Eternally yours

Luke thought Ella's reactions to his question were cute. Her look of surprise confused him for a short while until she started to speak. He realized that she was embarrassed as she muttered and stammered her way through talking to him.

“If I was to like any thing it would be to have you kiss me again.”

He just caught the softly spoken words, not sure that he was actually meant to hear it. But the look on her face made him believe that he was. He took a hesitant step forward wrapping his arms around her, drawing her close to his body. The heat from her felt like it could almost scald him. But that was soon forgotten as his lips found hers.

His mouth was cushioned on the soft moist flesh of her lips, his tongue more confidently exploring hers and seeking out her tongue. Luke relaxed as he held her and enjoyed the lengthy kissing of the woman that literally stepped into his life. He slowly separated their lips, a smile forming immediately as he looked at her.

"Would you like it if I kissed you here?" Soft kisses trailed over her cheek from her mouth to just below her ear. Just his lips and his breath caressed her skin as he moved across the side of her face.

"You might find this to be to your liking too." Luke kissed his way down her neck. He was tempted to bite as well, but decided to play it safe and just kiss her. He felt the beat of her pulse in her neck, gaining some excitement from the strength and speed of the beats.

"What about here?" Her slender shoulders felt the light brush of his lips as he explored that part of her body. He shivered slightly as he continued to kiss her shoulders, mainly from the feel of her breasts rubbing against his chest. He finished his initial round of kissing Ella, standing back slightly while he removed the last vestiges of her taste from his lips.

"So," the word was almost entirely breath, "what are you going to do, Ella?"
 
He gave her what she wanted something she was not used to. Never had she gotten anything she had wished for except Victor but that had not gone as she had thought it would. The way Luke kisses her the heat he trailed over her body was so tender, sweeter than any way Victor had. The way he held her body was not that of an object but her, not the body but the person she was.

Eyes closed as his body rubbed against hers as his lips did. Down her cheek, neck and shoulder, it set her body aflame and a flutter and she felt herself gasp as his body moved against hers, her nipples slowly becoming hard against his chest.

When Luke pulled back Ella slowly opened her eyes letting a breath slip from her lips, her skin still remembering the feel of his lips on it. She didn’t answer his question instead she stepped forward closing the gap between them her hand moving to his face she gently cupped his face and brought her lips to his. Her lips pressed against his with none of the caution she had before as if his kisses had brushed them all away. As she kissed him, parting her lips the slightest bit and tracing her tongue along his lips as her hands started to move down his face.

Her hands moved down and over his arms until they came to his hands. Pulling back as her fingers slipped between his she smiled at him softly and with his hands in hers, she led him towards the bed. When she reached the side of the bed she let go of his hands and climbed onto the bed. Kneeling in the middle of the bed she held out her hand to him, asking without words for him to join her.
 
Luke sighed softly as Ella's hands cupped his face, making him totally unprepared for the delightful kiss she gave him. Where her earlier kisses were cautious and careful, this one was confident and sure. He joined in immediately, seeming to know what she wanted as the kiss progressed. Again he savoured her taste and forgot about anything else but the feel of her sweet, soft lips on his.

She broke off the kiss, and he felt her hands in his, leading him gently but firmly to the bed. The only thought running through his mind was to taste more of her. He wanted to run his lips over the rest of her, and see if she was as wonderful to taste as her lips were.

Her hands left his as she climbed onto his bed. He simply watched her move. His eyes flickered all over her body, trying not to miss a single play of her muscles or the way her curves changed. He stared at her for just a moment when her arm beckoned him to join her. He swiftly joined her, kissing her deeply as he helped her lay on the bed.

He knelt above her as he reluctantly pulled his lips from hers, his breath hot and deep. He just looked deep into her eyes as he started his personal oral tour of Ella's naked form. From her lips, he revisited her neck, before venturing onto yet unexplored parts of her body. His lips, tongue and mouth paid respect to the wonders of her breasts between sighs of pleasure and deep breaths. Luke took are to watch how Ella reacted, and did what he thought was pleasing to her.

He continued kissing her body, progressing further towards his goal. He felt the soft skin against his lips, the heat coming from her as he delighted in her deliciousness.

His lips and teeth found the softness of her inner thighs. Sighed moans of pleasure vibrated against her legs as he worked towards the apex. With a single, long inhale of breath, he lowered himself to her awaiting sex, letting his tongue explore her most precious of treasures in a thorough and loving manner.
 
Ella almost laughed at how eagerly Luke seemed to be when he quickly climbed onto the bed. But his lips cut her off as he kissed her deeply and also she didn’t think it would be a good idea to laugh at him as he lowered her back onto the bed. She didn’t know what had come over her, he had not ordered her to climb onto the bed nor had he told her to lead him to the bed it self. She had done these things with no thought of the punishment she might receive for not waiting for her instruction all she knew was that she wanted more of the was Luke kissed and touched her.

Any way Luke didn’t seem displeased with her actions in fact he seemed quite the opposite as he kneeled above her looking down at her as she lay there her chest raising and falling with every breath she took. Then his lips moved over her body and Ella closed her eyes as his mouth travelled her body. Neck, breasts, stomach, every where his lips tongue and mouth touched was left tingling.

Ella gasped ever so softly as she felt Luks’s teeth brush against her inner thigh and she was almost trembling with anticipation as he moved up. Then the wait was over and she sighed as she felt his tongue exploring her womanhood. Bringing moans from her lips, as he touched and licked the right spots sending small tremors through her body. The way Luke pleasured her, for pleasure sake, Ella had never experienced before. Victor had very rarely tried to pleasure her unless he was getting pleasure from it as well and the other times had been to show her how he could so easily control her by so easily causing her pleasure, as if offering a child a sweet and then taking it away.

