Cruel Beauty

Stay With Me

The security eventually gets a handle on things but by this point, the party is well and truly over. The maids open up the doors and windows airing the place out. 'I've another property in the city.' The Baroness breaks you from your thoughts. 'Hm?' you turn to her you sit at the back of an ambulance the Baroness paces. 'I've somewhere else to sleep tonight, the building will need to be aired out properly. The police are still searching the grounds.' Victoria speaks more to herself. 'Ah, John.' John approaches with a glass of water for your boss. 'Baroness, I thought you could use a drink.' Victoria grabs it, knocking it back then makes a face. 'For pity's sake it's water I think I need something with more kick after all of that.' she throws the glass away in disdain and it smashes on the gravel. 'Apologies, Baroness.' John inclines his head. 'Never mind, bring the car around, I can't sleep here tonight.' she hugged herself in the cold night air. 'Very good Baroness.' John has the car driven around the front.

Victoria rubs her arms continuing to hug herself she walks over to the car when it stops. 'I'll see to it that the building will be suitable for your return.' You tell her. The Baroness still hugging herself snaps her head around to look at you. 'What? A-aren't you coming with me? I have no staff posted at the other property I'd be alone.' she sounds panicked. Then quickly changes her tone. 'I would have no one to assist me, do you expect me to simply manage alone?' her tone turns accusatory. You raise an eyebrow. 'Baroness. Would you like me to escort you?' you offer trying not to roll your eyes. 'Yes, I think that'd be a good idea.' She gets into the back of the car. You roll your eyes then get in the other side of the car sitting beside her. 'You could've just said you wanted company Victoria.' You cross your legs. The Baroness double takes. 'I-I told you I need competent staff, it has nothing to do with wanting...company.' she shifts in her seat. The car drives off leaving the crime scene.

Victoria stares out the window refusing to look at you still trying to keep herself warm as she stares into the dark night. 'Are you okay?' You ask after a few moments. Silence. 'I'm fine.' You nod as you continue to study her, she watches your reflection in the window. 'Why are you looking at me like that?' She turns to you just in time to see you slide closer to her and she blinks tilting her head. You wrap an arm around her for a moment she seems unsure she rests her head on your shoulder and then wraps her arms around you for warmth. 'You got a bit of a fright?' you speak softly. Victoria doesn't reply she places a hand on your chest and then rests her head against you. You sigh and rest your chin on her head almost kissing her forehead but deciding against it. Upon arrival, the place is in darkness another lavish house but not as big as Hellman Hall, Victoria parts from you the driver opens the door and she gets out and instructs the driver to collect you both tomorrow. You follow her inside and she flicks a light switch nothing happens, she frowns and switches it a few more times then tries another switch. Flicking it angrily she hisses. 'Heaven's sake!' You raise an eyebrow.

'Well this is no good, I'll simply call John and tell him to send the car back.' she lifts the phone but there is no dial tone no matter how aggressively she fingers the phone dial. She slams the phone down angrily. 'So what now?' you ask leaning against a door frame. It's dark but luckily there is a full moon tonight and it illuminates the room. 'How the hell should I know?!' she snaps then turns away covering her eyes. You let her have that one because she is upset, you walk up to her touching her hip, and she jumps turning to you. Placing a hand on her chest she catches her breath but her eyes are wide. 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, please don't grab me again?' Victoria looks frightened and you frown in confusion. 'Again...?' Victoria swallows. 'That night I returned...when you forced me to arch against the wall and you ripped my dress. You frightened me.' she admits. 'It reminded me...of him.' You remove your hand as you think about what she is saying, you feel sick. 'I didn't think, I'm sorry, I am so sorry.' Victoria looks away from you, and you gently catch her wrist. 'I would never hurt you Victoria not intentionally.' she looks at you nervously and gives a small smile. 'Looks like are spending the night here, luckily I have a good memory, I'll lead the way.' she takes your hand and leads you up the staircase.

The Baroness gets you upstairs safely and opens a bedroom door it's lit rather well inside by the moon, she goes to a table sparking a match and carefully lighting a candelabra. 'Could you help me?' You watch her, the soft side that no one else gets to see. 'Of course.' You got to her and carefully pluck the diamante pins out of her hair, you free the glorious mane of dark locks. Victoria sighs in relief as you ruffle her hair and massage her scalp and the back of her neck a little. 'Thank you.' You remove her earrings, then her shoes. 'The closet.' she answers your next question. 'You may borrow one of my negligees.' You nod and grab an emerald green one for you and a silk little bronze number for her. Turning you see her unpin her asymmetrical monochrome frock letting it fall to the floor. Not like it costs more than you make in a month. She stands in her underwear, stockings, black panties, and a black pipestem corset. No bra, her breasts are just there she doesn't notice you staring. Victoria arches her back leaning against the wall. 'Yn, can you unlace me?' she calls.

You walk over getting a good view of her arse as frankly, it would be rude not to when it's raised so proudly. Not now yn! She just went through a rough night. Your nimble fingers unlace the corset at double speed and you carefully slacken all the laces, your hand hovering over her bareback desperate to touch. You withdraw your hand. 'All done.' you say softly. 'Thank you, yn.' she straightens up grabs the bronze negligee, and shimmies into it, you watch as the panties and stockings are discreetly removed and tossed aside. 'What's wrong?' she queries. You blush furiously and you realise you have been staring at her. 'Nothing I was just wondering where I could sleep?' Victoria blinks. 'Oh, well it'll be dawn soon no use milling about for more rooms you may sleep in here tonight. It's perfectly respectable.' she shrugs it off. You are exhausted and yawn simply nodding in agreement. You struggle to unzip your frock. 'Let me.' you jump a little in surprise feeling her soft hand rest on your bare shoulder. Her dominant hand pulls down the zip of your frock. 'Thank you Victoria.' you close your eyes feeling her run her fingertips over your back. 'Any time my dear.' goosebumps rise on your skin, she's so close you smell her perfume.

When you change into the negligee you see she is already in bed and you join her. 'Goodnight, Baroness.' you shift to your side and close your eyes releasing a pent-up sigh. 'Who do you think she was?' You hear her speak and roll over to see her lying on her back staring at the ceiling. 'Do you think they will return? What if other people breach my security?' You reach over placing your hand over hers which nervously fiddles with the quilt. 'What if they have followed us here?' she suddenly asks panicked and turns to you with wide eyes. You slide closer and wrap an arm around her waist. 'Mmm then I'll fight all of them for you.' Victoria grips your arm making sure you don't go anywhere. 'Did you hear that?' she jumps. 'It was just a car it's okay.' you stroke her hair. 'I will double, no, triple my security.' She goes off on a tangent about this and you let her, stroking her hair until she falls asleep, her head resting on your chest.
