"Please help me. I truly don't want to be here. I don't understand why my body brought me here." The last word was lost in a loud moan, Emeriel’s deep blue eyes widening in panic. "Oh, I think it's getting worse. Help me, please."
"Widen your legs," Madam Livia commanded. She looked to Amie. "Support her stance, Amie, so she doesn't fall."
"Yes, Madam." Amie quickly got into position, and Emeriel complied, her legs trembling.
Madam Livia reached under her night garment, tore her undergarment, and carefully inserted two fingers into her drenched opening.
Emeriel let out a strangled scream as a powerful orgasm surged through her.
As she rode the waves of pleasure, grinding against the head maid's knuckle, Madam Livia methodically searched for her syren gland. She didn't have to search for long. Her fingers to locate it, enlarged and throbbing.
With a firm touch, she pressed down on it, hard.
Emeriel emitted a piercing scream, her body convulsing into a second orgasm so intense that her eyes rolled back into her head.
She nearly broke free from Madam Livia's grasp if it weren't for Amie holding her firmly.
Madam Livia continued to press down on the oversensitive bundle of nerves inside her that yearned to be completely satisfied by a Urekai male and coated by their potent sperm.
Emeriel sobbed as the third release washed over her, unintelligible words spilling from her lips as her body soared to heights that made her knees buckle.
But Amie's surprising strength—despite her small stature—kept Emeriel upright and supported, with wild eyes and flushed cheeks.
Finally, Emeriel slumped against Amie. Some of the haze in her eyes cleared, and she seemed to regain her composure. Only then did Madam Livia withdraw her fingers.
"That should provide some relief for a few minutes," she said.
"Thank you so much," Emeriel mumbled, her breathing still erratic.
"But those screams... The grand lords have exceptionally heightened hearing. I'm certain they heard that," Amie murmured, her voice filled with panic.
Just then, a deep growl rumbled from the chamber at the end of the hallway.
The three of them froze.
Emeriel's face turned pale. "The beast has awakened."
Madam Livia glanced at Amie. "To address your concern, I highly doubt the grand lords heard that amidst the countless female screams and male shouts I heard coming from Greyrock as I passed by tonight. It sounded like the depths of hell itself."
Neither of them was surprised. Nights without screams emanating from Grand Lord Zaiper's manor were rare.
Most of his slavemasters chose midnight as the opportune time to torture their slaves, whether male or female.
Some slaves were even tied up and stoned for Lord Zaiper's entertainment. He was unquestionably the cruelest of all the lords.
"I'm afraid we cannot stay here for long, Emeriel. If my assumptions are correct about why you were brought here tonight, I believe the beast has been awake since the moment you set foot in the fourth wing. It has only chosen now to make its presence known," Madam Livia stated.
"Attempting to leave with us is impossible,” Madam Livia continued. “It would mean the beast breaking free and our blood staining these walls. Besides, your relief is only temporary. You still need to endure this heat. If your legs brought you here, then your body has chosen the beast for its satisfaction. And I can only advise you to follow your body's lead."
Another terrifying growl echoed behind them. Emeriel glanced at it, her fear evident. "I have no idea what I was thinking," she whispered, helplessly.
"I have my speculations, but the truth is, I also have no idea what is happening. What I can tell you is your mini-heats are becoming more frequent and intense. It won't be long before your first full heat comes. You must find a way to come clean with one of the grand lords before that happens," Madam Livia said.
"Because on that night, every Urekai male in this fortress will be able to smell you. And they will all come running, consumed by the desire to mount you. They will challenge and fight each other, and in these situations, they fight to the death. Then, countless males will mount you over the course of the three days it would take to sate your body. Now, imagine their feelings when the haze wears off and they discover your deception."
Emeriel swallowed tightly.
"Imagine what they would do when they find out they killed each other because you were reckless enough not to protect them by telling them the truth about your gender?"
