Her Lady’s Favorite [fem reader x lady dimitrescu]
chapter one - meeting
Every three months, when the villagers sacrifice lambs for Mother Miranda, who promised to keep the village safe, her dogs or as the people call them "the four Lords" choose four women in their twenties, to go with them to their homes.
Donna Beneviento chooses a gardener. Moreau chooses someone to cook for him and read a bedtime story for him. Heisenberg needs entertainment when he feels lonely, sometimes needs help with his fucking machines. Lady Dimitrescu needs a maid or someone for dinner, it depends on what day it is.
"The ritual is today. I just turned 21 a week ago. They can choose me now. I don't even know nothing about flowers and plants. What's more I don't want to be a middle aged man's whore. I mean I can cook and read. Moreau is the best thing that could happen to me. But maybe they won't even choose me. Probably not." - I thought to myself as I was getting ready for the ritual.
Every villager had to wear a black cloak on this night. Women had to step ahead in front of the Lords, so they can choose.
"Are you ready?" - my little sister asked with excitement in her voice, as she walked in to my room. She didn't understand what we're doing, she just loved Donna, who always let the kids play with her doll, Angie.
"I'm ready." I smiled at her, knowing I would rather crawl under the bed and stay here. But I couldn't do that. They would notice. They always do.
My father, my sister and I stepped out the house and started to walk to the ceremony site. It was dark outside, I could feel the ravens around me, they were watching us. Heard the lycans growling in the woods. We learned to live with these creatures, they weren't thought the same. Sometimes when they couldn't control their hunger, they took villagers from their homes. Nobody was safe. Not even us. But on this day, they couldn't even come close to us.
It was around a 10 minute walk to get to the ceremony site. Half of the village was already there with Mother Miranda and the Lords, except Heisenberg. He was usually late.
I held my sister's hands stronger than ever, as we walked past the elderly people. I had to stand in front, and she had to see Donna.
After a few minutes Heisenberg arrived alongside with the rest of the locals. We all said a prayer to Mother Miranda and the sacrifices started. My sister already got used to the screams of the lambs, and the blood. I still can't look at all those poor animals. When I was younger it was easier to look at the ground or the sky, my dad protected me and let me hug him. But this time it was different.
I was first in line, and I couldn't look anywhere but straight ahead of me and there I saw her. Everyone's nightmare. The Lady Dimitrescu. She was sitting right in front of me, and I looked into her eyes. Those yellow eyes are something you could never forget. I quickly tried to find something else to stare at, but it was too late. She already noticed me.
"I didn't even stare at her for long. It was like 5 seconds.." - I thought. "Or maybe 10.."
I've never been so close to her. I heard about how tall she is, how her makeup is always done. How beautiful her dresses are. How scary her eyes are. And those eyes were looking at me. I felt it. She was looking at me, sized me up. I looked at her again, just for a second but I swear I saw a tiny smirk on her face.
The ceremony was over. It was time..
Moreau chose a girl named Marissa. She was crying for her parents but there was no way back. My heart started beating faster than ever, the only Lord I was hoping to choose me, wanted someone else.
Donna chose Liliana, my neighbor. She was 25, such a good person. She was always kind with us. And she also loved gardening, this is the perfect place for her.
Heisenberg was thinking for a while, and then the worst happened. He pointed at me. He wanted me. I felt my eyes getting all teary. I crouched down to my sister and hugged her very tightly. I felt like this is the last time I see her.
"I love you. Take care of dad. And always lock the door." - I whispered to her.
"I know you will come back. I love you so much more." - She said.
I slowly stood next to Heisenberg as the tears ran down on my face. He was just smiling and licking his lips.
Lady Dimitrescu stood up and walked behind Heisenberg.
"Remember when last time you asked me to switch our chosen ones?" - She asked Heisenberg. Her voice was strong and she sounded a little bit annoyed.
"I do remember, big one. But you know, we can't play this game all the time. Be faster next time." - He said as he laughed right into Lady Dimitrescu's face.
Lady Dimitrescu's eyes widened and you could tell, her anger started to grow.
"Give the girl to her." - Said Mother Miranda who was just standing next to us unamused. "This is the last time I let his happen."
"Why do you even let it happen this time?" - Heisenberg's smile disappeared and his body language got tense. Miranda just ignored her, and Lady Dimitrescu just smiled.
"I hope you won't even be here next time." - She whispered to Heisenberg, as we walked away from him.
Then he chose Aleera, a girl I've never actually seen before. But she was beautiful. She had long red hair, and light blue eyes. I felt so bad for her.
It was time to go. I waved goodbye to my father, and my sister, who was already busy playing with Angie.
The castle was pretty close, Lady Dimitrescu asked her maid who was with her on the site, to show me the way, while she's discussing something with Mother Miranda.
