Lauretta’s pov The guards led me to a large brown door with gold ornamental designs at the edges, I’d never seen any door as luxurious as that.
“Go in what are you waiting for ” One of the guards urged rudely before they left their loud steps echoing in the Hallway.
I pulled down the smooth golden knob, my hand almost slipping on it from how smoothly carved it was.
I open the door and get in.
My eyes landing on a woman old enough to be my mother sat on a chair opposite the dressing chair.
“Welcome ma’am,” she smiled widely, giving me a good look at her charming gap tooth, I wish I was that happy.
“I’m Naomi, I’m here to get you ready for tonight ” The word “tonight” Sent shivers down my aching spine, but I merely smiled back at her, hiding my shaky hands under the heavy cloth I was wearing, Naomi stood up from the chair, going behind me to pull down my zip “I’ll just undress you ma and wash you up ” I nodded my shoulders tensed as she gently disrobed me like she was my mother and I her child.
I stood naked in front of the mirror, my eyes to the floor, I always preferred not to look at my body because it only reminded me of the fact that I underfed, my body was all sharp angles, no curves, tiny breasts which made the other pack girls call me “pimple tits”.
“You have beautiful skin ma’am” She complemented to which I replied a small “thank you ” Even though I didn’t believe her, she was probably just trying to be nice.
“I’ve prepared the bath already, right here ” She pointed to a door adjacent the mirror, I followed her, the cold night air making my skin pimple with goosebumps, my hairs standing on edge.
The bathroom was a large one, at least four times bigger than the one me and my mother shared with the other maids, it had a big bathtub which could contain at least three people in the centre, a trolley was at the left side, the first row containing rows of scented candles which made the entire bathroom smell like lavender and milk.
The maid pointed to the tub and I got in, the warm water immediately soothing my aching body, I almost moaned in relief, my arms floated on the soapy bubbles alongside the purple lavender leaves on the surface.
The maid went to the trolley fetching a glass tube from the last row, she poured the oil on her palms, the viscous liquid shining in the dim lights, the aroma was unlike anything I’d ever perceived, the closest thing I can attribute the smell to is a freshly baked cake.
“This is an oil, for soothing the skin ma’am, this will calm your nerves ” She rubbed the shimmery oil unto the skin of my chest in circling motions, I closed my eyes and drifted off to a very brief nap.
“Ma’am I’m done,” I looked around confused, the tight knots in my stomach returning, I swallowed and stood up, while the maid fetched a white towel from the rack and wrapped it around me, her soft motherly hands brushing me in the process.
I sat on the bed in the room, while the maid raised the red lingerie that looked like something a stripper would wear for her customers, it was a sheer lace short gown with a low neckline and thigh high slit, I didn’t understand the gown, it was better I appear naked because it covered nothing, the maid raised cotton panties to my face, in the vulva area was a hole, and written on top of it was “use me ” My heart leapt from me at the implication of what that meant, Heat exploded in my face, what was this?
As if they hadn’t shamed me enough and the maid was smirking too, like she found this funny.
“You look so beautiful ma’am ” The maid said as soon as she was done, and oh she exclaimed batting her eyes shyly at me, she reached into the chest of her maid uniform and brought out a plastic tube and handed it over to me, on it was written in bold “Gel lube “.
“This is to reduce the pain ma’am, make sure to apply it on your private part before his majesty comes over ” She instructed with a neutral expression on her face like there was nothing crazy about what she was saying, I nodded at her, smiling pretentiously, and said “thank you ” In a small voice, she patted my back reassuringly “it will be okay ” She reassured before she left me sitting on the bed, my palms sweaty against the uncomfortable lace against my bare skin, I felt so exposed as my skin pricked with goosebumps.
Did Malachi really expect me to do this?
I’d never even done anything even though my boyfriend has been pressuring me, I’d always been too scared to give in to his advances.
I was probably supposed to start applying the lube, Malachi could enter through that door any minute, I stood from the bed making to go to the bathroom to apply the lube in case Malachi entered suddenly.
The knob turns and Malachi enters through the door, I’d not even seen him before I knew, his sandalwood scent was enough to tell, I froze in place, like if I stood still he wouldn’t notice me.
“Strip and get on the bed ” He commanded in a gruff voice, my heart jumped to my throat and I swallowed, willing myself to be calm so I could defy him, I turned around slowly, face to face with his red eyes that sent shudders down my spine.
“Please” I begged, my voice breaking “please” I said again, he looked at me his face betraying no emotion.
“Lauretta my prize, we could do this the easy way or the hard way, I really like the hard way, it makes me hard just thinking about it “.
