Serena placed the sheet over the bed and tucked in the corners just as he always like as she hobbled over to fix the pillows on his bed as Mina looked to her shaking her head telling her "you have been working so hard why don't you take a breather"
Serena nodded her head as she leaned back against the dresser feeling the sharp pains in her ankle as looked to Mina and let out a loud yawn telling her "I guess I had forgotten how tiring your job can be"
Mina looked to her sadly knowing that Constance had demanded more of Serena today than any of the others and shook her head telling her "you have worked so hard. I can take it from here. Why don't you go down and get some supper?"
Serena had heard her stomach grumbling for the past hour and knew she could use something to eat to help build up her strength and nodded her head asking "are you sure you will be alright"
Mina gave her a reassuring smile telling her "yes I got this, go on get something to eat and rest that ankle of yours for a time"
Serena nodded her head knowing she could definitely use the break and to rest her leg up on a chair for a time, she told her "alright thank you, I won't be long"
Mina smiled telling her "take your time, there is not much left to do anyhow. Its getting late and I will be planning to retire myself for the evening too" as she went over and finished fluffing the pillows
Serena looked over to Mina hearing her speak of retiring for the evening which is usually when her duties for Lord Montgomery would have been expected, but tonight would not be, at least not for her or possibly any other night to follow.
She felt a longing inside of her that could not be explained while she watched Mina fluff the pillows on the bed where she had spent so many times there on her back. Where he made her feels things she had never experienced before and took something precious from her that she could never get back and now she was no longer needed by him and left to feel used and worthless.
She turned around not wanting to waste another moment of her time thinking about him and his cold demeanor that made him treat her so carelessly. She turned around and held her head up high refusing to think of him any longer and the way that he caressed her, but she could not help but think of anything else but him. She let out a long sigh and slowly made her way down to the dining hall.
She sat down in her usual seat really feeling how tired she felt both physically and mentally. While she felt every dull ache and pain throughout her body after a long and tiring day. She put her ankle up on one of the other chairs and took a deep breath then exhaled relieved to finally be off of her foot and have a quiet place to sit and think for a time.
She sat looking around the room where he would join her and they would sit and eat, but now there was only emptiness and silence. She let out a small sigh wondering how many more meals would she be given here.
She patiently waiting for Lita to bring out the evening meal as she thought about some of the best meals they had shred at this table, whether it was Lita's delicious gravy over potatoes, the creamy soup with the cut up vegetables and the tender meat she used for her pot roast. Her taste buds grew just thinking about all of it, but right now the way her stomach grumbled asking for more anything would do.
She waited another minute and then looked to the door surprised Lita didn't show up as usual, when she heard loud arguing getting started in the kitchen. She began to stand up from the table to see what was going on, but felt her ankle protesting.
She sat back down for another second to take the weight off when Constance walked into the room with the door swinging closed behind her. Serena looked up to her not really surprised by the cold demeanor she showed.
Constance walked over to the table and gruffly grabbed Serena by the arm demanding "what do you think you are doing?"
Serena looked to her surprised by the comment and shook her head explaining "I was feeling hungry I came for my evening meal"
Constance pulled her up by the arm as Serena fell forward from the chair causing her to lose her balance and stumble forward catching herself on the edge of the table with a huff she looked up to Constance asking "what is the matter?" as she tried to right herself up
Constance looked to her shaking her head in disapproval stating with a commanding tone "servants eat in the kitchen after they have completed their tasks for the day"
Serena looked to her as she rubbed her side from where she now had the indent of the table on her, trying to keep her temper in check saying back "I did all that you asked. I just came down to take a short breather and get something to eat"
Constance had a satisfied grin as she crossed her arms over her chest asking her "did you now?"
