The Dragon Master's Pleasure Slave novel Chapter 4

Margot

“Hurry up. We haven’t got all night.” Stepmother prods me down the hall with a jabby, almond-shaped fingernail in my back.

“Mother, how are all the chores going to get done if the puppy is gone?” Ashley whines like the brat she is. I hold back an eye roll as she continues. “She didn’t even finish what she was supposed to do for me tonight.”

“You’ll have to take that up with your father. He didn’t ask my opinion before he decided to sell our little Dalmatian off.”

“How selfish of him,” Kristen pouts in her high-pitched, screechy voice. “I need my room cleaned. My friends are coming over tonight.”

“I’m sorry, my darling. We’ll have to get another servant just for you. Don’t you worry about it.” Stepmother comforts Kristen and Ashley by bringing them into a group hug. “I would never let either of you suffer.

“Besides, I wouldn’t be surprised if whoever buys Margot wants a refund after their drunken run with her body. Who would keep her when there are so many other options? She’s a maid, but not even a good one. I shouldn’t have kept her around all this time. Yet, my heart, it’s so kind…I took pity on the girl. Hopefully, whoever buys her takes pity, too.”

My eyes glaze as my stepmother leads me into a guest bathroom. She waves her hand for me to remove my dress, then shoves me into the shower. It isn’t one of the nicer showers like some of the others. As the blistering hot water hits my skin, I yelp. Stepmother smiles and adjusts the knob.

“Oops.”

She doesn’t mean it.

As the water cools, the warmth feels like heaven. I can’t remember the last time I got to bathe with warm water, and I relish the moment.

She seems irritated by my apparent happiness and snaps, “Shampoo and condition your hair, puppy. There’s a razor and soap on the ledge. Remove all hair on your body.”

“All of it?” I glance between my legs.

She raises the corner of her upper lip. “Your father said you must remove all body hair. I would assume that indeed means all of it, idiot.”

I lather my body with the lightly vanilla-scented soap. I wash everything as slowly as possible without drawing attention to my delay. Next, I run my fingers through my freshly shampooed long blonde hair and work the tangles with lilac-scented conditioner.

I carefully shave my legs and armpits, taking care not to nick anything. I don’t think making myself bleed will be looked upon very highly by my stepmother, much less my father.

She scoffs. “Aren’t you done? We haven’t got all night. You have to leave in an hour, so stop dilly dallying around.”

I finish up quickly, wrapping myself in the fluffy white towel Stepmother thrusts into my hand before stepping out of the shower. I dry off in record time.
