Gina's Education (17 page)

Doc spoke again, “She hasn’t been fed regularly. I don’t know how long or how much damage has been done. We are taking her to the hospital as a Jane Doe and see to her needs. I can tell you one thing for sure; she will need a neck brace after the wrenching he gave her by the stairs.”

“Good. I’ll get things ready on this end.” Then he turned to the woman on the table, “You are in good hands,” he told her. She actually smiled. He took her hand and said, “When you are up to it, I have a job here for you. You don’t have to go back to him.”

Tears filled her eyes; a glimmer of a smile on her lips forming the words, “Thank you.”

After the ambulance came and took them to the hospital, Rose realized one person remained in the lounge waiting. It was Jodi’s husband.

“Robert! I wanted to stay long enough to thank you. I’ve heard so many good things about this place once I got over the shock that Jodi used to work here. I wanted to meet you.”

“Jodi is a wonderful girl with great potential. She just needed to tap into it.”

“She took her time telling me about this place. She tied me up so I had to listen!” Both men laughed at this. “But when she finished telling me about her past and how you helped her get on her feet, I had to agree the past wasn’t so important.”

Rose smiled at the idea, too. It seemed funny to imagine her tying him up to make him listen to the story of her working in this place, but it had merit. He might have run out the door before he got the whole picture!

Shaking Robert’s hand, he continued, “I know she has thanked you, but I don’t know if you will ever understand just how much you did for her. She is so grateful. So am I.”

After he left, Rose asked, “What did you do for her, Master Robert?”

He grinned at her and said, “I taught her discipline. Then I suggested she go to school with the money she’d earned. She did the rest.”

From what Rose had learned since Jodi had been at the manor, and what she learned at the party tonight, there was a lot more going on in this place than most people would guess!

As they climbed the stairs, Rose said, “I don’t believe he was on the guest list, Master. How did he get it?”

“I’m not sure,” he answered, “but I’ll certainly find out!”

She had one more question. “What job will you give the woman who got hurt tonight?”

“Well, I think we should interview her first, don’t you?” She nodded, and he added, “I suspect we’ll put her on the household staff.”

When they finally retired for the night, Rose had some questions for her Master. “Master, why would that nasty man bring his wife here wearing only a collar?” She’d seen several other women wearing a collar, but they usually had clothing on, at least until they got to the playrooms.

“There is no explanation for that kind of man. Hopefully, his wife can be retrained and live a productive life.” Rose was trying to figure out how to ask about the choker. Robert sensed something bothering her. “What’s on your mind, my dear?”

“Something Maddie said. She thinks there is some significance to the choker you gave me.”

“Ah! So that’s it!” He flashed her that wonderful smile of his and said, “She’s right. I wondered if you were aware of what it meant.”

“Apparently not, Master.”

“Do you remember the first day of your training? I told you that you would submit to me, and you agreed.” Rose nodded. “That gave me permission to treat you as my sub. I have to say, I feel differently toward you than any other sub, and I wanted you all for myself. That’s why I have been careful about who I put you with in the playrooms.”

Rose blushed, but she wasn’t sure why. She didn’t know what to say, but the look on her face told him just how grateful she was for that.

Robert continued, “It truly is your choice to be my sub, but I feel we have a connection. I will not think less of you if you do not want this. In fairness, I should have asked you.”

“Oh, Master! I am honored! I would have agreed if I’d known what it was about!”

He put his arm around her and held her close, and neither of them could stop smiling. They took off their Halloween costumes. The makeup took some effort to remove, but then they got into the shower. Rose shampooed his hair and soaped his back, lingering on his backside. His smile kept her going. She soaped his chest and slid her hands down his belly. His breath came in ragged bursts as she manipulated his family jewels. She took his manly member in her hands and massaged him to full length.

As much as he appreciated this attention, he stopped her after a while and shampooed her hair and massaged her scalp. “It is amazing how relaxing that feels,” she crooned.

He grinned and continued his attentions with the soap all over her body. She moaned in contentment and he moved them closer to the showerhead to rinse. He pushed her back up against the wall and took her hands in his own. He held her hands over her head in one hand and explored her opening with the other.