Serena nodded her head knowing there was nothing Constance could ask of her that hasn't been done telling her "yes, I have worked for hours and I am just looking to get a little food and rest my ankle for a time"
Constance shook her head with disapproval telling her loudly "you are a lazy good for nothing, you think you can just walk around here like the lady of the household and do as you please. You are nothing here and soon I will not have to deal with your insubordination any longer. In the meantime a hard day's work will do you some good"
Serena looked to her angrily hearing her words knowing she had no idea how much she has had to put up with since entering these walls, but kept her voice in check repeating again "I have done all that has been asked of me and more"
Constance eyes narrowed at the despicable girl standing in front of her and then shook her head asking proudly "have you changed the sheets"
Serena nodded her head yes, and stood up knowing whatever Constance could ask of her was done, but Constance smiled a devious smile back asking her "and sweep the floor"
Serena nodded her head again telling her with a little smirk "yes it's all done"
Constance nodded her head wanting to wipe that smirk off her face she knowingly asked her "did you wash the windows" expecting that she would not get that done as well except Serena nodded her head telling her "yes everything that you asked"
Constance was taken back, but shook her head asking her with a small pleased smile of her own "and the laundry Lord Montgomery is very precise on how he wants things completed"
Serena nodded her head hearing the unspoken challenge behind her words she replied back telling her "I am very well aware of how Lord Montgomery expects things to be done and yes it's finished"
Constance looked to her angrily hearing how she spoke of him and stated loudly "you will not use a tone with me Serena, for as long as I am stuck with you, you will be taking orders from me now"
Serena nodded her head knowing she was right by arguing with her. It would only make things worse than they already are. For now it was Constance that would control her fate. She shook her head telling her "I'm sorry, but I have done all that you have asked of me. May I be excused now to go to the kitchen to get some food please?"
Constance stood firm shaking her head telling her "no you may not. How rude are you? Were you raised in a barn? I am not done speaking with you yet. Now tell me have you cleaned the steps and polished the bannister"
Serena took a deep breath and let it out then nodded her head replying once more "yes I have done all that you have asked of me"
Constance shook her head replying back "I highly doubt that is true" and then looked up at the tapestry hanging on the wall across from her and had a gleam in her eyes. She put her hands on her hips asking her "have you cleaned and rehung all the tapestries in the main hall, dining room, and his office"
Serena looked to her knowing that was never asked of her and would take several more hours of work to complete she shook her head telling her "you never asked me to do so"
Constance looked to her outraged yelling back "I most certainly did, how dare you accuse me of lying, you are a terrible listener. Now go about and finish your chores before you receive even a crust of bread"
Serena lowered her head knowing there was no use arguing further with Constance. No matter what she said she would never win and only end up with welts on her hands she replied back solemnly telling her "yes mam"
She turned around and slowly walked away from the room limping on her bad leg as her stomach let out a loud grumble, when she heard Constance behind her saying rudely "and Serena don't be all day about it like you have with your other duties so far"
Serena cringed hearing her words as she continued walking away from the room. She made her way to his office and opened the door slowly and walked in seeing the room was still dark and empty where ever he was, he no longer required her duties. She let out a sigh and then hobbled over and began to remove the tapestry from the wall.
3 hours later all the tapestries were washed and rehung. She held onto the banister tightly in her hand to keep herself from falling down feeling too exhausted to even stand up any longer while trying to make her way up the stairs to her own bedroom.
Her stomach was still protesting wanting some food, but she felt too sore and tired to even try to make her way down to the kitchen or worse the thought of having another run in with Constance. Where maybe next time she would be expected to bathe all of the horses in the barn or shovel out there hay.
She let out a loud grunt just thinking of what would come tomorrow and made her way back to her room and stood in front of her closed door with her hand on the doorknob, questioning if this was even was her room any longer or if he had given it to someone else.
She opened the door slowly and walked in closing the door behind her glad to see that the room at least hadn't changed it was still hers and then the thought invaded her mind telling herself "for now anyway"
She reached over to light a candle to bring out some light from the darkness when she heard his voice come from the back corner of the room telling her "leave it dark"
She jumped in surprise to hear his voice, unaware there was anyone else in the room with her and then looked around, but could not see him in the dark she asked nervously "I cannot see you"
She heard movement from the corner and then his voice again calmly telling her "that is alright I can still see you" Her eyes followed where she heard his voice coming from and looked over by the window realizing in all the darkness around her there was one light that still shone brightly, she was standing in the shadow of the moon light.
