"Let's take a look up close."
We had to prepare the room where they have her laying in a hospital like bed. The corporation buildings act as a laboratory and a hospital when needed. Of course, we still have our own private hospitals that we have helped build in the human world and donate to. It's more discreet here and less humans.
"Hmm…so they are sourcing from stars now? Interesting."
"You're here." I turn my head to the side. Marques stiffens.
"Wh-a-what are you doing here." His voice trembles slightly.
"Just taking a peek." He folds his arms and leans forward towards the two-way mirror. Cisla is on the other side. Only Marques and I were in this room before he appeared through a trans-dimensional portal.
His hair flowing behind him aimlessly, his stature and clothing as elegant as he. The pleasure I feel whenever I'm near him makes my heart beat rapidly.
"You—have to stop appearing like this Vastava!" He says in a hushed raspy voice. He looks on the verge of collapsing. Biting his top lip incessantly.
"Patheos…" I say softly. I take him by the hand to help him calm his nerves.
I see the soft small smile appear on his face as he watches the others in the room intently. A small chuckle escapes his lips.
"This is…becoming more fun." He says before turning to leave. Just before he walks through the portal that he opened. He looks at Patheos. "Should I…kiss you…?"
He bows his head and forces the words out of his mouth, "Yes..."
Vastava walks pass me to plant a deep and passionate kiss on him. Biting his lip playfully, he swiftly turns to take his leave through the glowing circle of red sunders.
As the dust settles, we go back to observing the girl. I don't like the way it looks. Her body is riddled with star dust particles that are eating away at her very slowly.
"We have to find a way to separate her blood from the particles. It will be very tight Marques."
I turn fully to look at him. He does the same, his face still flushed from that one's touch. I smile warmly. I know that feeling. It's different when it's him. I brush his cheek moving closer wrapping my other arm around his waist.
Ah…this is OUR Patheos.
"I will do what I can." His voice makes a sweet humming sound in my ears.
Pulling away I say, "I know you will."

"When Sebastian and Daniel take notice of someone, I make it a point to notice them too." Mistress Tadanya says to me as we stand in her large office still in front of the door that we entered through.
Master Sebastian is behind me to my left and Daniel is behind me to my right.
"It is very rare for them to take notice of a mortal. It has only happened twice." She adds staring in Daniel's direction. "When Daniel was standing in your spot, I was skeptical at first…never having noticed him. And now look at him! One of my best and most trusted servants. So, when he gives his opinion on something I listen." Walking closer to me she touches my chin gingerly as I dare to look her in the eyes. "But even without their advice…I took notice of you even as Kara handed you your letter. You learn and adapt quickly. Well-disciplined and obedient, and the job you have done with Scott." She smiles just then, and I notice the glint in her eyes. "Daniel." Mistress Tadanya summons him.
Stepping away from me, Daniel walks in front of me taking her place holding a long somewhat thin book out in front of him. He holds it out for me to take. The room is still. I take it from him. He returns to the spot where he first stood. The book is titled: Edwin Estates: The Servant Guidelines, it's a light brown leather-bound book.
"Treat this as your holy book. Of course, you will make mistakes as is common of a human. But every effort that you make will overshadow those mistakes if they are not too grand. Besides this book you also have Daniel and Sebastian to help you and to answer any questions that the book does not. Now that you will live inside of this manor tread softly and keep your manners. There are so few human servants that reside here so if you are accosted by anyone for a sip of your blood do not be shocked. Of course, this is mentioned in the book, but I want to make it clear, should one of the children ask this of you, you must decline. Never give your blood to any of the young children that may reside or come through this manor. Do you understand what I am saying to you Matthew?" Mistress Tadanya pauses and gives me a stern glare with her arms crossed.
"Yes Mistress." I reply looking back at her as I have learned when we reach this level of servitude we can look directly at our Masters.
After leaving the Mistress's office Daniel takes me to my new room. I haven't officially moved into the Manor just yet. I think this is more of a tour.
"All of our rooms are different per your tastes. That means that you are free to decorate the room any way that you please if the current design is not to your liking." Daniel says to me as I walk around the room still taking everything in.
I have to admit that I am both overwhelmed and ecstatic! I want to jump off the walls I'm so excited! This room is larger than the studio that I lived in and it is definitely much bigger than the room that Scott and I shared in the Sanctorum. Even after walking around the Manor all day I still can't precisely say just how large this place is. But based off how large this room is, this place appears to be larger than I had first thought!
"Now that you have your book, the tour is concluded. Trust me, it is a long learning experience once you begin your new role. Remember that you are always being watched and have the potential to become a butler." He says and then looking off into the distance he concludes, "You could still be terminated given your performance regardless of anyone's recommendation."
As he turns to leave, I can't help but to ask, "Has that ever happened?"
He turns slightly and looks at me with soft eyes. He blinks and then after what seems to be thirty minutes of silence he says, "Unfortunately, I'm not the one that knows the answer to that question." Turning the knob he leaves closing the door behind him.
I'm allowed to stay in this room for the rest of the day to get accustomed to it. Even with Daniel's statement still roaming through my mind I slowly read through the guidelines. Wow, there are a lot of rules that I didn't get taught about! As I'm reading, I have realized that these seem to be rules that are specific to servants. I wonder if the butler rules are more restrictive. Well, it explains why servants and butlers in the Manor are so well mannered and disciplined. I mean, they are the very definition of perfection! Not exaggerating at all! These people are flawless! I may have only had two tours of the Manor this week beyond what I have already seen, but watching the servants and butlers perform their duties it's admirable. I can only hope to become as pristine as them.
