The Blackest Market (Claude F. x Servant! Reader)

The Blackest Market - Part 5

"A Task?" You asked worriedly. The last time the Master had given you a task it was rather unpleasant and consisted of feeding all the spiders in the mansion, including the Black Widows he lovingly cared for in the basement. 

"Yes. I need you to go into town, you'll be taking David with you as your driver. You'll be picking up a package. Make sure you pay attention to David's driving. If he isn't good enough..." His voice trailed off, but you could guess what would happen. 

Under the best circumstances, he'd be sold again at the auction house, but under the worst? You didn't want to think about it, David had become like a younger brother to you and you didn't want to see him being punished unfairly. 

"Yes Master." You bowed and stayed bent until he told you otherwise. 

"Here is the address from which you will retrieve the package." He handed you a slip of paper and waved to dismiss you. 

"Hai." You walked out of the room and went to get David. This could be the chance for you both to escape. David was against it, saying if they didn't return, they'd be found and punished. Their master was a demon, there's no escape from something you knew could swallow you whole if it wanted to. Your mother, when she actually pretended to care about you, read you bed time stories about the demons that dwell underneath the earth. She would tell you stories of children being kidnapped in the middle of the night and tortured. She would tell you them so you would behave, always saying "Be a good girl or the devil will swallow you whole."  It always made you listen. 

You decided that David was right. Even if you had managed to escape, there was no telling what he would do if he were to find you again, and he seemed to have a lot of money at his disposal to do so. You sighed softly, and got into the car. You supposed you didn't mind living there, after all, no one else would take you in and give you a bed half as nice as the one you had now. And the job was tolerable as long as you kept on doing what you were told; he wouldn't hurt you. 

David was a little shaky at the wheel as you pulled away but definitely improved as he continued to drive. You decided not to tell him about the Masters orders, it may have made him nervous.

About thirty minutes later you reached the destination. A residential home, definitely not a manor but big enough to be comfortable and to entertain guests. David pulled to a stop and stayed in the car while you went to retrieve the package. The maid of the house let you in and you waited in the foyer. 

A man, who you assumed to be the lord of the house, strolled into the room with a smile on his face and the box in his hands. "Ahh~..So you must be Master Claude's new pet?" He smirked, making you blush darkly. 

"I..am his maid yes." You bowed and again, stayed that way until given further instructions. 

"You're very lucky, Faustus doesn't usually take a shine to your type...he must have seen something he liked. I am Lord Beel." He leaned does to whisper in your ear, "I am a demon as well. Ask my servants, there is no better master than a demon. If you can survive your master, there will be great rewards." He ran his fingers through your hair causing you to shiver.

"I...I came to retrieve a package for my master, he'll be disappointed if we don't hurry." Your eyes remained fixed on the ground. 

"Ah yes...but see...there is a problem. Master Claude did not pay me for the contents of the box. Did he send you with money?" He raised an eyebrow down at you, a sinister smirk on his lips.

"N-no sir." You shook your head softly, "Shall I...return with payment?" 

"I think there is something I will accept in place of the usual cash..." He took your chin in his hand and jerked your face upward, forcing his lips to yours. You whimpered in surprise and nearly jerked away but Lord Beel held fast, soon he was tasting the inside of your mouth with his tongue. A few more minutes and you were gasping for air, package in hand, and the door was being slammed behind you as you stood on the front step. Tears stung the corner of your eyes as you heard the demon roar with laughter behind the door. "Damn demon..."

The drive home was quiet, and when you brought the package to your master he scowled. "You filthy whore!" He growled at you darkly, "You reek of that demon! You've let him touch you!!" He was about to slap you across the face when you dropped to your knees in a bow. "F-FORGIVE ME! He forced himself on me as payment for master's package!!" You waited for the hand or foot or belt to fall on you as punishment, but nothing came, you didn't dare look up. 

"Payment?" Claude whispered, then roared. "PAYMENT?! THAT BASTARD!!" He stomped away to his desk and drank the rest of the scotch he had been having. "Caspia, come here." You slowly stood, walking to the edge of the desk and kept your eyes on the floor as you spoke. "Yes master?"

"No come here..." He pointed to the space in front of him and you obeyed. "Do not...EVER...allow this to happen again. Do you understand? I always pay for my merchandise before picking it up, and if anyone tries to tell you other wise. You have my permission to defend yourself."His finger slipped under your chin and you flinched, flash backs of earlier shot through your mind. He pulled your chin upward and planted a gentle and chaste kiss on your lips. "There...whatever damage that beast caused has been undone..He probably violated you to get a rise out of me, and I'm ashamed that it worked." He blushed a very soft shade of pink, "Forgive me Caspia." You nodded and noticed the blush. The stain of red on your masters cheeks made your heart flutter. 

Claude began to hatch a plan. Beelzebub had been taking advantage of him for far too long. He wanted to get back at the demon, and make sure he remembered who was the superior. "Caspia....tomorrow, you and I will go shopping. There's a ball next week and you will be accompanying me." He smirked and turned to look at you, a smug look on his face. "Lady Caspia....Will you be my date?"