She walked over following the dim light from the moon seeing his shadow more clearly now sitting in her corner chair with his posture straight and one leg bent over the other. She looked down at herself seeing how filthy her clothes were after a long grueling day of hard work after Constance had told her she was no longer needed by him.
She expected she knew why he was here now what he wanted from her, but why now after ignoring her for days she asked him "Constance told me you no longer needed me is this true"
She saw him change positions and leave his back to her. In that instant she knew it was true, all of it. He no longer had any use for her and planned to send her away as her bottom lip began to tremble she asked him "what will…"
She did not get to finish her question as he turned back and ordered out loudly "quiet"
She stood there silently and looked over at her bed feeling the pit in her stomach rising, unsure what he expected of her. He was in her room now, so did that mean he still wanted her to stay here as a servant of the manor, taking his orders at night, while Constance worked her to the point of exhaustion during the day or did he have some other plans for her that would not involve him at all.
Darien sat there seeing the soft glow of her skin against the moonlight as she stood there before him in her radiance. He wasn't sure what had brought him here tonight. He knew that he needed to keep his distance from her, that there could be nothing further, with her feelings it only caused trouble, but here she was still standing there taunting him. He stood up from the chair no longer able to hold back and walked closer.
She turned to him hearing his footsteps getting closer, but it wasn't until he was right in front of her that she looked up and could see his eyes clearly. He looked different then she remembered from seeing him earlier that day more tired, more restless, as though he hadn't slept in days as she felt her breath hitch at the sight of him.
Darien reached out with both hands and grabbed hold of her arms pressing her warm body up against his chest taking in her sweet aroma, he felt his manhood already going stiff at her nearness as he rubbed himself up against her leg.
Serena closed her eyes feeling him against her again after days of nothing and went to raise her hands to put them under his shirt wanting to remove it to feel his hard chest once more, but he quickly grabbed onto both her wrists shaking his head telling her sternly "no"
She quickly removed her hands away finding it hard to stand feeling the weakness in her knees whether it was from the pain in her ankle or the way his hands roamed free up her chest as he moved the material out of the way for his touch.
She let out a satisfied moan feeling the way he cupped her breast taking it as is own and then moved his other hand down to her stomach.
He could feel her body responding from him wanting more and his own pleasures demanded it too as he removed both of his hands and placed them onto her bottom cheeks pushing her up against him as he slowly lowered his mouth over neck.
Serena let out a low satisfied cry with her body wanting more of his touch she pushed herself towards him. Darien shook his head trying to remain in control while she teased him asking for more.
He reached down and grabbed her leg with the injured ankle and wrapped it around his waist while his hand pushed her skirt up higher to her waist and was pleased to see she still forwent the underwear and easily slipped his finger inside of her feminine folds.
He heard her sudden intake of breath as he smiled knowing how she still responded to his touch, while taking for himself what he needed of her telling her "you are a drug to me I cannot get enough of"
She froze in his arms hearing his words unclear of their meaning. Was he saying he still was in need of her the way if she were being truthful to herself, the same way her body needed him to be or was she a burden left to him he needed to relieve himself of and this was his final way of letting go.
The thoughts quickly consumed her brain, but were blocked out by the feeling, the pleasure he could give, the carnal need for more that he alone brought out in her, while his fingers pushed deeper inside of her gently exploring and caressing her feminine walls
She let out a pant while her body reached out for him missing his touch and she could feel herself becoming burning hot as her heart began to race. He took her right breast in his hand molding it in his fingers. She heard him let out a pleasured moan of his own she closed her eyes asking him "do you not wish to get rid of me?"
