The door opened to reveal a beautiful room. It was much smaller than her husbands'. Warm colors flooded the room making it seem cozy. There was a fireplace in the corner, a large bed with burnt orange and dusty pink pillows on the opposite wall. On top of the bed was a soft, fluffy, ivory comforter. The small table beside the bed had freshly cut flowers, yellow and pink petals and bright green leaves in a small white vase which lay beside a small leather-bound notebook. There was a bearskin rug on the floor as well as a small, empty bookshelf.
The door that leads to the bathroom was open. Giselle walked through it to find a small copper tub as well as a toilet and sink. There was a large dresser with a mirror inside as well. It was filled with soft towels and new clothes. There were scented soaps and candles on top of the dresser. Giselle smiled at the thoughtfulness that Benjamin had displayed towards her. He had remembered each of her favorites. There was lavender, and lemon, and cinnamon apple scents as well as rose and vanilla. She had never seen so many nice things. And they were all hers. She smiled sweetly as she ran her fingers over the cold glass bottle of pink bath salts. What a lovely place he had made for her.
Benjamin stood outside the door to her room. He tapped his fingers nervously against his crossed arms. The room he had worked so hard on was now being inspected by its owner and he was hoping that he had made choices that would comfort her and make her feel special.
"Do you like it?" He called after Giselle from the bedroom.
After a moment, Giselle walked to where he was standing and smiled. "This is the most wonderful gift anyone's ever given me. Thank you so much Benjamin!"
"I've spoken with Cadence and we agreed that the room is to be yours alone. No one is allowed to come into your room unless you say it's okay. But, Cadence will be allowed to tell you to come outside."
"And what about you?"
"If you want to be alone, then I won't expect to see you until you're ready."
Giselle nodded, somewhat dissatisfied that she could not hide away forever in the room. "Thank you,"
"Of course. I'm going to take a walk in the gardens. Would you like to stay here?"
Giselle hesitated, but decided that the room would be there for her when she was finished with her walk. Slowly, she nodded her head.
"Yes."
"You may stay here if you rather,"
"Thank you, but I would like to accompany you." She said following him through the door and closing it behind her.
Outside the air was warm and sweet with the scent of flowers. She could hear, in the distance, the cheerful chirping of various birds as they sang happily in their trees. The gravel crunched underfoot as she walked along the path.
"I am very pleased that you liked the room, Giselle," Benjamin said without looking up from one of the flowers. "I know that you were unaware of what would happen to you here and that you had not been trained to live as a slave. Still, you must stay given the other option. I know that staying would. be a difficult choice for you," he said meeting her eyes, "I do not take it lightly."
When he looked up he saw Cadence walking towards them and added quickly, "But no more talk of that. Do not breathe a word of this to my brother."
Giselle's heart pounded at the thought of having to keep the secret from one brother. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Cadence's voice. She knew that if she was not careful, he would suspect something. And tonight she would have to spend with him, alone. The thought made her stomach turn. She was no longer sure that his pleasantries and demeanor were authentic.
After all, it was Benjamin who told her the truth about her position. Even if Benjamin had pleaded for her to stay, it still seemed to be a kinder gesture than Cadence's secrecy.
Gisselle greeted him as calmly and normally as she could. His footsteps were loud, crunching against the gravel as he walked towards his brother and their slave.
"Are you ready to come in for dinner?" He asked them both.
They agreed and Gisselle accompanied her owners back to the house. The meal felt long. She could hear the ticking of the clock in the next room. Cadence has asked her to kneel beside him while he ate. He took his time. Gisselle could feel her legs and feet begin to tingle uncomfortably. She shifted slightly. Then shifted again.
Her master took notice of her posture. There was something delightful in her discomfort. Cadence put a hand to her shoulder.
Only a short while ago, she would have found this comforting, now it felt like a threat. Her heart pounded faster. She had never been a very good liar. How would he react when he knew the truth? No. She would keep up the game. She would not allow him to find out.
That night she waited for Cadence in his room after dinner. Her owners usually spent some time drinking and talking alone after they ate. She knew he would arrive soon.
She sat curled up on the edge of the couch. Her heart was pounding, but she tried to take deep breaths. She had just gotten out of the bath, her hair still slightly damp and fresh with the scent of lemon and flowers. The fire kept her warm even though she was only wearing a silk nightgown and soft robe her master had given her.
The door creaked open and her head snapped in that direction. Cadence walked in quietly, smiling to himself. His eyes met hers. They seemed warm and inviting, still, she hesitated to speak.
"How did you like the room?"
"Benjamin did a wonderful job, Sir."
"Benjamin?" He said slyly.
"Sorry, Sir."
He gave her a strange, disapproving look.
"I wanted to let you know that on your nights with me you are still to stay in this room. You will not leave without permission. Is that clear?"
"Very clear, Sir," she said sadly.
He took a seat beside her. "Come, sit on my lap."
She did as she was told. Her skin felt cold, covered in goosebumps as he stroked her arm. He began to kiss her lightly. His hands moving along her waist and up to her breast as they teased her nipple. She felt such a strange mix of nervousness and excitement, that a soft moan escaped her lips.
Cadence smirked down at her and touched the place again. Gisselle closed her eyes. For a brief moment, her fear melted away and was replaced by pleasure.
