Her Enigmatic Second Chance Mate

I Too late, maybe her warning was too late as she saw Karla being jumped into by one of the werewolves. One moment after, she saw the lifeless body of Karla being thrown like a piece of bread onto the ground. “Karla! No!” she screamed so loud while tears rushed down her eyes. She tried to have her first shift but her wolf seemed to have forsaken her so early or maybe because she was not yet completely inside of her when the attack happened. Before she could move further, she saw Laura being attacked too by one big brown werewolf. The werewolf digs his claws into the heart of Laura, making her sizzle and die at once. Blood spurted from her body. Screaming so loud, Gerthel ran toward Tony with the intention to help him when he too was being attacked by another werewolf. However, before she could reach Tony, a black wolf hindered her when it blocked her way and shove her stomach. She flies into the air with a ripped stomach. Gerthel’s eyes grew big as she felt the pain in her stomach. When she landed on the ground, heaving for breath, while clutching her stomach, she noticed Tony’s lifeless body swimming in his own blood nearby. She screamed so loud. At that instance, the biggest black wolf shifted into his human form, and there and then, Gerthel’s heart tumbled, as his scent filled her nostrils down to her lungs. Her wolf inside has been awakened. She looked at the man confused. He is her mate but why did his pack attack them and even killed the most important people in her life? With squinting eyes, the man looked at Gerthel and proclaimed. “I, Alpha Leeno Treeton of the Blue Wave Pack, reject you, Gerthel Maurii, a hybrid, a witch and wolf as my mate! I shall have no connection with you and consider you as of this moment as dead!” Seeing that the man moved to get hold of her, Gerthel’s reflexes swiftly avoided him and that was the moment she was waiting for. Her wolf suddenly came and she shifted into a big silver wolf. The Alpha blood of his rogue father contributed to her extraordinary size and strength. She growled so loud and from her wolf’s howling, the werewolves who attacked them suddenly stiffens and slowly bow their heads. Even Alpha Leeno stiffened and was unable to move. They could feel the force, the power that emanates from the voice of the big silver she-wolf. Seeing everyone’s shocked state, Gerthel’s wolf took the chance to escape. Gerthel’s wolf ran so fast, speeding off like a flash, while her heart ached for the rejection she had from her mate, who was supposed to love, cherish and protect her, instead killed the people she considered her family and wanted to harm her further. Gerthel knew that she was being followed by the enemies. It is not therefore advisable for her to run into their farm as she might only put the lives of their farmers' families in great danger. II Instead of running back home, Gerthel in her wolf form took the opposite side. She ran faster and unstoppable. She did not even look back. All she did while in her wolf form was to run and run. Gerthel's wolf stopped running only when she noticed that no one has been following her anymore. She was able to mislead the enemies. “But where am I?” she thought while looking around the place where her wolf is standing now. She was tired of running and was panting. She noticed that she is still inside a forest but the premises is not familiar to her anymore. She seemed to have exited already the border. With heightened senses, she let her eyes scan the place and sniffs for a possible human scent around. Sensing that the premises are free from any other human being or other creatures except for birds, squirrels, and most probably snakes, she shifted into her human form again. She yelped upon seeing her body in nudity after shifting. She shifted back to her wolf form and ran further looking for any possible shelter where she can be able to borrow, well actually to steal something to wear. A few meters away and her eyes caught a glimpse of well-gated premises, inside was a house. Her wolf ran faster and then slowed down while nearing the gated house, which she learned to be a cottage house as her wolf came much nearer. While hiding in a nearby big tree, she shifted back to her human form and then slowly observed around the premises of the cottage house. The cottage house seems to be a vacation or mini farmhouse. Around it are wooden mid-high fences and some fruit-bearing trees. Seeing no one to be around, she sneaked into the wooden gate, which she opened without any difficulty. She was amazed to see the inside of the fence. The cottage house has a mini garden beside it, with different flowering plants, it has a swing, with its ropes tied around two mango trees. There is a wooden lounge on the cottage’s small porch. The cottage house’s door is closed. She checked if it can be opened and was disappointed to learn that it is well locked. She tried the window and luckily, she saw one window, which was a bit open. She sneaked therein and got inside the cottage house. The inside of the cottage house is neat and clean. It has a small round dining table and three chairs