DARIUS POV"Is there anything else, Rocky?" Darius inquired, his hands ruffling his hair as he pondered the dreadful news brought to him by his assistant and head bodyguard. "No, sir, that's all." "All right, then. Arrange the payments, schedules, and..." The door to the office burst open, and in walked Delilah in all her splendor, accompanied by two ladies dressed provocatively. Darius drew his gaze back towards Rocky, his hands lifting in a dismissive wave, and the hefty man, getting the jibe, quickly bowed his head and exited the office. Now, it was just him and the three fiery red-haired ladies standing in the silent room.It had been days since he’d seen Delilah.Darius had barely had time to attend to the other submissives these past few days while taking over Brielle's training. Noticing Delilah's expression, he could already guess why she was here, as it coincided with his thoughts. Darius stood up instantly, his weight lifting as he arranged himself straight, his jaw t
MADELINE’S POVMadeline entered Lady Delilah's chambers by pushing open the large door. The woman had summoned her, and now she was here. Madeline closed the door behind her slowly, not wanting to make a fuss, a smile creeping up her lips at the reminder that her last visit here hadn't been in vain. She marched deeper into the room with her head held high. Her eyes scanned the luxurious four-walled room, and Madeline's smile quickly faded as she realized she wasn't the only one in the room. Lady Delilah, who was regally attired as usual, had her back to her, and there were some maids and half-clad submissives present as well. They were all staring at her, saying nothing as silence filled the room. She could count up to ten of them, and the raucous crowd sent shivers down her spine. Why had she been summoned? What was the point of this gathering? As her mind wandered, she asked herself, her hands gently pleated in front of her. Madeline cleared her throat and began to speak, bu
BRIELLE’S POVBrielle quickly arranged herself on the bed in Lord Darius's private chamber when she heard the door open. She'd been waiting for him for thirty minutes or more; she couldn't remember. Today was another night of their training, and she had dressed in the day's outfit with the assistance of the special maids assigned to her. She had prepared herself and then walked up to his room with the maids, where she had entered expecting him, but she had been surprised. The room had been cold, quiet, and empty. It was the first time she had encountered his chambers empty, and she had initially appeared scared, thinking it was one of his tricks. She'd opened the door quickly, catching sight of the maids, and explained the empty room situation to them, but they'd told her to wait for him. She had opened her mouth to ask them more questions, but they had already swiveled around, briskly walking away, leaving her alone in the empty corridor. Shoulders down, Brielle had walked ba
DARIUS’S POV“Make sure everything’s ready before Thursday.” Darius rasped out, dropping more clothes on the bed, and Rocky nodded in response.Heaving a huge sigh, he listened as Rocky continued making inquiries."We'll also need some money to..." Darius didn't let him finish because he reached into his pocket and pulled out a black express card, which he threw at Rocky, who caught it quickly. “Use that to cover any expense you need.” He rasped out the order, and Rocky nodded, a smile of satisfaction on the burly-looking guard’s face.“That would be all right?” Darius questioned again, and Rocky affirmed with a nod.His hands up, waving at him dismissively, Darius watched him leave, and then, with a sigh, he focused his attention back to the clothes on the bed.He would normally have had the maids organize his belongings, but for this impromptu trip, he wanted to do things his way. This was a trip he didn't want to take, but he had to be there not for his own sake but for the sake
BRIELLE’S POVBrielle walked down the corridor straight to her room, holding her towel and tightening her robe. She was sick of going to the public dressing room every day when her chambers had a fully equipped bathroom. It still perplexed her, but it was the order here, and she couldn't dare to disobey it. Fortunately for her, she hadn't seen Lady Delilah today in the dressing room, and that was a relief. She'd bathed thoroughly, dressed up in her robe in front of the red-haired ladies in the room, and exited the steamy enclosed space quickly. She could hear snickers and gossip from maids and submissives alike as she walked. She usually ignored them, but then she heard some words that made her stop. "There she is, Lord Darius' favorite slut for the time being." One of the submissives standing by the corridor said.Another chimed in, “She'd probably be feeling high and mighty. She rarely talks, preferring to walk past us because she considers herself superior to the rest of us.
DARIUS POVDarius was having trouble sleeping again, as he did most nights. He blinked his lids tightly as he chugged whiskey after whiskey down his throat, glancing at the large clock hanging at the top of his bed's headboard. 12:45 am…It was getting late, and the alcohol he'd been drinking nonstop wasn't luring him into the much-needed sleep he needed. He'd be out of this mansion tomorrow, or early this morning rather, on his way to sort out his business issues, and he hadn't slept a wink. Not that he would sleep on the ride, but Darius knew he needed to nap to refresh his mind. “Tchhhh…” As he stood on his feet, feeling restless, he let out a heavy hiss of disappointment. He had no idea how he got out of his room, but he was walking through the large corridor away from the room and prancing around the mansion seconds later. Darius walked down the tiled floors, barefoot, past sleeping and awake guards alike, with a bottle of whiskey in hand. Darius had no idea where he was
BRIELLE’S POVBrielle's panicked scream as her room door burst open was enough to awaken everyone who had been sleeping. She'd been restless all night, her sleep disrupted by perplexing dreams, and she couldn't even close her eyes peacefully. Worse, someone had barged into her room without knocking in the middle of the night, and she screamed in terror. She jumped out of bed, her hands fumbling, looking for the bedside lamp, but before she could turn it on, light filled the room. The stranger, whoever it was, had turned on the overhead light in the room, and she was whisked away from the darkness. She was no longer terrified, but she still had her back to the intruder and was afraid to turn around and look at the person. "You know, your fear is one thing that surprises me, but your shyness continues to perplex me." This voice, the husky sound filling the room, was one she could recognize even if she were wide asleep.It was Lord Darius, and as soon as she mentioned his name, he
DARIUS POV Her lips had a peach flavor to them.Smelt like apples and tasted like peaches, so soft and alluring he felt like munching on them and kissing her forever.His heart clenched softly as he gently caressed her hair, guiding her tongue in slow rhythmic movements as their lips danced. Darius didn't want this moment to end, and her soft moan was getting into his head, making him go insane in the worst way possible. His hand sauntering downwards, he left her hair until he was touching her shoulders, chest, and then her boobs. Darius could feel her rising nipples, and now he wanted nothing more than to rip the flimsy robe from her body and fall on her, worshiping her. He started to move, pushing her towards the small queen-sized bed, but she tore her lips away from his and asked the question that made him instantly chill. "Shouldn't we go to the training room? Or... or you know, we could go to your room if you want." She stammered out the final words, and Darius could tell s
