Master Richards Maid

In the dark

He strips her from her maid's uniform. Undoing her buttons one by one, he slides her dress from her shoulder and gently kisses it. She takes a deep breath as he moves his gentle kisses from her shoulder to her collar bone, and then moving up her neck. He takes a firm hand and places it around the side of her face and takes hold of her curvy frame with his other hand, pulling her close and for just a moment breathing gently on her face just to dive into her kiss as if he needed her for sustenance. He held her tightly no grip was more firm than his, laying her on his master bed, he lay on top of her and using one of his hands to hold her wrists over her head firmly so that she couldn't move and allowing himself to have the self control enough to only raise her dress enough to caress her upper thigh toward her bussom. Now wrapping her legs around his waist to feel him closer to her, he leaned in and whispered on her neck, "good morning mrs. Jane...breakfast is ready..." he spoke so softly he gave her goosebumps. Again. The comment sounded familiar...so familiar that Jane realized she never opened her eyes, "what was it that you said"? She replies softly opening her eyes to see that she was face to face with master Richards looking longingly into her eyes in the fresh first morning sunrise and pushes him off of her "your breakfast is ready Jane" he says very stale like. Jane covers her self with her sheets in fear as she constantly hears a voice echoing "time to wake up" again and again up until...

"WAKE UP JANE! sheesh how many times somebody gotta call your name girl"!? Jane sits up in her bed in her white summer night gown more delirious that usual. "Girl you must've been dreaming about something incredible! to be sleeping that hard, get on up now and and get dressed for breakfast". The older maid made herself very clear but her comment about Jane's dream was not very helpful to her morning.
After bathing and dressing Jane couldn't get what happened in master Richards study yesterday out of her head. "Did he mean to do that"? She washed the dirty dishes from breakfast in deep thought.
The maids in the house wake up before everyone in the household at 4am everyday to get themselves together and get ahead of master Richards and his wife. Now that all of the house workers have had their breakfast pourage they now are preparing and ironing the master and his wife's clothing as well as his daughters. Preparing the house hold breakfast finishing up any left over laundry, preparing the masters tea and preparing the carriage for Mrs. Richards today as she was taking a trip into town for a trip to her boutique Modëst and antique shopping.
Estella worked in the laundry housekeeping and finally found a way to exchange words with Jane. Jane was dropping off some linens from Alice's room and from a few guest rooms. "How's the transition coming along"? Estella asked procrastinating and taking a sheet at a time to get a few words in, and starts scrubbing along the boards inside of the giant wash budget. Jane shrugs but cannot find her words "it's been butterscotch candy on a cupcake, I wouldn't be too worried about me, why do you ask"? "It's just...Jane I hope your able to move on and start over and don't destroy yourself. Just remember what ya momma said" Estella doesn't make any eye contact to ensure not to get scolded. And for a second Jane almost forgot about how heart broken she was about her mother. 'Be strong baby like how I was for you' she could hear her mothers voice echoing in her head. "Yeah I know, thank you Stella I'll catch you around", Estella nods and continues to clean.
Jane stayed for the masters family breakfast standing beside the lady of the house like a statue with a handkerchief on her forearm. The lady of the house was moderately dressed today with a slim picnic dress, she says "today I'm going for something much more subtle! I'm always 'doin it big' I mind as well enjoy the weather more than my dress...also Margaret please tell me you found out if the mail was delivered" "yes ma'am" she half bows and walks away. "And please double check if the modëst is open! Lord knows that woman spends all year in France"! "Yes ma'lady, as you wish ma'lady". Master Richards eats his breakfast peacefully while their daughter Alice pokes her eggs," daddy mommy thinks eggs will makes us die young...is it true"? Mrs. Richards takes a large gulp of her coffee to avoid the stern eye contact of her husband. He looks at his daughter and ruffles her hair. Having had finished his plate first he kisses his wife and daughter while grabbing the morning paper from Margaret while heading out of the kitchen. "What's the rush honey!? Was it that bad"!? She yells with guilt so that her voice could reach him. "I'm doing blueprint for the new section of the farm house in the fields Anna" he says bluntly disappearing up the stairs. "All that man does is work.." she says underneath her breathe, "he is tearing this family apart with his selfish ways". Unable to speak neither Jane, Margaret, or the butler Morgan made eye contact with anyone. Anna stands from the table abruptly and slaps her napkin into her plate and exits the kitchen. "Jane today your spending time with Alice until I'm back home understood"? She says heading to the front door as Margaret follows behind her to hand her, her sun umbrella, and summer shawl as she exited the home. "Yes ma'am of course" she says half bowing and making eye contact with Alice and smiling as Alice smiles back "what"?