Their tongues met in a long kiss and their breathing became very heavy. He lowered his head to taste her nipples. As he suckled, her head fell back and she groaned in contentment while he located her pleasure nub. He rubbed faster, faster, bringing her to a climax. Her hips responded with forward thrusts. Using his fingers, he guided his tool inside her, matching the thrusts of her hips, and pounding her back against the wall of the shower.

It didn’t take long to bring her to another orgasm, timing it to his apex. Rose screamed as they climaxed together squeezing him tight. They finished rinsing, holding each other, feeling fulfilled.

Robert held her close and teased, “You screamed.”

Rose smiled up at him. “Did I, Master?

Robert was up early and already in the study when Rose came down. He was on the phone with Paul who gave him the name of the woman and the drunk who had brought her to the party. “The woman’s sister was invited to the party last night, but she couldn’t get off work. The brother-in-law stole the invitation after getting drunk.” Robert related this information to Rose. “There isn’t much we can do about families who steal from each other. This one will be experiencing a separation, though. The woman last night – Teresa – is officially dead. She will arrive here tomorrow and be renamed. I hope she can make the best of a new start.”

Rose was just watching him. She was so proud of this man using his power for good. She shook her head and grinned. The Halloween theme must be influencing her, because she was thinking of him as a super hero.

“You know, if it weren’t for that party last night, this woman might really be dead. Things do seem to work out the way they should, don’t you think?”

Rose couldn’t agree more.

They headed out to the kitchen to have breakfast. The weather had started dreary and was now pouring rain.

They were finishing their coffee when Perkins came in to tell them about a visitor. She didn’t wait to be announced, though.

“Robert! I just got a call from the jail. That useless brother-in-law of mine says my sister is dead! He told me to get him a lawyer and dig up bail money – what’s going on?”

Robert met her by the door and put his arms around her. “I’m so sorry, Isabelle. I wasn’t thinking – of course he would turn to you.” He held the sobbing woman close and whispered in her ear, “Your sister isn’t dead.” She started to react and he said, “Shhh… It’s a secret.”

The woman’s eyes grew huge and her lips tight. She just nodded and hugged him back, whispering, “Thank you.”

“She’s been badly treated, though.”

“I know. I couldn’t get her to leave. She was too afraid.”

“We will help her, Isabelle, but you’ll have to go along with her ‘death’ to protect her.”

“Anything you say, Robert. Thank you so much!”

“What are you going to do about your brother-in-law?”

Isabelle looked determined, but she smiled and said, “I can’t deal with him – I’m too distraught.” She turned to leave and added, “He can rot in hell for what he’s done to my sister!”

Rose took Mrs. Parker to see the bedroom suite where her fiancé would be staying. “Won’t I be staying in here, too?”

“Well, since he is your fiancé, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?” Rose asked.

The question flustered the woman. “Well where will I stay?”

Rose had anticipated this; Robert told her to take this direction. “I’ve only redone the one room,” she said, “but I’m sure we can find another guest room for you.”

“I never thought about staying in another room until the wedding.” Just as Robert expected – she wanted them to be together. “Maybe I could use the sitting room?” When she saw the quizzical look on Rose’s face, she said. “Yes, the coronation is for a wedding. Do you have a Bishop’s costume?”

“No, ma’am, I don’t! I’ll check into it, though, so don’t worry about it. I’ll make sure the sleeping arrangements work out, too.” She led the woman down the back stairs to the Throne Room and she was thrilled with that arrangement.

“Mistress Rose, you’ve outdone yourself with all these decorations! This is exquisite!”

Next, they went to the Dungeon. It took her breath away! “Oh! OH!” was all she got out at first. She went over to the stocks and placed her hands in the holes. “This is so exciting!”

Rose smiled at the woman. “Have you ever tried anything like this before?”

“No, not really, dear. My first husband did occasionally like to spank me.” She blushed and spoke confidentially, “I really loved that!”

The women went back to the suite for the costume fitting.

*****

Rose showed the older woman what she had found for gowns for her. “Mrs. Parker, this is Stephanie, our seamstress.”