He froze for a moment hearing her asking that damn question again and then grabbed onto her breast tighter in a firm squeeze and ran his tongue up along her delicious neck to behind her ear licking alongside it he whispered back to her "I have not decided what I will do with you yet"
Serena let out a sudden gasp fearful of losing his touch as she heard his command "no more talking" and then he pushed his finger deeper inside her as she cried out "more"
He opened his eyes wide surprised by her comment as he took her body and pressed her up against wall wanting to push her beyond her limits as he took both of her legs ad wrapped them around his waist.
She felt like jelly in his arms knowing without his firm hold on her she would be a puddle on the floor. She pushed her head back expanding out her chest for his touch as she breathed out asking him "please let me touch you?"
He shook his head again telling her "no" and put one hand on her breast fondling it firmly, then took her earlobe into his mouth as he sucked on it and gave it a delightful pull. She tried to put her arms around his neck to hold on with the pleasure that was coursing through her, but he quickly forced her arms back away from him as he told her sternly "no"
Serena felt deflated with her body being used by him for his own pleasure and dominating control as he reached forward and took hold of her chin then lifted her head up to look at him.
He saw those eyes of hers drop down not to face him while she stood pressed up against him exactly as he wanted with her skirt still heightened up to her waist and her blouse open to his touch with her voice silent.
She looked up to meet his eyes, seeing the way he looked at her baring down into her soul and for a moment she was unsure if he would either kiss her or leave her there wanting more.
She was ready to scream out in frustration wanting answers, wanting to know if she was anything more to him than just another one of his conquests and just as easily replaced, or if what they felt together, the pleasurable releases couldn't be replaced with any another, when he stopped dropped her legs down and removed his hands from her and walked away giving her, her answer.
Serena stood there shaking her head unsure why he would get her so heated up and then nothing what was the purpose as she wrapped her arms tightly around herself and turned around to avoid him when he spoke out telling her "I have seen your friend Kevin. He will no longer be spending time in the village any longer?"
Serena was shocked from her thoughts not expecting him to say that as she turned back in his direction asking worried "did you hurt him?"
Darien stood there seeing her body heated up knowing he made it that way and that look in her eyes again when she faced him not fear, but something else as he responded back asking "does it matter?"
Serena nodded her head frantically thinking of the kind man who had helped her. She had only met him the one time a few days earlier and because of her foolish behavior she felt on the verge of tears. She didn't want to be responsible for something terrible have happened to him because of her. She cried out to Darien angrily "all he did was help me that's all. I only saw him the one time" she wiped a tear from her eyes asking "what have you done?"
He looked to her feeling his blood boiling up seeing her cry tears for this other man and shook his head asking "are you upset he is gone"
She thought about her answer for a moment knowing whatever she answered now would bring about her hereafter whether it be pain or pleasure and shook her head telling him "I do not care he is gone, but I do not want his well-being to be on my conscious, he did nothing to deserve it"
She waited for his response, but he said nothing just stood there judging her with his arms crossed, she finally yelled out in frustration needing to know asking him "answer me, please what have you done to him?"
He looked to her trying to find any false truths in her words and then heard her cries out for the other man and made his hand into a fist and turned away from her he told her "I compensated him well for assisting you and made it clear to him it would be in his best interests to move on"
Serena let out the breath she was holding feeling relieved that was all he had done when she saw him quickly turn back around and tell her with his voice raised "I expect complete loyalty from you Serena"
Serena nodded her head knowing his rules and the consequences for breaking them telling him quietly "I have done nothing to make you think otherwise"
Darien walked up closer to her closing the gap between them and put one hand to her waist and the other lifting up her chin up to face him he looked over her body pleasurably stating "you soot my needs well"
Serena nodded her head and let out a sniffle knowing it still wasn't good enough for him and never would be saying "yet you want to send me away"
Darien took a deep breath unsure what it was about this girl, what made him respond to her the way he does. She was no different than any of the others and yet he wanted more of her and ran a finger slowly down her arm asking her "does it upset you to know I have been with many different women, even now after we are together"
Serena didn't answer him not wanting to hear about how little she meant to him and how easily she was replaced she lowered her head not wanting him to see the tear that escaped.
