*** I had finished my job for the day, and as lady Patricia said I also received where I would be staying, I entered inside to find a dimly lit room, with a small bed on the floor, a tiny window for ventilation and a small wood table, it held the bare necessities needed, and if I were to be honest it was better than my home back in shore, slaves like us were not paid , only the maids were , you can only be freed as a slave when a beast man chooses you to be a concubine, but I know it wasn't easy because we humans were mostly overlooked.
*** I had settled well with my chores, it's been three months since I came to Edon , the central city of malock, I have come to learn a few things but also the harsh realities of being a slave, we were mostly killed from the slightest mistakes, a maid was once killed for not changing a lord's water for bath on time.
*** I had been keeping my head down and avoiding problems, lady Patricia I had come to understand was a strict woman, who took her job serious but also looked out for the maids under her, I had also heard of the kings temper that knew no boundaries, which was why no body prayed to be assigned to his building, Madeline lady Patricia has asked for you , palm a maid called out to me, and I followed her to met lady Patricia.
*** Madeline, you would be taking over Cecilia's job from today, you are now to attend to the king, Cecilia can no longer work due to some unexpected circumstances, so you would have to take over her place, you job would be to prepare his bath every morning and help with dressing him, am I clear?, yes lady Patricia I said nervously, everyone knew working for the king was a death sentence as no one knew how exactly to please the beast, I had heard of his intimidating figure and taunting eyes, and since coming here I had avoided any thing that would bring me close to the man.
*** I walked with lady Patricia as we entered the kings building, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, the colours painted on the walls were so mundane and dull, and the hall were dark and eerie, I walked closely behind lady Patricia lest I landed in trouble,until we stoped in front of the large door , with a knock she opened the door and I walked in with her.
*** i have been trying to get some sleep as my insomnia had worsened in months, I knew everyone in the palace was at edge with the way I often lost my temper recently, until a knock came in my room and Patricia walked in with the new slave who would be serving me, the last one who was stupid to think that she would come to have me, because I slept with her, I looked up to look at them , and asked Patricia to leave as I stared at the human, I recognized her, the one Adrian had recently bought from the auction house.
*** he had asked lady Patricia to leave , standing alone Infront of the infamous king of malock, the pureblooded beast who was rumored to be ruthless and merciless, I felt weak and nervous, I knew he could smell my fear and could hear my fast beating heart.
*** It worsened more when he asked me to come closer, my feet felt so heavy to lift,but the fear I felt pioneered my body to move closer to him, look at me he said , and I lifted my eye to look at his face, his appearance was what I never expected, he looked nothing like the beasts I had come to see in the few months I had come to work in this palace, who was handsome, to a point I felt he looked unearthly, peircing golden eyes stared back at me, his face one that could rival the beauty of women, long brown hair that cascaded down to his shoulders.
**** what's your name? came his voice that was sounded contrary to his look, Madeline I said rubbing my palms against each other nervously, remove my cloths he said as he stood up to reveal his height that made me feel small .
*** I walked closer to him, I placed my hands on his shoulders to remove his robe and his scent attacked my nostrils, he smelt like a mix of woods and flowers, as I removed his robe , my eyes came to look on his bare chests, that made me think for a minute how it would feel to touch it but immediately scolded my self as I schooled my face.
*** I looked down at his pants wondering if I was meant to remove it too, why did you stop he said and I could hear the irritation that accompanied his words , sorry my king I said as I hurriedly removed his pants to look trying to keep my eyes away from his member.
*** it was my first time being so close to a man, talk more of a beast , who happens to be the king, prepare my bath he said and I hurried into the washroom to do so.
*** her hands felt like a calming lotion immediately she touched me, I felt my entire tensed muscles relax, and I felt relieved something I hadn't felt in months, and immediately she removed her hands I felt irritated that she did, I saw as the tips of her ear turned pink.
*** the maids who served me before often stared down there , till I would bark at them to have their minds back to doing their duties, but this one in particular felt afraid of it, which for a second I found ammusing.
I rushed into his washroom immediately to prepare his bath, and breathed out immediately, the beast was too intimidating, I poured water into his tub, added the available flowers on the basket provided and rushed out to tell him it was ready.
*** I sat inside the bathtub as the slave Madeline washed me, her hands felt so soft, she had washed my body completely avoiding my shaft, I knew she did it intentionally but I also didn't know why I felt like teasing the human, wash my body properly Madeline I said figuring she would get my message.
