Reader is a closeted lesbian in a time where there wasn’t a word for it, and Lady Dimitrescu teaches you of the pleasures women can give each other.

Excerpt:

Biting your lip, you straighten your tidy apron, make sure the black uniform buttons are done up to your white lace collar, and check for scuffs on your shoes. When nothing is out of place, you take a deep breath and knock.

Lady Dimitrescu beckons you in and the door creaks, but she continues writing on the documents before her. She’s in the custom-built, red chair behind her mahogany desk, and her cream-white dress flows from her like the tendrils of smoke rising from her ashtray. The hearth roars, fogging up the large window panes, and water droplets reflect in sparkles of orange as they run down the glass.

With a firm grip on the brass doorknob and a waver in your words, you ask, “Did you need me, my Lady?”

Her lip twitches on the side as she looks up from her work. She raises an eyebrow before she smirks, and her teasing words are ones you’ve heard dozens of times, but they seep into you with invigorating temptation. “Did you have something to offer?”

The blush that rises in your cheeks is not new, and you still have no clue what you could ever give her, but, oh, do you wish to offer it. Whatever it is.

“Anything,” you whisper.
