Time stood still. Excruciatingly slow…
There she lay stark naked alongside her equally naked lover, as Cassandra grinned at them with a sadistic expression on her face, even more so than usual. Marlin hadn't yet noticed, still basking in the afterglow of their pleasurable encounter just minutes before. Once he did finally turn around and saw the middle Dimitrescu standing next to their bedside, all color drained from his face and his blood ran cold.
Cassandra's signature grin was upon them, her eyes gazing at both their naked forms.
"I see you've been withholding a lot from us dear sister" Cassandra said, pure sarcasm filling every word she said.
Bela didn't reply, she couldn't, she hardly knew what to say. In her lust filled daze from the past few days she hadn't taken much notice whether or not Cassandra or Daniela had looked at her differently than normal. Daniela was her usual upbeat and impulsive self, and Cassandra was well….Cassandra.
"Cat got your tongue sis," Cassandra spoke moving her face closer to Bela's "or should I say that the manthing has got you tongue tied."
Marlin had no response, he wanted to run away, or disappear into nothing. Anything but to be here in this very compromising and borderline deadly situation.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity of silence, Bela spoke up.
"What I do in my private time and who I spend it with is none of your concern Cassandra, now get out of my room!" she yelled.
Cassandra chuckled at that, their sibling banter was often fought over the smallest things, as siblings tended to do. But this? Oh this went above so much more than what they could ever fight over. Even that time they had a fight over who would get the last drop of blood from a poor lost traveler that had wandered into the castle looking for shelter.
The middle Dimitrescu sister looked her sister dead in the eye, not giving Marlin a second glance.
"Oh you want me to leave dear sister?," she asked sarcastically "and on my way I might tell mother and Daniela what has been happening here. How you have been riding the manslave's cock, and not just that, you also seemed to like that. Mother will probably forgive you, considering this has never happened before unlike…..well you know what happened to the last manservant I invited privately."
Marlin was barely hearing anything about this conversation, too stuck in his own head with thoughts of imminent despair to pay attention to the conversation between the sisters.
"The manslave however," Cassandra spoke, giggling softly as she did "well I don't think mother will be very happy hearing this, she will probably string him up by his balls and relieve him of all his blood before cutting him up into small pieces. You know like she did with the last guy, ah that was a fun night."
Bela was fuming, angry for allowing this to happen, and positively mad at her sister for what she just said.
"You wouldn't dare" Bela said through gritted teeth, trying to restrain herself. Her hand found Marlin's and squeezed, bringing him out of his thoughts as he looked at their entwined hands. What was this? Did she want comfort? Did she want him to restrain her or something?
The anger was visible on her face. Her scowl as unlike what he had seen before. He had never truly seen Bela mad, just mostly annoyed or grinning, but never outright mad. She threatened him on multiple occasions or even yelled at him, but she never showed anger in a terrifying or ugly matter. Cassandra was the most violent one for sure, she left no stone unturned when it came to her cruel and sadistic methods. And Daniela was an impulsive wildcard who mostly followed what her sisters did.
Simply put, Cassandra was the one you needed to stay away from, she was the most dangerous. And she was standing right before them, having caught them in this very compromising position.
"Oh you know I would sister," Cassandra said as she glanced over at Marlin for the first time, eyes him up and down and stopping at his impressive but now soft member "I mean unless we can come to an…agreement" she placed big emphasis on that last part.
She crawled over to the bed, past her sister and looked straight at Marlin, who was trying to remain stoic but was breaking down inside. "No wonder you kept this to yourself dear sister. I had no idea he was this muscled and….well endowed" she licked her lips as she said this, giving his member a close long look before eyes him up to his muscled chest and stoic face, whose façade was startling to slip.
"Hmmm" Cassandra bubbled dreamily "I wouldn't mind getting a taste of this manslave, now that he has fucked you so thoroughly," she placed a finger on his chest as she said the next part "I hope the rest of you tastes as delicious as your blood." Then she licked the side of his face.
What happened next, seemed to happen in slow motion.
Marlin suddenly felt Cassandra's tongue go off him and the black haired woman was flung of the bed at an impressive speed, hitting the ground with a thud as the naked Bela jumped on top of her, pinning her arms down and literally scowling at her younger sister.
"MINE!," she almost roared "He's mine!".
Cassandra dispersed into a swarm of flies underneath her and fled, only for Bela to do the same. All Marlin saw for the next few moments where many flies around the room crashing into each other, it was impossible to tell which was which, to which sister they belonged.
Eventually the forms manifested as Cassandra was pinned against the bedframe by Bela.
Marlin looked up at the sisters. Bela was furious at her younger sister, Cassandra seemed unbothered by the fact that her sister had beaten her in this fight. She was still grinning ear to ear. After all, she did hold all the cards.
