Trey stands immobile as he takes in her words and what she wants him to do. Then he shakes himself out of it. "I'm not going to kill you, Alexa." He goes over to her and has her stand. "If I had wanted to kill you I'd have done it before now."

He picks up the chain and holds it to her. "Deactivate it, please." Alexa may have attuned the chain to him but she didn't give him the activation/deactivation codes.

Alexa looks at Trey searchingly for some time before she takes the chain and says something softly. She then hands the chain back to him.

Trey then takes the chain and places it on her. "I ask that you don't reactivate this chain, Alexa. I would however, like it if you would wear it like I do." 

After the auction the first thing Trey had done was make Alexa give him a new chain. He wears it everywhere.

"Trey," Alexa says closing her eyes. "It would be better if you just kill me. Take care of my people for me."

Trey gently pushes her loose hair from her face. "Not going to happen. Silver Dragons is your mess. I'm going to do my best to make sure that you never die because after just a few days of dealing with that I had constant headaches. I never want to have that mess again." Trey tells her with a smile and then gives her a kiss.

"I'm tired, Trey," Alexa tells him with tears in her eyes. "So very tired of it all. The memories, the pain and betrayal, just waiting for you to change your mind, all of it."

Trey loses his smile and looks at her very seriously, "I can't do anything about the pain, memories or the betrayals you've had in the past. And I don't think I would if I could. Your past is what has made you the person you are this day and I love you. 

"I'm not going to change my mind about you, Alexa. You've made me a better person. The best thing that ever happened to me was when you made me your slave. I realized that a long time ago and the anger was long gone before I made that realization. I won't forget, and I won't forgive, because there is nothing to forgive. I needed the wake up that you gave me.

"I had become so dehumanized that I didn't see how sick and wrong it was to treat another human being like I had been treating others, especially women. It took you to make me realize that women are more than just eye candy or bed partners.

"I need you in my life, Alexa, and I'm not going to do anything to change that. I want you as my real girlfriend, I wish you would understand that." By then Trey has his hands wrapped around her hair and laying on the nape of her neck just holding her close to him and staring into her eyes. "I love you, Alexa Chambers. Please, be my girlfriend?" Trey says softly with a slight smile. He just hopes that she doesn't turn him down.

With Alexa, one never knows. It's one of the things he loves about her.

Alexa has tears in her eyes, "How can you want me after everything I've told you?" Her voice is filled with pain and a slight hope.

Trey releases one of his hands from her hair. Smiling even bigger he gently wipes the tear that escapes and says, leaning into her ear, "Because you are the most incredible person I've ever met. You are the strongest, most beautiful and the most terrifying female ever born and it intrigues me and I love it. Life with you will never be boring."

His words make Alexa laugh, but the laughter has a bitter tinge to it. "Yeah, one of us is bound to kill the other eventually."

Her words make Trey back up in horror. "Oh, no. At least I won't kill you. I meant it when I said that I want nothing to do with controlling the Silver Dragons. If any one kills the other it will be you killing me."

Trey smirks at Alexa's shocked face. Then he becomes serious, "Now that the situation with Ken and Mark is dealt with Joa wants us to make that trip to Asia. Do you feel up to going over there?"

At his words and change of subject Alexa pulls herself together completely. "Yeah, when will we be leaving?"

"Day after tomorrow. Does that give you enough time to make arrangements with Blaze?"

Alexa shrugs, "Blaze knows what to do. I'll be keeping in contact with him and he'll let me know if there are any problems. Right now the only problems are Ken's businesses. I'll be shutting down most of them I think. I'll be working on the restructuring while we are in Asia."

"Good, now that, that is taken care of," Trey once more advances to her and this time captures her mouth with his. "Let's finish what we started in the warehouse."

"Trey, I'm hungry," Alexa tries to protest, but another kiss by Trey and that shuts her up.

"So am I," Trey tells her after the kiss. He then picks her up and carries her back to the bed.

It isn't until some time later that they are able to leave the room and search out food. "I haven't eaten all day and I'm starving." Alexa says as they rummage through the refrigerator.

She finds several containers of leftovers and pulls them out. Trey pulls out others as well as some juice.

"I haven't eaten since breakfast. It's not like you to miss your meals, what happened?"

Alexa starts dishing up what she wants reheated on her plate as she answers, "Blaze had some questions about Ken's businesses that couldn't wait. Then I had to figure out what I wanted to happen with Mark." Alexa looks at Trey at this point.

"What are you going to do with Brianna and Katie?"

With that Trey lets out a sigh, "I don't know." Alexa had made it clear that she will leave their punishment in his hands. He doesn't want to disappoint her.

"When I talked to them earlier they asked if they could become escorts in my company." Alexa says taking out her now heated plate and placing Trey's in to heat up.

Trey looks at Alexa hard. "Would that be acceptable to you?"

Alexa looks up from her food and gives Trey a nod and a smile.

"Kate isn't eighteen yet, but I will have them both taught if you are agreeable. Once Katie turns eighteen then I'll have her work as well."

Trey bites his lower lip, "It's fine. It's just, Katie is still a virgin..."

"I know. I was very clear about the training to both her mother and her. Her mother has given her permission if it's what she wants. She asked for you to be her teacher."

"Alexa..." Trey doesn't know what to say and has more or less lost his appetite. 

"I teach the males and you teach the females, Trey. That's how it's been since you finished your training. If you don't wish to, then I'll have Jackson do it. She said that he'd be okay as well." Alexa says watching Trey closely.

"You've been with female clients and have trained Melany and Chantelle. Why are you now balking at teaching Katie?"

"She's a kid," Trey says a bit sick.

"Trey, you used girls younger than her before I came into your life. What's the real problem?"

"I watched her grow up." Trey finally manages to get out.

Alexa gets up from where she was sitting and eating. Smiling she goes to Trey and kisses him, "That's why she wanted you to teach her. She trusts you to be good to her, and she has a slight crush on you." 

"I-" Trey tries to say but can't get the words out.

Alexa backs off from him, "Just think about it. The training won't begin until we are back from Asia anyway."

Trey still tongue tied can only nod and look down at his food. He's always thought of Katie as a kid sister, someone to protect from the male of the species. The very idea of touching her and her touching him in a sexual manner makes him sick.
