INVITATION TO A SUMMER BANQUET
- PART 1 -
Nine O'clock, on a Saturday morning, with a blue sky and a luminous sun in the sky…Charles was standing on the front porch, his arms crossed in front of his chest, while looking around him and taking in charge all the organization details for tonight's summer banquet that would be held at Elijah's Manor. Couple of delivery trucks were parked up front, and several maids were already running inside and outside to take care of their errands and tasks giving to them the day before. Everything needed to be impeccably in place, without any problems or last minute interferences. Master Elijah wanted the best of the best for his guests, and nothing less than that would be accepted by him!
"Delivery of one hundred flowers centerpieces for Mr. Charles Brownston." A young delivery man said to Charles, holding a box in his hands, while passing to Charles an order sheet and a pen for him to sign.
Katherine appeared beside their standing positions a second later, while closing the last button of her uniform.
"Miss Katherine, you're late…" Charles said to her, while signing the sheet and giving back the sign form to the delivery man. "…You can bring the boxes in the master dinning room…a maid will show you the way…" Charles added to the delivery man, while nodding his head to him and addressing himself to a maid who was cleaning the front porch. "Christina, could you show the way to the master dining room to this man, please?"
"Certainly, Mister Charles…" The maid answered to him.
"It's nine o'clock…I am not late!" Katherine answered him, while sliding her hands on her uniform to swept away the folds, before turning her sight on the young delivery man who was suggestively smiling to her, at the same time he was passing by her side.
"Well hello there handsome..." She whispered to the man, winking an eye in return.
"Miss Katherine!" Charles said to her, while crossing his arms on his chest, before raising his left sleeve and looking at his watch. "Technically it is five after nine, which makes you late of five minutes…and do you really want to relive the nightmare of the Gardie story, today of all day?"
"Gosh, you seems nervous today, more than usual, Charles…Did you drink your coffee this morning?" Katherine asked him, while raising her eyes. "First…I was only innocently flirting for 2 seconds, I'm bored, I need distractions…I already forgot all about that delivery man…Second, I was not responsible for the Gardie story, it came very innocently at me…Third, I've never flirted with Gardie, he flirted with me…if the "King" of this castle was not having an ego the size of the planet and would let his employees have a personal life, Gardie would not have been shipped in Germany!" She added to Charles while crossing her arms on her chest in a copy cat version of Charles's standing position.
Charles could not contain the biggest smile on his face, while looking at her.
"Why are you smiling at me like that?" Katherine asked him, while pointing one of her fingers to his face.
"First, Miss Katherine, it is not polite to point a finger at someone…" Charles said to her.
"Whatever…" She responded to him. "…and you're not someone, you're my Charles!"
"A lady should be able to have a certain class in society…" Charles explained to her.
"Well, I'm not a lady…Obviously…Why are you laughing?" She kept asking him.
"Two weeks is a long time without the presence of Master Elijah in the Manor, would you say?" Charles said to Katherine, while showing with a hand gesture to a delivering man to enter extra chairs in the house.
Katherine turned her sight in front of her.
"Oh, he was gone…I did not notice!" She replied to Charles, while crossing her arms in front of her chest, and keeping her chin up.
"Of course you did notice, Miss Katherine…Well, Master Elijah is back. He just arrived an hour ago…And, as for the Gardie story, he had informed me that Mister Gardie could come back at the Manor after his stay at his German house, to help put back together the garden that needed taking care…" Charles explained to her, while giving a glimpse at Katherine, to notice her reaction after his announcement.
Katherine turned her head a second after his saying to look at Charles.
"He did? Are you sure?" Katherine asked Charles, while putting her right hand on his left forearm.
"Mm, mm….I still wonder, who or what could have make him change his mind?" Charles asked her, while raising one of his eyebrows.
"I don't know…" Katherine answered to him. "…The man is moody; unstable…You never know what he is going to do…" She added to Charles, with a gesture of her hand, while shrugging her shoulders, and holding back her need to smile.
"Well…If I was you, Miss Katherine, I would find time in my day to thank this moody and unstable man for his good grace toward you…" Charles replied to her.
Katherine smiled and took a few steps toward the front entrance of the Manor, to enter inside.
"Miss Katherine, now would not be a good time…You have a list of tasks to do for tonight's banquet!" Charles screamed at her, but she was already turning her back at him and waving a hand, while directing her rapid walk toward the stairs. She noticed that a young maid was climbing the stairs at the same time, with a basket of fresh washed towels.
"Where are you going with this?" She asked her, while showing with her right hand the basket that the maid was carrying in her hands.
"Mister Charles asked me to put fresh towels in each guest bedroom." The young maid answered her.
"Well…Mister Charles needs you in the kitchen for last minute emergency right now, so woosh! Let me handle this and go, quick!" Katherine said to the girl, while taking the basket from her hands.
