Chapter 7

“Robert isn’t wrong, you do have a nice ass.” Jane says, closing the door to the bathroom.

“Thank you, Mistress.” Alexia says, blushing a nice shade of pink.

Jane reaches into the shower, getting the water running, and then turns to Alexia. “You may undress me now.”

Alexia steps forward, slowly removing Jane’s top, fumbling the smallest amount with her bra, and then drops to her knees to remove Jane’s socks, pants, and finally panties. Alexia holds onto the panties for a moment longer than necessary, both seeing and smelling the evidence of Jane’s arousal. “Is there anything else I can do you for mistress?” she asks, trying not to stare at her Mistress’ crotch.

“Like I said, Just the shower tonight. I plan for you to spend tomorrow night with us though, so make sure to prepare Lucia for that.” Jane responds, holding our her hand to help Alexia up.

As Alexia rises, Jane surprises her with a quick hug. “I really am glad you seem to be getting into this. I wouldn’t enjoy it nearly so much if I couldn’t tell you were happy.”

“I am as surprised as you are Mistress. I am determined to make the best of this situation though, and I plan to suggest it to Lucia as well.” Alexia says, more than a bit surprised at the hug. “Thank you for including me earlier, and for giving me a few minutes to feel like a real person again. And for letting the Master do ... that ... too.” She blushes again at the end.

“Robert has been wanting to do that since he first laid eyes on you. If Lucia decides to submit he will be even more excited, she’s exactly his type. Small, cute, and innocent.” Jane says with a smirk. “I remember the first time I brought a girl into our bed, he made her cum 8 times in about an hour, and when I told her it was time to finish off Robert and wrap things up, she nearly cried. She must have messaged me a dozen times trying to arrange more meetups, before I blocked her when she messaged Robert directly.”

“May I ask why you didn’t allow her to come back?” Alexia says, clearly interested.

“Too many limits, and she wasn’t interested in me at all.” Jane responds. “She was basically a pillow princess, wanting Robert to do all of the work, but not willing to do anything for him, or me. If I’m going to invest Robert’s time and energy into someone, they damn well better show they appreciate it to at least one of us.”

“I certainly appreciated it Mistress, and am happy to demonstrate at any time.” Alexia responds eagerly.

“Yes, you mentioned that. Save it for tomorrow, I’ll probably come up with something for you during the day, and you can truly show your appreciation tomorrow night.” Jane says.

The rest of the shower went relatively uneventfully, apart from Jane playfully smacking at Alexia’s hands when she tried to do a little more than clean at one point. Jane took her turn cleaning Alexia as well, wanting to get to know her new companion’s body. She found that in addition to her nice ass, she has firm C cup breasts, and toned legs, and just the hint of a tummy, which Jane finds cute.

After they both rinse, Jane instructs Alexia to dry her, and then helps the younger woman dry herself. “You don’t have clean clothes in here, do you?” Jane asks.

“They are in the guest room.” Alexia responds.

“Well, guess you are wearing a towel out then.” Jane says, helping Alexia wrap herself. “I will empty a drawer in my dresser, I would like you to keep 2 night outfits in it in the future. I know you need more things, I will take you and Lucia shopping this weekend.”

“Yes Mistress. Do I need to include clothes for Lucia in the drawer?” Alexia asks.

“Not yet. If she submits, Robert can clear a drawer for her. She’s more his type than mine. Do you have any idea if she is bi?” Jane asks.

“I don’t think so, but I haven’t exactly asked her.” Alexia says. “If you want her to serve you though, I can talk to her.”

“Please don’t. If any of the concubines does choose to submit to me sexually, I want it to be their idea. Their primary function is Robert, not me, after all. I didn’t really expect to find one bi concubine, much less multiple.” Jane responds. “Now, go talk to Lucia, and remind her that Robert will want breakfast at 7:30.”

“Yes mistress.” Alexia responds. “Would you like me to report to you in the morning?”

“That’s fine.” Jane says. “Off you go now.”

Jane and Robert settle into bed, Robert still a bit worked up from his adventure with Alexia. “You wouldn’t possibly be interested in some quick fun?” He asks.

“It’s late, and I’m tired. You are going to have more fun than you can handle tomorrow, if I am judging Alexia right.” Jane says.

“Damn. Ok honey, I love you. Good night.” Robert says, giving her a small kiss before settling onto his side of the bed.

As Jane turns off the light, she comes up with an idea to surprise Robert with tomorrow.

