'The House Guest' involves characters who appeared in my earlier offering, 'The Discipline Begins', and refers to events contained therein, but can be read as a stand alone story.

Florence Roberts' pretty ever-so slightly retroussΓ© nose had been put out of joint. Sir Richard had invited a guest to stay at the Manse: Marsha Williams, best-selling popular historian and sparkling panellist on light-hearted radio discussion shows. When Sir Richard had rung to summon his maid to be introduced to his elegant lady friend, he had assured her that Florence could be expected to show the same deference and respect to his guest as to himself. Dr. Williams, a small, slight woman, had remained seated as Florence meekly extended her hand. Lightly clasping the proffered fingers, the sharp-nosed redhead coldly surveyed the girl from above her horn-rimmed spectacles, taking in the deep 'v' of cleavage peeping from the crisp white pinny, the short navy dress that ended above the fishnets to reveal a glimpse of garter belt, and the black patent three and a half inch heels. Uncomfortably aware that the uniform her master had chosen for her was might be thought immodest, Florence found herself blushing, her eyes downcast as she wilted under the blue-stocking's frosty appraisal. "You had best fetch my luggage to my room," the academic had said curtly.
The week that had followed had not become less strained. Dr. Williams had proved a distinctly demanding house guest, constantly finding errands for Florence to run, and never being satisfied with her execution of them. Inevitably the girl had responded to the constant sighing and head shaking by becoming sullen and unhelpful; worse when the older lady barked her orders the young maid found herself becoming flustered and unable to think, her fumbling efforts to obey only further trying the doctor's limited patience. This, Florence thought angrily, was not how one got the best out of a maid. Mentally contrasting Marsha Williams's constant carping and undisguised annoyance with Sir Richard's sparing praise and courteous discipline, she found herself tingling at the memory of her master's firm hand falling upon her exposed buttocks.
And that was not the worst of it. Since the ghastly Dr. Williams had come to stay her prim master had been observing the utmost decorum: not so much as a wandering hand had caressed his maid's thigh, never mind smack her cheeks. Marsha Williams on the other hand was being thoroughly serviced, this much Florence could testify to from the constant changing of her master's sheets; frankly she was surprised, and not a little impressed, by his sexagenarian stamina. To the devoted maid, who had never dared to aspire to grace her master's bed, having had to content herself with the occasional absent-minded grope as she went about her chores, it seemed an injustice that he should choose to sire this sour old trout when her supple young body was so entirely at his disposal.
She smiled at the memory of how after he had spanked her for the first time, she had invited Sir Richard to unburden his load upon her upturned face. As she had gratefully licked away the semen that flecked her lips, she had rubbed her master's cum into the flushed skin of her breasts displayed to him in the lacy quarter cups, her finger tips forming slow circles around the distended nipples. Afterwards Sir Richard had been embarrassed; the next morning he had struggled to meet her eye. He had found cause more than once to repeat the beating, but his cock had remained stiffly within his slacks. However, as Florence lay across his lap recuperating between sets of swats, he had taken to inserting into her slot a pair of probing fingers, testing her moisture in the knowledge that the greater the arousal the higher the pain threshold; so it was not as if her master could be in doubt as to her willingness to accommodate him. Presumably the courtly older gentleman preferred to preserve the proprieties of the master-servant relationship. He was such an old-fashioned thing.
Seething with resentment at her master's imperious house guest, and deprived of discipline, Sir Richard's maid was becoming increasingly sulky and impertinent. That morning as Florence was setting out the breakfast things, Marsha Williams had turned the page of her broadsheet newspaper and jogged the girl's arm, causing the spoon from the marmalade pot to flick off the tray and onto the academic's patterned silk dressing grown.
"You stupid girl!" the doctor yelped.
"It's your fault," Florence snapped back. "If you watched what you were doing..."
"Florence!" Sir Richard's nostrils flared, his tone brooking no further dissension from his maid servant. For a moment Florence thought he might discipline her right there and then across the breakfast table, lifting her skirt in front of his annoying house guest. Mortified the maid was stunned into silence.
"You really are the most clumsy child," the academic continued, wiping golden shred from the lapel of her gown. Florence looked to her master hoping for support, but the grey-haired gentleman had buried his face in The Times.
"Perhaps, Dick," the doctor added waspishly, "You might bring yourself to consider employing a domestic with less in her bra and rather more under her bonnet."
"Marsha..." Sir Richard warned softly.
"I grant you she is ornamental, if slutty constitutes your notion of the feminine ideal; no doubt she would be a decorous addition to a middling-priced brothel. But where is the use in the girl? Were she some village dumpling in awe of the big house, it might be possible to hope for more from her in time. But look at her, all of life's advantages, a good upbringing, a decent public school and, though I can scarcely credit it, a second in classics from Cambridge, albeit only Cavendish, and yet she seems incapable of the most simple household tasks! I scarce imagine how she struggles with her secretarial duties. Doubtless after the fashion of her generation she drafts your correspondence in textspeak."
Florence, who was close to tears, bridled at this. She coped very well with her secretarial duties; Sir Richard had even asked her to help him with his research. It was just the household stuff she found a challenge; that and the gardening of course - there had been that time she put undiluted fertiliser on Sir Richard's immaculately manicured lawn, her bum had smarted quite a bit after that; oh, and the chauffeuring -- when she had jumped a light, Sir Richard had felt obliged to demonstrate the colour it had been upon her cheeks.
"But look at the useless lump," the doctor went on. "Content to strut around in high heels and flash a bit of bare flesh, in the hope of ingratiating herself with... with..."
"A foolish old man?" offered Sir Richard, putting down his paper.
Marsha Williams had suddenly gone very pale.
"Miss Roberts," Sir Richard sighed, "would you be so kind as to fetch our guest a damp cloth? Thank you."
Florence turned to leave. "Close the door after you," Sir Richard added. "Oh, and could you give us a few minutes?"
Florence knocked softly on the door to the breakfast room. "Enter," came Marsha Williams's crystal tones. Florence was not quite sure what to expect: Marsha lying sobbing draped across the table, she hoped, or perhaps kneeling face to the wall, her gown pinned up in expectation punishment. To the maid's intense disappointment the academic seemed perfectly composed and in control of yourself, if a little more polite than previously.
