It was late that night when Sebastian decided to carry out his plan. The young maid was fast asleep in her chambers. Sebastian, silent as a mouse, crept into her bedroom. He observed the maiden. She looked peaceful while asleep, unlike when she was awake, always crying or panicking or making the silliest faces. The top two buttons on her nightgown were undone, revealing her well-endowed chest. Would it be best to wake her up, or see what he could get done whilst she was asleep? Well..if she claimed he sexually assaulted her, that would lead to problems.
He gently got onto the bed and turned her onto her back. The stimulation roused her fairly quickly. She opened her eyes to see the man she had been dreaming about for so long, right above her. He looked deathly calm, as though he had something serious to tell her. But what was with this position he had himself in? One of his knees was right in between her thin legs. And his hands were on either side of her head. She was at a bit of a loss for words.
"Mey-Rin." He whispered. "I apologize for disturbing your slumber. But I must make a request."
"Y-yes?" She whispered back. Sebastian hand traveled to her buttons and undid the final button. He could feel Meyrin's heart pounding. Her eyes were wide as he leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"Make love to me." He whispered. Mey-rin was practically trembling. Sebastian wanted to make love to her? Now? She had been swooning over him for so long. And after all these years, he suddenly comes to her room with the request to make love to her? What was with this sudden sense of urgency? What was the right answer here? Sebastian seemed to know what it was. His face suddenly became much closer to hers and his soft lips connected with hers. Unlike most aggressive men, Sebastian was not demanding in his kiss. He didn't force in his tongue, nor did he bite her lips. But he was very gentle with her.
When she was an assassin, her first boss had been sexually abusive. He was rough and mean and didn't know how to treat a lady. He called her good for nothing and was made sure that it was drilled into her head every single day. So when she arrived at the manor, she had trouble trusting others. The way Sebastian treated her, it was much much different. He knew how to treat her. But...something was troubling her. He never showed any interest in her beforehand. Why did he want this all of a sudden? Was he using her? Was this just going to lead to an abusive cycle, just like with her boss?
Sebastian reached and rested a hand in her thigh. He could feel the maid stiffen up underneath him. He paused in his kissing and observed her face. He could see small tears forming in her small brown eyes. "Am I moving too quickly?" He asked. Mey-rin shook her head and wiped at her eyes.
"That's not it," Mey-rin responded. "It's just...why do you want this?" She asked. "You hardly acknowledged me before. And now all of a sudden, you want this? It's so mysterious to me. I just..I don't think I want this right now." She swallowed, her voice breaking. "Not yet. I mean, I may just be a maid, but I am still a lady. I don't want to sleep with a man who might not even feel the same way towards me." She sniffled, not wanting to cry in front of Sebastian. Sebastian nodded, understanding.
"I understand. Forgive me for pushing myself onto you like that." He climbed off of her, allowing Mey-rin to button herself up and compose herself. "I will allow you to rest. However, if you wish for me to show you my affections first, then I shall start in the morrow. Is that alright?" Mey-rin managed to smile at him. She nodded.
"I would like that." She said. Sebastian gently kissed her forehead and left her to sleep. When he exited her room, his face became grim again. How irritating. He needed to be her man before he could do anything. He had already taken many other women in order to avoid the trouble. But none were truly available to him.
Mrs. Francis was married, and she despised Sebastian. Paula had much work to attend to caring for lady Elizabeth. Besides, Elizabeth would never approve of this. Ran-Mao belonged to Mr. Lau. There truly was no other woman to carry his child. It would take much to long to find another woman who was willing to sleep with him. It would be too late. He had no other choice. His only option was to put up with Mey-Rin's request and make her his lady.
In the morning, Mey-rin awoke, and it took her a bit to remember what had occurred the night before. She found herself sighing. Sebastian had promised to treat her like a lady today, but how did she know that he would keep that promise? Not all men could be trusted. And after the night she had just had, she wasn't even sure she could trust Sebastian.
After dressing in her maids uniform, she exited her room, ready to begin her day. But as she stepped out of the room, she noticed something surprising. Propped up against the wall, right next to the door, was a bundle of roses. She picked them up and could see a note, buried among them. Her name was written in fancy lettering on the front. Oh my. She had never gotten a note like this before. She returned to her bedroom and placed the roses on her bed before implementing the note and reading it.
"Miss Mey-Rin." It read. "As promised, I shall prove myself today that I can be a gentleman fit to your liking. Once more, I apologize for forcing myself on you the previous night. The reason I did not show any previous affections for you was mainly due to my hesitancy in asking the young master to court you. But now that I have gained his permission, I can treat you as you were meant to be treated, my love. I cannot wait to see you in the morrow. -Sebastian.
Mey-Rin smiled as she finished the note and held it close to her chest. Today started a new era for her. No longer would she be lonely, or only dream of his affections. Today, they would actually become real. She hid the note away in the pocket of her apron and left her room once more.
Sebastian was awaiting her at the bottom of the staircase. "Have Baldroy, Snake, or Finnian awoken yet?" He asked. Mey-Rin shook her head. "I see. Then it seems we have a bit of time alone don't we?" He said, causing Mey-Rin to blush. "I have a request." Set-top looked up at him, curious. "I ask that you not inform Baldroy, Finnian, Tanaka, or Mr. Snake. I don't want them getting involved or getting distracted from there work. Could you promise me this."
"Of course!" She promised. "I won't tell a soul."
"That's a good girl." Sebastian praised as he kissed her forehead. "Now, Miss Nina will be coming over today in order to work on your new dress."
"D-dress? For me?" She stuttered. "But why?"
"I have arranged to take you to a party tomorrow evening." He answered. "You are just so beautiful to me. I simply must be able to show you off." She told her, practically lying through his teeth.
"Nobodies ever said that to me before," Mey-rin admitted as she wrung her hands together nervously. "Nobodies ever wanted to show me off before. I'm so...plain looking."
"Well obviously, no man has ever seen your true beauty. I look forward to taking you out. As for tonight, the young master has given me permission to take you out. It will be a bit misty out tonight. I hope that will not be a hindrance of any sort." He informed her.
"Of course not!" She insisted. "I'm looking forward to spending the day with you."
"As do I my dear." He returned before kissing her hand. "In the afternoon, after Young masters afternoon tea, that is when we shall depart. Until then, we shall go about our duties for the day. I look forward to our day of merrymaking." He retracted when he saw the three men destined the stairs. And before he announced the duties for the day, he gave Mey-Rin, one last sideways glance, before he went about his day.
However, Baldroy was not one for missing things. He could see the glance that was given and the blush that was returned. Something fishy was going on. It may have looked normal to most, but he could feel the uneasiness in his gut. He was going to get to the bottom of this...
Ugh! I need a bit of help. I need a dress design for Mey-Rin. I did have something in mind, but I forgot about the time period they were in! The original dress looked like something from the modern days. Something fit to her body and showing off her curves. An olden day dress is more...puffy, isn't it? Or can it be fit to the body? Anyways thanks for reading!