"Thank you…" The young maid whispered before rushing downstairs in direction of the kitchen.
Katherine rapidly climbed the last of the stairs, directing her walk toward Elijah's bedroom, reaching the door, while taking a rapid look at her right and left, before entering the said room. He was not in the bedroom, obviously, but she could hear the shower running in the adjacent bathroom. She opened the door, and entered inside the steamy room with two body towels on her left arm.
Elijah was standing under the shower, while passing a hand on his wet hair. He suddenly felt a presence behind him, and turned to find Katherine standing behind the glass shower in front of him, while holding guests towels in her arms.
"Hi…" She whispered to him, while locking her eyes with his, before sliding slowly her stare from his muscular chest, to his toned stomach and pelvis, and under…
"Good morning, Katerina…you like what you're seeing?" He sarcastically asked her, with a smirk on his face.
"Maybe…" She answered him, before lowering her sight to the floor, not that she was shy at the first place, she had seen her share of naked man…but Elijah was always different to her, he made her feel uncomfortable. "…I…I brought you towels!"
"How nice of you…" Elijah answered her, while holding his amusement. "…You wanted to ask me something, Katerina? Or maybe you just missed me, and you wanted to see me, and took the excuse of bringing me fresh cleaned towels, when I already have more than enough in here…." He added to her, while nodding his head in direction of the sink cabinet, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Katherine turned and saw a bunch of new fresh cleaned towels in top of the sink cabinet.
"I didn't know…I must have misunderstood my tasks of the day…I will leave you then…" She said to him, while blushing and rapidly walking toward the bathroom door, before stopping on her track, remembering the reason she was here. She turned again, and looked at him straight in the eyes. "I wanted to thank you for your kind gesture of allowing Gardie to come back to the Manor…" She whispered to him.
Elijah raised an eyebrow, while staring straight at her. He'll be damn! Katerina Petrova was actually thanking him!
"You know what you have to do, and not do, to keep him here after his return, don't you?" He asked her.
She nodded her head to him in affirmation.
"You're welcome, Katerina." He added to her.
She nodded her head herself one last time, before leaving the bathroom and closing the door behind her. Elijah lowered his sight, while taking a few steps and putting his head under the water of the shower head once again…before suddenly taking back his initial standing position away from the water.
"Katerina…" He screamed, in hope that she would still be in the bedroom, while passing a nervous hand on his wet hair….Hoping that she would be able to hear him call her. It has been too long and too unbearable two weeks without seeing her… He wanted her more than ever! But only the silence answered him. He put both of his arms on the wall in front of him, while straightening his arms, before lowering his head between them.
"Yes?" He heard a voice respond to him, making him raise his head in surprise and turning his sight to look at Katerina who was standing in front of him, behind the shower glass door, in her underwear with one hand placed on her waist. She god rid of her bra and panties, by letting them slide on the floor in slow, calculated and sensual movements; her eyes locked with Elijah's. She finally opened the glass door, before entering the marble shower space, passing by him, to reach the soap who was in an alcove in the opposite wall, without being able to reach it, being pull by two arms into full front contact with Elijah's chest, his hands sliding a second later on her waist and tender skin of her bottom in a slow mix of caress and grabbing.
"Elijah…" She murmured to him, before seeing him bend his head, and sliding his lips on the right side of her neck.
"Mm…" He murmured to her, before sensually sliding his mouth and devouring each inch of her skin; lowering it on her neckline, in a mix of kissing and licking.
"I don't know why I came back…" She mumbled incoherently to him, while sliding both of her hands in his wet hair.
"Yes, you do…" He whispered in her right ear, while pushing her body to lean on the wall behind her, cupping with his right hand her left breast, feeling its roundness, before stroking the tip of her nipple with his thumb. "..You missed me, you want me…and you need to feel me inside of you…as much as I want to be in you….now!" He added to her, before lowering his head to replace the hand on her breast by his mouth, playing erotically with the tip of his tongue on her sensitive nipple. "You're so beautiful…" He whispered to her, while slowly sliding his right hand between her legs, on her folds, feeling her intense wetness, before slowly started to caress her.
"No…Elijah, We shouldn't do this now… " She mumbled to him, while contradicting herself by pushing his head nearer to her chest, and elevating her right leg to rest it on his left hip bone, feeling him a second later elevating her on the wall in his arms, his erected length resting straight between her legs, rubbing its hardness on the sensitive inside of her upper thighs. What was happening to her? Why in hell did she came back to the bathroom and offer herself on a silver platter to him like this? She needed to be careful…Katerina Petrova would never offer herself so easily to a man…Men were chasing after her, and not the other way around…Especially a man that she hated with every fibber of her being, and that she had an agreement with! But at the moment, her only need was purely sexual, or she would prefer to think that was the reason? She only had one need, and that need could only be fulfil by one and only man, Elijah!
