Learn your place (book 1)

Party's over

After Alexander clumsily undressed Diana with his eyes closed the entire time, he went downstairs to have an angry discussion with Judas. He descended the stairs his blush already half gone. Where was that evil man? After looking around, he found Judas laughing as a crowd of women clamored around him. He stroked under the chin of one of the golden noblewomen. Alexander walked up to him as he sat among his improvised harem. "Why Alexander! Why don't you join me? I was just about to find out what Lady Gwyneth wanted to do to me." He leaned in as she whispered into his ear. "Oh my!" The girls all laughed among themselves knowing what she said. The host was unamused. "Judas, I need to talk to you in private, if you don't mind." Before he could refuse, Alexander grabbed him by his jabot guiding him to a nearby empty room. The girls let out a collective whine of disappointment. He looked him in the eye. "Earlier my maid bumped into you on accident." Judas nodded adjusting his jabot. "Indeed she did. I mean what kind of servant doesn't get out of the way?" At Judas's self centered response, Alexander had to hold his temper. "It was purely accidental yet you responded, by shoving her. Had I not caught her she would've gotten hurt." He explained "Yes, she certainly seems to have a knack for getting hurt." Judas scoffed. Alexander tried to contain himself.

"I think you owe her an apology." He said demanding manners out of Judas. The Estelle Manor leader started walking away. "Why should I apologize to a peasant?" The host jumped in front of him. "Because she is American, just like you!" He said angrily. "You don't want more enemies than you already have. Treat the lady with respect." Judas looked at him. He was actually right on that. He then had an idea, that Pierre would be proud of. Hmmm yes. A cute little redhead peasant. Mortal women are always fun little novelties to have around. The richest bachelors in the county always had one within arms reach. Another woman to add to his many admirers. "For once Alexander, I agree with you." The gold man in black was surprised. "Bring the lady to me. Where is she?" He asked making his way back to the party. Alexander caught up. "You'll have to do it, later. She's asleep. She's went in for the night." He said trying to explain. "I see." Judas said slightly annoyed. "It's alright. You can write her a note. She'll receive it, I promise." Alexander said not taking a no for an answer.

Fredrick watched him return to the ladies, and tried to mingle. He felt a tapping on his shoulder, and when he turned it was Hedwig's little brother with a big smile. He grinned widely hugging the younger gold watcher. "Haytham. It's so good to see you." He said actually finding the one gold watcher from Estelle manor with manners. "Come with me. I must discuss something with you. I have this book on medieval knights and I think it fits perfectly in your library, my friend. Haytham followed him as he took him to the library. Maybe this party wasn't the total disaster he expected it to be. The young Haytham yearned for the book as he watched the host climb up the ladder.

As Alexander was handing over the novel to the boy, Judas decided to sneak upstairs, to maybe find this young lady and "personally apologize." He just needed to find her. The upstairs area was much bigger than he expected. There were only four men! How much space did they truly need. He started with the right. Upon opening one of the doors there was nothing there. Simply a bedroom. Behind the next door was a nude couple. One gold lady was on all fours on the bed, with a gold man up on his knees right behind her his hips thrusting forward. They were both moaning to the heavens. Thankfully neither noticed him. He quietly closed the door, heading to the next two which were empty. At this rate Judas was bound to not find her.

Then he spotted a sign. GUEST ROOMS perfect! He ran into the first one he spotted. It startled the girl inside. "Ahh, you're Diana, correct?" She grabbed her heart trying to calm herself. "Yes, I am." She said lowering her heart rate. "I'm Judas. I apologize for scaring you." He slowly walked inside, and sat in the chair. "I would like to formally apologize for my behavior earlier. I get a bit defensive when meeting attractive young women. Especially ones as attractive as you." Diana was turning red at this. Was this gold watcher being nice? Lady Isabelle said he was hard on the mortals. Maybe she was mistaken. "So... can you forgive me?" He asked trying to look innocent. She was lost in his good looks. She froze when he placed a hand on her cheek. He leaned in to kiss her, but was yanked back. Benjamin had the back of  his coat, and was escorting him out. He dragged the intruder down the stairs, furious. "You think you're allowed in her room without supervision? Not on our watch." He let him go when they were at the bottom of the stairs.

