" You have been to going for several training for a very long time Ava and I still don't know you a girl like you needs this much training, especially those sword fights you involve yourself in all in the name of training" hearing mother complain over the same thing all over again I roll my eyes " you know very well you need to find a job to help this house hold, that's what you should be doing and not wasting your time on those stupid training of yours.
Any job will do as long as it's legal and doesn't require selling your body but if you continue this stupid practice, it will only drain us Ava"
" but mother I already told you a thousand times " pulling out a chair in the kitchen I sit and stare at her " I have this weird feeling in me, something keeps telling me that I need to train myself to be strong. This feeling that I need to grow strong, get stronger not only for me but also for my future too"
" you don't need that, what you need is to get a man who is strong enough to protect you "
" but mother, I can protect myself, why should I trust a man with my life? I mean why do mother's think that their female children should always depend on the men to do their job and protect them like they are some kind of weak creature" Grabbing an apple I take a bite from it " and you need to stop worrying about me mother, am going to find a job tomorrow if that will make you happy and stop nagging me "
"That's more like it my dear oh and speaking of jobs, i was just passing by this afternoon and I saw this posted on the Anderson's gate" she said stretching a piece of paper forward. Collecting the paper from mother I opened it gently then frowned " yes dear, I know you never expected to be a maid Ava but this has to be done, your brother school fees are coming up soon and I need your help in paying for this please just do this for me. I had a little argument with my boss and one thing led to another and I quit. I didn't mean to leave it's just that I couldn't bring myself to do what he asks of me. Please try to understand my child, I love you and your brother and will never wish for you both to go hungry."
"It's okay mother you don't need to explain yourself to me I trust you and I know that you did the right thing but I will only work in there for three months mother and after that I'll find myself a better job"
" yes my child I accept your decision, that money should be enough, I heard they pay quiet a huge amount you know " mother voice fill with enthusiasm and I have no desire in ruining that at all, after father died she has taken everything on her, handling five jobs just to meet the family needs and now that am done with highschool I think I should save up for college and also help her in the process. I mean she can't keep on doing those straineous work she may look young but she's quite old in age.
" well I better check out the work place, don't want someone else stealing that job from us " I quickly informed mother.
" thank you Ava " smiling i grab my bag before leaving " keep dinner for me mother!! " running to the bus station i sit down gently, waiting for the next bus stop but then something got my attention, this place look really quite, so quite that it look like something is wrong.
Dropping my bag I stand to my feet then look closer, they is nothing to see but it looks like they is someone there, it feels like someone fighting and.....
Before I could finish my thought the bus came and that feeling disappeared, I must have been over thinking, how can people be fighting when you are not seeing anyone " the Anderson's residents " mumbling my destination I sit close to the window and what I saw next made me speechless.
A man just appeared out of nowhere, body fill with blood " Alex are you okay " someone else appeared and when he mumble fine, fangs could be seen in his mouth, maybe he fixed them. What is wrong with me why am I seeing things but this is real.
The bus begin to move, giving me little time to stare at that face, his brown hair wavy and I bet it will be easy to run my hands through them, those red eyes glitter with achievement when he nod, normal humans don't have red eyes.
What is he?
Before I lost him completely, he swiftly turn his head to my direction, he stare at me and at that my little fragile heart skip a beat " oh my god" averting my gaze I look ahead of myself and close my eyes, what just happened? For a few seconds he look at me like he knew me before he finally got out of sight.
" Anderson's residents! "
" am getting out " grabbing my bag I jump out of the bus, the sun is going to rest already, I have to hurry to meet up with this job or else mother will be so disappointed and furious" hello" standing outside the gate I keep knocking but no one seem to respond.
" you are here for the work?" Someone mumble behind me, freaking the hell out of me " did I scare you?"
" yes!" Turning around I yell but the old lady only smile " come on in, glad you arrive before six...your mother have already fill in the needed details, I just need to show you around "
" that means am hired?"
" oh no my dear, I don't do the hiring, the master does "
" master?"
" yes, he prefer to be called that but his real name is Damon Anderson the fifth" Damon huh, what a nice name if you ask me...following her inside the mansion I just couldn't help but to feel amazed.