"Katerina…" He whispered to her. "…If you continue that way I won't be able to put any preliminary to this…" He added to her, raising his head from her chest to look at her in the eyes, before approaching his mouth of hers. "Tell, me you missed me…" He asked her to confess, while sliding his right hand in her hair to get rid of her hair clip, letting her hair fall on her shoulders, before passing his right hand on her hair in a slow caress, creating shivers in all her body.
"Were you gone?" She mockingly answered to him, while sliding her hands on his muscular chest, appreciating the feeling of the softness of his skin and his muscular abs, before lowering her right hand down on him, and grabbing firmly his length. "Well…I missed Max…As for you I did not notice that you were gone…"
Elijah smiled at her, before laughing out loud and tenderly kissing her, sliding his tongue between her two lips, erotically caressing her bottom one with its tip.
"You're so bad…What did I told you about calling it that name?" He whispered, his lips still on hers, while closing his eyes and gasping at the intense sexual pleasure she was giving him by sliding her hand in a rapid up and down movement on his length, before rubbing the tip with her thumb.
"I can't stay, Elijah…" Katherine whispered to him, in between torrid exchange of kisses. "Charles is waiting for me, I have loads of work to do for tonight…" She added to him.
"You're such a naughty teaser….I'll talk to your boss for you…He'll let you stay!" He replied to her in a whisper, with a sarcastic smile on his face, before raising her body higher in his arms. She kept her balance by putting both of her hands on his shoulders, crossing her legs around his waist. He carried her under the shower, before sliding his length inside of her wetness in a good and profound movement. She closed her eyes, and opened her mouth, bending her back backward, under the water, while keeping her balance by putting her hands on the wall.
Elijah started to move in her, in slow steady movements. The waterfall was sliding erotically on her round breasts, showing him the most beautiful erotic image of a woman that he had ever seen in all his long life! He pushed himself under the water, while pushing her back on the wall at the same time, and raising his speed movements, increasing every push by sliding himself farther and harder in her.
"Elijah…" She mumbled to him, her eyes closed, while grabbing firmly his hair with both of her hands. She was keeping the tempo of his increased rhythm by pushing her pelvis down at the same time he was pushing in her. "…It's so good; I needed to feel you inside of me!" She whispered to him, without her acknowledgement of admitting to him her secret thoughts, making him smirk while listening to her admission to him. Soon, he thought, he would become the center of her universe…He could swear on that!
"Katerina, open your eyes and look at me…" He murmured to her.
She slowly opened her eyes, before plunging them in the intensity of his stare. He approached his lips of hers; kissing her tenderly, while keeping his sight in hers, increasing even more his in and out movements in her, feeling shivers passing on her arms.
"You're shivering, you're ok?" He murmured to her, while kissing her cheeks, and passing his hands on her hair.
"Yes…" She whispered back to him, while nodding her head. "I'm co…." She mumbled to him, before opening his mouth, feeling that she was at a near second of reaching her sexual peak.
"I know…" He replied to her, before elevating her arms on the shower wall behind her, sliding his hands on them in a slow caress, before interlacing his fingers with hers. "Say it…" He asked her, before pushing himself one last time and crashing with her, at the minute she screamed his name. They stared into each other eyes, wrapped in the intensity of the moment, when he repeated: "Say it…"
"I missed you…" She confessed to him in a whisper.
"Now that was not so bad to confess…Wasn't it Katerina?" He answered her, with the biggest smile on his face, before lowering his mouth on hers, and kissing her passionately.
"May I know why?" Katherine asked Charles, while standing in front of him, with both of her hands on each side of her waist, with a mad expression on her face.
"You'll be assigned to the Kitchen duty for the all duration of the banquet, end of the story Miss Katherine, There is no why to be asked…It is just simply like that!" Charles responded to her, while transpiring enormously in desperation of making her agreeing to her evening duty.
"Charles please…I'll be bored to death! I want to see what this all summer banquet is all about…" Katherine pleaded to him, while gently sliding and caressing his left arm with her fingers. "Pretty please…"
"Are you really doing what you are doing to me now, Miss Katherine?" Charles asked her, while opening his eyes in anger.
"Grr…." Katheine mumbled in her teeth, before hitting her right foot on the marble floor of the entrance. "You know me too well, I hate you for that!" She responded to him, while crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"Miss Katherine, you're acting childish for you age…" Charles responded to her.
"My age, seriously…You want to go there?" She asked him, while raising an eyebrow.
Charles elevated his eyes to the ceiling before adding:
"Let's just say that the menu has been established…and that we don't want an extra dead body for desert!" Charles responded to her.
