I watched Mistress stretch out on the bed, her silken garters so graceful as she sprawled out on the bed. I was at the door after Mistress sent me to investigate the knock.
I already knew who the guest was. Mistress briefed me about the Earl who was coming this evening and that I should be on my best behavior like always and put something nice on. She picked out a beautiful dress that made me not look like a maid, but her lady. She had me soak in her fragrant bath after she had finished so I would smell like roses as well.
Opening the door just a bit I saw his foreign eyes looking down at me. Seeing these large brutish men that always came to see my Mistress almost makes me stutter in fear. His skin was a dark olive and his black hair and blue eyes were so different from the people of this world. Venusians were common though in my Mistress's presence despite his Highness's dislike for them. I always wondered if that made her like them more.
"Mistress Tremaine, I present Marcus Vermillion, Earl of Saepic." I announced after looking away from him frightfully. I fear men. Mistress taught me that men are all evil creatures who rape and enslave women. Seeing how the men around Mistress act I learned that lesson quick.
He came in and kneeled beside the bed Mistress laid upon, keeping her legs together to tease him and not let him see her sex for now. Mistress had met him at dinner and spoke to him most of the evening, but was unhappy that he would not agree with her. She told him to come visit her this evening after they had rested to discuss more. I am not sure what Mistress and him spoke about because Mistress said eavesdropping is bad. And I'm a good girl.
As they began to speak I walked back to the bed and sat on the stack of pillows Mistress had put there for me. Soft, silken pillows of every color laid there for me to bask in. Mistress is so sweet to me. I nuzzled one, but started to pay attention to Mistress and the Earl until she needed me.
The Earl looked down at her with a lustful look on his face. The same way his Highness looks at her when she starves him of her body for a few days. She was speaking to him sternly, but was being seductive as she batted her eyes and rubbed her knees together, making him anticipate them opening.
"Marcus, my precious sister would make a fine wife. She is young, beautiful, and fruitful. Despite her having one child she is in no way damaged or dishonorable." She argued.
"Please, your Highness. I need a beautiful untainted bride. Can not your daughter do instead? I know you have plans for her and my cousin Antonio, but do consider me over..."
