Gina's Education Read online

  Robert just rolled his eyes and made a whistling sound of innocence.

  “Will the costumes need changing?”

  “I’ll let you know later. Probably only gowns for the main event; I think the rest are pretty much fine the way they are.”

  “I’ve given Gina the run of the three rooms, and told her to be ready at 3:00. She isn’t looking forward to it. She seems the most excited about being clothed!”

  “If she goes into any other area, the remote will alert you at the same time it warns her. If she ignores the warning, she gets the stronger message. Should she go into another area and past the fence, it will trigger the third button until she goes back.” Robert finished his coffee and asked, “Did you tell her about that?”

  “No.”

  Robert smiled in approval. “If you don’t have any particular job for her today, I might take some time to do some training with her.”

  Rose just nodded and smiled.

  *****

  Rose found Robert at his desk the next morning where she expected to see him going through the mail. She smiled at this man’s efficiency.

  “I’m thinking, with all the work we have been doing decorating and getting costumes…”

  Robert looked up from the mail, “Yes?”

  “Are you planning a Halloween party? There were so many parties at the manor; I thought it might already be planned.”

  “No.” Robert looked at his calendar, “but there is just enough time to send invitations if you would like. We had one a few years ago, but it was the oddest combination I have ever seen.”

  “Did you have a theme?”

  Now he looked at her blankly and asked, “Isn’t the theme Halloween?”

  Rose smiled, “We have been doing so much work on the Parker event, and getting costumes ready for everyone that it made me think of Halloween. Then I thought it would be fun to make it a ‘Night of the Undead.’ Vampires and werewolves and mummies – the clientele here would eat this up!”

  Robert put down the mail and laughed. “You know, they would!”

  “The decorating we are doing for next month’s event fits right in, too. We wouldn’t have to make too many changes.”

  “Well, I like the idea, and it beats having a lot of people show up as cigarettes, tampons and toilet brushes!”

  Rose was mentally trying to picture someone as a toilet brush and shook her head to free that image. He handed her the approved party list and, with a big grin, she left. “Thank you, Master.”

  The Halloween party gave Rose another duty and afforded Robert more time to train Gina. He finally saw some of the familiar family traits in her that he saw in Rose. She was very determined to please her sister, now that she knew what drew her to Rose in the first place.

  Robert had another plan for this girl, though.

  *****

  The decorations on the night of the party were exquisite! The dungeon effect was already in place for the upcoming wedding. It only took a few bats, spiders and web decorations to finish the decor. The whole downstairs became a stage for vampires, werewolves, mummies, witches and zombies.

  The food was fun, too. There were finger sandwiches with almond fingernails and ketchup blood where they had been ‘detached.’ Voodoo dolls were made from marshmallows and licorice, caramel spiders wandered all over the tables and on plates of ghostly meringues. There was a punch bowl that looked like a witch’s cauldron complete with the smoky effect of dry ice, and a buffet of Italian food because it looks the bloodiest, as well as lots of treats for desserts.

  Robert, of course, was Dracula. Rose dressed as Elvira. Drew and Maddie came as vampires. Gina was a witch. Just a few minutes before 8:00 the doorbell rang and the party began! Everyone looked spectacular in their costumes and seemed to be having a wonderful time.

  Rose and Robert circulated and danced with many people. While she danced with Drew, Rose learned some interesting details about Robert. “That gal over there, the bloody bride,” Drew told her, “was here six years ago. She is now a lawyer. Jodi over there in the gypsy costume graduated top of her class and is now a nurse. The tall one dancing with Robert – I can’t remember her name right now - Robert talked her into medical school. She is an intern in Boston. She graduates in June.”

  Rose couldn’t hide the surprise in her eyes, and Drew noted her pride for her Master. He smiled at her thinking, “she is so good for him.”

