Haven And Chaos

27) Gale's fuck mate

I sat on my bed staring restlessly at the door even though every cell in my body was screaming from the fatigue enveloping me. I craved to close my eyes even for a few minutes, but the orders were clear, I shouldn't fall asleep until he called me into his room.
Why? I had no idea.
It had been such a long day and night that it all made me feel as though I had lived through an entire decade. The seconds passed by sluggishly, antagonizing me even further as I awaited Gale's summoning.

This was stupid.
Gale was being stupid.
Sure I had said a few things out of line, but did I deserve to be deprived of sleep while he expected me in class in the later hours?

And that bitch, she had made me run errands for her through the entire ball, hardly giving me time to breathe, or, run away. Tonight had been such a perfect night to flee, but I couldn't accomplish such a simple thing. I was utterly useless.
My siblings gave me a cold shoulder after figuring out that I 'worked' for Lori. They were the same people I had tried to protect for I did not want Gale to unleash his anger on them.
And here they were, using me as the ladder to the high table.

Seriously. What the fuck was I doing with my life?
Why did things have to go so shitty since that dreadful night? How I wished it were me who died back then. I wouldn't be going through this and my family would be living better, maybe.

I checked my clock for the hundredth time.
Two thirty-six in the morning.
"Gawd! I don't know if I can wait any longer."

I pulled myself to stand, fighting against the weight of my legs from the tiredness overwhelming them. I had walked tonight more than I ever did in my past years. Is this what servants went through daily? Just running up and down, room to room, cleaning, cooking, laundry...argh!
I suddenly wanted to hug Lisa for her hard work.

Dressed in bland pajamas I walked towards the door, my eyes blinking too slowly. Every time my eyelids shut, I wanted them to stay like that for hours until all the heavy sleep faded. But whenever Gale's fuming face crossed my mind, a kind of jolt electrified me to last a second longer.

As I gripped the handle, muffled noises from outside suddenly caught my attention.
It sounded like... Lori.
She was screaming at someone sounding damn pissed at something.
Thankful it wasn't me, I opened my door and peeped out in the hallway. Only to catch sight of the witch at Gale's door which was only a single bedroom away from mine.

"...I don't care! Tell me who the fuck that whore is!" Lori yelled at the man leaning against the door frame, blocking her way to his room.
His blonde hair was down and looking curly as if he had taken a shower not long ago. As my eyes devoured a half-naked Gale who only had a small towel wrapped around his waist, I caught the hickeys left on his neck and left boob as well as the bite mark on his right shoulder. They blinded my sight from noticing the two had grown quiet and were now looking my way.

I gasped and snatched my head back into the room. But before I could slam the door shut, Gale called for me.
"Come out, right now!"

I said a quick prayer, pleading with the heavens to offer me some more grace for the remaining night. How could a single day hold so many events? I just wanted to sleep. Why did he want to drag me into his drama?

My steps were small and hesitant, but I finally got to them. All while my eyes played hide and seek with Gale's pair.
"Get in there and help my guest get dressed," he instructed calmly.

"Huh!" I couldn't help it. Was I now his personal attendant as well as his sleeping teddy? Or was I his enemy? His coffeemaker? His jerking-off machine? His kissing doll? What was I?

I had so much to yell at him about, but as usual, I swallowed my bile hoping I'd not choke and die from it, and obeyed. I still had a pending punishment for whatever had transpired at the ball.
"Where do you think you're-" my hair was grabbed and yanked from behind, "-going?"

"Aaah!" I screamed in pain as I reached out to grab her hand and ease the pain.
Suddenly, a large hand grasped mine followed by instant relief on my scalp. And then...*smack*

I turned around, the insides of my body growing icy as wild thoughts filled my mind. Had she fallen and cracked her head open on the hard floor? Well, that would be worth a huge celebration.
But seeing Lori's eyes tearing up as her hand massaged her cheek brought me more pleasure than the counted times I had been fucked.

Karma had just avenged me for the slap she gave me the other day. My heart started dancing around merrily as my eyes feasted on the rare sight for future reference. How I wished I had my phone and captured the moment forever.
"Get moving!" Gale barked snapping his head at me.

My breath was immediately caught between my nostrils and lungs. Ignoring the risk it could pose, I jumped into the room and ran frantically until I stood in front of his bed. The same bed I had slept on now hosted a scared-looking brunette who clung to the duvet, her body visibly shaking.

My jaw tightened as I stared at her staring at me innocently.
"Who are you?" She asked in a frightened whisper.

"That, that is not important," I said and squatted to collect the clothes littering the floor around the bed, both Gale's and the girl's. "You should get dressed."
I separated the clothes and laid hers close to her hip.

"Please tell me, who's Maya!" She begged grabbing my wrist.
As light filled her brown eyes, I clearly saw something that was lurking behind the feigned innocence. Something similar to envy and resentment.

"I-I don't know. Why?"

"Shit!" She hissed, breaking out of character for a second and letting me see that envious face. "Oh, sorry... Please, help me out of bed." She gave me her hand. And from her manners, I immediately recognized she was from a noble family.
Now it made sense, Gale had probably picked her up from the ball and brought her home.

I stepped to the side, silently observing her out of curiosity. Wanted to ask her why she had left all those marks on Gale and would have given in to the disturbing thought when I saw fine red handprints on her pale ass. Some had overlapped to form a kind of bruise. Ouch! That must have hurt really bad.

She glanced up and I quickly tossed my gaze to the door a distance. There were no more screams. Almost as if the two had left.

"Aren't you curious how I got these?"
It was as if she was dying to tell me.

I shook my head, my eyes still at the doorway.
"It's all that Maya's fault! I don't know what she did to Lord Gale but he couldn't stop spanking me. It felt like I was being punished for her crimes. Gawd! I'm so furious! I feel like finding and strangling her to death right now."

I gulped secretly, pushing down the lump that had magically formed from her bitter words. "I didn't even get to feel his cock inside me."
This was too much. I had to stop her for the air around me was growing unusually thick and awkward.

"I can get you some ointment. It might help with the pain," I volunteered. Anything to get her to shut the fuck up about Gale's body.

"Don't bother. My driver must still be down there." She slipped on a blue top that exposed her belly and showed her hard nipples. Matched with the buggy jeans, she looked like a model. "Could you please inform Lord Gale that I'd like to leave now?"

"Oh, okay!"

As my feet headed at the doorway I began questioning myself, why was I following her words?
'Because you need her out of here so you can finally sleep,' I answered myself and hurried my pace.
Sleep. Yes. I wanted to sleep so badly. My poor eyes were already aching.
