				This thread is a scenario in the The Lord's Manor (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=86394.0) group game. <br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>The Manor’s slate tiled roof appeared behind the crest of the hill. A chalky white snake of limestone gravel traced a line over green fields, high with grasses that fanned in waves with the breeze. “We are almost there, Miss,” the chauffeur spoke from the steering wheel, meeting her eyes in the rear view mirror for a moment before returning his eyes back to the road. Copses and groves of trees dotted the rolling landscape, and a horse stable came into view on the opposite side of the road from the house. In the distance, and filtering back the whole way to the horizon grew a dense forest. A narrow track made its way up the slope from the Manor to the tree line, from where it disappeared into the woodland. <br>&nbsp;<br>It was a beautiful, secluded place that few would find if they weren’t looking for it, and it explained the discreet invitation, and the chauffeured car. Bella Simmons had been picked up in the modern suburbs, but ever since she slipped into the car she seemed to be traveling almost backwards in time to a point where it suddenly seemed plausible she might arrive at her destination not in a car, but in a phaeton coach drawn by a pair of white Lipizzaners. <br>&nbsp;<br>As the car rounded the circular drive in front, Mayerling, Lord of the Manor watched from the large windows forming the rounded corner in his chamber, his arms folded patiently across his chest. “Inform Lady Rhedyn Miss Simmons has arrived, and instruct the staff that she is our VIP guest today,” he said, though it was unclear to whom or to where he spoke. Still, his instructions were carried through the Manor easily, but he knew them superfluous. Most likely the Lady of the Manor was already waiting to receive their guest. <br>&nbsp;<br>As the chauffeur opened the passenger door of the old, gorgeous car, Mayerling saw the flash of a creamy leg distend from the running board. It was a vision he purposely delayed himself to watch, and it was both thrilling and satisfying. As the young woman slipped out, and the driver collected her baggage he smiled from his window. The distance between them soon to be closed. <br>&nbsp;<br>The exterior of the manor was quarried stone that was an earthen yellowish color. There were two stories above ground, and a sweet fragrance in the air hinted at a large garden in the rear of the building. In fact, the Lord of the Manor kept five distinct gardens, each with its own particular flavor, flora, and draw. While well kept, the Manor was distinctly not modern, but from time past, perhaps passed from generation to generation, though Mayerling had no children. <br>&nbsp;<br>A set of wooden bisected-arch doors opened to the guest, beckoning entrance, and there to greet the newcomer was Rhedyn, the Lady of the Manor.

				Bella leaned against the buttery-soft leather of the seat and smiled softly.&nbsp; She took in the views, the beautiful aged trees and the green fields, some colorful with wildflowers.&nbsp; She found herself looking forward to the day.&nbsp; A recent law school graduate, she had just found out that she had passed the bar exam.&nbsp; To celebrate, her best friend and roommate, Stacey, was treating her to a "spa experience".&nbsp; Stacey had emphasized that this would be no ordinary day getting a massage or a manicure, although she had not elaborated.<br><br>As the car pulled past gates onto a circular driveway, the beautiful spa, which looked more like someone's mansion or a place to hold intimate weddings, came into view.&nbsp; Bella's stomach fluttered with excitement.&nbsp; She'd been so tense lately, working extra hours at her internship and looking for a job.&nbsp; And there had been the added stress of graduating and waiting for her bar results.&nbsp; A day getting pampered was exactly what she needed to unwind.&nbsp; She was lucky to have a friend like Stacey, someone who knew how badly she needed to relax.<br><br>As the car came to a stop, Bella waited for the chauffeur to come around and open the door for her, and then got out.&nbsp; Immediately, she was taken by the floral scent that permeated the property.&nbsp; <em>Lovely,</em> she thought as she looked at the manor.&nbsp; With confidence that belied her waif-like appearance, she walked through the doors that were open for her.&nbsp; Brushing wisps of her long brown hair off of her face, she smiled at the beautiful woman who stood there.&nbsp; "Hello," she said, her voice businesslike, "I'm Bella Simmons.&nbsp; I have an appointment."

