Chapter 1: The Beckon Call of the Boudoir
Chester's brow crinkled as he looked up from his meticulous cleaning of a stained glass window depicting an emerald green bush with ruby cardinals hidden throughout like shy berries. The doorbell of the Humblewood Manor rang out with a merry tune, deep ringing bells and charming chimes that tinkled long after the visitor had been escorted inside echoing through the cavernous halls.
This visitor had elected to not only ring the bell three times in a quick succession, but was now also pounding on the door. Chester was not a young man and he did not appreciate having the song of his home, to say nothing of its peace, abused so. Anyway, whatever the visitor's business they would have to wait for him to shuffle his way slowly out to the antechamber.
As he opened the heavy oak door, twice as tall as a man and arched like the gates to a fairy cottage, his frown deepened; standing on the expansive front porch was a rather unwelcome face, that of the incorrigible Miss Miranda Featherwick, and she was wearing her most manic smile.
"CHESTER! Hello. Is she in? Please say Scarlett's around! I have news that can't wait a moment more." Miranda scooted inside past Chester, taking advantage of his decorum and unwillingness to block the path of a guest. "Wow wow, this old palace always amazes me no matter how many times I see it. I'd love to go poking about, but I know it would make you crazy so I'll be a good girl and wait here. Pinky promise!" She wiggled a pinky at Chester gaily, which he ignored.
"The mistress is in," he said, "I will check if she is available to meet."
"She doesn't need to be deeeecent~" Miranda sang after him with a giggle.
Chester winced inwardly, the flirty editor's words highlighting a very real concern and fanning a spark of dread in his stomach. Dread and guilty anticipation in equal measure. Scarlett Sojourner had a peculiar malady, only arguably a malady, really, that necessitated her working from home and remaining in solitude much of the time. It also required her staff to be wise and disciplined enough to control themselves around her, which generally meant older staffers like himself.
As he climbed the third spiral staircase up to his mistress' chambers, an especially eclectic one with dragons and nymphs cavorting in intricate carved reliefs along its iron framework, he heard the first shriek. Rather than increase his pace, he immediately stopped and sat down, heart already hammering wildly in his chest. He knew Scarlett's cries of ecstasy quite well and there was no mistaking them for distress. Problematic distress, that is. His own happy distress was rapidly reaching iron hardness in response to her siren song, and he stood for a moment to adjust himself down along his thigh lest he come into strained conflict with his zipper.
"Oh gods, sweet fuck I NEED it! Harder, fuck me harder! Be rough, take me, please! Faster, d*EEP*.....eRRRrrr~" Scarlett's voice thickened with a soul-deep groan and then rocketed to high pitch before peaking in a squeak that set Chester's heart pounding blood to his turgid member and finally relaxing into a languid purring growl.
His mistress's breathily breathless voice sang out loudly enough to carry through the entire manor, and probably also the neighborhood, so Chester's proximity made her beckon call nearly irresistible. While his manhood had always been striking at attention it achieved a truly astounding prominence when inspired by her power and her passion. It was twenty-six centimeters long and thicker than his lady's fist, and still growing. She could take him, he was certain; he'd seen her monstrous toys. Of course, she took her painfully sweet time with those and he was in no condition to ease into her. He shut his eyes tight and shook his head, angry at himself for letting his lust carry his thoughts off to dangerous realms of possibility.
Chester had served the Sojourner bloodline for centuries and he had a hand in raising Scarlett and her mother and her mother's mother... She was like a daughter to him. Or a great big granddaughter. Which was worse to desire so desperately, he wondered? Too often he found himself wondering such things.
As Scarlett's cries drifted off into deeply contented humming, Chester gathered himself up and stood. The tension in his balls was so painful it made him nauseous, but he determinedly arranged the obscene tent in his trousers to minimize its profile. Or at least keep it from pointing straight at the woman he wanted more than anything to flood with his seed. More than *almost* anything. He wanted her happy and well even more, and he was certain any dalliance with him would prove detrimental to the household. Maybe also her womanhood. Nevermind that she had never looked at him as anything other than a father figure. He was almost sure of it. The two of them together was a terrible idea. Monstrous. Scarlett's Lady's Maid Annie would have to take a few days off for bed rest when he finished with her tonight. Finished in her. Thankfully that relationship was well established, Annie was enthusiastically accommodating, and was at her time of life where contraception was no longer a point of interest. He smiled quietly; age wasn't all bad.