  Everyone ate, danced and socialized. At close to 10:30, Rose saw another couple entering the party. The Monster Mash was playing and most of the people were dancing. The man coming in was wearing a kind of Dr. Jeckel/Mr. Hyde costume and the woman was wearing a dog collar – nothing but a dog collar - attached to a leash. As they got to the bottom step, the woman tripped and fell. Instead of lifting her to her feet, Dr. Jeckel yanked hard on the leash, jerking her onto her face.

  Everyone stopped dancing in a wave of recognition, those closest to the stairs first. The music stopped and the room went silent.

  The house doctor moved closer. When Dr. Jeckel objected, he pulled himself to his full height and gave him that toothy grin. Dressed as a witch doctor with skull makeup accenting his menacing grin, the effect was as compelling on the man as it was on the girls; he backed off immediately.

  The voodoo doctor picked the woman up and took her to the examining room. She was in horrible shape; malnourished, while everyone noted the man was quite well-fed.

  Rose heard someone mention how well the woman’s costume fit the theme of the party. It was nervous sarcasm, but true – she looked like the walking dead.

  Jodi and the intern came over to help the doctor and shut the door to the examining room.

  Mr. Hyde took off the mask. He was already drunk. Heaven only knows what he had been doing to that poor woman. “You have no right to take her in there. She’s my slave!”

  Robert clenched his teeth, but asked in his quiet tone, “Is that your wife?”

  He surprised the man, who spun around to see who spoke. “Yeah. I gotta get in there.”

  No one was going to allow that. Chief of Police Paul was at Robert’s side, as were a number of other men. Robert stepped between the man and the door and explained, “She is with two doctors and a nurse. She is in good hands.”

  Even in his drunken state, he realized he was out-manned. The door opened after a short while and Jodi stepped out. She looked at the man with sympathy on her face and told him, “I’m sorry, but your wife died.”

  He looked stunned, but didn’t really react. It was hard to tell if he cared about her at all, but it didn’t seem that way.

  Police Chief Paul and two of his men took the man into custody.

  “What did I do?” He clearly had no idea why he was being arrested.

  Paul said, “We will tell you later, when you sober up.”

  The rest of the guests came over and said their goodbyes; most said it was a great party. Rose felt terrible.

  Robert, the gracious host to the last person, then went to examining room to see what really happened.

  Doc said, “I will fill out the death certificate with ‘broken neck.’ That should keep the drunk busy for a while.”

  Robert nodded, watching the man’s eyes. Jodi was still tending to the woman and Rose was confused. She saw her hand move and nearly jumped out of her skin! The woman made no sound, but grabbed Robert’s arm.

  He patted her hand and told her, “No, my dear, she isn’t dead, but if she went home with that lout, she would be soon enough.”

  Doc spoke again, “She hasn’t been fed regularly. I don’t know how long or how much damage has been done. We are taking her to the hospital as a Jane Doe and see to her needs. I can tell you one thing for sure; she will need a neck brace after the wrenching he gave her by the stairs.”

  “Good. I’ll get things ready on this end.” Then he turned to the woman on the table, “You are in good hands,” he told her. She actually smiled. He took her hand and said, “When you are up to it, I
have a job here for you. You don’t have to go back to him.”

  Tears filled her eyes; a glimmer of a smile on her lips forming the words, “Thank you.”

  After the ambulance came and took them to the hospital, Rose realized one person remained in the lounge waiting. It was Jodi’s husband.

  “Robert! I wanted to stay long enough to thank you. I’ve heard so many good things about this place once I got over the shock that Jodi used to work here. I wanted to meet you.”

  “Jodi is a wonderful girl with great potential. She just needed to tap into it.”

  “She took her time telling me about this place. She tied me up so I had to listen!” Both men laughed at this. “But when she finished telling me about her past and how you helped her get on her feet, I had to agree the past wasn’t so important.”

  Rose smiled at the idea, too. It seemed funny to imagine her tying him up to make him listen to the story of her working in this place, but it had merit. He might have run out the door before he got the whole picture!

