CH 1: A House Tale
The rush of brilliant white light abruptly woke him.
"Shut the curtains, woman" He screamed.
"But Sire, the Marquis, your father said to wake you."
"I don't care shut the curtains. I don't need light to wake me, just a gentle nudge will be appropriate."
"Sorry, Sire. I did not mean to anger you." She closed the curtains and turned to face him. She thought he was handsome for a man; of course, she was younger than he was by a year. She had been working for Master and Mistress for over three years now. Grace's father sold her to the Marquis for back taxes owed, as an indentured servant and she had two more years before she could leave, if she wanted too. She started working in the lower part of the castle, and over the years, she had moved up to the upstairs, to clean and wake Master and Mistress's family. They have three children, Sweet Bernadette, Sophie, and of course the handsome Paul; there was a fourth a son, but he died three months before the birth of Paul. Today was his birthday; he was now 21 years old and fresh for the taking as she thought. In her limited 20 years of life, she was still a virgin, although many have tried, none succeeded, she was waiting for Master Paul to take her. She had deliberately not worn any underwear in hopes that he would force himself on her. She dreamed of him taking what he wanted from her. Stories abound in the castle of what went on in the lower reaches of the castle, stories that made her wet and aroused when she heard them.
"What can I do for you, Master Paul?" She said looking at his steel blue eyes.
"Bring me a carafe of coffee and crepes with strawberries and whipped cream. What is your name again? Grace? Is it?"
"Yes, Master Paul. I am Grace, your upstairs chambermaid. I'm at your request day and night, Sire." She had put the emphasis on the night. She thought he caught on, but sometimes men can be so dim witted.
"Yes, Grace. Off with you and get what I requested for my breakfast. I will have it here in my chamber." Grace curtsied and ran off to do his bidding. She arrived in the kitchen as Mrs. Durand, the cook, was just finishing up with the strawberry crepes and a carafe of coffee. Grace took a tray and set up for coffee and strawberry crepes for Master Paul.
"Grace, dear. What are you doing?" Mrs. Durand asked.
"Oh, I am taking some coffee and crepes to Master Paul. He requested his morning meal in his bed chamber."
"No, Master Remi instructed that his children attend with him in the Grand room for their morning meal. Go tell Master Paul that his father requests he attend the morning meal in the Grand room. Take the carafe with you."
"Yes, Mrs. Durand." Off she went back upstairs with the coffee, but no crepes. Knocking on his door, she entered. He was lounging in his chair with only his underpants on. Embarrassed by his sight Grace set the coffee on the small table in front of him.
"Grace, why so red?"
"I apologize, Sire. But I have not seen a man in his undergarments."
"Does my sitting here, in my under garments excite you Grace?" Looking into her emerald green eyes, he gathered by her stance that she was excited. Moving back and forth, not looking at him directly, but indirectly, and lightly flushed face and neck. His father had told him, a couple of years ago, that when a woman, any woman, is aroused she will start to fidget as he called it, avoid eye contact, and maybe mildly red if not full flushed. He saw every indicator that she was aroused.
"Come here Grace." She stood there, but did not hear him.
"GRACE, come here please." That woke out of her daydream. She walked over to stand in front of Paul.
"Where are the crepes?"
"Sire, Mrs. Durand stated the Marquis requested that you and your sisters join him in the Grand room for your morning meal. I have brought you coffee, Sire."
"Grace, what is your full name?"
"Grace Elizabeth Monteiro, Sire"
"Have you been with a man Grace Elizabeth?"
Her eyes went wide with shock that he would ask such a question of her. It was very risquΓ© and rude to ask this question. She stood there in stunned silence; she could feel the heat of her blushing running through her body. Staring into his blue eyes, she could not fathom to answer him. She could feel herself getting wet and her juices were definitely running down her thighs, she could feel the coolness of the liquid slowly making its way down towards her knees. Still looking at him with shock and humiliation, she finally answered him.
"No, Sire. I have not laid with a man or boy before nor since I have been in the Marquis employment." Her head bowed and looking at the floor.
"Grace, you will come to my chamber tonight, after your duties are finished, remain as you are dressed. If someone should ask for you tell him or her you will attend to him or her but I have requested your presence. We will be discussing some disturbing issues I have with you. Now, go and tell Mrs. Durand that I will be down."
"Yes, Sire. Sire, may I ask what issues are they?" Looking into his beautiful deep blue eyes, causing her nether region to wet herself and wishing he would command her to strip, so he could fuck her senseless.
"Grace, we will discuss it when you return tonight. Not before, is this understood?"
"Yes, Sire. I will be here after my duties are finished. May I take my leave Sire?"
"Yes, go."
Grace turned around and walked out of Paul's bedchamber turned to the right to go to the kitchen, but stopped short to feel under her skirt, she was soaking wet, running her fingers into her slit. She inserted her finger into her virgin hole and then brought it to her lips, tasting herself as she has done for the last couple of years. She likes her taste and wonder what he will taste like; she can only hope she will find out tonight.
As Paul dressed, he thought of Grace Elizabeth; her constant blushing with him in the room, he assumed that she would do anything for him. She was the prettiest thing standing over one and half meters, nice looking bust, but it was the ass that got his cock standing. Of course, he was to get his father's permission before anything would happen tonight, she did not know that, but he did. It was his birthday today, so he would have unlimited opportunities this day. His father, Remi Maximillian Louve was a Marquis, serving the borderlands with Comte, thus his title Marquis du Comte. He has been serving as Marquis for longer than I have been alive. His Mother, Marquees du Comte, Claudine Gabrielle Cabanas, she married my father some twenty-five years earlier.
Ok, so by now you are wondering who we are, right? Well, I am right! Ok, so I am Paul, 21, son of Remi and Claudine Louve, I am the eldest living child, had an older brother, but he died a year before I was born, and then there are my sisters Bernadette, and the youngest Sophie. Bernie -- as I call her -- will be 20 in three months; Sophie will be 19 in five months' time. Both of my sisters are very good looking, based on the number of young suitors showing up at the door, only to be turned away by our father, life for my sisters is really rough. No land, except by marriage, no anything else unless they marry. Me, I am Paul Reginald Louve -- Oh, and it is pronounced like "Love" -- the heir apparent to my father's fortune, land, and title. I stand almost two meters high, solid build and handsome -- according to my mother and sisters at least -- and several young society girls, along with the local girls. I know my father has some important things to show and tell me today, he stated last night that I would be with him learning about the family history for the next two weeks. Some I know one place I have yet to get to; it is down the back hallway towards the rear of the castle to a locked heavy door. I have heard strange things coming from that room late at night, when the father and mother visit this room. Well, hopefully I will find out what it is and learn more about what it means to be Marquis Louve.
Paul dressed and descended to the Grand room, father seated at the head of the table and mother beside him on the right side. His mother looked flushed and disheveled -- kind of out of sorts -- I looked over at her.
"Mother, are you alright? You look like you have a fever."
"Your mother is fine, son. She has been over exerting herself this morning, but I told her to rest for the day while you and I are together. Maybe later, she will enlighten you about the formal history of our family."
"I look forward to it, Father. Where are my lovely sisters this morning?" Hearing the footsteps of my sisters entering the grand room I turned around facing mother on the left side of father. Bernie sat next to me and Sophie sat next to mother.
"Sorry, we are late father and mother. Sophie has had some troubles this morning that I helped her with it; Mother before you go and rest could Sophie and I talk to you?"