around it and its small living room has a wooden set of sofa, and beside it is a door, which she surmised was the bedroom. She opened the door to the bedroom and saw a wooden dressing cabinet. Gerthel sighed in disappointment when she noticed that the pieces of clothes inside the cabinet are suited for males. She chose one big white shirt which hang down past her knees when she wore it. She got one striped boxer short that she saw inside the cabinet and then a handkerchief, which she used as her belt. She looked around with the hope to find a slipper or shoes. What she saw was a big rubber slipper. She decided to use it anyway, as she has no other choice. She ran out of the cottage house thereafter. Gerthel found herself walking along the main street after running away from the cottage house. She knew that she went too far away from their farm and plantation already and she is not familiar with all the things that she is seeing now. She walked slowly while making her eyes keenly observing her surroundings. A few meters away, she already saw a group of many people and vendors of different products. She hastened her phase of walking and mingled with the crowd. “It seems like I am in a marketplace. Which state is this land, I am standing on now?” she thought wearily and confused. Still in confusion, when suddenly her arms were grabbed by two men. Gerthel resisted but the two men were stronger compared to her. “Let me go!” she screamed at them but the two men just laughed at her and dragged her. They forced her to enter a big, expensive-looking building and almost pushed her inside a luxurious room, which she thought to be an office. A middle-aged man was sitting on an executive chair behind a dark-brown painted office-wooden desk. “What’s up men?” the middle-aged man asked with a raised eyebrow while looking at the two men and then at Gerthel. “Boss, we found this woman wandering around. Look at her, she can be included in the auction tonight,” the man holding Gerthel’s right arm said aloud and proudly. A sudden wide grin, crept from the middle-aged man’s lips as he looked at Gerthel again with obvious malice.

I Gerthel’s eyes grow wide upon hearing what the man had just said. The word 'auction' rang in her ears. “What are you talking about? What auction?!” she spat at the man beside her. “Wealthy Masters, or even Kings and Princesses, will bid for you. You will be sold as a bed warmer,” the man sitting on the executive chair replied and then evilly laughed while his eyes raked over her body. Gerthel’s soft cat hairs stood up in fear while looking into the laughing man with shock. Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. “There is no need to include her in the auction tonight. My Boss would definitely like this woman. How much is her price?” With her head almost spinning, Gerthel turned her head to check on the man who all of a sudden spoke at their backs. The man seemed to be in his late thirties, tall, brusque, and with a brown complexion. He cannot be said to be handsome nor can be condemned to be called ugly. Ordinary might be more appropriate for him. Creases on her forehead became visible as she deeply looked into the man. “I am not for sale!” she retorted with annoyance. Silence ruled after she almost snapped into the man, who just barged inside. Thereafter, the middle-aged man sitting on the executive chair cleared his throat and made a loud chuckle. His eyes pierced all over her with a hint of mockery before he speaks. “Well, lady, you are wrong. You are absolutely for sale now." “No!” she screamed in utter disbelief. “Yes, you are! Be ready, you are sold now!” It was the middle-aged man who snarled at her. A grim smirk flashed before the thick lips of the man, whose Boss wanted women as beautiful as Gerthel. “So, how much is the price for this fine lady?” he asked again. The middle-aged man grinned satanically per Gerthel’s observation. She judged him as a Satan now, who will be turning her life into hell. “She is all yours for Ten Thousand Dollars,” the middle-aged man blurted out with excitement. “What?! you are selling me like a bag of fruit? How dare you! I repeat, Sir, I am not for sale!” Gerthel moved with intent to march out from the room and outside of the big, luxurious building, which she surmised to be actually a prostitution den when the two brusque men who grabbed her in the street took each of her arms and pinned her in between them. “Let me go! You idiots!” she shouted at the two men while taking her full strength in order to get away from them. It was futile, however. II Gerthel wanted to shift into her wolf form, but even if she will do so, she could feel that the men around her are not humans too. They are either wolves or worst dragons and vampires. She will be nothing compared to them. She closed her eyes and thought to play well with their games. It is better to fight with one man than with four of them. So, she decided to be sold to the stranger who just barged into the room to buy her. As she entered the highly expensive car of the man who bought her, she was welcomed by a lavender scent, which made her fall asleep after a