The following morning the sun rises slowly over the blue horizon.Waking up feeling sore in addition to feeling a bit tired Speranza looked at the s.p.a.ce next to her.
His s.p.a.ce was already cold; -it had been a long time since he had left.
Feeling a bit sad not to see him she got up and stretched up her sore limbs.
Spotting her reflection, that reflected in the copper mirror she frowned. Did Arkalat not know what restraint was?
Her neck was full of bright very apparent kiss marks!
Her face flushed bright red!
Seriously, how was she to be seen now?
As she looked down at her body, she realized that it wasn"t only her neck!
Her body was black and blue from kiss marks, as well as, the rough manhandling he served her last night.
However, she then looked at her wrist the binds had left no marks at all even if they had been wrapped around securely.
While they did not hurt one did not need to be very smart to guess on how those marks had come into existence.
Looking at how he did not remove her cloth but only tossed them two each side for her bust holding bustier.
While her skirt reached down to the ankle, it nicely split on each side, up to the hips showing off her pretty legs.
Thus, nothing had prevented him from "gaining entrance" or kept his hands from eagerly frolic inside as they teased her little flower bud.
Thinking of what he had done to her the night previous; -she had liked it!
Also if she had found it a bit frustrating that he had not let her move her hands as she wished, the excitement it had given her, she had liked it.
Biting her lower lip as her face heated, then she set out to do her morning routine.
Straightening the appearance of her clothes, she gazed to her right.
Noticing four new girls that she had never seen before.
They all kept their head plus their eye site down to the floor.
They had been thoroughly traumatized by Arkalat"s ruthless methods.
They dared not breathe too loudly; -afraid to offend this new mistress.
Sweeping a gaze at her new maids she sighed, why did he a.s.sign that many peoples again?
Was she an idiot that could not get dressed and comb her hair?
But seeing their scared expression, she could guess their mind.
After all, she had learned much more about her newlywed husband.
If he spoiled her rotten, the rest of the world seemed to be like of mud or air.
"Well now, please present yourself and tell me your jobs."
She spoke in a gentle tone trying to rea.s.sure them she was not going to throw them into a fire pit!
The servants looked at one another seeming to not believe their own eyes.
Their new Mistress seemed to be kinder, the master, however, mean he was maybe their new masters would not overly mistreat them.
They, after all, followed his kind wife around, If she liked them likely she could place some complimenting words on their behalf!
The girl tried to speak all at once!
Then they all looked at each other with a gaze that said me first!
Looking, at them, she shook her head slightly.
Pointing to what seemed to be the youngest among them she said.
"What"s your name."
The girl pointed toward herself as if she disbelieved she had been chosen to speak first!
Nodding to her Speranza waited for the girl to speak her ident.i.ty.
"I am called Saya."
The girl harboured a green tunic that looked beyond tattered.
Her hair the colour of sunshine blond and green eyes made her look cute with her childish features.
Speranza smiled at her and continued.
"Saya do tell me, what are your skills."