Spending the day with Alice was much more relaxing than she had anticipated with how whimsical the child was. Most of the the day was spent on the front porch, in the kitchen for lunch, in the living room or in the Alice's room.
Sitting in Alice's room was like a castle. She had grandest doll house ever seen, and a collection of dresses in a room next door just for her. She had dolls and toys and books galore. She also had a strange stash of her mothers things... "hey miss wright, can you tell me why the stars shine at night? My daddy always says that they shine at night for me! But I don't think that makes much sense"! Alice says scratching her head with a feather pen. Jane smiles gently, " your daddy has a point but you know one thing he forgot to tell you"? Says Jane getting up from her chair and sitting on the floor with Alice. "What "? Asked Alice grabbing one of her stuffed animals, She was a brunette little girl with hazel eyes, it seems her favorite hairstyle was braided pig tails and she wore a different princess dress everyday. "He forgot to tell you that they come out just for you every night because he asked them too" Jane says with a gentle playful voice and a smile. Jumping up and down with excitement Alice runs and hugs Jane's dress "YAYYYYYY!! Daddy is the magic man, daddy is the magic man, daddy is the MAGIC MANNNNN"!!!
"Hey what's with all this noise in here"? Asked Simon opening the room door. "DADDDYYYYYYY"! Alice says bolting towards him, "alright my little munchkin what's up"? He says picking her up on queque and looking at Jane . " Jane said that you ask the stars to come out for me every night! Is it true daddy? Would you really do that for me"!? Alice says with the most surprised look on her face. " oh she did now did she"? He makes a smiling confused face at Jane " honey of course I do, every single night my special munchkin, now uh go find the best hiding spot you can find so daddy and Jane can come find you" he says as he puts her down "okayyyyy you guys will never find me though"! Says Alice bolting out of the room.
Simon and Jane chuckle as he leans in the doorway. "So I see you've made a new friend huh"? He says smiling "oh no...just trading places with Margaret for today...she is the sweetest isn't she"? Jane says as she begins to clean up a few of her toys. "Yes of course, she is my little sunspot but uh..." he says letting his words drift as he takes a seat on the bed. Concerned Jane stands from her sitting position, "Is something wrong master Richards"? "No please sit" he says firmly gesturing towards the rocking chair. Jane sits.
"Where are you from"? He asks sincerely. "Excuse me...master Richards are you...feeling alright"? Jane speaks softly as to not offend. " I'm just fine, where are you from"? He asks persistently. Jane stand abruptly and walks towards the door "I'm sorry master Richards this question just feels highly inappropriate to answer between a master and his.....slave..."he gets up and beats her to the room door and slams it shut.
Perhaps he was too quick because they were once again as close as they where before yesterday. "Master Richards I-", "just answer the question. Jane." "Master Richards please we cannot be seen alone like this..., I-I-It will raise suspicions! A woman alone with a married man..." " you mean a slave alone with her married master" Simon corrects her, and they stair at each other. Because deep down inside they both knew that neither one of them gave a damn. But yet it was unspoken. "Where. Are. You. From. Jane Wright." He asked while holding her stare, again her eyes seduced him, and she could strip him with her voice. And yet he knows nothing about where she came from, who she knows and how she could spontaneously come into someone's life and completely shatter it with her presence. He was drawn to her, as if she was some kind of siren call and no matter how much he watched her he couldn't get a single window into her personality. Why was she so mysterious?He needed to know something, see something, FEEL something with her even if it was just...
Again he could not stop his feet from moving towards her but it started to feel more like he was uncomfortably gliding towards her on clouds. He towered over her never breaking her stare, so close to her face he could feel her breathe.
Jane opens her mouth to speak in just the slightest and speaks gently. "Atlanta Georgia...master Richards.. I'm from..." she gulps silently "Atlanta Georgia".
He grabs her body and pulls her close and kisses her like she was the finest gourmet.He didn't understand it but he wanted and needed her. He no longer had control or rational thoughts, only that he was pining for her since the absolute second he saw her and his passion for her would only grow by the second like the beach tides during hurricane seasons. What he would give to have more than just to kiss her. All he knew was Jane was his every reason for living and now his every demise.
She gave in, how could she deny the only thing she had been craving since yesterday afternoon. How could she deny something she wanted so badly, he prayed on her weakness and it was obvious. She couldn't tell him no because she'd be lying to herself. She dug her nails into his neck feeling his kiss very deeply. Neither one of them wanted it to end, But Jane knew if they were ever seen she would be killed.