few seconds of taking her seat inside the car. She did not know what happened next. When she woke up, the car was at its halt already and they were somewhere that she did not know. She immediately fixed herself and glanced at the man beside her. “Where are we?” she asked in a low voice. She does not want to sound arrogant and she does not want to anger the man. “You will know later on. May I know your name?” the man asked her. Gerthel frowned but still, she responded. “Gerthel.” “Gerthel, I am Gab, the right-hand man of the owner of this mansion,” he said in return. She just gave the man a short nod and then she lets her eyes roam around the premises. She noticed that she was being brought to a big and luxurious mansion. The place screamed luxury, elegance, and wealth. “This is your room, Gerthel. You will stay here from now on.” Gab said before he left her alone in the room. Just like the other part of the mansion, the room assigned to her, was big and luxurious, starting from the carpeted floor, the vanity mirror, the side table with a golden lamp, and the bed, which looks like a Queen’s bed. She walked near the window and opened it. She looked outside and was in awe to see the beauty of nature around the mansion. As she looked down, a sudden smile crept through her lips. Near the window is a big tree, leading down the ground. If she wanted to escape, she can use the tree and it will be easy to find a way to jump out of the tall fence. Her wolf can already help her do that. Hope suddenly overwhelmed her. She closed the window and then she tested the softness of the bed. It was so soft that suddenly made her yawn. And then sleep, slowly cradled her. A knock on the door awakened Gerthel. Dragging her feet out of the bed, she approached the door and opened it. It was an old lady wearing a maid’s uniform. “Miss Gerthel, I would like to inform you that dinner is ready. If you are hungry already, you may go down to the dining area and we will serve you. If you wanted to eat in your room, we can also bring your food in here,” the old woman said. “I prefer to eat here for tonight. Thank you,” she shortly replied and the old maid smiled at her. “As you wish, Madam. Your food will be here in a minute.” The old woman thereafter left Gerthel. When the old woman returned, she was already carrying a tray with food on it. Gerthel could not find any complaint about the food. The steak was soft and perfectly cooked, the mashed potato has an aftertaste effect after melting into her mouth and the strawberry juice seemed to be freshly made from a juicer. The chocolate cake was just perfect for her liking. She rated the food a perfect ten. However, it does not make her change her mind to escape from the place. That night, she tried to escape from the mansion. However, she lost her balance while climbing down from her window to a big tree that would lead her down to the ground. She closed her eyes and attempted to shift into her werewolf form to avoid injury when she fall to the ground. Before she could shift into her werewolf form, however, someone grabbed her and she found herself in the arms of an almost seven-footer, a well-muscled man whose golden eyes flickered with amusement as he carried her just like a doll without any weight at all. She is five feet and seven inches tall but she felt like a dwarf compared to him. She was truly mesmerized. Her heart pounded while the wolf inside her cried out, MATE! Did she just find her second chance mate? She thought.

I Her heart went wild, and so with her wolf inside. But the gorgeous man just looked at her with cold eyes. There were no traces that he felt what she felt. Her mate's pull toward her seemed to be not working. Until she realized by sniffing at him that he is not just a wolf. He is something more! “What are you doing in that tree at this hour?” his voice was colder than his eyes. “Err, I am sorry,” confused and rattled, she said. She will not of course admit to the man that she was trying to escape. He was looking at him intently. The light post nearby made her see how gorgeous the man could be. She had seen handsome werewolf men, but this one is far above them. His aura creates an illusion for someone who will see him that a Greek God just came down from the sky. “You better return to your room. Escaping is useless,” he said after a while, which brought scarlet color to Gerthel’s face. He easily sensed her plan of escaping, which has been a failure. Thanks to that tree and to him. Just nodding, she immediately ran toward the main door and head straight to her bedroom. The man followed her running frame with his squinting golden orbs before he moved, walking around the premises of the mansion, as if he was a night guard, roaming around. Inside her room, Gerthel could still hear her erratic breathing. She placed her hands on her chest as she tried to pacify her emotion. “Moon Goddess, I was just rejected by my mate, but here you are again, giving me a second chance mate, who is as cold as an iceberg,” she said whining. She dropped her body lazily on the bed and hugged the pillow beside her. Her plan of escaping was useless. She sighed