Chapter 5
A real love and a strong lover.
"Don't I have to clean this loveseat first?"
Madeleine smiled at her and nodded before saying, "Yes you do," She stopped toying with her riding crop and held out a hand to help her up. Corrine took hold of her hand as she sat up. "There is a cleaning cloth behind the bar," She said using her riding crop as a pointer. "Once you are done I will send Francis over to you,"
Corrine nodded and raised her head just as her tutor was about to walk off. "Madeleine, can I ask you something?"
She stopped and moved in closer to her. Corrine asked in a quiet voice and a soft tone. "Who is that French woman?"
Madeleine smiled back at her, "Caught your attention, has she? That my sweet thing is Claudette. A word of warning, she plays rough,"
Corrine reached out and touched her arm, Madeleine stopped and waited. "And the older woman next to Betty?"
She smiled, "Her name is Margaret Fleming, and she is married by the way so even more dangerous. You do pick them, don't you Corrine," This time she walked away to join Peggy and Betty with some others.
Corrine picked up her maid's outfit and decided not to bother with trying to get back into it at that moment. She ventured off to the small bar in search of the cleaning cloth. She was squatted down behind the bar out of sight, and overheard a conversation between several women. "She is so hot but such a sassy bitch according to Franny, she nearly broke her arm,"..... "The young ones are all the same, fucking anything on two legs because they can and they think it will never end, poor luv has a shock coming to her I reckon,".... "I think she would be nice once you get to know her,"...... "Maddy is smitten by her and she doesn't give her the time of day,"...... A selfish bitch if you ask me, all the young ones are the same,".... "I thought they were a couple, haven't they been together for 3 months or something?" Whoever they were had wandered off as the conversations ceased. Corrine stayed there a while longer, thinking about what she had heard.
Maddy was smitten with her, 'no way' she thought. She hadn't even flirted with her or shown any signs of romance, they talked about it, for what 2 minutes over 3 months, were they even that close? I mean apart from one brief session, they were not even lovers, and I'm certainly not going to play out as being a submissive type just so she could get her thrills, hell no. All those thoughts ran through her head in a milli-second.
She stood up walked back to the loveseat and began to wipe the seat down, most of Michelle's juices had dried up and she was lost deep in thought, not seeing who was approaching.
"Hello there," A voice said but it was her perfume, or was it an aftershave, that Corrine recognised before she looked up and saw the elderly woman sit down next to her on the loveseat. She rested her hands in her lap. Corrine stopped what she was doing and looked at her hands and then up to her face.
"What is it you are wearing, the perfume I mean?" She asked.
"It's aftershave, 'Old Spice', my husbands," Came the reply.
"I was told you were married and that it would be dangerous to mix with you," Corrine continued a smile on her lips.
"Good lord, who would say such a thing?" She asked. Then rested a hand on Corrine's thigh, not in a suggestive way but more along the lines of sending a reassuring message. "I'm many things Corrine, being dangerous is not one of them,"
"I think they were referring to you being a married woman, not dangerous, dangerous if you get what I mean,"
"I do, and he lives and works in Singapore. We are married yes, but not in the traditional sense, not living together. It seems being married suits his purposes and it is convenient for me too," She told her. The look on her face was one of sadness or maybe it was loneliness, Corrine wasn't sure. She smiled at her.
"Corrine, I know you don't know me at all, but I'd like to take you to lunch or dinner sometime, just to talk mind you," She said to her, while she rubbed her thigh.
Corrine looked down at her hand rubbing her thigh. "Are you sure it is only to talk?"
The woman followed Corrine gaze to her thigh and stopped immediately apologising profusely. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to imply otherwise or anything," She said stumbling over her words. Blushing.
Corrine smiled back at her and took hold of her hand. And held it while telling her, "I'm not going to change into something I'm not. And I'm not submissive,"
"Good, because I'm no Domme,"
"Really. Then why are you here?"
"I enjoy dressing as I am, I don't get judged here," She stood up and Corrine let go of her hand. The older woman then suggested, "There's one thing I hope I can change in you," She told Corrine.
"And what's that?"
"That one woman is enough for you," She smiled and then turned and walked away. Margaret caught Francis walking towards Corrine and stopped her by grabbing hold of her arm.
