Paula's POV
We arrived at the Midford Estate at about three o'clock in the morning. We were all very tired, it was evident on everyone's faces. I, upholding my Midford servant duties, made sure everyone was happy with their rooms. I put Lady Elizabeth to bed first. She fell asleep with no difficulties tonight. Before I left the room she muttered to me "Paula, thank you for being here for me, today. I would be all alone if it wasn't for you." I smiled. I had come to really think of Elizabeth like my own daughter. I had hoped that if I did have a daughter, she would be like Elizabeth. Bubbly, sweet, happy, and adorable. My mind reflected back to Claude. I placed a kiss on Elizabeth's forehead. "I will be by your side forever, my lady." I said, turning out the light.
I made sure everything is Mrs. Midford's room was up to her high standards. I fluffed her pillows, changed her sheets, ironed her sleep ware, rolled her hair, set a glass of ice water beside her bed, and set her Friday slippers by the bed. Mrs. Midford was a woman of very high maintenance. "That will be all, Paula. Now make sure our guest are of the upmost comfortable." Mrs. Midford said. "Yes, ma'am." I said, hurrying out of the room. Claude had taken care of Alois, despite his injuries. So I went to take care of Sebastian. "How are you feeling, Sebastian." I asked him. "I will manage, thank you for the concern, Paula." He said his glistening eyes fixed in my direction.
"How are you?" Sebastian asked. "Oh, well, I'm as well as expected I suppose. Given the awful circumstances." I said. It felt weird talking to Sebastian after the things I had heard. "You seem to be quite distant, even toward Claude. I can see in his face that he is slightly worried. So I was just seeing if you are alright. I think of us as friends after all." Sebastian said staring intently at me. "Yes, indeed we are good friends. I...just have a lot on my mind. Something else has taken precedence on my mind tonight." I said, feeling as if I was talking too much. I was just so overwhelmed, I honestly did want to talk about what I was feeling.
"Oh, may I ask what?" Sebastian asked to my horror. I'm not the best liar so this would be difficult. "Ummm...well, I've just been hearing things that have been bothering me." I said, thinking hard as to what I would say next. "What type of things and from who?" Sebastian said moving closer to me. "Well...I've been hearing from other servants in the area that Claude is quite the...ladies man." I said praying that Sebastian would believe me. It had sounded like a huge lie even to me. Sebastian was quiet for a while. I was sure I had been found out. Then suddenly Sebastian let out a large laugh.
He laughed for at least a minute before speaking again. "Oh, Paula please forgive me for laughing. But someone has just been telling tales. I have known Claude for a while now and I've never seen him with many women. Every relationship he has ever had has been serious and lasted quite a while. He's never been a man to have wild affairs. You have nothing to worry about, Claude is not going anywhere. He's absolutely mad for you." Sebastian said to me. Oddly it made me feel really happy. Even though he could be lying to me, it seemed genuine. "Alright thank you, Sebastian. Good night, I hope you sleep well." I said leaving the room.
Sebastian POV
Paula was an awful liar. It was hilarious. I could tell that she had learned something she shouldn't have. Claude better watch out, his little lover could get him in trouble. She was obviously suspicious that Claude was doing something deceitful. I didn't think she knew about his true origin. But perhaps she had found out about some of his wrong doings. I think I have found the answer to my little ninety six hour problem. Thank you Paula.
Paula POV
I was in the kitchen washing the dishes, trying to get my thoughts together. Then out of the corner of my eye I see Claude come in. I took a deep breath as I braced myself to deal with him once again. "Would you like some help?" Claude asked me. "Oh, no you're a guest. Please you should be resting as well." I said. He walked beside me and took the plate from me. "You've always assisted me at my manor, I can only return the favor. Also as a butler it's against my nature not to clean." He said drying the dishes. So we cleaned the dishes together, in silence. " Paula." Claude said. "Yes?" I answered. "I feel a great distance between the two of us. Early this evening you were confessing your love for me, now you seem disgusted by me." He said a slight pain in his voice.
"Oh no! It's not like that at all. I do love you, with my whole heart and soul. It's just that..." I said lowering my head. "It's just what? Please talk to me." Claude said. "I'm just not feeling like myself. I feel empty inside." I said wishing I could just go to sleep until all of this was over. "Then please let me make it all better." Claude said, grasping my waist and pushing me against the sink. "Claude..." I barely let out a whisper, before our lips met. I wanted to not want it. But I couldn't resist him. I wrapped my arms around him and opened my mouth to allow him to explore. He accepted my invitation and began rubbing his hands all over my body, making me feel so warm.
I untucked his shirt and let my hands and fingers glide over his sculpted chest and abs. I let my fingers trace lightly over his stitches. He's hands gripped my backside firmly. He began to kiss and nibble on my neck, it felt indescribable. He stopped suddenly then whispered in my ear "Can we go up to your room?" His breath in my ear was warm and seductive.
I knew I shouldn't. I couldn't. I wouldn't. He was lying to me. I couldn't trust him. "Yes." My heart had decided not to listen to my brain anymore. Claude picked me up and kissed me all the way up the stairs to my room. He opened and closed the door. He gently threw me on the bed. He locked the door. He stripped from his shirt and straddle me. Kissing me from my lips to my chest. Then he started to unbutton my blouse. I squirmed slightly under him. He entwined our hands to comfort me. I began to relax. He slid all of my clothes from my body. Then began to unbuckled his pants. He looked at me and said." Are you sure you want this?" "Yes, just please be gentle ,this is my first time." I said quietly. Claude nodded and for the rest of the night Claude and I were wrapped in deep lust.