" this is the library, no one is permitted here except you are on duty to clean " nodding my head at that, we walk down stairs to an empty room, this place doesn't have a living room?
Moving to the left she open a huge door " this is the living room" only one couch then a place for fire and a huge television but I bet they hardly turn it on " follow me " we step out of the mansion and move behind to find another house, huge but not like where he stays " every maid arrive here as early as six to change to the working uniform, the master is a general at the army, he likes punctuality, neatness and accuracy so keep that in mind" she quoted
Looking at the room I notice that no servants is here but before I could ask she beat me to it " the servants are taking their evening meal in the servants dining room and after that they change to their normal clothes, those that wish to return home do so while others who wish to sleep here can also do that "
" the master doesn't complain?" I asked rather to quickly
" he hardly notice " the woman smile " now come, the master must see you to know if he likes you to work here "
" you mean now?"
" yes now, hurry up and i will show you the kitchen on the way there " nodding I walk slowly trying my best to memorise the place, we enter an elevator, he Even have a elector in his house? How rich is this guy " the fifth floor is his room, first floor his study room, second his punishment room "
" punishment room? "
" yes, he punish maids that disobey his orders, I told you earlier, he is a general and you know generals love respect" the old lady exhale " we will go to the third floor, hiring room "
" what's the fourth floor for?"
" no body goes there, its off limit...don't forget that okay?"
" okay " the elevator open and the only room in this floor look really big, hiring room huh, the old woman knock thrice then nod " go in now "
" what? You mean I should go in there"
"Go in "
Blinking rapidly I push the door open, step in and close it gently, a table and two chairs are placed in this huge room, moving my gaze to the man, he wore black shirt and black trouser, his hair also dark in colour " take your seat " he mumble still not turning around, his voice so deep that shiver run down my spines, shiver of fear to be precise.
" thank you master " sitting down I heard a soft chuckle.
" master huh? I see that old lady does her job correctly " after that he turn around, all the air literally left my body, unlike the guy I saw earlier, this man is evilly handsome, his eyes black, so black that I fear I might get lost in it " let's move to the matter at hand " he step closer, pull a chair out and sit, his gaze not leaving mine, doing the greatest mistake of my life my gaze lower to his lips and the next words I hear shocked the hell outta " you want to kiss me?"
" what!!" I had no idea I scream but that only made him smile, though the smile didn't reach those eyes, I watch him stand to his feet and move towards my direction, placing his hand under my chin he lift my face to look at him properly and then he smile.
" to think you came to me yourself " not understanding what he is saying he purred " you're hired, you resume tomorrow, meet lady Martha to give you the rule book before you leave " I watch him move back to the window " hurry up and leave my presence "
" yes master " and with that I hurry out of the room, what have I gotten myself into? Was the only question in my head right now. I have a feeling this is going to be a deadly part for me to walk on. But for now I have to got tell mother I got the job and prepare for tomorrow's work. I finally have a job I know I'm not supposed to be all excited about it but I am I have something to do apart from the archery and sword fighting practice I take. I'll just make out time to still continue my training. I taught happily as I skipped away to go take the rule book from lady Martha and then head home.

"I'm going to tell you what I have in mind," he murmured. "First you're going to strip down until you're completely naked," he whispered against her ear. "Then I'm going to tie you up so you're completely powerless and subject to my every whim." "Mmm, sounds good so far," she murmured. "Then I'm going to insert a plug to prepare you for me. After that I'm going to spank that sweet ass of yours until it's rosy with my marks." She shivered uncontrollably, her mind exploding with the images he evoked. She let out a small whimper as he sucked the lobe of her ear into his mouth. God, she could cum with just his words. She was already aching with need. Her nipples tingled and hardened to painful points. Her clit pulsed and twitched between her legs until she clamped her thighs together to alleviate the burn. "And then I'm going to f**k your mouth. But I won't cum. Not yet. When I'm close, I'll flog you again until your ass is burning and you're on fire with the need for relief. And then I'm going to f**k that ass. I'm going to take you hard and rough, to the very limits of what you can withstand. I won't be gentle. Not tonight. I'm going to take you as roughly as you can stand. And then I'm going to cum all over your ass. Are you ready to be completely and utterly dominated?"