as the image of the man who caught her escaping but save her at the same time from being crippled if her body hits the ground, suddenly flashed in her mind. “Mate! He is ours!” her wolf shouted inside her mind, making her sigh once more. "Hey, we were just rejected, stopped claiming that man now. I cannot accept another rejection, you know?" she retorted to her wolf, who introduced herself as Thella. She closed her eyes and the last thing that was in her vision before she dreamily drifted into her dark zone was the gorgeous man with golden eyes looking at her intently. Outside, the man with golden eyes looked up into the window near the big tree and chuckled. He walked to the main door of the mansion and decided to retire for the night seeing that everything on the premises seemed to be completely alright. II On the second night, Gerthel was informed that she was already arranged to please the Boss. “Miss Gerthel, please be ready by eight o’clock in the evening. You will be brought to the Boss as his new bed warmer. Please let me know if you need help,” a different maid came, which Gerthel guessed to be the Chief Maid, told her. She was tongue-tied, even when the Chief Maid left her room. After regaining her senses, she shook her head as if trying to forget about what the Chief Maid told her just a while ago. She sat on her bed thinking. She had already taken a bath and she will not repeat bathing for the sake of that man, they called Boss. “What if that Boss is a violent man? What if he will hurt me physically? What if he is an old evil Lord? Gosh, if I need to transform into my wolf form I will just so I can defend myself and my purity,” Gerthel thought while her fists clenched both in anger and nervousness. She looked at the clock and noticed that it was already past seven o’clock in the evening. She only has less than an hour before she will be brought to the room of that evil man, they called Boss. She stood up and opened the wardrobe cabinet, which according to the maid was for her. There inside the cabinet, she saw a lot of dresses, seductive nighties of different colors, pieces of underwear that mostly are thongs-type, brassieres, and others. She frowned seeing what type of clothes were inside the cabinet. They are all to be used to please or seduce the Boss, and she wanted to puke by just thinking of having s*x with an old evil man. She then grabbed the most decent dress that she could find inside the cabinet. It was a pair of tight-fitting jeans and a blue-green blouse, which made her frown too because of its low neckline, exposing almost half of her cleavage. “Urgghh, these dresses are disgusting,” she whined as she threw the clothes she chose to wear on the bed and search again inside the cabinet, but alas, she cannot find any more decent clothing inside that dressing cabinet. “At least with tight-fitting jeans like this, it will be hard for that old evil man to remove it from my body. I will definitely kick his ass before he could even try to remove my tight-fitting jeans,” she thought with fierceness in her eyes. She wore the tight-fitting jeans, that naturally showed off her curves and the low neckline blouse. She did not know how she could be able to cover her cleavage. Frowning, she opened the cabinet again and saw a white cotton spaghetti strap tight-fitting upper garment. She got it and wore it first before wearing the low neckline dress, thereby making her cleavage not visible anymore to those malicious eyes that would surely feast on looking at it if exposed. While waiting for the eight o’clock time, she walked to the window and opened it, hoping to see again the man who caught and saved her from falling a night ago. Sadly, she could not see even a shadow of him, and worst, she could not even escape from this room now since she could not see a way out, except for that tree near the window, which she tried last night but failed. When she heard knocks on her door, her heart suddenly palpitated out of nervousness. Trying to calm herself, she made a deep breath in repeated manners. When the door opened, she was already a bit calm and braver. “Miss Gerthel, it is time to go to the Boss’ room. He is waiting for you already,” the same maid came to her room and guided her to the Boss’ room. The Chief Maid knocked thrice first before opening the door, which seemed to be left unlocked. “Please get inside, Miss Gerthel,” the maid said. Gerthel swallowed hard her saliva as she could feel her throat starting to dry up before her feet moved to get inside the room. The room was dimly lighted and all Gerthel could see was the back of a tall frame near the closed window. She kept her silence. “I hope you will not face me, it will be much better, I can run now, going out of this room,” she thought frantically. However, it seemed like the Moon Goddess did not hear her prayer. The man slowly moved his body until he faced her. “You?!” To her shock, she even pointed her finger at the man, while her eyes were wide as the full moon. "Yes, it is me. What is so surprising?" the man's eyes squinted as he made a few regal steps until he was almost an inch away from Gerthel.

