Celeste nodded, "Yes, owning your own business can be difficult and lonely. That is how my father died. He ran a business and it slowly became is life then he had the heart attack." She closed her eyes as the tears ran down. "I'm sorry. His death has always been difficult for me. He always loved me no matter what my mother did or said. He never believed her." She took a breath and closed her eyes. "Master can we go down to the beach? I love the water and the feeling of sand between my toes."

 

[marauder13]

"Yes, owning your own business can be difficult and lonely."

"Hmmm... well, I don't actually own any businesses. I run a fair number of them, and have a substantial say in many others. But, yes it is very difficult and lonely a lot of the time."

"That is how my father died. He ran a business and it slowly became is life then he had the heart attack. I'm sorry. His death has always been difficult for me. He always loved me no matter what my mother did or said. He never believed her."

He watched the tears roll down her cheek as she spoke of her father. He background was starting to come together more and more. The mroe he learned, the better he would be able to help her. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath as she dealt with the painful memories.

"Master can we go down to the beach? I love the water and the feeling of sand between my toes."

"Certainly." Edward stood up, and helped Celeste stand. When she was upright, he took her into a warm embrace. "Thank you for sharing some of your past with me." He gave her a kiss on her crown. "Before we go there is one matter that I need to attended to first."

He turned to face Angel. "I will not be cruel to you, Angel, and make you walk on the beach in that attire. Therefore you will await my return in the front foyer, and resume your following me when I come for you. Go, Angel."

Angel turned and headed back to the manor as instructed. With a sad expression, he turned back to Celeste, and took her hand as they walked to the beach. When they reached the edge of the sand, Edward stopped. "You go ahead if you want, I need to remove my shoes and socks first."

 

[princesssuzanne]

Celeste smiled and head down to the waters edge and began to skip along the edge and run into the water and then turn around and run back. She loved the water and it made her feel free. As if she didn't have care in the world. She ran back to Edward laughing. "Come on Master. The water feels so good and its hot out here." She stood by his side and waited for him to walk into the water with her.

 

[marauder13]

As he took off his shoes and socks, Celeste raced to the water's edge, running into the water a little then running back. Her smile was radiant and she was laughing as she got back to his side. He enjoyed seeing her happy, as it would help her with the days to come.

"Come on Master. The water feels so good and its hot out here."

"Almost ready," he replied, rolling up his pants to just below the knees. He placed his shoes down on a small rise where he could see them easily. He took her hand again, and they walked down to the water.

The sea water rose up the beach to challenge their intrusion into Poseidon's domain. Relentlessly, the waded further into the small surf until the water was half way up their calves The bottom of Celeste's dress was wet, but Edward didn't mind that much. But Celeste was correct, the water was did feel good. But as with all things of this nature, the company had a factor in it too.

"I am happy to see you enjoying yourself, Celeste." Edward slowed down their walking until they stopped, and he leant down and gave Celeste a gentle kiss. "Thank you for trusting me, even this little bit."

Aria looked up at Pearl. She was hurting even her Pearl? How? She'd never meant to hurt anybody. Aria shook her head and then lay back on the bed, so tired, sleep felt like a warm blanket and it was slowly covering her, "No, Pearl. I will always love you. But the Master of the house...I think I've lost him forever." her voice was thick with sleepiness and she closed her eyes in exhaustion.

Worried, she nodded, but let Aria fall under the veil of sleep. Unstrapping her shoes, she set them aside and curled up next to Aria, letting their bodies come close, almost nesting together like puppies. Aria was hurting, and she had no idea how or why Johnathan would get rid of Aria, and Pearl wondered what was the terrible thing she had done to earn his ire.

Quickly the call of Morpheus was answered by Pearl, and her body lie sleeping next to Aria's, silent and unmoving so not to disturb her.

Cat was finished in the kitchen and everything was prepared for when she would have to wake Master. She checked her watch again and noticed she still had another two hours before she would have to wash and make herself ready.

Returning to her room she saw the two women lying together on the bed. Aria was lying at an awkward angle and no doubt would, the next morning, be suffering from neck pain. She gently moved her head into a position that would not place the undue pressure on her top vertebrae. She gently kissed her forehead with the slightest of touches from her lips as she whispered “God help me, I love you Mistress”. Both women looked exhausted and Cat did not want her alarm to wake them.

Satisfied all was well she took some bed clothing and went to one of the empty rooms. Arranging the bed clothes on the floor she soon drifted into a very sound sleep.