Thoughts of Victor where washed away from her mind as Luke continued, he was long gone. Now there was only Ella and Luke. “Sir,” Ella moaned her eyes closed.
 
Luke continued to lavish attention on Ella's sex with his tongue. While he focused on the upper point of her most private of places, he slowly slipped a finger into her warmer confines. All he bothered doing was letting the single digit slide in and out of her as he continued his oral focus of her other pleasure point.

He was caught slightly off guard by hearing her moan, “Sir.” He paused to look up at Ella in case something was wrong. He was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong, but Ella was enjoying what was happening. The sight of how her breathing was changing the look of her body. He was captivated by her natural beauty, which was enhanced by the light touch of sweat that was forming on her. He felt an ache low in his body that he hadn't felt in a long time, and instinct made him act on it without thinking.

The removed his finger from her, and started to kiss his way back to her face. every kiss was full of passion along with a bathing in in hot breath. Luke enjoyed the taste of her when he kissed his way down her body, but the taste was even better, more luscious this time round. His body slid over hers, rejoicing in the heat that he felt from her body as it was pressed against his. Her incredibly soft skin seemed to easily slide under him as he started to press her against the bed.

He finally reached her lips again, claiming them in a kiss that he had never given any other woman before. He was so caught up in the kiss, and the feel of her tongue touching his, that he just continued with his claiming of her. He slowly pressed his manhood against her, easily finding the gateway to her personal heaven. Without thinking, he continued to fill her as his kisses became more passionate. He teased her and enticed her to join in the oral rejoicing of how he felt about her. He kissed her, lightly nipped her lips before finally releasing a groan of pleasure that marked the end of his initial thrust.

He raised his head enough to look clearly at Ella's face. He was breathing hard, his body quivering with the desire to continue loving Ella. He started to move, loving her with his body. He was amazed at the feelings being created by his being with Ella. He stopped thinking about what was happening, and just allowed the feelings wash over him.
 
Ella felt him pause and opened her eyes slightly look down over her trembling body at him from under her lashes. When he removed his finger and started to kiss up her body, she watched every kiss. Her lips eagerly met his when he finally claimed her lips. His tongue brushed against hers and then she felt his member pressing against her entrance. She froze expecting as she had always done the sudden thrust that would make her cry out in pain at the intrusion. But it never came instead he moved slowly into her making her moan softly.

Opening her eyes slightly she looked at Luke and the corner of her mouth turned up and she closed her eyes and returned his kiss, her tongue dancing with his. For a moment there she had forgotten who she was with. Her smile grew as he nipped at her lips her moan echoed his as she felt him come to a stop inside her. He filled her perfectly and she opened her eyes, looking up at him from under her lashes, when he listed his head.

Then he was moving inside her, making her breath catch. He felt so good inside her and she moved her legs so that they wrapped around his slightly, making sure she didn’t impede his movements. This was completely different from what she had ever experienced but she didn’t question it, she just let the feelings of what Luke was doing to her. Raising her hand up she hesitantly reached up and stroked his cheek as she looked up at him. “Thank you Luke,” she whispered to him and then slipping her hand behind his head and pulled it down claiming his lips. Her tongue teased at his lips and then slipped between his lips and met and played with his.
 
Luke felt he was merely a passenger, a spectator of the union of himself and Ella. Soft moist walls encased his shaft as he brought Ella joy. His steady actions seemed to flow, never really stopping or even pausing as he continued to fill and partially empty Ella's sacred place.

The warm brush of her hand against his cheek was a tactile blessing from the woman laying beneath him. He allowed his eyes to be drawn to hers, seeking out the obsidian pools at their centre, gazing deeply into her soul.

“Thank you Luke.” Her hand moved behind his neck, and he knew what was going to follow. He didn't resist her firmly expressed desire to kiss. The warmth of her lips emboldened Luke, pressing his side of the kiss firmer once her tongue had finished with them. He joined the cavorting play of her tongue, chasing it and teasing it throughout the long passionate exchange.

A steady all over tension was building within him with every stroke, with every kiss adding to the gradual increase. When he was not kissing her, he looked down on her face, crown by a halo of her rich brown hair. She was the most beautiful woman he had every seen. She was also giving him feelings of such depth and power that he feared that he would be swept away by them.

The tension increased his body's pace of movement, which drove the tension higher into a rapidly spiral that continued to feed itself until Luke thought his heart was going to explode. The confusion took control of his face, as he neared a peak he had never thought was possible.

"Ella... I... " He lunged for her, taking her in a kiss that made many demands of her as his body finally exalted deep with her. Through the kiss he groaned loudly as his body was rocked by the release of the tensions built up within him. Waves of pure ecstasy washed over him as he left more and more of his warm fluids within Ella. He pressed his body strongly against her seeking to maintain as much contact with her as he possible could.

With the passing of his climax, Luke's kisses became more tender and less rough.

"Oh... my... Lord... I have never... never felt that... before." A large grin appeared on his face. "I have you to thank for that, Ella." He gave her another tender kiss. "I'm not sure about you, but I think I will like this... agreement we seemed to have reached." With one more parting kiss, he moved off Ella, and laid down beside her, openly enjoying the view.
 
Every thing made Ella feel like they somewhere else, that there was no time difference between the world she had come from and the world he lives in. The way he looked at her when they weren’t kissing it was as if none of that was real or mattered any more.

With every stroke of his member inside her, with every kiss, her body seemed to become more aware more sensitive making her moans of pleasure grow louder with every movement. The longer they made love like this the more intense the feelings coursing through her became. Until she was near to reaching the point, were she wouldn’t be able to take any more.