				Lady Rhedyn knew long before the servant arrived to inform her of their guest's imminent arrival that it was time. She had been hovering by one of the large windows in the Grand Room, looking out for some sign of their chauffeur driven car. She murmured her thanks and made her way to the front of the Manor, standing between the heavy arched doors with her hands clasped loosely in front of her.<br><br>A gentle refreshing breeze stirred the few loose tendrils of her hair that had escaped the elaborately twisted style her long thick brown locks had been sculpted into. Held with the assistance of two precisely placed long wooden pins it was both beautiful and practical for the day ahead. A white ruffled blouse peeked out over the restriction of the reddish brown corset she wore. It cinched in her waist stopping short of the rounded swell of her breasts which were covered with the pretty material of the blouse. Long ivory skirts trailed from the base of the corset, which clasped snugly to her hips, and around her neck she wore her thick deerskin collar, a single silver loop attached to it's front, positioned over her throat.<br><br>She smiled warmly in greeting as Bella Simmons stepped out from the car and approached, gesturing to the chauffeur to take her bag into the Manor. She extended a slender pale hand out as she regarded the young woman. "Of course, we've been expecting you!" she replied enthusiastically "Welcome to the Manor. My name is Rhedyn, lady of the Manor, and I'll be taking care of you today" she explained, her warm hand clasping around Bella's and shaking gently. If she did not know the nature of the Manor Rhedyn doubted she would understand the double meaning in her words, but then there was plenty of time for the woman to learn. "So if there's anything you need or want while you are here please don't hesitate to ask me. I'm here to make your stay with us as relaxing and enjoyable as possible." Rhedyn's hand lingered on hers momentarily before pulling away. Her sharp green eyes were warm and inviting as she turned and stepped into the entrance hall.<br><br>Glancing back over towards Bella she invited her in with a gesture of her arm. "If you'd like to follow me I'll take you straight through to the spa. I expect Lord Mayerling will be eager to meet you. He does so love to have guests." She led Bella through the entrance hall with it's ornate decor and vaulted ceiling and into a corridor, decked with paintings and prints, many of which depicted nude erotically pllaced figures, though none were overly obscene in their portrayals. She opened a heavy set wooden door at the end of the short corridor revealing the splendid main room of the spa, a large circular room with a domed glass ceiling and thus filled with natural light. The room was covered in earthen mosaic times, small ones intricately placed over the floor to depict a large symmetrical motif. To the left of the entrance where they stood was a small bar, tiled in varying shades of turquoise, a colour which repeated in a band around the outskirts of the room. <br><br>To the right of the door was an intimate sitting area comprised of single leather armchairs and love seats, all in matching earthy tones. The space was large enough to comfortably entertain around twelve guests at a time without seeming cramped. A medium sized clear pool was set in the centre of the space, lined with turquoise tiles to match the others in the room. The walls surrounding had arches spaced over them, each one framing a door that led to separate chambers for different treatments. <br><br>Rhedyn turned to Bella as she entered, watching her face as she took in the sights of the central room. She smiled and gestured to the seating area "Please, take a seat. I'm certain Lord Mayerling will be arriving shortly. Can I get you a drink? Tea? Coffee? Or perhaps something a little stronger?"

				Mayerling first saw his lover as he strode his way down the long bright hallway from the Manor proper to the spa area. It was a beautiful place to both entertain and relax with guests, and only recently had the space even been created. <br><br>He met his lover’s eyes from over a hundred feet away, and a smirk cross his face as he held her eyes with his as he strode to her. His arms held themselves behind his back as he strode towards her at a most deliberate pace. She was dressed perfectly for the services she would perform today, and he particularly liked how she had pinned her hair back and up, revealing her narrow, deliciously pale neck. The color contrast of the corset, the blouse above, and the skirts below, accentuated her well proportioned curves beautifully. He had enjoyed personally tightening the chords crossing her spine that morning, but seeing her now with her hair up, postured to please, created an image that whipped at his senses and made his loins secretly smolder. Still he held her eyes as he approached.<br><br>He was wearing a simple robe knit of wool and lined in silk, in black. It tied snugly about his waist, and created a V north of the belt that began just below the base of his sternum. South of the belt the robe was more modest, covering everything to just below his calves. On his feet he wore slippers that would soon be shed, for he loved the feel of the tiles under his feet, warmed by the heat of the thermal baths and steam of the spa. <br><br>When he arrived in the waiting area where he could clearly be seen by Bella, he yet made no notice of her as he entered her view. Instead he embraced his lover, his hand on her stomach, the other on her spine as his body met hers perpendicularly, and his lips kissed her bare shoulder below her collar. His senses came alive from her a moment, the perfect aphrodisiac, before turning to their guest, whom he approached like he knew she had been there watching the entire time.<br><br>“Welcome to the Manor,” he smiled, approaching her. “You must be Miss Simmons. I am Herr Mayerling, Lord of the Manor. I welcome you.” He took her hand in his, and kissed its back. “We have a lovely service in store for you today. In fact I shall be joining you, as is obvious.” He laughed softly as he presented his outfit. “If you would like to change before having a drink with us, there is a robe and slippers for you in the changing room, there. If not, please relax, and have a drink, first. I hear your visit is due to a surprise gift from your friend, Stacey. A fine friend, she,” Mayerling smiled, taking the seat next to her. He gave his lover a glace, signaling with a slow blink that he would have what she and their guest was having.