 

[princesssuzanne]

Celeste smiled, "May I hug you, Master?" She anticipated his answer. She wanted to feel his body next to her. She wanted to feel him exploring her and she wanted to explore him. Oh she wanted so much more. She wanted to cum for him and make him cum.

 

[yeishia]

Angel was relieved to be allowed to return to the house. Grabbing a bottle of water from the kitchen she returned to the foyer to await their return. The delicate chairs were uncomfortable, given her

sticky state and so she found a spot in the corner out of the traffic flow. She sank down brought her knees up to her chest, her arms wrapped around them; emotionally drained she was

soon in a deep dreamless sleep. Her last conscious thought was the hope that celeste was happy in the arms of their Master.

 

[marauder13]

"May I hug you, Master?"

"Of course, Celeste." Edward stepped forward to wrap his arms around the smaller woman, drawing her into an embrace. He felt her arms around him as she nestled into his body. He just held her as the tide washed over their feet as it climbed the beach and retreated again.

 

[YoungLisa]

Cat’s alarm went off and she woke instantly. The memories of the previous night came flooding back and she sat up. She made her way to the adjoining bathroom where she showered and prepared herself for the coming day. She could not get Aria out of her mind and she genuinely felt sorry for her.

She made her way down to the kitchen where the breakfast tray she had prepared the night before was waiting for her. She prepared the cereal as instructed and ensured the eggs were boiled for exactly two minutes 45 seconds. She took two slices of whole meal bread, cut off the crust and toasted it on level three for one minute twenty five seconds. Taking it out she buttered it and arranged it on the tray. By now the coffee was ready so she placed the pot on the tray together with Master’s breakfast cup, some whole crystal sugar and cream.

She took the lift to Master Jonathan’s floor and as it opened she looked for his room, found it and waited outside. Her watch alarm told her it was exactly hour she should wake Master. She knocked on the door, saw the ‘enter’ sign flash in front of her, opened the door and came in.

There in the bed were Master and Jade. She noticed a slight scent of feminine arousal in the air and there was a distinct smell of semen. She arranged the bed tray so it was near Jonathan and placed the breakfast on it. She made her way to the foot of the bed and waited to see if Master wanted her to feed him, or if he wanted her to prepare breakfast for Jade.

 

[princesssuzanne]

Celeste lay her head against his chest and sighed. He felt so warm and safe to her. "Master, I like it here. I really do. I'm not sure I want to leave. I just wish my kitty was here with me." She closed her eyes and just stood there in his embrace, feeling safe.

 

[marauder13]

Edward liked how Celeste just rested against him, and relaxed.

"Master, I like it here. I really do. I'm not sure I want to leave. I just wish my kitty was here with me."

"Celeste, you are more than welcome to stay as long as you like, just as you are able to leave when ever you choose. It makes me happy to know you like it here. I wont make any promises, but if it is possible, and when you show yourself worthy enough, then Winny will come and live with you. But right now, I can't make any promises.

"Shall we find somewhere cool to sit for a while? I feel a desire to kiss you some more, Celeste."

 

[princesssuzanne]

Celeste smiled, "Yes Master, lets choose somewhere to sit." She gave him a squeeze and then they released from the hug. She held his hand as they walked back up to the beach. They walked over to a tree and she sat down waiting for him to sit next her.

Cat’s alarm went off and she woke instantly. The memories of the previous night came flooding back and she sat up. She made her way to the adjoining bathroom where she showered and prepared herself for the coming day. She could not get Aria out of her mind and she genuinely felt sorry for her.

She made her way down to the kitchen where the breakfast tray she had prepared the night before was waiting for her. She prepared the cereal as instructed and ensured the eggs were boiled for exactly two minutes 45 seconds.

She arranged the bed tray so it was near Jonathan and placed the breakfast on it. She made her way to the foot of the bed and waited to see if Master wanted her to feed him, or if he wanted her to prepare breakfast for Jade.

Fresh coffee alerted him to his day, the unmistakable aroma bringing him to a wakened state. 'Clever' he thought. And surprising giving cat's recent proclivities he had thought she'd attempt to awaken him by a gentle shaking. But this was a pleasant surprise. "Your duties are served Kitten, and your Master is pleased. Have Donovan bring me the paper and some food for Jade. If you like you may don shoes today, as a reward for a clever wakening." His smile lit up his face and he reached fro a piece of toast. He rarely ate eggs twice a day it was bad for his cholesterol, and more and more his doctor was warning him of that. 45 was apparently prime heart attack country.