He put his hand under her chin for her to look up and face him then took a step back seeing the tears coming down her cheeks. He took a deep breath reminding himself she means nothing and told her "you are a servant here that is your place you serve me as I feel fit. You do as I say nothing more"
Serena closed her eyes tight trying to block away her emotions and nodded her head telling him "yes my lord". He could feel her tense up with just the small words she spoke.
He took a deep breathe knowing that the hold he had on her, more so the power he consumed with his words would be her undoing. He let go of her and turned away telling her coldly "your emotional sentiments are lost to this place. I enjoy you Serena and will keep you with me for my pleasure alone, but if your emotions get in the way"
She looked up to him surprised to hear him say that he intends to still keep her with him for his personal pleasure and shook her head telling him numb inside "they won't my lord"
Darien nodded his head and turned around to see her looking at him with those eyes of hers blue as the ocean telling her "we shall see"
She looked over to the bed and closed her eyes knowing what her responsibilities are asking him "would you prefer I finish my duties"
He looked over to where her thoughts went and shook his head telling her "no stay as you are"
She looked to him surprised that he didn't want to start what he finished and nodded her head telling him "yes my lord"
He looked at her hearing her addressing him in a titled way with a sour face, but knew going further this would be there new arrangement pleasure only nothing further and then turned to walk away from her into his own room.
Serena stood there feeling tired and hurt unsure how long she would need to wait for him to return. If he would come back to her at all or if she should follow him into his room to get this done with so she could hopefully rest for the evening before her duties for Constance started up one more when she heard movement and turned to see him standing in the doorway holding a rope and a blind fold in his hand.
She stood there looking at the items he held, shaking inside while trying not to show it wondering what he had planned for her now as he ordered her with his voice cold "place your hands in front of you"
She felt nervous unsure what would be, but did as she was told as he walked over to her and silently tied the rope around her wrists. He slowly rubbed his hands over her arms moving them up higher as he went so she was reaching above her head and told her "take three steps back"
Serena gulped experiencing this new part of him unsure what was to happen, but did as she was told to as he took a step behind her and whispered in her ear "I am going to make you understand what you are and never forget it"
She felt a chill run down her spine at the reminder of what he saw her as nothing and watched as he took the ends of the rope and tied it up to a beam on the ceiling stretching her arms out further until she was almost of her tippy toes to reach. He stepped back and looked to her pleased with what he had done and smiled telling her "yes this will do nicely"
Serena opened her mouth to question what he intended to do to her when he put a finger to her mouth telling her "no not a word from you" as he took the blind fold and tied it around her mouth.
She was left there speechless watching him with her eyes unsure what was happening what he planned to do, leaving her all tied up and left hanging while he walked over and grabbed a pillow from the bed and tossed it onto the floor in front of her.
Darien looked to her knowing he had what he wanted now full control and kneeled down and slowly ran his hands up her legs starting by her ankles and moving slowly up to her thighs.
She felt the pull at her arms feeling the sensations below as his tongue slowly followed his hands and then went up further inside of her parting her inner walls and licking at her center core she tried to cry out, but was unable to.
She danced around hanging there feeling his tongue inside of her licking up and causing such delicious torture as she felt her ankles going weak unable to hold herself up any longer.
Darien moved away from her feeling her tensing up and looked to see the pained look in her eyes as he realized she kept no wait on the one foot he reached down and picked up her injured ankle placing a kiss on it.
Her head lowered watching him surprised at the tender action as he placed both her legs over his shoulders telling her "keep them here" and then reached in slowly placing a kiss to her stomach
Serena felt a relief finally losing the pain that she felt in her legs as he moved his hands slowly up her torso while his mouth continued to delve down again lower to her inner sanctum. He could feel her going hot for him as she let out a loud moan and then her juices started to flow filling his mouth with the taste of her.
She moved her hips towards him seeking more of him and his amazing abilities wanting all of him to enter her.
He quickly placed her legs back down to the floor and stood back up staring at her knowing even now she had a hold on him and caught his breath then shook his head stating "this won't do"
She looked to him feeling confused by his reaction as she watched him reach back into his pocket and pulled out a knife he had concealed there.