Then Luke brought her to that point when spoke her name and he seemed to lunge at her taking her by surprise demanding her release, demanding her to give in and she willingly gave in. Moaning against his lips as her body was consumed with pleasure, will he filled her with his own release. Wrapping her arms around him as he pressed against her, holding him as tightly she could.

Panting softly as his kisses became softer and then stopped, she smiled at him. Turning so that she could look at him as he lay beside her, “It is I who should thank you, never did I know that it could be like that. That to bring pleasure to another could be rewarded by pleasure instead of pain. Thank you.” Looking at Luke she thought about what he had said, “As for our agreement I think this agreement will be good for both of us.”
 
Luke lazed in the afterglow of his time with Ella. He kept his eyes looked on her face, taking in all of her features, and taking in those aspects he hoped were induced by their intimacy.

“It is I who should thank you, never did I know that it could be like that. That to bring pleasure to another could be rewarded by pleasure instead of pain. Thank you. As for our agreement I think this agreement will be good for both of us.”

Luke was a little surprised at the comment that Ella never really enjoyed sex with Victor. But then he remembered all that he read of the man, including Victor's own journals. He was a cold man at times, though the woman he married eventually softened him a bit. But hearing that he brought her pleasure made him feel warm inside.

While he was far from being a virgin, and he had what he felt to be sufficient experience, what he just had was in a league of it's own compared to the rest. He briefly surrendered the magnificent view of Ella's naked body as his eyes closed. While that happened, he just relived the feelings he experienced, not even thinking of the how the actual physical act was.

He let out a slow breath as his eyes opened once more to feast upon the loveliness before him. He could sense the difference to her, the mysterious air derived from her actual lifetime so many centuries before. Her manners, the way she held herself, her shape, her naturalness... all of it seemed to add something to her that made her different. Delightfully different.

One of his hands lazily rested on her head, softly massaging her scalp. He felt the contact was soothing him, and he hoped it was good for her too. His thoughts returned to the agreement, how she would fill a role for him that was similar to the one for Victor while she learned more about this time. He was tempted by the fact that he could call on her to please him at any time, and she would. That she enjoyed it made it easier to entice her to fill that 'duty'. But again, he would temper that behaviour, so he didn't become like his forebear.

With the thought of educating her, the wealth of problems returned a new. One that he totally overlooked was birth control. Which also reminded him of Ella's overall health, and any diseases she might have, or be prone too. The massaging of Ella's scalp suffered a little as his mind raced through various scenarios relating to Ella's health. With health care, came record keeping and the identity trail associated with it. But he was in a small community, and he wouldn't need to give over too many details to the local doctor for just a standard checkup. Having made up his mind, he returned his attention to Ella.

"As you have seen, Ella, a lot has changed since your time. But... some things haven't really changed that much either. Tomorrow, I think we'll try and mix the two a little more evenly. And I think that the best place to do that will be in the kitchen. That is one place where a lot of changes have been made while others have not changed at all.

"You do know, Ella, you can jump in at any time and ask questions. I'm sure that there are many more just waiting to come out. Also, I'd like to find out a little more about you. All I know of you is from Victor's journals, and even those are somewhat sparse. There is some much to know about you, Ella. I'm not in any great rush to learn, but I think that it would be nice to learn a little more about you. If you don't mind of course."

Luke continued the massage, moving to include her forehead and cheeks as his fingertips continued their graceful gliding over Ella's lightly dampened skin.
 
Ella laid there taking in Luke as he seemed to slip into his own thoughts. As she watches him she too slipped into her own thought, would this be what it would always be like with Luke? Maybe in this world she had a chance to live as a proper woman and not a girl slave confined to a large house and taken out and shown off like a piece of art.

At the sound of Luke letting out a slow breath she refocused on him with a smile on her lips. When he moved his hand to her head and slowly started to massage her head she closed her eyes as her body and mind seemed to relax under his touch. Laying there she enjoyed his touch and her mind drifted. Thinking of what they had just done and the pleasure it had brought her and then back further to when she had been a child running the fields and orchards of her families’ farms.

Victor’s face appeared in her mind and she wondered if he would have realized what would become of her when he cast the spell on her turning her into a statue. Or had he simply expected her to crumble with the house. It disturbed her slightly this line of thinking and she thought that she would ask Luke if he knew what his ancestor had intended for her when had turned her to marble. He seemed to know quite a bit about Victor, he knew of the mark she bore and that Victor had married, which she hadn’t known about, Victor get married that was.

Luke’s hand seemed to faultier on her head and she opened her eyes to look at him. Slowly she nodded as he spoke. Then he asked her if she had any questions she nodded again. Oh she had so many questions yet she didn’t know where to begin. Luke had mentioned Victor’s journals and she remembered them, she had remembered serving him his lunch in his study as he had wrote in them she had never been brave enough to have a look in them in fear of punishment.

“You say you have Victor’s journals, what do they say of me? Do they say why Victor did what he did? Or what he expected to happen to me as a statue?”
 
“You say you have Victor’s journals, what do they say of me? Do they say why Victor did what he did? Or what he expected to happen to me as a statue?”

Luke's massaging paused for a moment or two while he thought of how to answer that question. He let out a sigh as his fingers began to move again.

"Ella, the few references he made to you were more along the lines of a possession. He mentioned how proud he was that he had you, and how it made a few people jealous that you were his. There was no mention of the enchantment, or anything relating to it. But he did make one reference to missing you. It was about 25 years after the last know appearance of you to outsiders. Again. nothing mentioned as to where you were, or what had happened."

Luke continued to caress Ella, trying not to let his train of thought derail what he was doing for the woman beside him. He understood her desire to know more about what happened and why, but there was little for him to work with.