"How long have you been working for her?" - I asked her.
"Well, first of all, my name is Eliza. Glad to meet you." - She said in a mocking tone. "I've been here for at least 3 years, they just call me the long-lasting maid, or if we put it that way, the favorite one. As I'm looking at you, I give you 2 months, 2,5 maybe."
I hated her. She talked to me for 10 second and I already hated her. But I had to be nice. If she's the favorite, maybe my life depends on her.
"I'm so sorry, I'm just a little nervous. My name is y/n. Nice to meet you too. Can you give me some advice? Like how not to get eaten on the first day?" - I asked in the nicest way I could, with a forced smile on my face.
"They won't eat you on the first day. The daughters might cut you here and there, but they won't eat you. They usually wait until you start to feel cozy. If you can. And that's when they get you. The most important thing is, you never say no to them. They want to play? You do that. They want to eat at 3 am, you make food for them. Lady Dimitrescu wants to see you any time of the day, doesn't matter what you do, drop it and just go. If it takes longer than 3 minutes she'll be mad. You don't want that. But the last one is probably not your concern, she usually asks for me. I think you'll be in the dungeon, cleaning the cells and stuff like that." - Eliza spoke about dungeons and vampires cutting me as it was the most natural thing. It scared me but I just couldn't show that to her.
I thanked her and we already got to the castle. It was the biggest building I've ever seen. Torches showed us the way inside. As I stepped in Lady Dimitrescu was already there, talking to her daughters. I didn't even understand how did she get there before us. Vampire thing maybe? As I was getting closer to them, they literally turned into flies and just flew away. I don't think I've ever been this confused in my life.
"You! Little new one." Lady Dimitrescu pointed at me. "Eliza, go and make some dinner for our newest resident. And you, little one, just follow me." Her voice wasn't so strong now, as she was talking to me. It was rather soothing and dare I say.. sexy? Kinda?
Eliza just bowed and went to the kitchen, and I was following the Lady up the stairs. She showed me the room I'm going to live, basically for the rest of my life, which could be a month or years. I didn't even know which one is worse.
I took off my cloak, and I wanted to change into my new maid uniform, but Lady Dimitrescu just stood in the door, looking at me up and down.
"Bit shy, aren't we?" - She asked with a smirk on her face. "I can leave you here, alone, but then you'll have to find my room on your own."
I was shocked. Her room? Me being shy? I mean excuse me but I've never changed clothes in front of a 9'6 feet (292 cm) vampire. Of course I'll be shy. But what about me going to her room?! I couldn't say a word, I didn't even know what I felt besides the shock. So the best I could do, just smile at her, and change my clothes.. right in front of my boss.
"She saw me in lingerie..." - I felt embarrassed, but she was a woman too. She looked the same, she was just four times bigger than me. I tried to calm myself down.
"Such a beautiful body. How tall are you? Maybe 5'6 (167)?" She asked, as she was looking at me. Her eyes were basically glowing, it was truly mesmerizing.
"Yes, my Lady. You guessed it right." I said nervously.
"How did she know?" - I thought to myself
"Well.." - She opened the door and showed me the way to her own bedroom. "What can I say? I am an expert of the female body."
Again, I was at a loss of words. What does she mean by that? How many woman do you have to kill to guess their exact height just by looking down at them?
"Sit here, little one." - She pointed at a huge chair while she poured two glasses of red wine. "You might heard stories about what happens to the maids in this castle. But you don't know why it happens. Let me explain." - She sat down in a chair in front of me after she gave me a glass.
I just took a little sip, but it tasted weird, a bit metallic. I was so nervous I didn't care how it tasted, I just wanted to drink it all to get drunk and wake up at home, hoping this was just a nightmare.
"You know, we have to punish someone if they make a mistake. Breaking a glass is not a mistake, it's an accident. A mistake is trying to hurt my daughters, eavesdropping, lying. You know what I mean, sweetheart?"
"I understand, my Lady. My name is y/n, by the way, I don't think I introduced myself."
"A beautiful woman with a beautiful name. Shall I consider myself lucky with you, darling?" - Lady Dimitrescu smiled at me while she was sipping her wine.
"I'm a very good cleaner my Lady, and definitely not a troublemaker. So you might say you're lucky." - Is what the wine made me say, but in reality I was still confused and a bit afraid of her. She didn't seem like a monster though, she rather seemed.. playful?
"Who talked about cleaning? I mean you're dressed as a maid, but they're not just cleaners. As the night and this little conversation goes on, I'll decide what you'll do. If you keep me entertained you might be my personal maid with Eliza. She's very good at her job, but after a while it's boring to see the same face every single day right after I wake up."
"What does she mean by entertaining her? I'm not doing anything, just sit here, answer her and drink her wine." - The thoughts were racing through my mind, I couldn't imagine what does she want from me, and what a personal maid does.
