During my last two contracts something disturbing has happened. They have actually expected me to work and work hard. Do I have grounds to sue for unreasonable conditions?

I usually ajdust my work rate in order to hit the deadline. Therefore if the client doen't supply the work, I take it easy.
But
I am working for a v small company right now, doing essential work, but only about 2-3 hours per day. I feel really guilty about not doing a fair whack because in a small company its too personal.
It makes me feel turd-like like.

There are still plenty of contracts round like your previous ones. You just have to be lucky.
