He raised an eyebrow. "Is that what we were doing?"
"Yes. I am quite familiar with many forms of dances. So I am not clueless."
He smiled. "Good to know. Lets try something more difficult then."
"I thought you said we were going to do something more difficult. The foxtrot is like the easiest thing to do in the world."
"You're better than I thought you would be. I'm happy about that."
"Why would you be happy?"
"Because my date to the ball can dance."
"So you're the friend Master has told me to escort."
"Yes ma'am. Let me say, every other man is going to be jealous."
"Why would that be?"
"Because you're going to be the most beautiful woman there."
"If you say so. If you don't mind, I need to go find Young Master."
"Of course. He's not to happy right now. So it might not be the best idea to mess with him. I would hate to see you get hurt." I nodded and began to leave the ball room. "By the way my name is Robert."
I found Kiva in the kitchen with a bottle of wine. He sat there drinking large glasses at a time. "I do not think it is a good idea for you to drink to much. You'll get a headache."
"I'll do as I want." He said in a cold harsh tone.
"As you say. But may I suggest something."
"No."
"Alright, Young Master. Is there anything I can get you?"
He sighed heavily. "It would be wonderful if I had some peace and quiet. And some privacy."
"Yes, Young Master. I'm sorry for bothering you." I did a slight bow and left.
I waited for Kiva in his bedroom. He was angry about something that I did. I raked my mind to figure it out, but nothing came forward. I was left thinking about it. But what ever it was, it was my job to fix it.
The door handle jiggled slightly. I jumped from my position to the door. When it opened, it was only Master. "How can I be of a service to you Master."
"You don't have to look so disappointed. I know who you were expecting."
"I don't know what you mean."
"You're nothing but a harlot. A tease in my home." He took a strand of my hair and rubbed it between his fingers. I knew better than to move. "It's actually quite a wonder that my son has taken after you. After all, you have nothing."
"I'm sorry for any discomfort I have caused. It was unintentional. I will do what ever it takes to make things right again."
"No. You'll keep going as things are." He turned to leave the bedroom.
"Why Master?"
He turned around quickly and slapped me hard against my face. "It is not a slave's job to question their master."
I didn't speak again after he left.
It was close to midnight when Kiva returned to his room. He faintly smelled of blood and alcohol. I rushed to his side immediately. "Are you hurt Young Master?"
"No. Just leave me alone."
I did as he said and stepped back. "Is there anything that I can get that will make you more comfortable?"
He turned around suddenly. "Why is it that you always have to be up my ass? Can't you just leave me alone for once?" His voice was harsher than Master's had been.
For some odd reason, tears sprung to my eyes. "I give you my humblest apologies. I will not bother you again. " It was as if his words just registered in his mind. A look of shock spread across his face. He tried to reach out and touch my face, but I flinched away. "I will leave you now."
Before he could take the chance of hitting me, I was out the door running down the hall.
chapter 10There was nothing productive for me to do until the sun came up. And that wasn't for another several hours. So I had to figure out something to do until then.
So I figured I would catch up on some sleep.
There was this one spot I had found under a staircase. You wouldn't notice it unless you knew it was there. All but one part was completely blocked off. So it was somewhat difficult to get into. But I learned how. It offered me a small refuge in this hallowed hall. The space was big enough for me to stretch out completely and one other person. But that never happened. I was all alone.
A hand faintly touched the side of my face. My body reacted automatically.
My arms went backwards hitting the person in the head. Then I was up and straddling the person to the ground. Ready to do what ever it took to stay alive. "Who is are you?"
"I guess your not completely clueless about fighting." A light flickered on and I found myself looking at Robert. "I really like this position, but I would appreciate it if you moved."
I did as he asked. "How did you find me?'
"By accident to be honest. I found this spot when I was younger. I come here when I don't want to deal with Kiva's father."
"I can leave if you wish."
He shook his head. "No. You can stay." He looked at my face carefully. "Who hit you?" His voice was as cold as steel.
"It was my fault. I shouldn't have questioned what I was told to do."
"No woman should be hit for any reason. It isn't appropriate."
"I know the rules of this house. He was just reminding me of my place." I turned my head away. "Plus, I can take anything these bastards throw at me."
"You shouldn't have to. You deserve better than you've been given."
"I'm happy with what I've got. So I will not allow myself to give into lustful fantasies."
A wicked grin spread across his face. "With me around, you're going to be having all sorts of lustful fantasies."
"Is that true?"
"Yes. And I'll prove it to you."