He rolled looking at the sleeping goddess he'd given a key to. "Jade wake sleeping beauty." His soft lips touched hers and he rolled out of the bed. "I have a pressing engagement today so I'll be showering alone. For now since you are so very new still I give you a day to collect yourself and your thoughts, and we will resume any questions you have at lunch. For now I need to speak with Aria and see where if anywhere we can go from here." He kept the key she had given back last night, and wrapped it around his fist. "For now until you learn the proper place of everything I will keep this as an interim. It was hasty of me to present you with such responsibility when you have come to learn. As much as I would like to make you the head of my hoe, you have another life you may well wish to pursue, and so i cannot in good conscience take that from you yet."

His shower was brief and chilling the cold water stripping him, more bare than his lack of clothes. His heart weighed heavy this day. Not merely with Aria's betrayal still so fresh, but with his repossession of the key from Jade. Why had he given it to her in the first place? Tears fell from his eyes under the cold water and he let it pelt him, he still hurt, and punishing her had done nothing to make it better. If anything He felt just as poorly about it. She had thought he was driving her away, and he had only wanted to bring her closer. How did hurting her accomplish any of that? When he left the shower and dressed his first steps took him to Aria's room. There he waited, now wondering where she had gone.

 

[marauder13]

Like Angel, when Celeste actually smiled, Edward found it to be radiant. He hoped to have her smiling like that more often.

"Yes Master, lets choose somewhere to sit."

The hug was ended with a slight squeeze, before they held hands and walked further along the beach, Celeste guide Edward to a tree before sitting down within it's shade. Edward sat down beside her, putting an arm around her and holding her close.

"I'm happy to see you relaxed, and adjusting to your life here. I can assure you that it will be a beneficial time for you. I am finding myself growing to like you. In time, who knows how that will turn out."

He reached out with his free hand, turning her face to look at his. "I appreciate that you are trying to trust me, and open up to me. I find you to be a very courageous young woman with more within her that you can see. I want to bring all that forth, and help you shine as the wonderful woman that you truly are."

He leaned down, and gave her another gentle kiss, this one a little longer then the previous. "I like the feel of your lips too, Celeste. Well worth the wait to feel them properly." Edward smiled as he felt himself started to relax with his beautiful slave.

 

[princesssuzanne]

Celeste smiled after he kissed her. "Master, when will our training start?" She had been curiously about that since she arrived. She was a little nervous about how she would do in training. She didn't want to fail her master.

 

[marauder13]

Celeste enjoyed the kiss, going by the radiant smile he received when it finished.

"Master, when will our training start?"

"They will commence tomorrow. More correctly, you will be assessed to what you know, and what you are capable of doing, and then you training schedule will be drawn up after that. Don't worry about how you score on the assessments. There is no passing grade, or failing. It is likely to take up the entire day, outside of meal times."

Edward sat back a little, recalling the last time this occurred. "Then you'll have a day where you will relax, then the following day you training and education will commence in earnest. Of course, that will be dependent on the results of your assessment."

Edward stared back out across the ocean. He watched the small surf washing the beach. The quiet, soothing noise that seemed to help keep troubled thoughts at bay.

"We have a couple of hours spare before lunch. Do you have any ideas of how we may entertain ourselves between now and then?"

 

[slippedhalo]

Aria awoke in an unfamiliar room. She was in the arm of Pearl, her Pearl was back!....Oh...suddenly she remembered the nigth before. Holding back a fresh onslaught of tears Aria instead leaned over the lovely companion sleeping beside her and kissed her gently, then deepened the kiss as she saw Pearl was stirring awake.

They kissed for a long time and finally when Aria broke free for breath she whispered, "Thank you for being so wonderful to me." Brushing a stray lock of hair from Pearl's face she said, "I need to thank Cat as well. Will you return with me to my room and help me pack a bag? I think I am soon no longer welcome in this house."

 

[DormantEvil]

Jade also smelt the aroma of strong coffee, but not until after Master Johnathon had spoken and kissed her on the lips softly. It was more the touch than the words that had raised her from the dreams that had been keeping her comforted through the night. It was of back at home, during her time at college. Her first boyfriend because of lack of social life due to over protective parents whilst she was in high school. The same feelings had been present last night, the nervous tension yet overwhelming sexual desires.

