Pick the little blonde

From Create Your Own Story

"She'll do," you say, pointing at the little blonde. She glances up to you, her eyes wide, and she swallows hard. She looks absolutely terrified. The brunette claps her hands together.

"Shaelendra, go and see that the Prince's bath is attended to," she says, and the blonde bows quickly and pushes open the door to your room. She hurries inside as the brunette steps in front of your view. "My lord, please," she says quietly. "She is quite young and inexperienced, and with your father ill you shouldn't dally anyway. Have your bath and leave the girl unmolested, I humbly beg." She curtsies, and she and the mocha skinned girl hurry down the stairs to whatever task they must see to.

You head into your room and kick off your boots, watching the timid little blonde working the water-pump above your tub. She turns a knob on the pump, which opens the pipes from the steam room, and begins filling the beautiful porcelain tub with warm water. She's a tiny little thing, young and spry, and slender as a twig. Her gaze is averted, purposefully, as you begin to undress, but beneath her heavy wool frock, you can see the shape of her milk white calf as she leans over to test the water. Her bottom tenses as she runs her fingers through the bath, and you remind yourself that your father needs you.

Father can wait. The maid will be mine.

Father is ill. Bathe quickly.
