Ebony Master, Ivory Slave: a Gay Romance

Product Information

ii. MASTER is responsible for making big decisions. While he may consult SLAVE, the final decision is to be his. If the enslaved woman was considered “pretty,” she would be bought by plantation owner and given special treatment in the house, but often subjected to horrifying cruelty by the master’s wife, including the beheading of a child because he was the product of a enslaved-master affair.

Doing house chores: A slave knows when he is expected to do some house chores, like cleaning the floor, putting things on place, etc. He should never sit idle, and when master is not using him, he uses that time to complete some house chores. Residing on Halifax Plantation–known as Empty because of its rural Mississippi location, and an allusion for the hollow existence of slave life– enslaved stable workers Isaiah and Samuel indulge in a romance that’s not as hidden as they believe. Right away, Jones borrows from celebrated scholar Robin D.G. Kelley, who writes about race and resistance, by re-creating small acts of slave rebellion. "The Prophets" beginswith Isaiah, who is more aggressive than his lover, trying to make love to Samuel. “So, you risk whupping, then?” Samuel asks. “You forget? We ain’t even gotta do this much to risk whupping,” Isaiah responds. iii. MASTER is responsible for making sure SLAVE is taken care of and taking care of herself. This includes respecting the SLAVE use of safe word in any situation excluding punishment. c. SLAVE will ask for permission before entering or exiting the room/bed/etc for any reason. If denied, SLAVE will obey.A. The primary goal of MASTER in this relationship is to love, protect, guide and teach SLAVE to be a better match for MASTER.

iv. SLAVE is responsible for honest and open communication with MASTER at all times. MASTER will instill acceptable protocol for SLAVE discussing any issues or concerns and they should be followed at all times. It is entirely unacceptable for SLAVE to hide thoughts/feelings from MASTER, as this creates a time bomb that will surely go off. This also applies to the imperative use of the SAFEWORDS. Positive reinforcement has been proven a valuable training tool. MASTER will incorporate positive reinforcement in terms of rewards and praise for SLAVE performing well. Punishment is also a tool for training and teaching. MASTER will use punishment when SLAVE does not meet the requirements of His service. Punishments will be chosen by MASTER and will be handed out harshly. Such punishments may include physical fierce spanking with no warm up, time out, loss of “free time” or other privileges, extra chores, humiliation, aggressive use of soft limits, writing assignments, loss of privilege to cum, extended multiple orgasm, cold showers and anything else MASTER deems appropriate. Rebellion is one of the themes that stitches together the fabric of "The Prophets." Maggie, a fellow slave, wet nurse and cook, indirectly takes part in the gay couple’s rebellion. “There were many ways to hide and save one’s self from doom and keeping tender secrets was one of them,” Maggie says. “People rarely deviated from their nature, and although it pained her to admit, she found a tiny bit of comfort in the familiarity.” Not only does Maggie enjoy queer men intimately bonding with each other, she also enjoys watching them at night.

A. Keeping in line with MASTER and SLAVE personal preference for traditional home life, household chores are beneath MASTER. He may choose to help on occasion, but SLAVE should try to make this unnecessary by keeping up with the following household chores. I, __________, registered slave number ***-***-***, here in after referred to as SLAVE, willingly and of my own free will agrees to give total control to MASTER of my body, mind, and of my person. It was commonfor the slave to be subordinatedsexually to the master–even men with enslaved males. It was part of the enslaved man’s function as an “animated tool,” aninstrument of pleasure. Always refer to you master as “Master” and/or “Sir”. Never use second person pronouns like “you”, “your”, etc. A slave must never dare take his master’s name on his lips. Doing so will invite serious punishments.

This ownership shall begin on November 30, 2015 and shall continue until either MASTER or SLAVE submit a dissolution letter in writing.