As they shook hands, she said, “Call me Lacy, dear.”

Lacy appeared a bit disappointed, though no one really knew what she had in mind before the gowns were obtained. She helped the older woman into her chemise. It was gathered at the neck into a ruffle, and the huge sleeves were gathered into shirring from the elbow down. It was really quite elegant. “It looks like a nightgown! I thought my dress would be more regal!” she complained. “Is this the gown for the wedding?”

“No ma’am,” Stephanie said through the pins in her mouth, “this is your everyday dress.” She put the velvet dress on her over the chemise, lacing up the front under the bodice, supporting her breasts within the chemise. “There! See how beautiful you look?”

Lacy turned around and looked in the mirror; she made a strange face while she tried to hold back a giggle. Rose and Stephanie were also holding their breath, because the effect of this outfit on Lacy’s plump body wasn’t what they expected.

She finally spoke; “I look like Cinderella’s Fairy God Mother!” None of them could hold back the giggles after that!

Next they showed her the corset she would wear with the wedding gown. “Oh, my! How will I get that on?”

Stephanie answered, “I’ll be acting as your lady in waiting. I’ll be getting you in and out of your clothes. Do you have a hairdresser?”

“Oh, yes, dear. My sister-in-law will help me with my hair.”

As they fitted her, she faced away from the mirror. She turned around to see her wedding gown and was overwhelmed by the gorgeous gown.

“What a difference a corset makes!” A few moments later she heard Stephanie tell her, “Breathe, Lacy!”

“OH! Stephanie, it is beautiful!” The full-length chemise was made from fine ivory muslin with a delicately beaded applique in the center front. The trim on the neck and cuffs was a scalloped tatting trim, with added upper and lower arm bracers. The overdress was made from beautiful gold brocade and elaborately trimmed to perfection. The front has a clasp and that met right under the bust line.

“You really do look the part of visiting Royalty,” Rose told her. Lacy just beamed

Robert was chatting with Glen Morris, and he could see right away that the man wasn’t happy about the upcoming weekend. “Tell me, what do you want out of this event?”

The man groaned, “I don’t want anything to do with it! I don’t know why she is going to all this trouble when we could just get a JP to do the job!”

In the tone one might ask about the weather, Robert asked about their sex life. Glen looked shocked, and then he laughed out loud! “I don’t usually discuss my sex life, sir.”

“You don’t seem to realize what kind of company this is, which is what I feared.” Seeing only confusion on the man’s face, he continued, “We offer the opportunity for greater sexual gratification.” Waiting for his words to sink in, he added, “and your wife-to-be has desires…”

“I thought she was straight as an arrow… Why didn’t she tell me? I am open minded…” he looked completely stunned. After a moment, though, he brightened and asked, “What is on the agenda for the weekend?”

Robert chuckled and answered, “Not entirely what she planned! She would have you in the dungeon where she comes to rescue you and take you to her room. We have some surprises for her and I think you will both be pleased!”

“First,” he explained, “instead of being crowned King and Queen, you’ll be knighted. You’ll be just back from a war, victorious!” He leaned forward with a twinkle in his bright blue eyes and asked, “Now, do you fancy rescuing your ‘Maid Marion’ from the dungeon, or do you see yourself ‘Taming the Shrew’?”

Glen Morris threw his head back and laughed heartily. “I’m not sure! Given those choices, it’s hard to pick!” Both men were still laughing when the ladies joined them.

A bemused Mrs. Parker asked, “What’s so funny?” She was pretty sure her intended was ready to bail on the whole idea when they arrived at the manor, and now took heart that maybe he would indeed enjoy this adventure.

Glen spoke first. “It seems, my sweet, that you have been holding out on me. You led me to believe that this event was a command performance.”

They all waited with baited breath; he had thrown down the gauntlet! Mrs. Parker, flustered for a moment, relied on her usual bluster to cover her consternation. “It is!” she answered. “I’ve paid good money for us to have a special time, and you’d better put on a happy face and enjoy it!” It was her armor, the only way she knew to save face. When she put on this demanding face, no one could hurt her. It was a long-practiced method, and not easily shed.
