The Secrets Within.

Indiscretions.

The morning sun lifted itself from behind the cover of the majestic mountains. She was giggling and twirling in the clearing of the dense, green forest. She stopped, mesmerized by the glittering elegance of the breaking dawn. This was her idea of heaven. The calm beauty of the forest. She was suddenly pulled from the peace into chaos and she frowned in the realization that she was still in this strange, far away world. She was so angry that she'd been stolen from all she knew. She wondered what had become of her mother and all her siblings. Her mother needed her. Since her father hadn't returned after his trip, she'd become a caregiver, cook and anything else her mother needed from her. The innocence of adolescence stripped from her. She didn't complain, she knew her mother was fighting battles of her own and she loved her dearly. The essence of home coursed through her veins and every time she thought of it, her heart ached inside her chest.

Shaking all thoughts from her mind, she sat up and gazed sleepily around the room. Some of her belongings from home had been placed purposefully around. It helped a bit. She stood, and with a little yawn, she emerged herself in the tasks of beginning a new day. As the tub filled, she stood in front of the mirror, her reflection staring back. Lifting her hand, she touched her porcelain colored cheek with a sigh. Her dark locks fell onto her shoulders and framed her face. The pale, blue eyes looking back at her seemed sad, like they'd seen too much for such short years. Her lips were stained a wine color and formed a pouty frown upon her oval face. The carefree, childlike qualities had disappeared and she looked like a woman. A woman whom knew truths that no one should know. A loud gasp escaped her lips as she noticed the other reflection that appeared behind her in the mirror. Filled with fright, she spun around, only to find herself alone. She stood paralyzed with fear. Her heart raced and her mouth went dry. Both hands gripped the sink behind her so hard, her knuckles were white. "What the hell is happening to me? This place doesn't feel good. It has too many stories and they want to be heard," her own thoughts scared her. Peering into the mirror again, she spoke aloud to her reflection, " Leave me alone. I don't want to know your secrets. Find someone else to listen." With that, she stripped the short, white gown from her body and stepped into the warmth of the water. She bathed slowly, washing away all the worry and fear until suddenly, it was as if someone or something had moved quickly passed her, causing her hair to move slightly. A chill filled her entire soul and she jumped up covering herself with a nearby towel. She eyed the main room and when she saw nothing, she cried out, "Please! Someone help!" Not a minute later, her door flew open and Lily stood beside her. In a sheer panic, she grabbed the beautiful, petite blonde woman and hugged her tightly as tears streamed down her cheeks. Nina leaned close and whispered, her voice trembling, "There is someone here. They are watching me. They touched me. Please. I think I'm losing my mind." Pitifully, she begged and whined, "Please, Lily, please take me home." Lily pulled her close and began running her fingers through Nina's dark hair. Her other hand reached up, and placed two fingers under Nina's chin, lifting her head. Nina's eyes peeked upward, meeting Lily's comforting gaze. "Ma Chérie, do not be frightened. You are protected here." For some reason, Nina believed her, with no doubts.

Taking another step closer, Lily let her hands grasp Nina's narrow shoulders, massaging, to ease the tension and anxiety. With a gentle, yet commanding tone, Lily ordered her to turn. Nina did as requested. She felt fingertips along her collarbone, over every curve of her neck and up to her cheeks. Lily then firmly grasped Nina's chin and tilted her head back. With a soft moan, Nina felt herself pressed against Lily's small frame, her head resting on the woman's shoulder as fingertips continued their journey along her soft skin. She could feel Lily's breath on her ear and a carnal tone floated in. "You really are just as beautiful as they've always said, Nina." There was a hunger in her voice. A yearning. It made her bite her lip. Her reply was soft and breathless, "Thank you Lily." Before she could protest, Lily had untied the towel that was wrapped around Nina's naked body, and it fell upon the floor. Her body flushed with warmth, even though her flesh was exposed. Moving around her, Lily stood before her. Her eyes filled with lust as she took in every exposed inch of Nina's body. Like a thief laying their hands upon a precious piece of art, Lily eagerly pressed her red lips to Nina's and kissed her. Her tongue pressed teasingly, seeking to invade Nina's mouth. With a surprised gasp, Nina relinquished control and their tongues met in a heated dance. She could feel Lily's hands begin to roam over parts of her flesh that, before this moment, were untouched. Nina felt sensations she'd never experienced. It was overwhelming and immensely pleasurable. Lily's hand grazed over erect, virgin nipples. Both moaning onto the other's lips. Nina squirmed. She rubbed her thighs together, and in that embarrassing moment, she felt the wetness between them. She was drowning in passion and she wanted more.

A gust of air sent her soaring backward and onto the floor in a wet, aching mess. She quickly scanned the room, as she found her bearings again. Her eyes widened as she saw, Lukas. His hand wrapped around Lily's neck. He stood holding her pinned against the wall, seething with anger. "You knew the dangers and you couldn't control yourself could you?! You useless whore! Now, you will pay dearly for your indiscretions," he growled. "Master, please," Lily begged him. He looked at her, his eyes filled with disgust. He released her. "Leave us. Now," he snarled. Lily didn't even try to look at her. Her head lowered, she hurriedly ran from the room . Nina watched in horror as she cowered on the floor. She let out a whimper as he turned to face her.