"So you don't want to share your little sex toy dear sister, but we always shared him before for other things, why not this too?" Cassandra asked sarcastically.
Bela couldn't think of an answer to that. She had no idea what made her want Marlin more. She thought it might have been just his blood and the feeling of ecstasy he gave her every time he touched her so gently and intimately. Cassandra was no stranger to trying to "make love" with the manservants that where here, only her for of lovemaking wasn't the typical kind, nothing you wouldn't expect from her, but still it was out of the ordinary even by Bela's standards.
Maybe it was Marlin's resilient character that got to her. For years he had served them without so much as a peep or a plea. Maybe after that first taste she just couldn't get enough? The man had something in his veins? Something that made everything feel better.
And she didn't want to share that, not with anyone.
Especially her dear sister, who would waste no time in taking everything she wanted as soon as she could.
"He is mine. End of discussion! Now get out!" Bela threw Cassandra on the ground again furiously. Her mind was clouded in anger and she was fighting her sister for a manservant.
Cassandra got off, dusted her dress off and gave off a flirty look at Marlin.
"I'll make you a deal. At midnight tonight you come to me and let me have my fun. Or I will tell mother and neither of us can have him" that last part was aimed at Bela. Cassandra then disappeared into a swarm of flies and flew out of the room, closing the door behind them with a loud thud.
Bela growled angrily at herself, putting her head into her hands.
What was she gonna do? For all she knew Cassandra could be bluffing. But was that a risk she was willing to take? She didn't want to share Marlin. Cassandra would make him suffer for sure. Why was she worried about that? He was just a manslave after all! But why did she feel so conflicted about it.
Her thoughts where numbed by a pair of arms around her shoulder.
"Miss Bela are you okay?" Marlin asked her softly.
She looked up at him and saw his concerning blue pearls of eyes. She never truly got a good look at his eyes. They were a beautiful ocean blue.
"Silly manslave, so concerned about me" she said somewhat condescendingly as she placed her hands around his cheeks. She leaned in for a kiss, something he reciprocated.
As their lips parted, Bela looked almost concerned at him. Was she worried about Cassandra's threat. Maybe it was a bluff?
But this was Cassandra we were talking about.
"Marlin," Bela said, surprising him as he only heard his name uttered by her during sex and not outside "I cannot allow you to go to Cassandra. You will not survive that, I don't want you to suffer the same fate as the last person she tried it with."
Marlin gulped, he shouldn't ask what he wanted to ask. But curiosity is a silent killer.
"What happened to him. How bad can it be?
"Well," Bela started biting her lip "I don't know the details but let's just say he couldn't walk anymore and he lost his entire right hand and part of his ear."
Marlin felt his heart rate drop as he heard this. He knew Cassandra's sadism knew no bounds and if being her lover meant you'd get tortured in ways you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy, then he was sure even the horniest virgin in the world wouldn't take that offer if they knew what it entailed.
Still in his head he was weighing the options. And honestly; there where none. Even if she was bluffing, she now knew their secret and could tell Lady Dimitrescu any minute, if she had not done so already, at which point his life could be ended literally any second now. Her offer was a dreadful idea, hidden behind the façade of a possible intimate lovemaking.
Even if Marlin had never ended up in the situation he was in right now which included long sexual escapades with Bela, he would never consider Cassandra as someone he would be intimate with for the sheer reason that she was plain terrifying. Sweet but a psycho was the proper description of her.
He could ponder all he wanted. But the cards where on the table completely open. There was no real choice in the end.
Nothing new for him, Marlin thought. The last five years he literally had no choice in anything.
"I'll do it!" Marlin said suddenly. With quite an array of confidence.
"What!" Bela exclaimed "are you out of your mind you stupid manslave," she said as she slept the back of his head "going along with Cassandra will cause you nothing but pain."
"And if I don't I'm dead. There is no choice here Miss Bela. We can't risk her bluffing about this, so if I don't adhere to her wishes you will lose me! The choice is up to you."'
He held her hands softly, looking into her amber eyes, her beautiful amber eyes.
Bela still held all the strings, strings she didn't want to share with her sister. Marlin was wrong in her eyes, there were two options. Share the strings with her younger sister after all, or cut the string entirely so nobody held anything.
Her pride was set on that, set on keeping Marlin and his addictive qualities for herself or nobody would have it. But her heart seemed to betray her pride for her desires. Desires to great, that nobody in years could seem to satisfy. Nobody except this unassuming unexpected manservant that seemed to become more to her with each time they shared the bed.
She held Marlin's hands tightly, still unsure and uncertain. But in the end Marlin made up his mind. For the first time in five years he was planning to make a decision that was only his own.
