Why does she serve him?

Months ago a friend asked shayla why she would willingly enter into a relationship such as this. Master asked her a similar question.

'What is it about me that makes you want to be mine?' 'Why is it you love me?'

It made her think that evening, and she wrote some about it in her journal that night....

'Why does shayla love him? It's so simple, because he is what he is. He didn't want that answer when she said it, he wanted more than that. It made her think for the rest of the night. He is this unique combination of gruff, harsh, caring, and encouraging. Though he is occasionally harsh on shayla, there are undertones of gentleness and patience while he's doing so that she can't help but respond to. He challenges shayla. Not in the traditional way a man challenges a woman, but challenges her to improve, to go beyond what she thinks she's capable of. She could go on & on. What it comes down to though is she loves him because of what he is. When he looks at himself & sees what he is, that's when he'll know why she loves him. The why's & how's of a feeling can't be dissected like you would a frog or an earthworm. It just is.

Shayla recognized him on a subconscious level when he pinged her the first time, she's not been able to get him out of her head since. And we've, the past couple weeks, we've been meshing, fitting in a way and on a level that she's never experienced before. Which causes her to love him even more. And each time he corrects her, raises the bar on his expectations, gives her another task to do, tightens his hold on her and less lenient, she loves him even more. Already she's becoming less shayla and more part of Master. She can no longer tell where what she originally was stops & where his influence and will starts. And at the same time, what is emerging is very much shayla. He is guiding her in discovering herself.

You did this to her, Master. And you ask why shayla loves you after doing so much to her so rightly. The why's of her feelings for you are all tied into your Mastery of her. And your Mastery of shayla has been, for over a year now, wakening half-forgotten instincts and natural tendencies she didn't recognize for what they were. And yes she knows you've been bringing her along slowly. Rare in such a lifestyle as this is the man so wise to manage his girl in such a way. What you are, and the changes that have been taking place in shayla since she came here and been under your influence. That is the answer to your question. She loves, and is proud of, the person she's begun becoming since being here under your hand and at your feet. Why else does a woman love a man besides those things?'

Why else indeed?
