hosannah did not want reek in such a lewd manner. in fact, the thought of him in such a way had never crossed her mind. she admitted to owning him only because it gave her a sense of power, and she was emboldend by it. reek's soul belonged to her—and to raas—and this is why she makes mention of it. judging by the flippant response from this woman, she does not understand. but that is fine. let her remain ignorant, petulant even, because there would soon be a reckoning and they would, one way or another, find the light.