"What? I wouldn't kill anybody…I just want to be in the middle of the action…I want to have some fun…" She replied in return. "…I swear I would behave and do my job very well…" She said to Charles, while putting her hands together as a prayer gesture.
"Master Elijah has decided …" Charles replied to her as an order.
"I should have known that it was coming from him!" She harshly replied to Charles.
Elijah came down from upstairs, while whistling and directing his walk into the corridor, toward the entrance of the Manor. He was wearing a white t-shirt, with a pair of light blue tight jeans, his ridding boots, and his hair were still wet from his previous shower with Katerina. Maids were frantically running everywhere in the manor, in a hurry to finish the last details of the banquet before the end of the day, passing by him, with blush cheeks, timid smiles, and gossiping whispers on his good look, while greeting him with reverences.
"Good morning, Master Elijah…" – "How are you today, Master Elijah…" – "We hope the banquet will be a success, Master Elijah…" - "What a beautiful day for a banquet, Master Elijah…"
"Ladies…" Elijah responded, while nodding his head and showing his killer smile to all of them, before noticing Charles and Katherine, who were standing face to face at the end of the corridor, near the front entrance door.
"How are you my friend?" Elijah asked, before putting a friendly hand on Charles left shoulder, before turning his sight on Katherine. "Katerina…" Elijah greeted her, while nodding his head.
"Master Elijah…" Katerina responded to him in a sarcastic voice, while making a theatrical reverence to him, to play his game.
"Master Elijah…" Charles responded to him, while nodding his head to him, while raising one of his eyebrows at the strange exchange he was witnessing between Elijah and Katherine. "…You seem in a good mood today…How was your trip?"
"It has been good, thank you Charles….As for my mood of today, well…" Elijah started explaining to Charles. "…My morning shower was very reinvigorating to me….Must have been the extra towels that I received…" He added to him, while slowly sliding his sight on Katherine's body, smirking and winking one eye to her, making her lowered her head and blushing like a teenager.
"Damn him!" Thought Katherine…He was making her uncomfortable and making Katerina Petrova uncomfortable was not an easy task to do!
"I'm sure it was…" Charles responded to Elijah, while looking at both of them alternately, while trying to hold his laughter. So, that is where Miss Katherine had disappeared earlier!
"I'm sorry…I have a lot to do, I let you be." Katherine said to both men, before making a reverence and leaving them in the entrance of the Manor. Elijah kept his stare, till he could not see her in the corridor anymore.
"Master Elijah!" Charles repeated for the third time in a loud voice, while waving a hand in front of his eyes.
"Yes…Sorry…" Elijah responded to Charles, while getting out of his trance. "Is everything coming along nicely for tonight?"
"Everything will be in order as you intended to be, Master..." Charles responded to him, while containing his urge to laugh at Elijah's teenage response of seeing Miss Katherine.
"Good…and?" Elijah asked him, while titling his head to the left.
"She will be assigning to help the maids in the kitchen…and won't be present in the dining room…" Charles responded to him, while holding the urge to let a smile appear on his face, with a thought that keeping Miss Katherine on a leash in the kitchen could backfire on them in no time!
"Good…Keep it that way!" Elijah added to him, while tapping his right hand on Charles's left shoulder, before gently pushing Charles to follow him outside.
They stepped out on the front porch, finding a private spot to continue their conversation.
"Did you find out anything about the whereabouts of your family?" Charles asked him, while crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"While in Croatia I received leak information that there could be a slim chance that their bodies would had been hidden by Klaus in a monastery…." Elijah murmured to Charles.
"And…" Charles asked him.
"False lead…" Elijah responded while pacing back and forth in front of Charles, both of his hands on his waist.
"And tonight…I am supposing that someone will present himself or herself with the missing information you need?" Charles asked him again.
"Eleonore Greenwich….You know her?" Elijah murmured to Charles.
"She is a very powerful witch…She stayed several years in China…before moving around between Australia and New-Zealand" Charles responded to Elijah.
"Not only that, she was in contact with my brother for a couple of years…" Elijah explained to Charles.
"You think she would know something about your family's whereabouts?" Charles asked him.
"I think that I should check every possibility that is out there…" Elijah responded to Charles, while shrugging his shoulders.
"You should, indeed…" Charles said to him.
"I let you know how it will turn out tonight…" Elijah replied to him, before directing his walk toward his stables.
"Only God knows what this night will bring to all of us …" Charles added to himself, while watching Elijah disappeared of his sight.
Did I ever tell all of you how much I love this pairing and story? I believe I did!
I decided to cut this long nigh of the "Summer Banquet" in two or possibly three chapters, helping all of you, by the meantime, having the chapters coming at you more often and quickly. I am still writing three stories at the same time…so I thank you for your patience with the updates.
As always, I can't wait to read you all! Thank you!