I With his penetrating eyes, the Boss looked at Gerthel from head to foot and then he smirked. “You looked so conservative, huh,” he said with a lifted eyebrow. His hand reached for her chin and forced her to look at him. Swallowing her saliva, Gerthel looked into his eyes and try not to bat. “Indeed, I am a conservative woman. Is it not obvious?” she retorted with bravery. She could not bear not to answer him back. If she can prolong the time in order for the Boss to forget about the real agenda why he called her to be in his room, it will be much better. There was mixed emotion in her, excitement and fear unlike her wolf inside who seemed to be purely excited to meet again their second chance mate. “I can guess that you did not prepare in coming to me tonight.” It was a statement rather than a question which the Boss let out in a disappointed tone. His eyes never left her. “My apologies. I was dragged in here without my consent. You see, Sir, I was a free woman, I have my own home when robust men forcefully brought me to that prostitution den, and then here comes your trusted man, buying me off from them just like a bag of fruit,” she said not hesitating to let out what was in her mind. “Let this egotistic Boss know that not all women come to his room to please him,” she thought while trying to never still bat an eye. His eyes narrowed while looking at her as he let loose his fingers on her chin. “So, you mean, you were just forced to be here?” “Yes!” “A lot of women use that alibi to pretend to be hard to get. Your cost was not simply commensurate to a bag of fruit. You are definitely expensive for Ten Thousand Dollars.” His voice has that sarcasm that made Gerthel flare up. She removed his fingers from her chin and with fiery eyes, looked at him. “I am not pretending. I can return your Ten Thousand Dollars if you will just allow me to go home now,” she said with confidence. “I can definitely pay you that little amount,” she further stated with her chin up. His laughter filled the four walls of the room. “If you are not ready yet tonight, alright, I will let you go for now. But remember, you cannot use alibis the next time. Get out of here before I change my mind,” he sneered at her, his haunting eyes pierced into her like she was easy prey. Gerthel practically ran out of his room, when he motioned for her to go. It was a chance that she will never let go without grabbing. She locked her door the moment she entered it, for fear that he might change his mind and follow her inside her room. She was gasping for breath as she sat on her bed. “Until when could I get away from him?” she thought with a feeling of hopelessness. II For around two days, Gerthel felt relaxed. She did not notice the Boss, straying around his mansion. “Hmm, Mr. Gab, where is the Boss?” she simply asked the Boss’ right-hand man, who looked at her with a malicious grin. “Why are you asking, Ms. Gerthel? Do you miss him so soon?” he asked with such a malicious grin on his face, unfading. Gerthel rolled her eyes and gave the man a quick shake of her head. “I just asked, nothing more.” “Ohh, he is out of the country. He might be back tomorrow or maybe the next day.” “Really?” she asked while a sigh let out from her mouth. She then smiled at the Boss’ right-hand man and let out a sigh again. With a raised eyebrow now, Mr. Gab eyed her seriously. “Do not let the Boss ever feel that you are happy that he is not around. Do not let him feel that you do not like him or wanted him. Do we understand each other, Miss Gerthel?” “Err, alright. My apologies,” she said, as she automatically erased the smile flashing on her face. She excused herself from Mr. Gab and walked fast to her room. Knowing that the Boss was not around, Gerthel decided to succumb to the inviting water in the swimming pool after a few minutes of having her light dinner. She grabbed the two-piece swimming suit inside her wardrobe cabinet, wore them, and covered her body with a white bathrobe. But then, she opened the cabinet again and got the white shorts she saw, which she put on over her sexy bikini swimsuit. She then walked toward the recreation area quickly, not wanting the guards around to look at her while she was just in her bathrobe. She sat on the lounge chair first nearby the pool and watched the rounded moon shining upon her. She remembered her best friend Karla, her Aunt Laura, and Uncle Tony and she was not able to control the falling of tears from her eyes. She suddenly missed Karla and her parents, the people she considered her only family. Now, no one is left with her. She is alone and worst, being held captive inside this place. She wiped her tears and stood up slowly from the lounge chair. “So, I will be having a companion here?” Gerthel’s silence has been broken by such a male voice, which was so familiar now to her. Gerthel immediately turned around, surprised. In a panic, she hastily covered her eyes with her hands, to the laughter of the Boss, whom she never thought would be arriving so soon. He even came closer to her and hold her hands covering her eyes, then removed them therefrom. She outrightly closed her eyes not wanting to see his almost naked body. Still holding her hands, he whispered near her right ear. “Open your eyes, and look at me,” he said, his warm breath tickling her. Slowly, Gerthel opened her eyes and looked at his face. She dared not to look down. “Why haven’t you put on your bathrobe at least while wandering around? You know, the wind is cold, you might catch some colds,” she said in an almost shaking voice. “So, you care for me eh? Don’t worry even if I am naked in front of you the whole day, I won’t catch a cold,” he said while looking at her with mischief that made Gerthel’s heart spin rapidly.