				As Rhedyn turned, Bella took a moment to look down at herself.&nbsp; She felt horribly under-dressed all of a sudden.&nbsp; She hadn't bothered with anything particularly nice; after all, it was a day at the spa.&nbsp; Her jeans and green tank top, however, paled in comparison to the absolutely gorgeous clothing her hostess wore.&nbsp; Even her hair was pulled into an intricate design, making Bella unconsciously tuck stray wisps of her own behind her ear.&nbsp; She followed the other woman to the spa, a little surprised when Rhedyn mentioned that the lord of the Manor would be meeting her as well.&nbsp; She had assumed that this was a commercial spa, but now she was thinking that perhaps this was actually a private home.&nbsp; She blinked, feeling a little like she was intruding.&nbsp; Frowning, she pushed the thought aside.&nbsp; If this was indeed their home, they made a choice to open it up to guests for spa services.<br><br>Bella looked at the decor.&nbsp; She loved the opulence of it all, and compared it to the small apartment she and Stacey shared.&nbsp; Their apartment was sparsely decorated, modern if it even had a style.&nbsp; The art that donned the walls was certainly interesting.&nbsp; It was erotic, making Bella's cheeks flush and her heart beat a little faster.&nbsp; Somehow, the paintings managed to be sexy without being lewd, artistic rather than pornographic. <br><br>Unable to contain the small gasp of pleasure as they entered the spa, Bella exclaimed, "Oh!&nbsp; It's stunning.&nbsp; Like a sanctuary."&nbsp; The word that described the space best was 'peaceful'; easily, she could see spending enormous amounts of time in here.&nbsp; "What I wouldn't have given to have had a place like this in which to relax while I was studying for the bar exam," she commented, her voice soft and almost wistful.&nbsp; <br><br>When her hostess offered her hospitality, she smiled.&nbsp; About to make her request for libations, she turned as she heard a noise in the chamber.&nbsp; Turning her head, she saw a man had come in.&nbsp; A man wearing a robe.&nbsp; <em>Oh, my,</em> she thought as the realization that she would not be serviced alone hit her.&nbsp; She looked into his face, saw that he had eyes for nobody except the beautiful woman who was his lady.&nbsp; He strode across the room, pulling Rhedyn into his arms in a lover's embrace.&nbsp; Although a slight excitement unfurled in her stomach, Bella averted her eyes, feeling like a voyeur.&nbsp; And then the man turned to her, confirming her suspicion that the was Lord of the Manor.&nbsp; <br><br>He, of course, knew who she was.&nbsp; As he introduced himself, she smiled brightly.&nbsp; "A pleasure to meet you, Herr Mayerling," she said, feeling the unfamiliar German rolling around her mouth.&nbsp; Her hand tingled where his lips touched it.&nbsp; "Thank you for having me.&nbsp; I'm quite looking forward to the service.&nbsp; Stacey is a very good friend, yes.&nbsp; She told me that today would be special, and that this was not a regular spa experience.&nbsp; I can already tell that she was right," she said, her voice friendly.&nbsp; A shy wallflower she was not.&nbsp; She was petite and female, and had chosen a profession which men still dominated.&nbsp; She had learned not to shy away from others.&nbsp; Looking at both Rhedyn and Mayerling, she said, "I would love some tea, thank you.&nbsp; And you're welcome to call me Bella.&nbsp; Will anyone else be joining us?"

