Outside, Mr. Archibald kept yapping about plants and flowers and seeds. Matters in life that Lucy didn’t care about... Not anymore, since a woman named Scarlett had come into her life.
Days had passed since the day of Margaret’s ball and the intimate hours they had experienced that night.
And since that night, they’d been intimate every day... Exploring each other’s body with their hands, and discovering new spots with their lips.
And those discoveries were on Lucy’s mind, day in and day out. It was so new and felt so Goddamn good, and she wanted to experience more of it.
Scarlett said there was so much more they could try together... However, tonight, Lucy wanted to return the favor of pleasing Scarlett with her mouth... Down there. Just like Scarlett had done to her more than once.
Lucy had made up her mind about it. She was definitely doing it tonight.
It felt like their nights together were always about her. Her pleasure was always most important while Scarlett’s was more shoved to the back. Lucy wanted to turn the tables. She too wanted to take the lead sometimes but she was also scared to do so, and so, she never did.
Tonight she will.
She looked at her maid while her teacher was talking about birds and which kinda berries they ate. At least Lucy thought he was talking about birds, she wasn’t really paying attention since she was distracted.
Scarlett wiped off the thin layer of sweat that had formed on her forehead as it was a hot day. She then licked her lips. It all looked so sensual...
Mr. Archibald maybe didn’t see it, but Lucy did, and just looking at her maid like this made her extremely wet between her legs while tingling sensations took over that whole area.
Lucy couldn’t wait till it was dark again. Why did the days go by so slow and the evenings they were together rushed by like they only lasted minutes?

That afternoon, the 3 sisters Dearhorn sat together in Isa’s room like they often did to kill time before dinner.
“It’s so hot today and this corset... Ugh...” Minnie whined.
“Take it off then,” Isa suggested while fanning her face with a lace hand fan.
“No, then I have to put it on again for when we’ll leave... Oh, I’m so excited for our sleepover at the Johnson’s,” Minnie said while picking up a comb and starting to comb her hair.
“Sleepover?” Lucy asked, suddenly scared beyond words when it instantly hit her that she wouldn’t sleep in her own bedroom tonight.
“You forgot? Hm... You never forget things,” Isa answered. “We are sleeping at Celina’s today. Like we always do on the first Monday of the month. Remember?”
“I... Oh, yes...” Lucy said, trying to not look irritated beyond words.
“You don’t want to go?” Minnie asked. “What is going on with you lately? Last time you already left earlier when we visited the Johnsons.”
“I had a headache that day, Minnie. Stop talking about that event.”
Will this woman ever let that day go?
Lucy sighed. At least they could bring their maids, so she could thankfully see Scarlett and be around her. However, sleeping together? That sadly wasn’t an option.
“Of course, I want to go...” Lucy lied. “I’ll tell Scarlett to pack my stuff.”
Lucy pulled on a black string, making a bell ring in the servant’s room.
This way the servants knew their milady’s needed them.
When Scarlett entered the room to ask what she could do for her mistress, Lucy asked her to pack a suitcase for they’ll not sleep at home.
Scarlett seemed a bit surprised, or maybe Lucy only thought that... The older replied that she will immediately do what was asked and then left the 3 sisters alone again.
“Isa... So... Do you want to see Roy as much as I want to see Jack...?” Minnie carefully asked.
“I still don’t want to talk about that, sister...”
“Ok...” Minnie pursed her lips. “Lucy, can you comb my hair?”
“Sure.”

A few hours later and right before dinner, the 3 sisters and their 3 maids stepped out of the carriages that had stopped in front of the huge castle of the Johnson family.
It was just the 2 brothers and their sister at home, while their mama and papa were out of town for Mr. Johnson’s business.
The 6 ladies entered the castle and the maids went to the lower level while Lucy, Isa and Minnie went for a stroll in the garden together with the hosts.
“I so love your garden,” Minnie said to Celina. “I want to have a garden just like this when I have my own place.” She then looked at Jack who nodded with a smile.
“Yes, I love it too. I often come here to sit, to paint, or enjoy the nice weather, though today it’s very hot.”
“Ugh, tell me about it,” Isa said. “We were practically melting this afternoon.
It was a little cooled down but still hot.
“How are you doing, Lucy?” Roy asked.
“I’m fine,” Lucy replied.
Because of her pale skin, she walked with an umbrella when it was a very sunny day.
“Do you want me to hold that for you?”
Lucy smiled and shook her head. “No, that’s not needed. But... it’s kind that you asked me instead of just taking the thing out of my hands.”
Roy gave a small smile back and nodded.
“It’s indeed a lovely garden you have, especially with that huge labyrinth,” Lucy said.
“Let’s play a game! The men search for the women!” Jack said enthusiastically.
~
After a game of searching through said labyrinth, the 6 of them got hungry and went inside when it also had gotten a little dark.
They took take place at the long dinner table. There was a chair free beside Roy and Lucy deliberately pushed Isa towards it, whilst she went to sit next to Celina herself.
Roy seemed to be a little disappointed he had to sit next to Isa all night long and Celina also didn’t understand why Lucy took place beside her instead of her best friend, but they didn’t say anything.
Isa on her turn glared at Lucy.
The younger didn’t understand why. Isa liked Roy, and she didn’t. It was only logical that Isa and Roy would sit together instead of her and Roy.
The more Lucy looked at them, the more she felt they would make a good couple. Their babies would be perfect with such gorgeous parents. It sometimes still baffled her that Roy wasn’t going after Isa in the first place, instead of after her.

While Celina, Minnie, and Isa were snoring, Lucy laid awake with wide eyes. She was feeling so warm because of the hot weather and her many thoughts also didn’t help to fall asleep.
She sighed, thinking if Scarlett was sleeping or thinking about her too. Wondering how the servants had spent their evening. She had only seen Scarlett briefly today.
She stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside.
The moon was so large tonight. Lucy doesn’t think she’d ever seen the moon that enormous before, nor that bright. She could see everything under the moonlight even though it was in the middle of the night. She saw the fountain in the garden, the gazebo in the distance, the rose bushes, and... A woman walking, who stopped to sit on the stone edge of the fountain.
Was that Scarlett?
Lucy could swear it was. The lady dipped her hand in the water and splashed it around a little. It was Scarlett for sure.
The younger quickly put on a silk lace robe and her slippers, and as quiet as possible she rushed down, heading out towards the garden.
“Scarlett, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?”
Scarlett turned around and smiled.
“I was feeling hot, so I went out for a breath of fresh air. And you? Did you need me? Are you ok?”
“Yeah, I just...couldn’t sleep...”
Scarlett stood up. She was clothed in a white airy nightgown that showed all her curves and even the contours of her nipples were to be seen through the thin fabric. Her hair was down and flowing over her back and bosom.
“Were you feeling hot too?” Scarlett asked with her hoarse voice while she took a step closer to Lucy and felt her forehead. “You feel warm and a little moist there...”
Lucy grabbed Scarlett’s hand, slowly brought it down to her lips, and kissed the palm of it.
“I couldn’t sleep because I kept thinking about you,” she whispered.
Scarlett smiled put pulled her hand away. “Someone might see us, you can’t do that here,” she whispered.
“Everyone is asleep.”
“No, Lucy,” Scarlett sternly said. “Not here.” She leaned forwards and whispered in Lucy’s ear, “catch me if you can...”
And away was Scarlett, running into the labyrinth.
