“Yes.”
“You consent to stay here for one week?”
“Yes, mistress.”
“Verbalize what you understand about Chrysalis.”
“It’s a B&D manor.”
“We’re so much more than that, dear.” She gave a nod to Shay. “I’ll take it from here.”
“I’ll be back, Rue,” he said. “You’re in good hands.”
“When will you be back?” I suppressed the panic in my voice.
“Soon.” He strolled away.
My heart rate sped up as I watched him leave through an ornate door. Maybe he was just stepping out for a few minutes.
“Right,” said Lotte. “Let’s show you around.”
This had to be one of grandest manors in the world; it was like a palace. Lotte gave me the full tour, showing me everything from the vast ballroom to the luxury spa.
We stepped outside and she pointed to the impressive swimming pool. “You can swim if your master permits.”
“Thank you.”
“Careful out here,” she added. “We have peacocks.”
“Oh, cool.”
“Not when the fuckers chase you,” she said. “Master Booth thought they’d add a fantastic touch to the place. I don’t even know if he’s aware how territorial the males can be.”
“Have you ever been chased by one?”
“You mean chased by a large cock across the lawn?” She laughed. “Once or twice.”
She made me giggle.
We headed back in and continued down the hallway, crossing the foyer again.
“We’re not going farther than the Harrington Suite,” she told me. “The area beyond that room is forbidden to you for now.”
“What’s down there?”
Lotte stared off in that direction. “It’s for VIPs.”
Accommodations for the rich, maybe?
We ended up in the kitchen, where she brewed us tea in a Union Jack patterned pot. “I know what you’re thinking,” she said, as she handed me a teacup.
“Oh?”
“This is just us getting to know you, Rue. We need to understand your limits and your expectations. Make sure you’re ready for the intensity of what we offer.”
“I appreciate that,” I said.
“Once we’ve established what your boundaries are, we will plunge you into your first session.”
