Mayerling waited patiently for Rhedyn to serve tea to their guest and himself. It allowed him a moment to measure the contrasts between his lover and his guest. Rhedyn was looking particularly feminine this day, and he enjoyed that very much. It was an alluring attitude, and one that, for her part, was deferential to him without being overly submissive, especially in the company of a guest. Bella, on the other hand, had an eagerness to her that was also most alluring. He hoped indeed that she would soon melt into the sensations she would feel in the coming hours. It made Mayerling’s lips curl into a smirk that he hid with the cup of tea in his hand. After all, he didn’t want to portray a sense of entrapment on his guest.<br/><br/>“Rhedyn will be servicing us,” he spoke to Bella, while giving Rhedyn a bit of a warm glance between his words. “Yes, us. I will be taking the baths with you as well. It’s a most lovely experience. After we’re done with conversing around tea, we shall get changed for the baths.” He smiled a little mischievously. “I of course take the baths as the Romans do.”<br/><br/>His eyes met Bella’s over the rim of the porcelain cup. “You don’t have to worry about the strenuousness of the workout. The entire process is designed to bring peace to the mind, and relaxation to the body. I assure you it will be most pleasurable. I just hope you’re not afraid of water?”<br/><br/>He looked back at Rhedyn, lowering his cup, in the saucer, back to the service table. “This was a most delicious brew of tea, my dear. You made it lovely.”
