Chapter Six
"Kevin, take this little one inside and give her the grand tour. Answer her questions honestly and take your time. I will have Charlotte clear the table and take care of the kitchen," Miss Rachel explained looking directly at Kevin.
"Yes, Miss Rachel," he answered as he got up from the table and waved for Bella to follow him.
She wasn't sure exactly what she was supposed to do, so she stood carefully, pushed in her chair, and turned to Miss Rachel. "Thank you so much, Miss Rachel. I really enjoyed our chat and I'm looking forward to seeing your beautiful home."
She smiled kindly at Bella, "You're welcome, dear. Now go with Kevin and don't forget that he is your handler while you are here."
"Yes, Miss Rachel," Bella answered.
She followed Kevin back into the enormous house and he led her back to the front door where she had first entered.
Lifting his arm to show her the room, he said, "This is the entrance. One day you may be expected to great guests here, but you will need to be trained for that first."
Bella looked around and was in awe of the grand entrance. It was a very open area filled with sunlight. The floor was made of white marble and there was a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the second floor. There was an elegant stairway, winding its way up to the second floor, which was framed in a balcony allowing a view of the chandelier and the entrance.
"Come," said Kevin, "we will start with the second floor. He began climbing the stairs quietly with Bella following at his heals. "Let's start with Miss Rachel's room." Bella followed him to the end of the hall and he opened the door for her. "There are two very large bedrooms on the second floor. This one is Miss Rachel's Room." Bella nodded and looked around in fascination.
It was a dream bedroom for any woman. There was a king size four poster bed that was obviously the focal point of the room and all of the heavy, matching furniture was made of light oak. It was very spacious and elegant. There was a beautiful dressing table which neatly held what looked like an antique silver dressing table set.
"It's amazing," she said breathlessly.
Kevin agreed and opened a door at the far end of the room. Bella walked over and poked my head inside.
"Oh my," she said, impressed.
It was a very big, very modern, bathroom for two. There were two sinks on a very large counter and a huge Jacuzzi in the middle of the room. Another door led to the toilet.
Kevin closed all the doors behind them and led her to the next room.
"I've never seen anything like that," she whispered to Kevin.
"It is quite impressive," he replied, "but only the two master bedrooms are like that."
"Two master bedrooms?"
Kevin smiled, "Yes, you'll see in a minute."
He showed her into the next bedroom which was much smaller. It held a queen size bed, two night tables, and a small dresser. As she looked around, she noticed hooks hidden all over the place and she shivered knowingly. The next few bedrooms were very similar to the one she had just seen, but they were all accented in different colours. As they made their way to the other end of the hall, Kevin stopped in front of the last door.
"This is your Master's room," he said as he pushed the door open for her.
Bella's breath caught in her throat as she walked in. It was so elegant. The furniture was similar to that of Miss Rachel's, but her Master's was in dark oak and the four poster king size bed was framed in heavy opulent curtains which were pulled back and fastened. She opened the closet to see several suits hanging neatly and arranged by shade. Bella laughed to herself and knew right away that her Master had been here. She didn't dare open any other doors or drawers. There were two doors leading off of her Master's room and Kevin opened one of them. She walked over and looked around. It was the office that Miss Rachel had told her about. There was a huge oak desk in the middle of the room with a very comfortable looking leather chair behind it. The walls were lined in book cases, which of course were overflowing with books, and there was a very soft oriental rug on the floor. Kevin smiled at Bella and led her out and over to the second door which led to another immense bathroom. Her Master's bathroom also had two sinks, but the giant tub was a bit different. It looked as if you could fit at least three people in it. Bella couldn't help imagining taking a long, hot, relaxing bubble bath in that amazing tub. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
The faint smell of her Master's cologne hung in the air and she moaned, "Oh, my Master".
Kevin looked at her carefully. "What is it?" he asked.
"I can smell him," she said, a little sadly.
"Yes," he nodded. "He hasn't been here in a long time, but this room will always be here for him." He cocked his head to the side as he examined her. "You really love him, don't you?"
Bella blushed and wrapped her arms around her chest. "To tell you yes just doesn't seem good enough. He is the most amazing man I have ever met." She smiled and her face lit up as she explained, "He's so smart, so handsome, so-" she couldn't finish. She just couldn't find the right words to describe the man she loved so much.
"It's alright," Kevin said softly. "Your love and submission is clear to me. I wanted to make sure and the look in your eyes has answered all of my questions."
"You wanted to make sure?" she asked, a little shocked.
"Of course," he said calmly. "The Master is very important to all of us. I trust his judgment, but I also know that many women would do anything to get into his bed." He saw the worry on Bella's face and smiled at her as he wrapped one arm around her shoulders. With the other hand, he tapped on her collar and said, "Don't worry, little one. It is you who is wearing his collar."
Kevin took her by the hand and led her out of the room, closing all the doors behind them as they went back into the hallway. With his other hand, he motioned to all of the bedrooms upstairs.
"The Master and Miss Rachel's rooms are theirs alone. The others are guest bedrooms. Some visitors have preferences as to which room they'd like, but their occupants change depending on who is staying with us at any given moment." He motioned to another door that she hadn't noticed before. "There is another large bathroom there for the guests." Depending on what your Master wants, you may be trained on how to take care of the bedrooms and their occupants. Bella nodded her understanding and they headed back downstairs.
They hadn't run into anybody on the second floor, so she was a little surprised at how busy the first floor had become. A redhead in a French maid's outfit ran by them as they reached the bottom of the stairs.
Bella followed the girl with her eyes and jumped a little when Kevin calmly but firmly called, "Céline."