I “Ahmm, no, I mean, of course. I don’t want you to get sick,” she shakingly replied, remembering what Mr. Gab had just told her a while ago. He seemed to have appreciated her reply as his usual cold face suddenly smiled warmly. “Now, let me help you remove your bathrobe, because of course, you will not soak in the pool wearing that, right?” he said with a hint of naughtiness on his tone, again. “Oh, I can manage,” she said in resistance but his hands already moved and in just a millisecond her robe was already down the nearby lounge chair. He looked at her from her head down and then frowned when he saw her white shorts covering her bikini swimming attire. “Really conservative, huh?” He chuckled. “I … I just don’t want the guards to …” she was not able to finish her words because the Boss already captured her lips and kissed her with such passion that made her melt in his arms. She did not know how to kiss back, this is actually her first kiss, and oh, she did not expect that kissing is such a wonderful thing! He deepened his kiss when he felt her not resisting. He let his tongue wander around her mouth until it caught hers. He gave her a torrid kiss as a finale. After such passionate and torrid kissing, the Boss looked at her with that unwavering mischief in his eyes. “Let us go down to the pool and swim,” he suggested, and before she could protest, he already scooped her swiftly, to her surprise, and carried her down the swimming pool. “Are you ready to swim?” he asked her while still carrying her. He did not put her down yet in the water. “Yes, please put me down now,” she said feeling embarrassed. She knew that there are a few guards nearby. “In a while, you seemed to be feeling not ready to dip in the water yet.” He continued to hold her in his arms. “Oh, no need to carry me. I am fine, I am not cold, and I can swim now.” She stammered again and she wanted to reprimand herself, so with her wolf, Thella, who seemed to be doing a jumping jack in delight. Without thinking twice, the Boss put her down in the water but wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. “You think you can still avoid me now?” he murmured as he let his hands slide down her buttocks and pulled her much closer to him. II Gerthel gasped some air as her eyes grow wide. She felt his hardening manhood on her stomach as he is much taller than her. “Boss, let us swim,” she whispered with a shaking voice while trying to detach her body from him. However, instead of letting her go, he lifted her up and cupped her rounded buttocks with his big hands. “Wrapped your legs around my hips, now,” he then murmured in an ordering tone but Gerthel did not move her legs. “That was your Boss’ order, do it now!” he murmured again as he started kissing her neck. Gerthel’s breathing became frantic as she tried to think wisely. “Hmm, Boss, let us save the best for last. Please do not take me now, not here, wait for a few more times then I would be the one who will offer myself to you voluntarily and gladly,” she murmured to him while cupping his face and looking at him with such eyes seeking patience and understanding. If she needs to use her charm in this way to persuade him to agree to her request, she will do so, with much more acting. “Gaddamit. I will be going crazy, woman!” he hissed. The frustration was evident on his face. Gerthel did not just easily give up. She looked at him, pleadingly, “I beg you, please? Is it not be more exciting if I will gladly surrender to you? Please spare me first today and I promise you, you will not regret it when our first time happens,” she said gently, still cupping his face with her hands, hoping that she could be able to convince him. He stood there unmoving while his eyes were focused on her. He was looking at her with lust and some other emotions lingering in his eyes, that Gerthel could not comprehend completely. After a while, he sighed and nodded, “Alright, let us just swim now. I will be looking forward to that promise of yours, woman,” he said softly looking at her with squinting eyes. He patted her butt and motioned for her to swim. Gerthel was able to breathe with relief. “Thank you, Boss. Come on, let us swim,” she said smilingly as she swam away from him. He followed her and after a few minutes, they were already enjoying the water, with the Boss taking some stolen kisses and touches on her, which she could not do anything but accept. After more than half an hour in the water, Gerthel could feel the wind's coldness overwhelming her whole body already. “Enough for this swim, Boss. Let us dry ourselves now?” she said while she could feel that she was already starting to shiver. Seeing that, she was getting cold already, the Boss nodded. "Come, let me help you up," he said as he offered his hand. Not thinking anymore, Gerthel took his hand and let him guide her out of the pool. He then grabbed her white bathrobe from the lounge chair and put it on her. "Go to your room, and get a shower now. Then meet me at the balcony on the second floor, we will have some tea," he said and motioned for her to go. "Thank you. If you will excuse me now," she said and then walked away from him. He followed her back with his eyes, with his expression unfathomable. Then he got the big towel he threw on the other lounge chair a while ago and followed Gerthel.