"What I might do is go back through his journals again. The first time I went through, I was focused on other material which he clearly marked. So there are parts that I have not read. Believe me, he wrote a lot of stuff down on all matter of subjects. Maybe buried in there somewhere else is a clue as to what he intended. I'm sorry I can't be more help."

He leant forward a little, placing a soft kiss on her forehead. He returned to look into her eyes, captivated by the delightful shade of blue.

"Well, given the nature of our new agreement, I would like you to stay with me... in this bed, tonight... when we finally get to go to sleep. Assuming that we both actually retire to here before going to sleep. If we... umm... do something like this again before we sleep.

"I mean, I don't see myself kicking you out of bed after we've been... close like this. So if we are together in bed like we are now, you are more than welcome to remain here. I don't mind either way. Well, I do prefer you to stay, but..."

'Smooth, Luke, very smooth...'
 
Ella felt a pause in Luke’s movements and guessed what his answer would be and he reinforced it with his sigh. As he answered her question she was not surprised by the way Victor had thought of her. But it surprised her when Luke said that he had mentioned he had missed her. Ella didn’t know what to make of that, had he missed her because he had cared or simply because he missed her serving him.

Laying there she thought on this as Luke continued to caress her. His touch soothing her as she thought and questioned which only seemed to lead her round and round in circles coming back to the same questions. At the mention that there might be more in Victor’s journals Ella looked hopefully at Luke. At Luke’s apology Ella shook her head and said softly that he had helped her already.

Smiling brightly at him after he kissed her forehead and she listened to Luke as he stammered through what he was saying, her cheeks going red as she fought back a giggle that was threatening to slip from her lips. When he stop speaking she leaned towards him and hesitantly kissed him gently on the lips, she had been planning on making it a quick kiss but instead her lips lingered on his a little longer than she had planned before pulling back and smiling shyly at him.

“I would like that,” she replied softly before moving her body close to his and kissing him again. One of her hands moved hesitantly against his chest stroking it. Luke had been very good to her after her surprise awakening and she made herself a promise that she would thank him somehow. Looking deep into his eyes she let herself swim in them before she closed her own deepening the kiss. Moving slowly she positioned her body over him, her legs tucking against either side of his. Pulling back slightly so looked at him as her hair rained down around her face.
 
Luke almost melted when Ella kissed him again. He thought it was going to be a brief touch of lips. It lingered longer than a mere brushing, but not long enough to be truly savoured. Luke felt slightly disappointed and robbed. He chuckled to himself mentally over his greed for the taste of her lips. But the smile he was greeted with afterward warmed him deeply.

Luke couldn't remember what Ella said afterward. The press of her body against his caused mayhem with his ability to think clearly. Another kiss from her calmed his rapidly beating heart enough to stave off something severe from occurring. To his surprise, he watched Ella move over him, more or less pinning him to the bed. The soft press of her legs on his sides caused his body to react. His mind tried to decide whether the body had the right idea or not.

But it was the lovely face, curtained by her rich brown locks that made him decide on what he would do. He lifted his head, placing a teasingly light kiss on her lips as his hands caressed her flanks. His next kiss was tender, soft and loving in the way his lips met hers. His hands settled on her hips, softly massaging the flesh there. The third time he kissed her in their private domain he held nothing back. He let his passion for her, the passion she had awakened in him, flow through the kiss. He felt himself being carried away by the flood of emotion within him. But he used Ella as his anchor, securing him against the potential of being lost.

His hands slowly guided her down onto him. He moaned through the kiss as he felt her slowly enveloping him under his guidance. More so that time, he felt that is was perfectly natural for them to be together. Luke continued to hold Ella, guide her as he slowly filled her. When he finally completed his penetration, his hands moved to caress her back.

"Ella," he spoke softly, "take whatever joy you wish. Show me more of what you would like."
 
The teasing tantalizing kiss Luke gave her told her that he wasn’t angry that she had made a move instead of waiting for him to tell her what to do. If the kiss didn’t then the way his hands moved over her flanks giving her permission to be where she was. Luke second kiss was less teasing and more tender than the first, promising so much yet it felt like it was still holding back something, to which she closed her eyes taking it in and letting it fill her.

Luke’s third kiss kept nothing back and gave every thing in which she returned in equal amounts. The way she felt for Luke seemed to take on a life of it’s own, leaveing her wanting to take more and be given more than she had ever dreamed of. His hands coaxed and led her body to were she knew she wanted to be, to be joined in away other than that of simply holding each other. Her moans mixing with his, as he joined with her once again. When his hands moved she knew he was completely inside her.

” take whatever joy you wish. Show me more of what you would like” His words made her think, made her truly think of what she wanted. She wanted the pleasure again of giving him pleasure and receiving it back in equal amounts. Pulling back she looked down at him her hair half cover her face and she smiled as him. Placing the palms of her hands gently on his chest she slowly started to rock her hips up and down, causing his shaft to slide in and out of her. “I want to give you pleasure in gratitude for what you have given and shown me. For freeing me from more than my prison,” she whispered as she continued her slow and fluid movements.

Her hands on his chest felt almost weightless as she propped herself up more. They were still enclosed in the right brown curtain of her hair, giving Luke the impression that they were completely alone. He was caught up gazing at her face, basking in the expression that seemed to shine down on him, that when she moved it was a surprise.

The gentle rocking of her hips was joined by him. He rocked his away from hers as she pulled her hips away, and back towards hers as she did. He matched her slow pace, but it magnified the feelings more so.

“I want to give you pleasure in gratitude for what you have given and shown me. For freeing me from more than my prison.”

