Lord Julius arrives at the castle after being gone off to battle for more than a week. Joseph, the manservant, informs him that the Lady Elizabeth received word that her sister was giving birth and requested her company. The Lady had left the night before and would return in four days unless she sent word otherwise.
Lord Julius huffed at the servant and stormed through the house into the living area. He plopped into the chair rubbing his forehead and started mumbling to himself. The Joseph asked if there was anything his Lordship required. Lord Julius just waved his hand sending the servant back to his duties.
Moments later Jean, the cook came into the room. She asked what time Sir would want dinner prepared and served. He told her that he wouldn't require much since it was just him tonight and that she should call him when dinner was served, to use her judgment on the time. She dismissed herself and returned to the kitchen.
Lord Julius called Marie, his maid, and told her to draw him a bath. He needed to clean the stench of his trip from his body. She left to do as the master requested. He heads up the stairs to prepare for his bath.
As he turned to go to his room, he walked by Lady's room. He and Lady had not shared chambers in many nights. He has almost forgotten what it feels like to have a woman lying next to him at night.
Lady's maid, Lydia, was in the room tidying up since Lady was gone for a few days. He stopped and watched her move around the room, humming to herself as she performed her duties. He noticed the lines of her figure as the light caught her from behind. Her breasts, soft and milky white, moving up and down as she breathed. Her waist so small and dainty. Her hips full and forming the bottom of a perfect hourglass shape. He can feel the lust building in his heart and loins.
He shakes his head and turns to go to his room. There he strips down and walks to where his maid had prepared his bath. She had laid clean linens for him to dry with when he finished. She had also sat his favorite ale next to the bath for him to sip on while he soaked. The bath had oils added to it, just the way he likes. The smell was intoxicating all in it's self.
He slips into the warm water, feeling the grime of the trip slipping from him. The water was so relaxing. Marie slipped into the room and asked if there was anything else he required. He replied that all he needed was to be notified when the cook was starting dinner so that he would be ready. She agreed and left the room.
Lord Julius slid down into the tub and let the water flow over his body and head. He emerged, his hair dripping with the water. He is feeling much better now. Sipping on his ale, he leans back against the tub and relaxes for a bit. He closes his eyes and the image of Lydia is there, taunting him.
He can feel the heat rising in his body as he pictures her moving about, her body moving with the music that she hums softly. The tune echoes in his mind. He pictures her slowly removing her clothes, exposing her luscious body to him. Her smile taunting him as if she is daring him to take her.
His desire has become unbearable. He must have release. It has been so long since he has taken a woman, he could just burst. His manhood has grown so hard with the lusting in his mind. He reaches down and starts to slowly stroke it. He thinks back to what it feels like to be inside a woman. Soft and tight, wet and warm. He misses those feelings.
With his eyes closed and his hand slowly stroking his hardness, he slips into his lustful world thinking of Lydia and how it would feel to have her. With a startle, he hears someone clear her throat announcing her arrival into the room. He quickly sits up and sees Lydia standing there. He demands to know what she wants.
Lydia apologizes for disturbing Master but she wanted to know if there was anything she could do for him since Lady was away and she was finished with her duties. He shook his head no. She turned to walk away and he calls her back. He tells her to come into the room and shut the door behind her. He wanted to talk with her for a moment.