She went stiff at the sight of it wondering what he would do with a knife as he put his hand up to her cheek and whispered gently "hold still unless you want there to be an unfortunate accident tonight"
Serena looked down at the knife he held and shook her head frightened of his ability as he slid the blade across her warm skin. She stood there looking down watching as he moved the knife against her skin, knowing he had the ultimate control over her. If she moved even half an inch the sharp blade would cut her.
She tried to hold her breath in trying to stay still as possible, but inside she was quivering, until finally he took the knife away and looked to her shaking his head telling her with a grin "I wouldn't move, you see Serena you are mine to control and do with as I please. You know that don't you"
She nodded her head the only way to answer him and silently wondered what kind of life she had resigned herself to now and what tortures he would come up with next as he raised the knife up to her throat causing her not to breathe and then lowered it down to her chest and cut away the straps of her corset as it fell down to the floor he looked to her with a grin stating "I never like this one that much anyhow"
Serena looked to him with her eyes wide full of fear of the knife and the man who was holding it and what he planned to do with her.
He looked to her and took a step back seeing the distrust, the frightened look enter into her eyes and then took a deep breath and lowered himself in front of her as he dropped the knife to the floor and pushed it away to her great relief.
He looked to her seeing the expectation and the awareness of him in her eyes and reached out knowing he could take control another way and grabbed hold of her legs firmly with both hands pushing them further apart and stuck his tongue inside of her as his hands came and took hold of her thighs spreading them further apart for deeper penetration.
Serena felt the heat building inside of her again unlike before it was everywhere, but she could do nothing, but stand there as he licked every ounce of fluid from inside of her. He took one finger and reached behind her inserting it up her behind as he stuck his tongue deeper inside her vagina.
She closed her eyes feeling fear mixed with the deep sensations he was bringing out and knew he knew exactly what he was doing. It was slow torture with him in complete control. She needed him inside of her, but she knew he was proving his point, he could do however he pleased to her and she would do nothing, but watch him helplessly.
Finally he removed his tongue and finger from inside of her as he stood up and took a hold of her chin to face him he asked her "do you want me Serena" Only able to respond she nodded her head frantically yes.
He stood there eyeing her what he had done, what he had created out of her, but there was something in the way she looked at him that was unlike any other, something about the way she touched him and came for him that he could not satisfy his own endless need for her.
She looked to him unsure what he would do to her next as his eyes became carnivorous like a starving animal staring at a juicy piece of meat, when he quickly lowered his trousers and grabbed onto her waist with both hands and pushed himself inside her deeper.
She felt him rocking into her hard as he moved his hands and grabbed hold of her ass pushing into for further entry. She through her head back unable to do more than try to hold on as he grabbed her legs wrapping them around his waist as he grinded into her, pushing her harder and faster.
Her body felt like a rag doll as she kept getting hammered on by him, but she didn't care as she felt him inside of her pounding away into her flesh. She was on fire as he rode her mercilessly, hungrily, as the need for him grew inside of her as well.
She kept her legs wrapped tightly around him her only way of holding on as he pounded into her flesh. The rope around her wrists were constricting as she held on wanting to scream out, but unable to do as he plunged into her one final time with his own release as he came inside of her.
He pulled himself off of her removing her legs from his waist as his seamen slowly ran down her leg. He looked at her the siren that called out for him, while trying to catch his own breath and shook his head unsure what she could end up doing to him and then reached down and picked the knife back up.
Serena stood there looking down at the knife unsure what he was going to do now and then in one swift motion he cut the rope, dropping her down to the floor. He placed the knife back in its holster and then turned and walked out of the room without another word spoken.
Serena stood there rubbing her sore wrists as she slowly removed the blind fold from over her mouth. She looked to the connecting door of their rooms that he had just walked out of. She was unsure who that man was who just left her was, but he left her feeling a chill down her spine. He had proven his point and proven it well.