He wanted to answer her, to tell her that there was so much more for him to show her and the thanks could wait. But that required more thought than he was capable of. Plus, he didn't want to ruin the moment for her. Still, the slow movement was building up a pressure within him that he didn't think was possible. A more passionate coupling he expected to cause the rapid building up low in his body, but this time was different. He continued to follow her lead, to give her the experience that she was desiring. He was getting lost in a slow forming pool of bliss that he was prepared to sink into. He was willing to drown in the calm depths of what was washing over him. It was then that the build up within him changed. It was still happening, but the urgency was gone. It continued to grow, bidding its time before being released.

His hands roamed the gentle arch of her back, tracing either side of her spine with a delicate touch. He traced the muscles that peaked and subsided with her movements. He forgot everything else but what he needed to do to bring Ella to that place of bliss she had been denied for so long.

His hands curled around her shoulders, guiding her down to his awaiting lips. He kissed her slowly and deeply, partaking in every taste and touch available to him, still complimenting her pace. He moaned. His tongue touched her lips and teeth. It danced with hers. He guided their kiss. He enjoyed it for what it was.

He stiffened slightly, his eyes opened as the dam burst deep within him. The slow gentle flood washed over him as he reached his peak. His eyes fluttered closed. Tensions faded. His heart rate slowed as he relaxed beneath Ella's lovely form. His mind was carried away on the current of the bliss that ebbed about him. She was perfect for him; perfect to him.

As his mind returned, he wondered how it was that she attracted him so strongly. Was there something about her that attracted him like it have attracted Victor? Was there some connection that Victor's arcane powers left on Ella that resonated with him? His eyes opened to gaze of her lovely face, and all those questions and more vanished. A slow smile formed on his face before he kissed the tip of her nose.
 
Their hands had explored each other and their bodies had moved together. Bringing her once again to the place within herself that filled her with overwhelming pleasure. Looking into his eyes as she lay above him a small smile echoing his slipping into place on her own lips and it turned sweeter as he kissed her nose. Before she slipped from him and moved so that she was laying beside him, laying beside him cuddled into his side.

She lay with him simply allowing the feelings brought to her by their joining to wash through her. But as the good feeling slowly started to fade the real world started to return, she had almost forgotten who she was, what her place was. The way Luke had treated her was not that of an agreement but that of an equal. The way he had made her feel in both body and soul was that of someone special, someone needed and cared for. But could she be that special one to him, she didn't know if it was possible.

These thoughts made Ella's head spin as she went from feeling like she was a rich lady and then back down to what she was and had always been, a servant. She could not stay in his arms any longer, it was not right. Always she had been sent to her own room when Victor was done with her, this was what drew her from Luke's arms and out of his bed. Turning she curtsied to him, falling into habit that had been her life. "I will leave you now Sir and return to my room," she said softly turning and headed for the door only stopping to retrieve her new clothes.

Slipping out of his room she quickly headed to her own room. Somewhere familiar yet not, her place but different. Even as she entered the room she looked around once more expecting to see her room as it had been before she had been made a statue. But everything was different not only her room but everything. The things that had happened with Luke the world he lived in was different. It was so much for her to take in, she didn't know what to do. All she had was habit and training which she once again fell into, folding her clothes before she headed to the bed that was hers but not hers.

Though she thought sleep would elude her, it did not take long for it to claim her. Pulling her into dreams of Victor, of her standing before him asking him why he had done what he had done to her. Yet he ignored her questions and her pleas all he said was, "You are mine my beautiful Ella. You will always be mine and no one else's."
 
Luke enjoyed Ella's proximity, the feel of her warm body beside his. He was slowly regaining some composure after the lovemaking they had. Doing this way was definitely a good way. His mind drifted to imagining what Ella would look like when he woke beside her in the morning. How would her sleep tousled hair frame her face. How they would be entwined in the sheets. All of those thoughts made him feel calm, relaxed and slightly excited.

But those thoughts were shattered as Ella quickly moved from the bed. She curtsied to him. Luke half sat up to ask her what was wrong.

"I will leave you now Sir and return to my room."

He froze, watching her take up her clothes and go to her room. He stared blankly at the door, finally blinking twice before dropping down onto the bed. He gazed at the ceiling, his thoughts almost non existent. He stared at the door again, on the off chance that Ella would return, having changed her mind or playing some form of prank on him.

"What... what just happened there?" He whispered to himself. "Didn't we just have some great sex, and she just ups and leaves? Wasn't it good enough for her?" He rubbed his face with both hands and sighed. "Luke, you're an idiot. Ella's from a different time and place. She's probably doing things out of habit. Hell, she even called me Sir." His breathing slowed, as a new line of thinking came to the fore. "Our agreement. She would fill the kind of place for me that she did for Victor while she learned to live here and now. Did that bastard kick her out of bed after they... Crap. OK, Luke, calm down. If she is living the only way she knows how, well, I will have to work with that while she learns to deal with modern technology and culture. Yeah. Treat Ella like a servant, mostly, if that's how she'll feel comfortable."

Luke let the thoughts continue to roll around his mind as he drifted off to sleep. As he slept, he dreamt of Ella as a servant, dressed in one of the saucy french maid outfits, doing all the things he requested of her. He felt so powerful as she did everything possible to please him, even when he called her to kneel before him and please him with her mouth. He moaned pleasantly in his sleep as his imagination painted other scenarios where Ella followed his requests, much to their mutual delight.

When he woke, he felt somewhat aroused by the dreams, which he only remembered snipits of. He stretched, and went to have a shower before heading down stairs to get some breakfast. He walked past Ella's bedroom, almost turning to go and wake her up.

"Nah. She'd probably got up with the sun, and if not, then she deserves the rest." He smiled at the memories of their shared time the night before. He walked down the stairs, thinking of what he would teach her today. He was almost at the kitchen door when another thought struck.

"Doctor! I need to get Ella to see a doctor. I need to make sure that she is healthy, and ahhh.. safe."