				Rhedyn smiled broadly as her master entered, his sights firmly set on her as he approached, embraced her and kissed her shoulder. She shivered under his lips and the commanding positioning of his hands, murmuring in greeting. Standing a pace or so back she watched as Mayerling approached their guest and introduced himself, stifling a smirk as Bella explained what her friend had told her about today…<em>no not a regular spa experience at all,</em> she mused picturing the coming events in her mind and flushing with heat at the thought.<br><br>Inclining her head she smiled at Bella’s request “Certainly, please make yourself comfortable” she said gesturing to the sitting area, her eyes flitting to her lover’s face with a knowing heated look, she could not help but bask in his presence. “It will be just us for the day Bella, Lord Mayerling will be here to keep you company along with myself of course, though I will personally be seeing to both of your treatments.”<br><br>Happy that the pair were indeed making themselves comfortable she wandered gracefully over to the bar, her long skirts brushing over the tiles while her footsteps were silent, her bare feet making no additional sound. Pottering around behind the bar she took out a dark earthy brown ceramic teapot, decorated with hand painted vines around it’s girth along with three matching cups with saucers, milk jug and sugar pot and began preparing the tea, glancing, every now and then back to Bella and Mayerling as she did so.<br>

				Mayerling slipped his hand over his guest’s where he had kissed it. He knew that the hardest thing for her today would be breaking in; penetrating the relationship, the chemistry that he and the Lady of the Manor shared. “We look forward to having you as well,” he met her eyes in a mysterious smile.<br><br>He watched the bare soles of his lover’s feet expose themselves as she padded across the charcoal tiled floors. Her skirt swished and rocked almost like a bell with the rhythm of her walk. She had done her hair special today into elaborate, sculpted twists that cascaded over the backs of her shoulders. Her corset and skirts, in addition to the bare feet, gave her an earthy, spiritual quality that was perfect for both the Manor and the spa. Her presence lifted the nervous tension of welcoming a newcomer into the Manor, while infusing the sexual tension with a gentle, caring femininity that affected both genders.<br><br>“The experience you will go through today is not entirely to your benefit,” Mayerling explained as he returned his attentions to Bella. Expertise in balance would play a significant part of the enjoyment they would share this day. “The spa experience is a number of stages designed to relax and reinvigorate the mind and body. I guarantee that when you are finished, you’ll feel cleaner than you ever have before, and you’ll have lost two pounds,” he laughed softly during the last phrase. <br><br>Mayerling took the duration of his speech to take in their guest. Despite her listening to him, and thus not talking, her body and posture spoke volumes. Bella was a bit of a paradox to him: a young lawyer, but unsure of the unknown. Her clothes suggested she could be confident without being dressed powerfully, and this was quite alluring to him. The way she looked at Lady Rhedyn, he could tell she was a little intimidated by her. Knowing his lover, he knew she was intimidated women as well. While he knew women well enough to know they were experts in receiving non-verbal communication, and knowing how other people would think or act given a specific situation: woman’s intuition, he couldn’t help but wonder if they could sense it between themselves now. <br><br>He had been disarmed by both of them immediately. They both wanted the same thing, and thus Mayerling remained silent about it. In moments the intimidation would be gone, and the trio would be old friends. They were both beautiful to him. Rhedyn loved to please, and was exceptionally skilled at it while maintaining a most alluring constitution. Bella was confident, beautifully small, and pliant with curiosity; her casuality contrasted almost erotically with the opulence of the Manor. She would disappear within its walls to be privately ensconced in its pleasures. Depending on how far she let them in, her day at the Manor could literally change her life.

				As Mayerling watched Rhedyn, so too did Bella, letting her eyes drift to where her host was looking.&nbsp; The other woman was probably the most feminine person she had ever seen, lovely and delicate.&nbsp; It really was no wonder, Bella thought, than Mayerling was so obviously smitten with her.&nbsp; What man wouldn't be drawn to such gentleness? Even Bella found her stunningly alluring!&nbsp; A slight frown colored her face as she contemplated whether or not she could explore a more feminine side of herself and still be effective in a courtroom setting. Probably not, she realized.&nbsp; She would have to just admire women like Rhedyn without emulating them outside of the bedroom. <br><br>She considered, not for the first time, how men perceived her.&nbsp; She had a type A personality like almost everyone else in her field.&nbsp; She tended to exude an image of self-confidence and was outspoken. She had to be that way to be taken seriously in her male-dominated profession. But sometimes, she thought wistfully, she just wanted to take a step back and be more... Rhedyn.&nbsp; <br><br>Her host's words brought her out of her reverie, and she turned to glance at him.&nbsp; She wondered what he meant when he said that the spa experience would not be entirely to her benefit.&nbsp; Her brow furrowed slightly in confusion; perhaps he meant that somehow it would benefit someone else?&nbsp; Maybe Stacey had complained when she had purchased the spa package that Bella was hard to live with when stressed.&nbsp; <br><br>She smiled at him. "Well, what woman wouldn't mind losing a couple of pounds, right?&nbsp; Although, Herr Mayerling, I have to admit that if you and Rhedyn are planning on some huge workout for me, I may have to bow out of the experience," she said with a playful wink.&nbsp; She was, of course, kidding.&nbsp; Stacey had given her fair warning that this wouldn't be an ordinary massage and pedicure, so Bella was open to whatever was in store for her, even if it was a day of exercise.&nbsp; But she did fervently hope that wasn't it.