Before I could answer, we heard knocking on the door. It was Eliza.
"I don't mean to disturb the interview my Lady. But the dinner for the maid is ready. Just as the hot bath for you, my Lady." - Eliza said. I saw the confusion on her face. She was unsure why I was sitting so close to Lady Dimitrescu, drinking her wine.
"Well you just disturbed us. But y/n, you must be hungry. I'll give you 15 minutes, then come back here." - The Lady said as she stood up. "And you, Eliza, go down to the dungeon, bring me fresh blood"
I stood up as well, then bowed to the lady of the castle. Eliza made her way to the dungeon, I followed the sound of a woman. I found the dining room, and another maid as well. She was setting the table for me.
"Hi!" - I said as I was getting closer to her. "My name is y/n."
"Hey! My name is Matilda! I'm the one you need if you're hungry, I'm the cook here. Lady Dimitrescu must like you, she doesn't usually tell us to make dinner for another maid. Most of us just eat in the kitchen, while her and her daughters are eating here. With Eliza of course.." - She said in a surprisingly nice tone. It was like she was happy to be here and be a cook for blood-thirsty vampires.
I sat down to eat, the dinner was grilled chicken breast, with rice and vegetables. It looked and smelled really good. I asked Matilda to stay here with me, I even asked her if she wants some food. She refused, said she already ate dinner.
"So why is Eliza so special? She's like a main-maid who's been here for the longest time?" - I asked while eating the delicious food.
"She thinks she's the star of the castle. As the Lady's personal maid, her only job is to satisfy her needs. I mean nobody else is doing all these hot bath, massage, nighttime entertainment stuff, just Eliza."
My eyes opened wide, I almost choked on my food.
"Massage? Nighttime entertainment? I'm fine with the first one, but the second one? Am I going to do the same as I supposed to do with Heisenberg?" - I thought to myself. "I have never done anything like that, and I don't want my first to be with a vampire.. but it's still better than a man I suppose.."
The fifteen minutes went by so fast, we talked a little bit more about Eliza and the daughters. I didn't want to talk about the Lady. But the truth is, the only thing in my mind was her.
I thanked Matilda for the dinner, and quickly made my way back to Lady Dimitrescu's bedroom. Thankfully she wasn't there yet, so I just sat back on the chair and waited for her.
After a few minutes the door opened. It was her. In a long, black, lace gown. She didn't wear her hat and makeup anymore. You could tell, even when she was wearing her dress, she was very thick. But now, wearing only a lace gown, she was thicker than anybody thought. She had a beautiful body.
She didn't even look at me, just went straight to her bed. She laid down and closed her eyes.
"Did I misunderstand her? I should've went to my room.." - I thought as I was starting at her. I didn't even notice how I forgot to blink in the past minute.
"I'm waiting for you, little one." - She said quietly. "Come here, next to me."
Her voice gave me goosebumps. Not in a bad way.. It was something different. Something I've never felt before. My heart was beating so fast, once again, I thought I might get a heart attack if I get closer to her. But I had to. I basically jumped up to her bed and just sat next to her. Her eyes were still closed, but I saw her smirk as I sat down.
"I can hear your heartbeat, sweetheart. Is my body causing this?" - She opened her eyes and turned on her right side to face me. "You're very pretty, when you're blushing."
I remembered what Matilda said about a personal maid's job. It was still better than cleaning the dungeon. I had to keep myself on the Lady's good side. I had to play along.
"My Lady, I don't mean to be personal, since I'm just your maid, but who wouldn't be blushing if a woman like you was right in front of her?"
"I might say the same about you, if I would be capable of blushing. I hope you will take this as a compliment, which is very rare from me, but this uniform looks really good on you." - She said as she stroked my thigh with her index finger.
I felt like my whole body is going to explode. Her finger was extremely cold, but I felt like I could melt. I wanted her to touch me more.
"Thank you, my Lady. I will take this as a compliment." - I couldn't think of anything better than this.
Her fingers wandered over to my face, she started to caress my cheeks.
"You've been such a good girl tonight. Tomorrow morning I need you here at 7 am sharp, I need you to sit on this very same place as you do now. I want to wake up and see this pretty face of yours, first thing in the morning." - She said as she was looking right into my eyes. Her smirk stayed on for the whole time.
The only thing I could do was a nod and a smile. I got off the bed, said good night, and went to my room. I locked the door behind me and wondered what the fuck just happened. I still felt her touch on my body, and the urge to touch myself.. down there. I have never felt like this before.
I took my uniform off and found a t-shirt and shorts, what I used as a pajama. I laid down on my bed, and started to think about how she looked at me. How it felt when she touched me. The next thing I noticed, my hand was already inside of my shorts.