Luke made his way into the kitchen, prepared to fend for himself as he always had done in the past.
 
The sun woke her as it rose and shined through the window, slowly sitting up her first thoughts were to her tasks. She needed to get up and see to the cooks in the kitchens to make sure they were up and making Victor's breakfast and then she would have to make sure that the servants had seen to the clothes that he was going to wear today. He had to go to the court today to have talks with some of the other Lords.

With this in mind Ella rose and went to dress for the day, it was as she went for her clothes that she realized something wasn't right. Finally as she looked at the room around her she started to remember where she was and what had happened to her. Sinking back onto the bed she sat there for a couple of moments as she relived what she had been through yesterday. There were no servants in the house and Victor wasn't in the room a few doors down. It was Luke. Luke who had shown her the pleasure of love.

Shaking herself she rose to her feet, it might not be Victor in the room up the hall yet she still had work to do. If she was to keep to the agreement that she had with Luke then she needed to organize his breakfast. Dressing in a long skirt and a top that Luke had bought for her yesterday. Finding a comb she runs it through her hair making it look tidy.

Then she heads down stairs heading for the kitchen. Once there she looks around remembering what he had shown her and exploring the other cupboards and such. If she was to stay with Luke she would need to learn quickly and something's on her own. Ella didn't want to have Luke thinking she was dull witted, unable to learn and adapt to his world.

When Luke walked into the kitchen Ella turned from standing over the kettle as it boiled, she had set up everything like Luke had shown her yesterday. She had even found a loaf of bread which seemed to have been perfectly sliced as if by magic, also she had found eggs in the large metal pantry the let out cool air when she had opened it. To Ella's fascination it had its own little sun that lit the inside up. She had collected the eggs and loaf and had placed them on the bench but had done nothing with them unsure of what Luke liked for breakfast.

"Good Morning Sir," she said with a smile. Looking at him she remember what they had done the night before and it made her smile as she remember the way his body had moved against and inside of hers. She remembered the look of him naked and the taste of his kiss. These thoughts made her cheeks flush slightly. "How was your sleep Sir?"
 
Luke paused for a moment, a little surprised to see how well she has progressed in her first foray into the kitchen. While she managed to remember how to use the kettle, she appeared to be at a loss as to what to do next. She had eggs and bread out, but that was all.

"Good Morning Sir."

He liked her smile. She looked so radiant when she smiled. But he could tell that it was not something that did too frequently. But she would hopefully get used to smiling again. He then caught the blush.

'I wonder what she is thinking...'

"How was your sleep Sir?"

"My sleep was well, thank you. How was yours?" He moved over to where she stood, pausing to giver her a soft kiss on the cheek. "Though I would have slept much better if you had remained with me." He went to prepare the teapot, putting tea in and reheating the water.

"Next, I think I'll show you how to use the toaster. It's easy to use, very useful, particularly this morning." He pulled it out from under the counter, plugging it in and switching on the power. He made sure that Ella could see everything he did. He paused to pour the water into the teapot, then went to fetch the bread.

"Ahh... pre sliced bread. Lots of people like it like this, but you still can get bread that you can cut yourself if that is a preference. But anyway, we take out two slices, and place them into the slots up here... like this. Then, as long as we make sure that this is set to the number three. After that, we push this down, which starts the bread cooking."

Luke looked back at Ella. He looked at her as a man does look at his sexual partner. He was thinking of when he would have sex with her again, in keeping with the spirit of the agreement. He suspected that she would be agreeable to whenever he asked next, given the way she responded to his desired course of events. But, at the same time, he didn't want to become like Victor was.

"This... this is going to sound strange to you, Ella, but I want you to trust me. I will be taking you to a doctor soon. Things have changed a lot since you... umm... went away and returned. Some of the illnesses that ravaged your time are gone, and others are about that you might not be able to stop. Without help. But the main one is making sure that you don't get pregnant before you're ready. There is too much we need to get done before we can even think of you having any children."

Luke stopped and thought through the implications of what he said. His face went bright red.

"What I mean is... ahhh... damn. I don't know if you want children at all. I'm ok if you do, it's just... shit. That's not what I meant. I wanted to say -"

The toaster popped, presenting two pieces of nicely browned toast. Luke completely forgot about showing Ella what to do, and focused on getting the toast onto plates, two more pieces of bread in the toaster, and getting out butter, jams and honey to put on the toast. All of those were put on the central counter where Luke quickly dropped down onto a stool.

"What... I was trying to say is that for you to fit into the world, we need to get a lot of other work done. Plus, I don't know how we will be in a few months time. You may have found someone else that you like more, and... Plus, I don't want you to find yourself in a place where you are more or less stuck again.

"It's partially my fault for you being here, so it's my responsibility to see you get the best start you can. And that is what I am going to do."

He pushed one of the plates closer to Ella. "Please, sit with me and have breakfast. While you may feel like you are serving me like Victor, you will gain other benefits that Victor didn't give. Like eating with me."
 
Ella's flush grew brighter as he kissed her on the cheek and then made the remark about sleeping better if she had been there. Would he really have? Maybe instead of leaving his bed when they were done she could stay. Ella needed to think on this.

Watching what Luke did she memorized everything so she could do this for him tomorrow morning. Standing close to him watching and stepping out of his way when he moved. Amazed when he put the already sliced bread into the thing he had pulled from the cupboard. How could this thing cook the bread, was there a little fire inside, she wondered as she moved closer to it and was going to look inside when Luke spoke to her.

Listening she smiled at him, she trusted him. All the time she had been with him other than their first meeting he had shown her nothing but kindness and respect. Then she tilted her head when he mentioned children, she had always wanted children but never in the entire time she had been with Victor had she been able to be seeded with his child. Ella didn't know if it was something Victor had done to make it so or with she was just unable to bare child.

