summary: Lady Dimitrescu enlists a maiden to help Lady Beneviento to be more assertive.
warnings: smut
You stood with the rest of the maidens in front of the stairs for Lady Dimitrescu and Lady Beneviento to inspect. Lady Dimitrescu stood tall and confident in front of you, but Lady Beneviento kept herself smaller behind her veil. You were surprised to see the smaller head of the family at the house alone. It was a rarity to see her away from her home, but it was downright unheard of for her to be alone. The doll that accompanied her everywhere, Angie, had been left behind. The nature of her visit to the Dimitrescu Castle was unknown, but you were glad that the doll had not been invited as well. You would never say it, but she made you uneasy, as did a lot about the four families.
“You can touch them if you’d like,” Lady Dimitrescu said. Donna took a step towards the line of girls that you were in and began walking as she looked at all of them. Anticipation of her choice hit you hard as she approached you. You didn’t know why, but you hoped that she would pick you. The torment you’d been enduring from the Dimitrescu daughters was nearly unbearable. You didn’t understand how anyone could stay in the house for more than a few weeks.
Lady Beneviento stopped in front of you. You kept your head up and stared straight forward, unlike some of the younger ones. Your family had done well in keeping you hidden away for the first 18 years or so of your life. Lady Dimitrescu was known for taking young daughters to keep as house staff and they didn’t tend to make it very long. The bodies were reportedly stashed somewhere under the castle. You didn’t feel like exploring and taking the risk of stumbling into a torture chamber or mass grave. Besides, the risk of snooping was not worth anything that you would find out. Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters would make sure that their secrets died in the castle and everyone knew that.
“Her. I like her.” Lady Beneviento was surprisingly soft spoken for one of the lords. You hid your shock at her voice well though, just glancing up at Lady Dimitrescu as the woman approached you. Lady Beneviento stepped away from you and looked up at Lady Dimitrescu. A large hand pulled you from the line and you were lifted into the air so that Lady Dimitrescu could inspect you up close.
“Are you sure?” Lady Dimitrescu asked Lady Beneviento. Behind her veil, there was a flash of hesitation on Lady Beneviento’s face before she remembered why she was even here in the first place. Mother Miranda expected better of her. She felt that Lady Beneviento was nothing more than a shy girl hiding behind a veil and her toys. Mother Miranda demanded more of Lady Beneviento, the lords were to be feared and respected in the village. Lady Dimitrescu was going to help Lady Beneviento utilize the full potential of her position and her power.
“Yes, that is the maiden I will take to bed,” Lady Beneviento announced confidently. Lady Dimitrescu placed you back on the ground and pushed you in the direction of Lady Beneviento. “Would you tell me your name?”
“Y/n. It is a pleasure Lady Beneviento.” You bowed down in front of her, knowing that you were to address the members of the four families with respect. Lady Beneviento looked over at Lady Dimitrescu, unsure of what to do next. She did not have maidens or staff to take care of her house, nobody was around to treat her how you were.
“Stand up!” Lady Dimitrescu’s voice boomed. You shot up and muttered an apology to Lady Beneviento. “The rest of you are dismissed to go back to your duties. We have no use for you.”
You watched as the rest of the girls scurried back to their places. Everybody was like a scared little mouse when it came to Lady Dimitrescu. You wanted to go back with the rest of them, to stay generally unnoticed. The daughters could be cruel, but you had cleaned the aftermath of one of Lady Dimitrescu’s outbursts. It was gruesome and horrible, to be ripped to shreds with no regard to what your life could have been. Perhaps with Lady Beneviento present, Lady Dimitrescu would keep her temper down.
“Take our guest to a bedroom. Whatever she asks of you will be done, do you understand?” Lady Dimitrescu asked you.
“Yes, of course milady.” You bowed your head to Lady Dimitrescu, who just shrugged the gesture off. You escorted Lady Beneviento upstairs and to one of the more lavish bedrooms. Once she was inside, you shut the door behind her. You did not lock it, assuming that Lady Dimitrescu would be joining the two of you.
“I am sorry about this,” Lady Beneviento apologized. “I don’t want to be here, doing this.”
“It is okay. I suppose that I’m lucky, finding myself in here with you,” you said softly. Lady Beneviento sat on the edge of the bed, watching as you approached her. “What do you want to be doing?”
“I want to be home, where I feel safe, where I don’t have to hurt anyone.”
“A-are you going to kill me?” you asked. Your voice trembled with fear as the thought of your untimely death dawned on you. Perhaps there was a reason that Lady Dimitrescu had requested you to take the quest into a bedroom. Your body would be easily disposed of if it was wrapped in a sheet.
“No, not if I don’t want to. Lady Dimitrescu was clear about that on the carriage ride over. She suggested that I take one of the maidens to bed. If I can assert myself here, then I can do it anywhere,” Lady Beneviento told you. You let out a sigh of relief at that. You didn’t mind the idea of Lady Beneviento taking you to bed, she seemed gentle.