I He intended to follow Gerthel into her room. He is really getting hot and he wanted to ravish her. Watching her swaying hips, with just a bathrobe wrapped in her body, really turned him on. However, he suddenly remembered what she told him and stopped walking. He closed his eyes while clenching his teeth and then made a slight turn. This time, he walked straight to his own bedroom. He showered immediately while trying to release the heat overwhelming his senses. He could not fathom why he was able to agree with her condition. No woman was able to do that to him in her entire life. Women come to his bed willing and able. Always ready to please him, but this woman, this newly bought bed warmer of his right-hand man seemed to be making things difficult for him, but alas, he even got the patience, which he never knew, where he got. He is an impatient man, always, actually. He got what he wanted, anything, anyone, anytime, and anywhere. How dare this woman refused him. Her refusal was subtle that he could not fight against it or act against her wishes. He cursed under his breath and continued showering. “Don’t take too long to be ready for me, Woman!” he sneered while grabbing the white towel on the hanging rock. On one hand, inside her room, Gerthel just finished showering too. She is undecided if she will still meet him on the balcony on the second floor. As much as possible, she wanted to be distant from him, otherwise, she might be able to give up her defenses so soon, which she really wished, will not happen. She got a pair of sleeveless cotton T-shirts and leggings inside her wardrobe cabinet and wore them, without the intention anymore of meeting the Boss for tea time. She wanted to sleep and rest. It was just drinking tea and his right-hand man can join him in that. Sleepiness was already starting to envelop her whole senses when she heard knocks on her door. She stiffens and alighted from her bed, in panic. “Could it be that the Boss was the one knocking? Is he angry that she did not come for the tea drinking time that he set tonight?” she thought while she walked to the door and opened it. “Miss Gerthel, the Boss is waiting for you on the second-floor, balcony. Please hurry, he was there for around twenty minutes already.” It was the Chief Maid, who come to her room. “Gosh, alright. I will go now,” she said and got out of the room, without anymore changing her clothes. Stepping on every stair to the second floor, Gerthel heart was beating wildly. She did not see yet how the Boss got pissed off when disobeyed and she does not want to suffer any result when he got angry. When she reached the balcony on the second floor, Gerthel take a few deep breaths to relax herself before she approached him. “Here I am, Boss. Apology if I am late, I did not mean to fall asleep,” she readily said, offering her apologies. He turned his head and gazed at her nonchalantly. “You seemed to have not known my rules yet inside this mansion,” he then said coldly. He stood up and looked at him with ferociousness. “I am finished drinking my tea, Woman and I don’t have the luxury of time to wait while you sip your tea,” he said further, and then he left her without looking back at her, even once. II Gerthel’s mouth became muted, while her feet seemed to have been rooted on the floor, where she stood. She followed his wide and straight back as he headed away from her. In her thoughts, however, she found a relief that he left already. She then returned to her bedroom. The Boss’ mood got worse when he noticed that Gerthel did not even bother to follow him to make further amends for her mistake. He wanted to curse the woman for being so defiant and hard-headed. “Maybe you need to feel my punishment, for you to remember to follow my orders and rules in this house,” he thought with his eyes squinting. Before Andreitte could fall asleep, she heard knocks again on her door. With a bit of frown on her face, she alighted from her bed and opened her door. “Miss Andreitte, what did you do to piss off Boss Dar?” It was Mr. Gab who came knowing on her door. His expression was cold and one of his eyebrows was raised while glaring at her. She batted her eyes, unable to look into his eyes directly. So, the Boss’ name is Dar?“ she thought. “Miss Gerthel! Are you listening to me?” “Ohh, am… I mean, my apologies, I forgot that he invited me tonight for tea time on the balcony on the second floor. I slept, unintentionally.” “Miss Gerthel, please be reminded that every word of Boss Dar should be followed. Any disobedience or defiance to his words means punishment or worst, death,” Mr. Gab’s tone this time was firm and authoritative, while his eyes looked at her with intensity. “I apologize again Mr. Gab,” she bit her lips and bowed her head. She did not think that not seriously considering his simple tea time invitation would end her up in trouble. “The Boss said, you will be punished Miss Gerthel,” Mr. Gab said in a fierce tone, that suddenly brought fear in her. She looked up at him and tried to ask while controlling her voice to rattle. “What… what kind of punishment, Mr. Gab?” “I do not know yet, you will know it tomorrow once Boss Dar called you.” Suddenly, Gerthel saw herself in her imagination, being tied in both hands, with the Boss holding a long tail of the stingray, ready to whip her back. She batted her eyes, and then she closed them not wanting to imagine more of what will comes next.

