Haven And Chaos

26) Touching his erection

*********************
MAYA'S POV
*********************

All I could think of as Gale assaulted my lips was, 'I'm kissing my best friend's dad. This is immoral and so...so hot.'
Knowing that there was a room full of people on the other side of the curtain filled my stomach with both anxiety and...delight. The kind of delight one gets from getting away with a pleasurable crime.
This was the man every single person in the room wished they could have even ten minutes of his time. And here he was moving his tongue in my mouth searching for mine while his arm plastered me to his body possessively.

My response wasn't much as my mind was still in shock at how things had moved so fast. I didn't know whether to kiss back or just stand there mummified.
Gale did the thinking for me and I ended up being spun around to face the wall.
'Oh shit!'
Was he going to...?
"Sto-"

"Shh! Weren't you begging to be punished just right now?" His whisper was fierce and terrifying as he pushed my chest up against the hard surface. "The sight of you makes me feel like I'll become a beast and rip you apart!" He hissed in my left ear. "And if you think seducing me will change anything between us, try me! I'll fuck you so hard that your slutty pussy will be screaming for mercy and then it'll be back to tormenting you."

My body stiffened like a board. Even the air that I was breathing felt denser and harsher, or was I taking in too little?

What kind of threat was that? And, what was poking me from back there?
I tilted my head to glance at his face as sheer shock washed over me but he pushed the side of my head on the wall. "Grh!" Needles of pain formed on my delicate skin which was being pressed on the surface. "It hurt-"

"Shut up!" He ordered creating a distance between my ass and his already erect cock. How shameless!
But this kind of shame was exciting to me. Especially when he had always played mighty king to torture me. Maybe this was my second opportunity to make his body beg for relief from me.

I intentionally shoved my ass back, slamming it on his groin. His reaction came out better than expected when a low grunt followed. 'Dare to be daring?' I instructed myself and quickly knocked his hand from my head. All that while, hoping no one was close enough to hear his previous groan or detect any changes on the curtain surface.
Thank God it was thick enough to hide the very silhouettes of our bodies while the light from both outside and inside clashed right there.

My right hand flew straight for the target, gripping it over his pants. 'Now or never!'
The look on Gale's face was heavy with shock, rage, and bewilderment as he stared down at me at that moment.
"Move and I'll draw this curtain right now so everyone will see how their precious archduke is getting turned on by a girl like me. You'll be the talk of-"

A large hand suddenly cut short my threat.
His eyes were conflicted, an expression that brought me immense joy.
But I needed more. This was possibly the last time I'd get to be so bold. I knew some kind of heart-wrenching punishment would follow later. So why not make the most of the rare chance fate had presented to me?

I added some pressure to my grip and Gale's head dropped. The sounds of his breaths deepening, the pulsating of his cock, and the reddish color spreading in his cheeks, made me tingle down there as any other woman would.
It was such a delight looking at Gale's flushed face which was somewhere in between anger and arousal as his blood was more active now than ever.

A smug grin tugged the right corner of my lips as I took a step too close to his still frame. My bluff must have sunk in his mind for he didn't say a thing to me, only glared. So this is what it felt like having the life of someone else's reputation in the palm of one's hand?
It felt darn thrilling.
The excitement spilling into my chest made me push past our boundary and rubbed his cock, right at its crown.

From the previous night, I had learned it was his sensitive part and if continued teasing it, he might even cum right here.
"You know calling me a slut. So, what are you? How dare you get hard with me here? I'm like a daughter. Cindy and I were barely a year apart. Or do you simply like younglings?" Gawd! I was going too far and I could hear the sirens ringing in my head, warning me to back the fuck off.

Never had I seen Gale look so irritated in all the years I had known him.

His constricted pupils, his slightly trembling lower lip, his tightened jaw, his cock which was growing limp by the seconds...they all screamed 'the-devil-is-awake'.
I had done it, finally. Why the hell had I said all those things to him?

My hand dropped and my mind went blank.
How was I to escape the hole I had dug for myself with a smile?

He raised his hand which was balling up and I immediately shut my eyes with my hands in the air as a shield. But, he didn't hit me, no. All I heard was the sound of his feet walking away.
Yes, Gale had just left after all I had said and done to him.
"Oh gawd!" I breathed pressing my chest to try and calm my raging heart. "I should really run away tonight," I murmured, grave terror boring holes through my soul.
If only I had stopped myself from spilling Al that nonsense. If only I had quietly let him do what he wanted to. If only...
But how was regret going to aid me?

*******************************************

I was trying my best to merge with the servants bustling about, but every time, I ended up being the odd one out. Almost as if they could feel I wasn't one of them.
On the other side, the nobles treated me like one. Ordering me to bring them drinks, refill their glasses, and even, be their cup holder while they chatted.

This was so humiliating. But it at least got my mind off what had transpired between Gale and myself. I was so busy that I momentarily forgot about my troubles and just lived in the moment.

But nothing good ever lasted so long.
Without knowing what game fate was playing with me, I found myself serving drinks to Lori and Stella.
"Ah! Maya, glad you're keeping up with the others. How's the ball so far?" Lori beamed a smile that was meant to agitate me.

"The ball?! Um, it's..." Seeing the sullen look on Stella killed something inside me.

"You know her, Lady Lori?" Asked Stella, referring to me as an outsider.

"Oh yes, she's a servant at my house."
Lori flashed me a secret smirk, hiding it behind the glass close to her face. She then turned and touched Stella's shoulder gently, "I didn't know that you two were related. It must be such a shock to see your sister serving-"

"No, not really. This is the path she chose for herself," Stella spoke with such edginess masked behind a fragile smile. "Besides, serving a lady as yourself is a great honor. I'm sure she will cherish such an opportunity and 'won't mess up'!"

That right there, was Stella warning me not to stain the relationship she was trying to build with Lori. It was like seeing mom all over again.

Lori giggled and picked up her conversation with Stella. And just like that, my presence to them became insignificant. As if telling me to buzz off.

"...over here!" Someone raised his hand and beckoned me.

In a faulty curtsey, I left the group of three women and walked over to the next, repeating this cycle as I had been in the past hour while praying for the main event to start before my feet rolled off.