  Shaking Robert’s hand, he continued, “I know she has thanked you, but I don’t know if you will ever understand just how much you did for her. She is so grateful. So am I.”

  After he left, Rose asked, “What did you do for her, Master Robert?”

  He grinned at her and said, “I taught her discipline. Then I suggested she go to school with the money she’d earned. She did the rest.”

  From what Rose had learned since Jodi had been at the manor, and what she learned at the party tonight, there was a lot more going on in this place than most people would guess!

  As they climbed the stairs, Rose said, “I don’t believe he was on the guest list, Master. How did he get it?”

  “I’m not sure,” he answered, “but I’ll certainly find out!”

  She had one more question. “What job will you give the woman who got hurt tonight?”

  “Well, I think we should interview her first, don’t you?” She nodded, and he added, “I suspect we’ll put her on the household staff.”

  *****

  When they finally retired for the night, Rose had some questions for her Master. “Master, why would that nasty man bring his wife here wearing only a collar?” She’d seen several other women wearing a collar, but they usually had clothing on, at least until they got to the playrooms.

  “There is no explanation for that kind of man. Hopefully, his wife can be retrained and live a productive life.” Rose was trying to figure out how to ask about the choker. Robert sensed something bothering her. “What’s on your mind, my dear?”

  “Something Maddie said. She thinks there is some significance to the choker you gave me.”

  “Ah! So that’s it!” He flashed her that wonderful smile of his and said, “She’s right. I wondered if you were aware of what it meant.”

  “Apparently not, Master.”

  “Do you remember the first day of your training? I told you that you would submit to me, and you agreed.” Rose nodded. “That gave me permission to treat you as my sub. I have to say, I feel differently toward you than any other sub, and I wanted you all for myself. That’s why I have been careful about who I put you with in the playrooms.”

  Rose blushed, but she wasn’t sure why. She didn’t know what to say, but the look on her face told him just how grateful she was for that.

  Robert continued, “It truly is your choice to be my sub, but I feel we have a connection. I will not think less of you if you do not want this. In fairness, I should have asked you.”

  “Oh, Master! I am honored! I would have agreed if I’d known what it was about!”

  He put his arm around her and held her close, and neither of them could stop smiling. They took off their Halloween costumes. The makeup took some effort to remove, but then they got into the shower. Rose shampooed his hair and soaped his back, lingering on his backside. His smile kept her going. She soaped his chest and slid her hands down his belly. His breath came in ragged bursts as she manipulated his family jewels. She took his manly member in her hands and massaged him to full length.

  As much as he appreciated this attention, he stopped her after a while and shampooed her hair and massaged her scalp. “It is amazing how relaxing that feels,” she crooned.

  He grinned and continued his attentions with the soap all over her body. She moaned in contentment and he moved them closer to the showerhead to rinse. He pushed her back up against the wall and took her hands in his own. He held her hands over her head in one hand and explored her opening with the other.

  Their tongues met in a long kiss and their breathing became very heavy. He lowered his head to taste her nipples. As he suckled, her head fell back and she groaned in contentment while he located her pleasure nub. He rubbed faster, faster, bringing her to a climax. Her hips responded with forward thrusts. Using his fingers, he guided his tool inside her, matching the thrusts of her hips, and pounding her back against the wall of the shower.

  It didn’t take long to bring her to another orgasm, timing it to his apex. Rose screamed as they climaxed together squeezing him tight. They finished rinsing, holding each other, feeling fulfilled.

  Robert held her close and teased, “You screamed.”

  Rose smiled up at him. “Did I, Master?

  *****

  Robert was up early and already in the study when Rose came down. He was on the phone with Paul who gave him the name of the woman and the drunk who had brought her to the party. “The woman’s sister was invited to the party last night, but she couldn’t get off work. The brother-in-law stole the invitation after getting drunk.” Robert related this information to Rose. “There isn’t much we can do about families who steal from each other. This one will be experiencing a separation, though. The woman last night – Teresa – is officially dead. She will arrive here tomorrow and be renamed. I hope she can make the best of a new start.”