Snapping out of her thoughts as she noticed Luke's face turn red. A small laugh slipped from her lips as she stumbled over his words and then snapped a hand over her mouth at the thought of laughing at her master. Suddenly the thing he had put the bread in made a noise that made Ella jump. Using the time to calm herself as Luke set up grabbing what now looked like cooked bread from the thing.

Listening once again as Luke spoke she took in his words and then when he pushed the plate towards her she opened her mouth to refuse and say that he should eat before her as it was his place but the look on his face made her stop and she a shy smile she moved to a stool and sat next to him.

Yet she didn't start eating just yet. "Sir can I say that I do trust you and have no reason to not trust you. If you think it is for the best that I see this doctor person then I will go. If you wish for him to make it so I cannot bare child then that to I will trust your judgment." Then she looked down at the bread and saw that it really was cooked. Amazing she thought but didn't dwell on it turning back to what Luke had said.

"It is not your fault that I am here, Victor was the one who did this to me. You freed me, so no matter what I will never feel I am stuck again. If you feel you do not want me here any longer then I will leave, all you have to his say Sir," she said this looking at the plate in front of her but then lifted her head to face him. "I am your servant Sir and I am here to stay for as long as you want me as such," she says looking into his eyes.
 
Luke felt lost when Ella finished speaking. He felt a little inner glow that she trusted him, which was a challenging thing to do given how they came together in the first place. He found it a little distressing at how easily she accepted his talk of her seeing the doctor about birth control. This degree of consent was something he was having trouble adjusting to. But it was making Ella feel more comfortable, so he would at the very least appear to be ok with it.

But regardless of what she said, he still remained feeling responsible for her in the modern world, because he released her. He wanted to make sure that she survived, and fitted in as well as possible. He had all sorts of fears that she would wind up a prostitute working for some sleaze that took care of them enough so they were still able to be used by clients who just needed the fuck.

The toaster popped again, giving Luke something to focus on and break his mood. He shared the pieces with Ella, and started to prepare his for eating. He poured honey over both, spreading the golden liquid over bread evenly. He took a bite, using the time to get his thoughts in order.

"Ella, the main plan of mine is to help you learn about the world as it is now, so you can live in it better. Apart from that, you are free to do as you wish. If there is something that you want to know about, or to do, then I will help you achieve that. But I am not going to kick you out or make you do something that you don't like.

"I will admit that you serving me like you did Victor makes me uncomfortable at times. It is very tempting to just order you around, particularly when it comes to," there was a pause while Luke blushed again, "well, ahhh... sex. I really enjoyed our time together, Ella. I am really looking forward to being with you again. But I don't want to order you to have sex with me. I want you to have sex with me because you like it."

Luke turned his attention back to the toast. It all came back to that. The sex. Their first time was wonderful, but he felt like he forced her into it. She could have said no, and he would have respected that decision. But he also knew of her background, and that it was possible that she may not have felt that she could have said no. Just thinking about it made him want to take her again. To expose her nether regions and enjoy the warmth, the slickness and everything else associated with her. Right there, in the kitchen. He groaned softly as he chewed his toast.

"Ummm... OK. Of all the tasks you did for Victor, which one did you do the most? We might start with that one next, as I think it might be something that you might be doing frequently here too."
 
Ella jumped once more when the thing Luke has called a toaster popped again, she didn’t think she would ever get used to something that suddenly spits out bread, without warning.**Watching as she poured as he poured the container that was labeled honey over his toast, then when he finished with it she copied him and smiled as she tasted the sweet sticky spread.**She had always loved honey, her parent had hives and her and her sisters had helped them collect it when it was time.*

Brought out of her memories of her family home, she looked up at Luke.**She was relieved that he was not going to ask her to leave, though she did feel a little like a burden to him, that he had to teach her all about the modern world.**Yet her mind raced when he said that other than when he was teaching her she could do as she wished.**What could she do? She wondered to herself.**She was sure there had been things that she had yearned to do, but Victor had refused to allow her to do them for some reason of another.

Those thoughts could be left to later she decided as Luke continued to talk.**She looked at him puzzled when he says it makes him uncomfortable her serving him.**When he pauses she smiled as she saw the blush she was coming to like cover his cheeks.**Slowly she nodded her head in understanding, “Yes Sir.”**Ella didn’t think she would refuse him sex, not only because she was his servant but because she had enjoyed the way he had made him feel and the pleasure they both had shared.**Her own cheeks flushed red as she though back to their time together.
*
Just thinking of it made her want to ask him if he could hold her as he had yesterday, if he could kiss her, touch her….. She shook her head slightly, clearing those thoughts.**Even though she had acted without an order last night, she did not think she was that confidant to ask him for those things, she didn’t know if she ever would be.**Though she might not be able to ask for those things, there was one thing that had come to mind that she would like to ask him.**Her thoughts about her home made her wonder if he would allow her to explore the land around the manor.**Something Victor had banned her from doing unless he was accompanying her.*She might ask him that later.*

“Sir, other than seeing to his needs, I run the manor in a way.*Making sure that ever thing was running right with in the manor and that the servants did what they were told” she went silent for a second, remembering Master Victor returning from court full of anger and scaring one of the maids.**So much that she spilled the tray she was carrying, which only made him angrier.**He had started to beat her, but Ella had begged him to stop because she hadn’t meant it, that was when he had turned on her.**A frown slipped over her lips as she sighed, then her eyes focusing again on Luke and a smile returning to her face.*

“I can cook…… could cook” she adds looking at the kitchen.*“Though the cook did most of the cooking she taught me when she had time.”
 