As he left the bed and showered, and eventually left to go and speak to Aria, Jade only said one thing as she shook the sleep from her eyes.

"Her grief and guilt shows the extent of her love, it's an inverse scale Master..." but he was gone before she really had a chance to finish. Oh well, it was not her place to say such things.

Moving out to her own room, where her hair brushes were, Jade started to make herself appear presentable. And accidentally caught herself deciding what outfit she should wear. It wasn't until she looked through one of the drawers of her room that she found a bundle of red ribbon. About an inch wide. Smiling, she played around with tying her hair up, and ended up having her hair plaited with the red ribbon throughout it, with about a meter of extra ribbon hanging down almost to the floor. There was another length of ribbon, an entire roll of about eight meters as well. So in a rather day dreaming mood after the high of last night, she tied it around her neck and then fed the two lengths down between her legs, and up her back to go through the back of the loop around her neck, and just started to feed the ends under her arms to start wrapping very sparsely down her chest and stomach. She made sure that her breasts were still uncovered, and the majority of her skin as well. Before tying the ribbon in a large bow in the base of her back. Spinning around she looked funny, but she had noticed that one of the girls at the picnic had worn bells.

But it was still a gamble. So she went and waited in the hallway but not directly out the front of Aria and Pearl's bedroom. To ask if it was appropriate, or if it was too much in the way of 'coverings'. She wasn't going to interrupt of hurry Master Johnathon though, and after a while decided to stand looking out a window instead.

 

[YoungLisa]

Cat smiled at Master’s compliments and nodded when she was told she would be allowed to wear shoes. She could not understand how or why Jade had been exalted to such a position but she was learning fast and knew that accepting Master’s will without question brought its rewards. And the reward she sought more than anything was that key. Not to lord it over Aria, but to be able to claim her for herself. A total reversal of roles, but one she would enjoy as would Aria in time.

Letting this fantasy run through her mind did not distract her from her duties. She found Donovan and passed on Master’s instructions then she made her way to the stores and chose a pair of shiny black stilettos in her size.

Making her way to Aria’s room she observed Master arriving just ahead of her. A look of curiosity on his face she observed him enter. He was obviously waiting for her there.

Returning to her room she was going to advise Aria of Master’s whereabouts. She arrived just in time to hear Aria say to Pearle. “Will you return with me to my room and help me pack a bag? I think I am soon no longer welcome in this house." And she heard Pearle reply "Mistress, what do you mean? Are we going on a trip? Are you going to Edward's now instead? I am not leaving you,"

This was not what she wanted to hear. Taking a deep breath she broke into the conversation “Mistress!” She used that title deliberately although it did not apply at present “Mistress, the Master is waiting for you in your room. Allow me to make you up; you will want to be at your best for him.” She smiled at Pearle. Somehow she would have to get her out of Aria’s immediate orbit. When she was mistress she wanted Aria all to herself. There was no way she would share her with that woman.

 

[slippedhalo]

Pearl's azure eyes fluttered open to the sounds of birdsong drifting into the room from outside the window. Turning, she saw that Aria was awakening as well. With a sweet kiss bestowed upon her lips by her beloved, her body jolted awake, the adrenaline from the soft touch of her tongue on hers sending her to the moon in back, even in such a simple gesture.

Kissing and holding her, it was broken off by Aria who needed breath and dropped a bombshell on Pearl. She thanked her, which was odd, and then said she thought she was no longer welcome in the house.

Pearl knitted her well-maintained dark brows together in consternation.

"Mistress, what do you mean? Are we going on a trip? Are you going to Edward's now instead? I am not leaving you," she said, holding on to her hand like a drowning man would cling to a life preserver. She would follow Aria into her room and begin packing, but she wanted to know what was being spoken of.

Aria turned to Pearl as she rose and started to prepare herself. They both collected some things from her room and then returned to Pearl's to talk. "I am thinking I must go to Master Edward and ask if he would take me on as Mistress of his house. However, if he says no, or also wants me to take a slave postion in his house as it appears Master Jonathon will have me do...well, I have worked too hard to get to where I had been. I won't go back to being a mere slave with no signiority again. If that it is the case I may...may go back to Indiana." Aria's eyes shone with sadness and unshed tears as she regarded her precious Pearl, "I would love for you to come with me to Edwards. I'm sure he'd make a place for you there. But, I wouldn't dream of asking you to give up this life for the mundane and stay with me in Indiana."