I Early in the morning, loud knockings awakened Grethel. She opened the door and saw that it was Mr. Gab again. As if totally awakened, she guessed what Mr. Gab’s presence this morning means then. With eyes fearful, she asked, “Mr. Gab, goodness, would my punishment starts now?” “Yes. I have here with me, Ms. Dahlia,” Mr. Gab said while glancing at the woman beside him, which Gerthel did not notice from the onset. “Oh, nice meeting you, Ms. Dahlia,” she said with an embarrassed tone. She did not notice her a while ago. “Ms. Dahlia, I will leave you now with Ms. Gerthel. Just explain to her why you are here,” Mr. Gab said before he turned his back on the two women. “Ms. Gerthel, would it be fine to meet you at the third guest room from here after one hour? I was told to teach you, how to please a man,” Ms. Dahlia said with a smile. She seemed to be just comfortable with what she said but Gerthel on the contrary was shocked upon hearing her uttered words. “What?” she asked furrowing deeply. “Just see me in the guest room, I mentioned a while ago after one hour. I will explain everything to you there,” Ms. Dahlia said smilingly again and then walked away after excusing herself from Gerthel, politely. Gerthel got inside her room with creases on her forehead getting deeper. To satisfy her curiosity about what she heard a while ago from the mouth of Ms. Dahlia, she showered quickly and dressed up then went to the guest room specified by Ms. Dahlia. But suddenly, she felt her stomach rambling. She looked at her wristwatch and noticed that she still has at least twenty-five minutes before the designated time allotted to her by Ms. Dahlia to see her. She decided to eat breakfast first. “Hello Ms. Gerthel,” the Chief Maid who saw her enter the dining area, greeted her. “Hello, I need to eat my breakfast in twenty minutes. Can you please give me the easiest way to eat breakfast?” she said while forcing a smile to the Chief Maid. The Chief Maid nodded and then suggested.“Alright. How about a waffle, hot chocolate, and a banana?” “Yes, those food you mentioned are just perfect.” She then sat on the chair and waited for the food to be served to her. Just a few seconds and she was already eating her breakfast. In fifteen minutes, she was able to finish her food. Just as she was standing from her chair when the Boss suddenly entered the dining area and looked at her coldly. “Good morning, Boss Dar,” she said greeting him with a small smile. He just looked at her and asked for a coffee from the maid standing near him. She excused herself from him but just like before, he just looked at her coldly. II After knocking thrice, she enters the guest room where Ms. Dahlia was waiting for her. “Here I am now, Ms. Dahlia. What was it that you mentioned a while ago? Kindly clarify,” Gerthel immediately said. “Ms. Gerthel, we will start your training this morning, then in the afternoon, before the sun sets, you will be cleaned and beautified to the liking and satisfaction of the Boss,” Ms. Dahlia stated as she motioned to Gerthel to sit on the long couch inside the room. Gerthel gulped some saliva, fears started to creep into her body. “Ms. Dahlia, can I, I mean can I request from you not to train me at all? I know what to do. I can please a man in my own way?” she asked nervously but she tried to hold her chin up. Ms. Dahlia laughed at her upon hearing her request. “No, I cannot do that, or I will be a slice of dead meat. I am here to do my duties and that is to teach you how to please a man in the most desirable way. By the way, Ms. Gerthel, are you still innocent when it comes to satisfying a man’s lustful desires?” she asked, calmly. With her face extremely blushing, Gerthel nodded. “Oh my! Anyway, don’t worry Ms. Gerthel, the Boss is a good and gentle lover,” Ms. Dahlia said in a whispering manner. Gerthel’s eyes grew wide as she looked at Ms. Dahlia with suspicion. “Ms. Dahlia, don’t tell me that you are one of the mistresses of the Boss? Have you been on his bed before?” Ms. Dahlia shook her head with a controlled giggle. “I wish I did, but he never invited me yet. I will be much willing, just in case,” she said almost laughing. In a way, Gerthel felt relieved. She could not fathom what to feel just in case she will learn that the woman in front of her has had a love-making moment with her second chance mate. “Ms. Gerthel, let us start the training now,” all of a sudden, Ms. Dahlia said. “By the way, do you at least have any experience caressing a man’s chest or holding his manhood?” Ms. Dahlia asked such a question like it was just a natural question again but Gerthel was shocked once more. She looked at Ms. Dahlia with eyes as wide as a saucer. “What are you talking about, Ms. Dahlia?” with a furrowed forehead she asked the woman, who claimed to be her trainer. Ms. Dahlia, who seemed to like Gerthel at the onset that she saw her, smiled at her and then whispered something in her left ear. “Ms. Gerthel, you need to gently caress the chest of the Boss. You can do it in a circular motion then you have to crawl your hand or hands down to his manhood. You have to gently hold it, massage it, and then…” Ms. Dahlia said then she paused for a while. With her face burning like a fire already, Gerthel said, “Ms. Dahlia that was so gross!” Ms. Dahlia could not control her laughter anymore. After calming herself, she moved her head, and when her mouth was so close already to Gerthel's right ear, she murmured something to her again. “What? Goodness! You are just joking Ms. Dahlia, right?” Gerthel said aloud and in panic mode. Ms. Dahlia shook her head. “No, I am not joking Ms. Gerthel. To please the Boss and in order for him not to punish you further, you have to do what I have just whispered to you.”