Apart from the slow eating, there were long silences and bright blushes. He clearly remembered their time together and how wonderful it was. From all appearances, Ella was having similar thoughts.

“Sir, other than seeing to his needs, I run the manor in a way.*Making sure that ever thing was running right with in the manor and that the servants did what they were told.”

Luke thought about that for a while. 'Seeing to his needs'. Was that another way of saying having sex with him? That brought another blush. What is that was the thing she did most often for Victor? Could he seriously make that the primary source of activity for her?

He noticed she had gone quiet too, a slight frown marring her features. She may have been remembering how things were, or possibly how things might be now.

“I can cook…… could cook. Though the cook did most of the cooking she taught me when she had time.”

"Well, Ella, if that is something you are willing to do, and learn, then I am happy to help you with that. There are many recipe books available that can help. But the essentials I can show you, and I am confident that you will find your way around here soon enough.

"Ella, I suspect I am somewhat different to Victor in how I behave. From what I have read of him, he was a very strict man. I am not. You can ask me questions, Ella. I expect it, actually, since there is much here that is new to you.

"But I have one question. Seeing to Victor's needs. What does that mean, exactly?"
 
All evidence of her frown vanished when Luke said that he would show her the essentials of cooking.***She had always prided herself with being a quick learner especially if she put her mind to it.**The cook had been proud of the speed she had been learning.

Ella gave a small nod of her head when he mentioned there being a difference between him and her old master.**Even though her old master was gone she didn’t want to risk insulting him for fear of punishment from some form of magic.**Though she smiled at Luke and nodded more confidently adding, “yes Sir,” when he told her she could ask him questions.

Luke’s question made her go quiet for a minute as before she finally answered him.**“It meant that anything he wanted, I was to give it to him or do it for him.**If he hungered for food, I would go to the kitchens and return with what he wanted.**If he hungered for ………. sex or other things then I was to do as ordered and let him have me or pleasure him as he requires.*If he needed company then I was to sit with him and on rare occasions he would have me read while he worked.”

She told him this wondering how he would react, though he already knew she had been Victors in body.**Maybe once in heart but when she saw what he was truly like under the smile, she could no longer love him.**Not with all he did to her yet she did not have any place she could have gone that he wouldn’t have found her.*

Pushing those thoughts away she thought about him telling her to ask him anything and she took her chance.**“Sir, if it is permissible could I please look at the lands that surround the manor, as I would love to see how they have changed from my time?” she asked.**Though she knew Luke wasn’t as strict as Victor she still tried not to get her hopes up.
 
Luke just loved seeing Ella relax and smile. Seeing her reaction to him showing her how to use the modern cooking utensils made him feel good. I was kind of nice to not have to worry about cooking, well after a while he wouldn't. He felt a little bad about it, but then, it was something she felt she could do for him in return for his looking after her.

Luke reminded himself that he was in the presence of a woman who had a totally different perspective on life to a modern woman. She was doing what she felt was right and proper, even if it felt wrong to him. He wondered if she would ever embrace who a woman lived in this day and age. He decided that he would allow her every opportunity that someone was allowed, and if she wanted it, she would have it. Otherwise, he would let her live how she felt most comfortable.

But Ella then went quiet for what felt like an eternity.

“It meant that anything he wanted, I was to give it to him or do it for him. If he hungered for food, I would go to the kitchens and return with what he wanted. If he hungered for ………. sex or other things then I was to do as ordered and let him have me or pleasure him as he requires. If he needed company then I was to sit with him and on rare occasions he would have me read while he worked.”

Luke expected to hear what he heard, but still could help but look surprised. "OK. That was a little more than what I was hoping for, but if that is what you did for Victor, then... umm... that's what you'll do for me until we figure out a new working relationship.

"Ella, I will be honest with you. I really enjoyed having sex with you, and if I get the chance again in future, I wont be saying no. But... the way I was raised, I can't just command that from you. I will ask you, and you can say no to me, Ella. You don't have to say yes to me like you did with Victor. It just wouldn't be right."

“Sir, if it is permissible could I please look at the lands that surround the manor, as I would love to see how they have changed from my time?”

Luke snapped out of his lust driven thoughts and memories, blinking a few times as he caught up with what Ella said to him.

"Of course, Ella. But please stay within the grounds. I don't want you to get lost as it would cause all manner of problems trying to explain who you are to the authorities."

Luke ate a little more of his breakfast, trying to get his mind onto more sensible matters rather than fucking Ella again. He doubted that he would get her out of the kitchen if she agreed to having sex with him, and if he did, then the hallway would be christened, in the other sense of the word.

"Ella, after you've eaten, why not go for a walk out in the gardens. I've got a few things I need to do. When they're done, I'll come out and join you. Having a walk in the gardens with a pretty woman on a wonderful day will do me the world of good."

He finished his breakfast, putting the plate in the sink. He walked around to where Ella was sitting, giving her a gentle kiss on her forehead. The feel of her skin against his lips was great. He could taste her, and the fragrance coming off her hair was almost a perfume. He walked out of the kitchen in a slight daze, fighting off the urge to go back and ignore his previous statement about asking her, and just drag her off and have a repeat of the glorious sex they had the night before.

He got to his office, sat down and calmed himself down. He rubbed his face a few times, then looked up the number for the local doctor, and made an appointment for later that day. It would be a good thing to make sure that she was physically fit, and she was able to get vaccinations as well as birth control. The last thing he wanted was for her to catch something preventable that most modern day people were close to immune to.

He decided that all other matters could wait, and he would join Ella in the gardens. It took a few minutes to find her, but when he did, he felt a lot more relaxed seeing her enjoying her time in the gardens.

"I gather that it has changed a lot since you saw it last."