I finished reading the book for the first time and feel as though I have entered into a completely different world! I exit my room and make my way to the Sanctorum.
"Matthew." I hear a familiar voice behind me.
Turning around I see Master Marques standing there in a beautiful dark grey two-piece suit next to Master Damarcio who is wearing a navy two-piece suit that is just as exceptional.
"Come to my office please." He gestures, turning in the same direction that his hand was gesturing towards.
Master Damarcio follows behind him and I follow after.
Once inside of his office I feel the same uneasiness that I felt inside of Mistress Tadanya's office. Yet the atmosphere is a little lighter. I find myself unconsciously looking around his office once we enter, something I didn't dare to do inside of Mistress Tadanya's. I'm brought back to attention when I hear fingers snapping.
"Oh, sorry Master Marques!" I apologize immediately for my error.
"It's fine. Just don't ever do that inside of Demetrio's office. He might kill you on the spot!" He says jokingly and laughs casually.
I didn't notice before, but Master Damarcio is as stunning to look at as Mistress Tadanya. Standing next to the bar with one hand in his pocket, the other holding his glass of rum he looks at Master Marques with such serenity.
"Prepare Scott for me. I haven't decided when I will have him. So just in case, make sure to spend at least four hours prepping him." He pauses glancing over at Master Damarcio watching as he sips his drink. "I intend to gift him to someone very special to me. When that happens, you will still be his groomer. Also, I'm not certain if this has been explained to you yet…but it is important that you be the one to train his next groomer as you are the most familiar with him and his habits." Leaning back, he waits for my reaction.
According to the servants guide this is a must. I'm supposed to coach the groomer replacing me about the slave and Master that I served. Replacement groomers are those that have shown exceptional skills and are chosen by their new master to take the place of a promoted groomer.
"Yes Master Marques. I understand. I have read my new guidelines and will not disappoint you." I reply bowing my head.
"Good. You're dismissed."
I turn to take my leave and ready myself for what I must do when I return to the Sanctorum.
"What? Bu—utt—tt—what does that mean?" Scott stammers after I tell him what I must do tonight before taking the key from Master Sebastian to unlock his chastity belt.
"It means that he plans to have sex with you soon and wants you to be prepared to receive him like the others were." I explain to him for the second time.
I reach out trying again to remove his belt, but he steps back again.
"So…the others…they…did this too?" He asks softly lowering his head.
"Yes, it's necessary. As you have seen."
"But four hours? How…I can't…can you…really?" He stammers.
I walk more slowly towards him again with my hands out reaching for the belt. "If I am ordered to, I must obey. Trust me—you will be thankful for this." I try to assure him.
And with his guard slightly lowered I grab the lock and unlock it quickly removing the belt before it hits him.
When his head rises, I see that he looks a bit defeated and is no longer resisting.
"Lie back on your bed and make yourself comfort." I order him. He complies.
Closing his eyes, he waits for hands and fingers.
I rub some of the oil that I use to moisturize both of our bodies on my hands making sure to get them good and oily before gently and slowly rubbing his tight pink hole underneath his balls. At the same time, I tugged roughly and slowly on his shaft rounding the rim with my ring finger. As I increase the speed a little, I stick one of my fingers inside of him. He twitches a bit…not expecting it.
I continue massaging his shaft increasing the pace every five minutes or so while adding one finger at a time. Once my entire hand is successfully inside of him, I continue to massage that soft little ball just inside of his asshole waiting for the thick cream to splatter out of his warm hard shaft that I am now caressing with great speed.
He moans and groans uncontrollably wanting so badly to come, trying to hold back. Until finally! A burst of relief sprouts fourth from his throbbing penis! I stop to clean my hands and to re-oil them only to repeat the process. I do this same thing for the last three hours. At hour four as I finish cleaning us both off and reach for the oil, there's a knock at the door.
"Yes." I say, thinking it's another groomer or slave.
The door opens and Mistress Tadanya enters the room, the door shutting behind her not being touched by anyone. I thought that I had locked the door too…of course they have powers. It's mentioned in the guidelines even.
"I only wish to watch you at work…if you don't mind." She states calmly with a warm smile.
"Of course, Mistress Tadanya." I invite her to sit on the couch behind me, but she decides to sit on the bed next to Scott who is still unaware of her presence drunk in ecstasy with glossy eyes.
She wipes the tears from his face. I quickly take my eyes off her to get back to what I was doing.
Mistress Tadanya stayed for the entire last hour. Watching me intently while I focused on Scott and what I was doing, making sure not to hurt him.
After I finished and prepared Scott's personal bath Mistress Tadanya walks over to me gliding her hand through the water of the tub kneeling next to it. I have the scented oils and bath salts in my hands and begin sprinkling them over the water.
"No wonder they favor you." She says in soft voice that's almost a whisper her eyes first on the water and now lifting to look at me. "I may have to steal you from them." Her voice and facial expression are so soft and serene. For some reason, Master Damarcio's face pops into my head.
After saying this, she calmly stands up removing her hand from the water. Giving me one finally look, Mistress Tadanya walks out of the room just as swiftly as she came in.
I place the half sleep Scott into his bath and begin to bathe him. Then it hits, she might make me one of her personal servants! A small shiver passes over me remembering the late nights in her chambers with Master Lucian… I'm not sure if I should be flattered or frightened…maybe both…