She could not understand how or why Jade had been exalted to such a position but she was learning fast and knew that accepting Master’s will without question brought its rewards.

(ooc: simultanious posts: The girls have packed a bag for Aria before Jonathon got to the room. They didn't cross paths with him. They are now in Pearl and Cat's room)


Aria thanked Cat for her help and suggested that Cat and Pearl both help her.

 

[slippedhalo]

Aria looked at her with such sad eyes, she almost cried. She helped her pack, but her heart was clearly sinking. She nodded when she mentioned going to Edward's.

She listened and all she could say to her was, "I love you, I would follow you to the ends of the earth, my Aria, my love, before you are my Mistress you are my love, whether that leads us to Indiana or Edward's.....I...I cannot live without you," she said, her hand reaching for the flame-scarlet hair.

Even if Cat was there, Pearl would not notice her, she was focused on only one thing. She would follow Aria, come what may.

Aria smiled and hugged Pearl close, "Thank you, Pearl. I love you too. Then, you will be mine wherever that leads? even in aweful Indiana?"

 

[slippedhalo]

"No matter where, and even if you aren't my Mistress...I can let that go even that for you," she said quietly, her heart breaking as she said that.

Pearl loved to serve, loved it more than anything else, but this woman, this goddess before her made her want nothing more than her for the rest of her life. The intensity of her feelings scared her, but it was starting to feel....right...natural.

Aria turned to Cat, "Look, I know you want to please the Master. I know it would behoove you to tell on us right away. Could you just give us a head-start before you tattletale, please? And Cat, thank you for being understanding and, well, kind last night. I will never forget it." she said, hugging Cat before taking Pearl by the hand and leading her to the terrace outside of the bathroom. "Let's be away before the shit hits the fan."

 

[slippedhalo]

Pearl nodded. "Please, let us get a head-start....I need to gather up the clothing I brought here and leave his gifts...." she said quietly, remembering the meagre bag of belongings that lie at the back of the closet of the room she had formerly had to herself, but due to his growing menagerie of women had been forced to share with Cat.

As Pearl packed and prepared to go Aria called Edward's house purposefully calling the staff phone. She couldn't handle the conversaion they needed to have over the telephone. "Yes, Cecily? Hello it's Mistres...It's Aria from Master Jonathon's house. Could you please inform the Master of your house myself and a guest will be walking the main road shortly and for him to be expecting us within the hour? A car? It's not necessary but would be apprecaited, yes thank you. No, not at the house, ont he road. Alright? Ok, thank you. Bye." She waited until Pearl was finished and they headed off together.

 

[chronicle_tenko]

Time passed and Johnathon could hardly bear being in Aria's room. Her betrayal still far too fresh. Where would she have gone however? Had he not forbidden her to leave? Again Lenience with her cost him. He should have left her there instead of letting her go, should have made her watch to the end, if it wouldn't have killed him and soured every bit of joy from the experience. Shakily he came to his feet and smoothed his hair back thinking of the better times, trying to avoid the thought of her lush lips so recently on Edwards shaft. Why? What had he done.

His few staggering steps brought him to her dresser where he noticed the few brushes he left her were gone. Ivory and pearl inlaid, with boar bristle tips. She would not leave them behind. His steps quickened as he left her room moving quickly. Fleur's? No she was the only occupant still ill, it seemed; With amber resting on her floor taking care of her. He rounded the corner, Cat was sharing Pearl's room though she had the most of it with Pearl gone. Jade was waiting there, wrapped like a sinful present, her coverings in exact accordance to the wishes of his home. But he couldn't bear to look. His voice however remained steady and strong. "You look divine and your exposure is adequate, amuse yourself in the gardens, take the servant exit through the other halls. I have important business I must discuss."

His steps quickened as jade left and he came to the door of Pearl's room, with care he calmed himself and opened the door. Aria stood there regal and imperious Pearl beside her. Cat was slightly off to the side, and by the packed parcels Obviously aria was planning to leave. The sight drove a blade into his heart, and he almost forgot the presence of the other two. Ice could have formed from his words. "I see that you haven't twisted the blade enough. Did I not command you not to run?" His head fell and with the restless night he had, he looked exhausted shower or not. "Cat, leave and attend to Donovan while I speak to Aria. Pearl. " His gaze focused upon her, confused a moment. "Why are you here? Did not I allow Edward use of your talents to organize his home?"