  Rose was just watching him. She was so proud of this man using his power for good. She shook her head and grinned. The Halloween theme must be influencing her, because she was thinking of him as a super hero.

  “You know, if it weren’t for that party last night, this woman might really be dead. Things do seem to work out the way they should, don’t you think?”

  Rose couldn’t agree more.

  They headed out to the kitchen to have breakfast. The weather had started dreary and was now pouring rain.

  They were finishing their coffee when Perkins came in to tell them about a visitor. She didn’t wait to be announced, though.

  “Robert! I just got a call from the jail. That useless brother-in-law of mine says my sister is dead! He told me to get him a lawyer and dig up bail money – what’s going on?”

  Robert met her by the door and put his arms around her. “I’m so sorry, Isabelle. I wasn’t thinking – of course he would turn to you.” He held the sobbing woman close and whispered in her ear, “Your sister isn’t dead.” She started to react and he said, “Shhh… It’s a secret.”

  The woman’s eyes grew huge and her lips tight. She just nodded and hugged him back, whispering, “Thank you.”

  “She’s been badly treated, though.”

  “I know. I couldn’t get her to leave. She was too afraid.”

  “We will help her, Isabelle, but you’ll have to go along with her ‘death’ to protect her.”

  “Anything you say, Robert. Thank you so much!”

  “What are you going to do about your brother-in-law?”

  Isabelle looked determined, but she smiled and said, “I can’t deal with him – I’m too distraught.” She turned to leave and added, “He can rot in hell for what he’s done to my sister!”

  *****

  Rose took Mrs. Parker to see the bedroom suite where her fiancé would be staying. “Won’t I be staying in here, too?”

  “Well, since he is your fiancé, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?” Rose asked.

  The question flustered the woman. “Well where will I stay?”


  Rose had anticipated this; Robert told her to take this direction. “I’ve only redone the one room,” she said, “but I’m sure we can find another guest room for you.”

  “I never thought about staying in another room until the wedding.” Just as Robert expected – she wanted them to be together. “Maybe I could use the sitting room?” When she saw the quizzical look on Rose’s face, she said. “Yes, the coronation is for a wedding. Do you have a Bishop’s costume?”

  “No, ma’am, I don’t! I’ll check into it, though, so don’t worry about it. I’ll make sure the sleeping arrangements work out, too.” She led the woman down the back stairs to the Throne Room and she was thrilled with that arrangement.

  “Mistress Rose, you’ve outdone yourself with all these decorations! This is exquisite!”

  Next, they went to the Dungeon. It took her breath away! “Oh! OH!” was all she got out at first. She went over to the stocks and placed her hands in the holes. “This is so exciting!”

  Rose smiled at the woman. “Have you ever tried anything like this before?”

  “No, not really, dear. My first husband did occasionally like to spank me.” She blushed and spoke confidentially, “I really loved that!”

  The women went back to the suite for the costume fitting.

  *****

  Rose showed the older woman what she had found for gowns for her. “Mrs. Parker, this is Stephanie, our seamstress.”

  As they shook hands, she said, “Call me Lacy, dear.”

  Lacy appeared a bit disappointed, though no one really knew what she had in mind before the gowns were obtained. She helped the older woman into her chemise. It was gathered at the neck into a ruffle, and the huge sleeves were gathered into shirring from the elbow down. It was really quite elegant. “It looks like a nightgown! I thought my dress would be more regal!” she complained. “Is this the gown for the wedding?”

  “No ma’am,” Stephanie said through the pins in her mouth, “this is your everyday dress.” She put the velvet dress on her over the chemise, lacing up the front under the bodice, supporting her breasts within the chemise. “There! See how beautiful you look?”