Alexia and Lucia talk for a few hours that night. At first Lucia is upset that Alexia has submitted to Robert and Jane, but Alexia explains that things are likely to get worse in the world far before they get better, if they get better at all. All they can do is try to make the best of the situation, which is why Alexia had picked Robert and Jane. She explains that if Lucia wants a family, children, anything more than to be a maid, she needs to consider submitting to Robert. After several hours of back and forth, they haven’t really gotten anywhere. Lucia admit that Robert seems like a good man, but she isn’t ready to admit this is her future.

The next morning Lucia awakens early, determined to make a good first impression. She took a quick bath, reminding herself to ask about a shower curtain if Mistress was in a good mood, got dressed, and managed to get downstairs without waking up Alexia.

Robert and Jane woke up next. Jane heads directly downstairs, while Robert goes about his usual morning routine of showering, getting dressed, checking in on work, before heading downstairs. Lucia is working at the stove as he enters the kitchen. “Everything going ok?” he asks

Lucia jumps a bit, not having heard him come downstairs. “Yes Master, almost done. I hope I did it right.”

“I’m sure you did fine.” Robert says, taking seat at the breakfast table. “Did you make anything for yourself?”

“I will after this.” She responds.

“Great, you can sit with me while we eat.” Robert responds. “I’d like for us to get to know each other better.”

“Yes Master.” Lucia replies, wondering if he wants to get to know her, or just get in her pants.

As she serves Robert, and then finishes cooking her own meal, the silence stretches. She awkwardly sits across from Robert with her food a few minutes later. She takes a few bites while the silence stretches on, and then she asks “What kind of work do you do Master?”

“I’m in middle management.” Robert says. “I promise, it’s very boring, mostly meetings that should have been emails all day. Alexia said you wanted to be a nurse. What got you interested in that?”

“The nurses were so nice when my mother passed away. I want to be able to help people the way they helped her, and me.” Lucia replies, tearing up a bit.

“I’m sorry, I should have guessed there was a connection. Are you ok?” Robert asks.

“I’ll be fine.” Lucia sniffles, looking away from him as tears slowly pour down her cheeks.

Fuck, Robert thinks. I can’t just leave her there crying. He stands up, and squats in front of her. “I’m so sorry to bring up something painful, especially at such a difficult time. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?” Robert says, genuinely feeling awful.

Lucia just shakes her head, but after a moment, she wraps her arms around herself a bit. Robert decides to risk it, and leans in to hug her. As his arms enfold her, the dam breaks, and Lucia begins truly sobbing. She wraps her arms around him, tightly as she shakes and says things Robert can’t quite understand, apart from something about her life being over.

“hush, hush, it’s going to be ok. I know life isn’t going the way you want right now, and trust me, this isn’t what I wanted to happen either.” Robert attempts to comfort her. “You are safe here though, and no one is going to hurt you.”

Lucia fights for control, and eventually manages to get out. “I had a plan. I was going to be a nurse, get married, have a little family of my own. I can’t do any of that now.”

“I’ll admit, the plan is definitely going to need to be adjusted.” Robert says reluctantly. “I have a wife, and even if I didn’t, I don’t think red cards can get married anymore. And I don’t know that you will be allowed to go to school, although if they allow it, we will do everything we can to make that happen. You can have a family though. You’ve got Alexia still, and Jane and I can be your family too.”

“That’s not what I meant. I never had any brothers or sisters growing up, and Alexia was my only cousin. I wanted children, multiple, who would have each other as well as me, so that they would never be alone.” Lucia says, crying a bit again. “How can I have kids that I know could end up detained? It’s bad enough to think about having a daughter, and watching her be bartered off to some strange man, but having a son that is taken away, that I may never see again, or know what happens to him? How could anyone be ok with that?”

Robert winces, realizing that the scale of the problem that he, Jane, and Alexia discussed yesterday is larger than they acknowledged. “I don’t know. Jane is looking into some things there, but I promise you, no one is going to force you to have a child if you aren’t comfortable with that.” He says.

Lucia pulls away a bit. “You say that now, but what if you don’t get any more concubines. At some point you are going to get tired of having a girl in your house who doesn’t serve her intended purpose. They didn’t let you claim me just to cook you breakfast.” She tells him, a bit of bitterness entering her voice.

“I’m not a rapist.” He says defensively. “I will never force you into anything. If the government says you have to, and you still say no, that’s a decision you will have to make. But I won’t make that for you or to you.”