After a few hours, the party died down, and the guests went home. The three hosts that were still left standing were seeing people out thanking them for coming. Alexander smiled to Haytham seeing him carrying his new book back to the carriage. When the general passed him a swift salute put a smile on both their faces. When Hedwig walked by Alexander grabbed his shoulder. "Hedwig?" He paused. "Thanks for showing up." Hedwig gave an attempt at a smile, and limped his way out. When Judas passed by Alexander pulled him aside. Judas clumsily fumbled but when he was let go he straightened himself. "Benjamin told me where you were, and what you tried to do." Before he could defend himself he felt a punch to his face. I little well up of inky blood erupted on his bottom lip. He turned back around, to Alexander hardly phased. Alexander snarled. "Has my point been made?" Judas nodded, and walked passing by him, then gave him a real crusher. "It's too bad the girl you pine for turned out to be a dyke." He said sending the ultimate pain to Alexander. Once everybody left. They did a house sweep to make sure nobody was left. The last of the gold watchers seemed to be gone, and the staff were all in the dining room congratulating each other on a successful party. All was as it should be.

Alexander headed to the dining table perhaps Hedwig left some cake leftover for them. Nothing. He still wanted something sweet. Benjamin joined him. They looked in the pantry, but there was hardly anything. Suddenly they heard a glass bottle being moved. When looking in the wine cabinet, Benjamin spotted Diana with a bottle. It was a blue bottle. Alexander made a point it was only to be drank on special occasions. "Alexander. Somebody is in need of a drink." When he looked Diana had looked embarrassed. "Oh, I see you've changed your mind." He placed it back in its spot, and pulled out one that matched the occasion. "Come have a drink with us. I think you'll like it." He said placing a hand on her shoulder.

A few hours later, the four were sitting in the parlor drinking and laughing. The drink hit Diana quite a bit harder than the rest. Diana had to stop laughing to ask another question. "Alright, alright. How about this. Can I gain weight?" Benjamin pulled the wine glass from his mouth. "They way you looked when you died. That's how you remain." Diana's hopes of being fuller were now gone. "You mean I'll never have a nice big ass?!" She whined. She always wanted to look like one of those California girls. Thomas tried to cheer her up. "Aww don't worry, Diana. We like you petite." He ruffles her hair. That reminded her. She took the hairband and out of her hair, and unbraided it. Her red hair went down her back now wavy.

"So why even eat?" She shrugged. They looked at her skeptically. "You don't enjoy our foods? I think we make nice dishes. Indulgence is our habit." She looked at her body. "So will my hair grow?" They laughed. "Yes, it will grow, your tan will start to fade, and your fingernails will continue to grow too." Thomas promised. "Why even want to gain weight? You're perfectly fine now." Benjamin gestured to her. "Big butts, and big breasts are in the style, on Earth." They all turned to each other struck with realization. With this knowledge Alexander turned to her and grinned. "Well, I find you extremely attractive. You are a fine woman, Diana." He said kissing her palm. She sat there with a blank face for a few seconds, then without warning she pounced on Alexander. She smashed her mouth against his whimpering. His face was shocked. He tried to lean back, to which she only followed him all the way down, practically laying overtop of him. The two others merely blinked in surprise. When she pulled away, a drunk giggle escaped her mouth. He stared at the boys as if looking for a bit of help.

Benjamin merely crossed one leg over the other. "Grand isn't it?" He chuckled. The way Benjamin stared was like he knew exactly how nice it was to kiss Diana. Thomas was staring dumbfounded. "I'm honestly at a loss for words. I've got nothing." He smirked seeing his first in command being overpowered by a lousy little maid. Alexander eyes bugged and shot back to the woman on top of him when she began leading his hand into the top of her night dress towards her breasts. He pulled his hand back, and sat up. "Alright, I'd say you've had more than enough to drink. I think it's time I send you to bed." He said his face turning red. The boys chuckled. Benjamin spoke up. "Trying to get her in bed after one little kiss? Going a bit fast aren't we?" Benjamin blurted out. Alexander got annoyed, as he tried to get his horny maid back to her room. Her attempts at trying to seduce him were quite tempting, he had to admit, but he had to remember his place. It was not in her arms.
