It's a little after noon and Donna Valentino is still unconscious, hogtied on the couch. The male servant is wide eyed with terror, bound to a chair with his pants around his ankles. He's drooling around a leather gag, the spit gathering in his chest hair and pooling on his half hard cock.
The candlestick phone is a work of art itself, beautiful, like everything Donna Valentino uses, like everything she owns. Ramona continues staring at it, mouth dry, the smell of the nearby cup of cold coffee adding to her nausea. A gentle breeze carries through the French doors, playing against the voile drapes. A handful of lazy insects circle the fruit bowl, the low buzz barely registering above the feminine hum of Oblata's oral tribute.
The sweet thrall kneels between Ramona and the desk. Devoting all her attention to her mistress's perfect tits, she is seemingly oblivious to Ramona's conflicted thoughts. The woman's enthusiastic tongue keeps Ramona's mind sharp, but does nothing for her nerves.
Ramona shifts in the heavy leather chair and hitches up her sheer skirt. Oblata eagerly meets Ramona's lustful eyes. She lowers her head and mouths the heat between the demon's shapely thighs. Her tongue strokes firmly against the clitoris as she suckles, drifting lower now and then to feast on Ramona's slick cunt.
The thrall's breath radiates contentment, satisfaction. These offerings of the soul give Ramona the will to finally lift the receiver. The French operator makes the international connection and Ramona waits.
"Good afternoon, 986."
Ramona pauses. On hearing the calm and familiar butler's voice, unwelcome tears blur her vision. She struggles to keep her voice even.
"Hello Carter. Is my mother home?"
There's the sound of mother's laughter, echoing in the hallway.
The butler takes his time answering. When he does, she can hear a lump in his throat.
"Miss Ramona."
"I really must speak with her. It's..."
"I had to destroy your things. I couldn't bear to destroy them, but I had to. I'm terribly sorry, Miss."
"Oh..." Ramona covers her mouth to stifle a sob.
Mother's sparkling voice again, distant but closer now, questioning. Carter puts his game face back on impressively fast.
"This isn't the right number, I'm terribly sorry, perhaps you meant to ask for 989, the cricket club? Good day."
The hiss of the empty line. Then the hum of the dead tone.
Oblata takes the receiver from Ramona's hand and hangs it back in place.
Ramona shudders as she holds her silent sobs at bay.
"I wish..." Oblata says timidly, "I wish you'd said you were calling your mom. I'd have said... said something."
Ramona nods. "It was stupid."
The thrall's fingers still rest just inside Ramona. Her other hand settles on the barely covered breast. She shakes her head. "No. Not stupid at all. But I guess... I guess you're still... still thinking of things the way they were before. Not the whole..." Oblata stops as Ramona nods again, and the tears finally fall.
"She was laughing. Probably convinced herself it's all for the best." The sobs ease off, a weird numbness replaces the ache in Ramona's chest.
"A long time ago." Oblata brushes Ramona's tears gently from her cheeks. "Before we came along."
"Things are just carrying on without us."
"Must be, I guess, for a day or so." Oblata smiles wryly. "They'll be grateful they're not in here."
"Right." Back to reality. "Because this isn't the first time the Donna shut herself away to fuck something to death."
Oblata laughs nervously. "What happens after a day?"
Ramona doesn't answer, but the thrall's adorable gaze is steady now. Whatever happens after a day, Ramona will not have to face it alone. The most precious gift is this rational calm, where despite the lewdness of her penetrated snatch, Ramona has some dignity.
"We're totally fucked, aren't we? How am I supposed to know where to begin?"
Oblata's gaze shifts from Ramona to the bound man and back again. "Hey," the thrall says gently, "we're not done. You've got this."
Ramona meets her eyes again, uncertain. Mother would say that running a great house is no different to any other expression of mastery. Lady Norton, Ramona's tutor, would say that any problem can be broken down into manageable parts. Either one of them would be horrified to hear Ramona show weakness to a servant. Stiff upper lip.
"Tell me about the twelve you mentioned, who are they, what do they do?"
"Everything?"
Ramona sighs. "Could you please be more specific?"
"I'll try. But you know, all I remember, it's not... They have scary titles. I've only been around the slave master, the hunt master, and the game master. There's talk about others, the gold master especially, and the blood master, and I'd guess they're exactly what you'd expect them to be. There was an Opium master once, I think..." she tails off with a shrug. "I think the slave master deals with those things now."
It's criminal, all of it, like some mafiaesque cult. The twelve are wicked powerful people, maybe even demons themselves. Nothing Ramona has ever been taught prepared her for this.
"It's not enough."
Oblata echoes Ramona's thoughts. "I don't know enough. But he might," she nods at the bound man.
