Chapter Nine

Chapter Nine

Walking into what was clearly Cole’s bedroom. I had to take a minute to take it all in. It was so large and .. extravagant. A massive four-poster bed was in the centre of the room, but on the left of the doorway was a seating area, all focused around an old stone fireplace. That seemed a bit over the top to have in a bedroom, but.. Cole seemed like an ‘’over the top’’ kind of guess, I suppose. 

To the right was a large floor to ceiling wall that led out to what looked like a balcony. Belle disappeared into a side room and I took the chance to go and have a look at what the view was like... 

It was the first time I had seen outside in what already seemed like a very long time. 

Belle came back into the room, carrying two buckets of water and passed one to me. 

‘Master Cole is very particular, Normally only I am allowed to clean in here’. Ok, that’s weird but fair enough. ‘Can you do the bathroom?’ I nodded and she pointed to the door she had just come through. That was it, she didn’t say anymore, she just started her job. I carried the bucket back into the bathroom and put it down.

Looking around, everything looked so, so clean already. My pride wanted me to protest and refused to do anything, but my common sense knew if I didn’t... God knows what would happen, Look at the damage he had already done internally to me... The overwhelming pain I felt… and Now it was like it didn’t even happen... 

It definitely wasn’t something I wanted to experience again. 

I didn’t even know where to start, considering it was already clean, but decided to clean the sink first and set about doing that. 

****

I wasn’t sure how long it had been since I had started my task of cleaning an already clean bathroom, but Belle poked her head around the door and told me she was going to go and get some more cleaning supplies. I just told her ‘’ok’’ and she vanished again. 

Throwing the sponge into the bucket, I sat down on the edge of the bath and let out a loud sigh. This was only day one and I already knew I couldn’t do this for the rest of my life. It's insane. My head dropped into my hands and I had to breathe deeply a few times, calming myself. Everything was just... So intense. 

'Were you given permission for a break, slave?' I jumped up so fast in surprise that I lost my footing and slipped on the floor, sending me flying backwards. I squeezed my eyes closed and waited for the no doubt painful thump of my body meeting the ground... But it never came. 

Opening my eyes again, I was met with bright blue ones. 

He had caught me. 

'T-thank you' I told him shyly, not wanting to actually admit that I was grateful. He let me go and stepped away. 'Um... Belle went to get more cleaning stuff so..' I trailed off. The look on his face told me he didn't care what I had to say and sure enough, with not even another word to me, he turned and left the bathroom. 

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. Clearly, he lacked manners but demanded them from others. Typical. 

'Ginny, I'm back!' Belle called to me, I walked over to the door and looked out. Cole was sitting down on the sofa near the fireplace, Reading something. A book maybe? 'Oh, master, forgive me, I didn't see you sat there' she bowed her head and he just waved her off, seemingly not bothered. She carried on about her business, continuing her job. It wasn't until he looked up at me that I realised I was staring and ducked back into the bathroom to hide from him. 

More time had passed and I hadn’t heard either Belle or Cole in a while. I had hoped that he had left. I had finished the bathroom, but Belle hadn’t come in to give me another job, so I crept over to the open doorway and peered out. 

As soon as I did, my eyes widened in horror at what I saw. 

Cole was still sitting on the sofa, but Belle was on her knees in front of him, blowing him. I was just.. Frozen in shock. I tried to look away, but I couldn’t. No wonder they were so bloody quiet. 

‘Change my bedsheets’. Cole ordered, At first I thought he was talking to Belle... Until his head rolled around and he looked at me. ‘I’m talking to you’. I dropped my gaze instantly. ‘What’s wrong? Never seen someone receive it before?’ I didn’t answer him. 

‘I-I don’t know where the sheets are’. He sighed and grabbed a fist full of Belle’s hair, putting her head up. 

‘You’re not satisfying me. Go and get my sheets’. He told her harshly. She did as she was told and vanished out of the room again. ‘You, come here’. Pushing away the urge to scream at him (again) I walked over to him... But I still kept my distance. 

‘Yes?’ I certainly wasn’t going to call him ‘’Master’’. 

‘How are you giving head?’ Was he for real? I didn’t answer, but I’m guessing the clear disgust look on my face answered for me. I stood up and smirked, His hand wrapped around himself. I tried not to look but when it was right in front of me, It was hard not to at least take a sneaky peek. As soon as I did, I instantly regretted it, the smirk on his face told me he had seen me looking. 

I felt so uncomfortable and awkward, he just laughed. 

‘You’re so pathetic. He told me. I looked at him, my eyes, once again widening in surprise. 

‘Excuse me? How dare you!’ I snapped and then regretted it instantly. Belle walked back into the room at that moment and I felt relieved, Until; 

‘Belle. Leave’. She shared a look between the two of us. ‘NOW!’. He screamed. She threw me an apologetic look, put the sheets on the side and quickly left again, closing the door behind her. 

Well.. this ain’t fucking good…