“Is that what you want?”
“Well, you are very beautiful…” Lady Beneviento trailed off.
“Then you just tell me what you’d like me to do,” you told her. Lady Beneviento leaned back against her elbows on the bed and tilted her head to the side as she watched you behind her veil.
“I’d like for you to take off your clothes,” she instructed you. You reached around your back to loosen the ties on the back of your dress. Lady Dimitrescu had a very particular taste and everything in the house was attuned to it, including what her staff wore. Your clothes were definitely out of date, even for the village. The lack of technology made it easier to keep everybody complacent, which you knew was what Miranda and the families wanted.
Lady Beneviento hummed in approval as your dress fell off of your shoulders. You bent down to pick up your dress to fold it and set it on the dresser. Lady Beneviento’s eyes followed you as you moved around the room. You let her take her time, neither of you were in a rush as far as you knew. Lady Beneviento was not used to the comforts of another person, and she had decided that she wanted to take her time with you.
“Kneel on the bed,” Lady Beneviento told you. You dropped onto the bed next to her and sat up on your knees, keeping your legs spread slightly. There was more than enough room for her hand in fit right in between your legs. You were excited for her to touch you. It was a big deal for a lord or lady to take a lover. Lady Beneviento had chosen you, perhaps you’d be invited to stay with her from now on. “May I touch you?”
“Of course, milady,” you answered softly. Lady Beneviento carefully reached towards you. Her hand landed on your thigh, just above your knee. She shifted her body to face yours as she slowly slid her fingers up along the inside of your thigh. Your heartbeat began to quicken as her fingers neared your center. Her middle finger made contact first, swiping slowly along your folds. You let out a quiet moan as she began to touch you more confidently.
“Did I make you wet like this?” Lady Beneviento asked you. She couldn’t believe how good you felt around her fingers. It was a warmth and wetness foreign to her, an intimacy that she had denied herself her entire life. Whatever appeal there had once been to a solitary life was thrown out of the window.
“Yes,” you moaned in response to her question. Lady Beneviento pumped her fingers in and out of your cunt quickly. You could feel yourself getting closer and closer with every thrust of her fingers. Your grip on her dress tightened and your head fell back. It was starting to happen, heat burning through you as your muscles began to constrict.
“This isn’t what I meant!” Lady Dimitrescu yelled as she burst through the door. Lady Beneviento’s hand quickly retracted and you let out a whimper as your chances of reaching your climax turned to zero. One look at the vampiric woman in front of you and suddenly, that wasn’t the biggest problem at hand. She reached down and lifted you up off of the bed by your jaw. “She’s supposed to do the work for you.”
“She was doing what I wanted. She was serving her purpose,” Lady Beneviento argued weakly. Lady Dimitrescu dropped you onto the floor and moved towards the smaller family head.
“Watching them is fun, but watch. You, here now!” Lady Dimitrescu shouted. You scrambled up to your feet and over to her. Lady Dimitrescu ran her hand along your body, taking note of how you shivered under her touch. You didn’t think that you could take Lady Dimitrescu, but the look in her eyes told you that you wouldn’t actually have to. Her hand settled so that two of her fingers rested in between your legs. “Do you want to cum?”
“Yes please, milady,” you answered. The fear of being ripped to shreds was gone and your arousal was back, although not at its peak.
“Surely, you know what to do then,” Lady Dimitrescu told you. You glanced at Lady Beneviento and started to move against Lady Dimitrescu’s hand. “Don’t look at her, look at me.”
“’m sorry milady,” you muttered your apology as you continued to rut against her hand. You weren’t sure how long you needed to last for the little demonstration, but you could feel your ability to hold back wearing thin. In an instant, as Lady Dimitrescu’s hand shifted, it was completely gone. You shot Lady Beneviento an apologetic look before turning your attention to Lady Dimitrescu and trying to hold her eye as you came.
“Good girl. Now, do you understand Donna?” Lady Dimitrescu asked. You moved away from her hand and took a step back from the bed, sure to position yourself closer to Lady Beneviento.
“I think that I do. Perhaps there is something I could offer you so that I may take her back with me?” Lady Beneviento’s words surprised you. “I don’t think I’d find another villager that I like this much.”
“Just take her, I honestly do not even know what she does here,” Lady Dimitrescu said. “Your carriage is waiting.”
“Thank you Lady Dimitrescu,” Lady Beneviento said as she stood up. She took a couple of steps towards you and then stopped, reaching out to grab you by the chin. “Get your clothes on and then come straight to my carriage outside.”
“Yes milady.” You didn’t know why, but a new kind of excitement was coursing through your body at the mere thought of going with Lady Beneviento. You dressed yourself, got your few possessions, and then walked out to the carriage waiting outside of the front doors. “Thank you Lady Beneviento.”
“Enough of that, you can call me Donna when we’re alone. Something tells me that the two of us will be getting very familiar with each other.”