				With the tea prepared and all the items snugly fitted on the tray Rhedyn returned to the seating area. She smiled to herself having listened curiously to the conversation that her Master and Bella were having. As she placed the tray on the coffee table before them in offering her face turned up to look at Bella’s with a knowing smile. “I can assure you there will be no huge workout…at least not in the way you are thinking” her eyes flicked briefly in amusement to Mayerling before settling back on the modern woman in front of her. <br><br>Though a complete contrast to her she was compelling and intriguing to Rhedyn. Already she was getting excited by the thought of serving the two of them in the luxury of her spa, the signs were all there, though only her master like as not would recognise the slight deepening flush to her face and the gradual increase to the rise and fall of her chest as she pondered such thoughts.<br><br>Placing out the tea cups and taking the teapot in hand she poured the drinks with little more than a delicate twist of her wrist before settling into her seat on one of the large leather sofas. She dropped a little milk into her tea before relaxing back with a leisurely smile and crossing her legs beneath her skirts, her foot peeking out from the material and automatically flexing in the air toward Mayerling's position.<br><br>“As you can see" she gestured to the archways around the outskirts of the room "the spa comprises of many different chambers off of this main room, each catering for a different stage of our Roman Bath House experience. As you may or may not know the Roman’s were very indulgent in their bath houses, tending to their bodies and minds through different stages of heat and relaxation. Of course they did so completely naked” she chuckled, raising her eyebrows slightly as she blatantly admired the woman in front of her “though this is entirely optional. We want you to feel happy and comfortable with the process at all times so please say if there is something…indeed <em>anything</em> you want or need and I dearly hope that you will leave here wanting to come back for more.” Rhedyn sipped at her brew, a delicious light tea that was aromatic and refreshing. Her lips continued to curve into a gentle smile as her mind persevered in wandering to the coming few hours.

				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?”&nbsp; <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.”

				Bella watched as Rhedyn poured the tea, her movements in completing the task delicate and graceful.&nbsp; She thanked the other woman and brought her cup to her lips, blowing gently across the surface of the liquid.&nbsp; She sipped as Rhedyn talked about the spa, which turned out to be part impromptu tour and part history lesson.&nbsp; <br><br>The Roman angle was an interesting one, and somewhat surprising.&nbsp; Bella choked on her tea when Rhedyn mentioned that getting her spa services in the nude was an option. The thought had not even occurred to her.&nbsp; Embarrassed at her visible reaction, she coughed and then cleared her throat, considering.&nbsp; She wasn't shy about her body or nudity; hell, she tended to be liberal about most things.&nbsp; But she turned her head slightly, looking at Mayerling. Perhaps, once he was finished greeting her and took his leave, she would strip down.&nbsp; She was, after all, eager to experience the day as fully as possible, which apparently meant to experience it as the Romans would have.<br><br>Her eyes widened in surprise when Mayerling spoke after Rhedyn did. So he was going to be staying with her for the day. And apparently, he was going to be nude.&nbsp; <br><br>A little shocked, Bella looked back and forth between her hosts.&nbsp; She couldn't imagine that Rhedyn would be okay with her lover being naked in front of a strange female, but apparently she was.&nbsp; Schooling her features into a small relaxed smile, she said, "No, I'm not afraid of water. I'm not afraid of much at all."&nbsp; With a low, throaty chuckle, she added, "I think I'll opt to have a little bit of clothing on, however."<br><br>As she finished her tea, she joined Mayerling in putting her cup on its saucer and smiled. "Thank you again, Rhedyn. The tea was lovely.&nbsp; I'll go ahead and get into a robe."&nbsp; She stood and walked confidently to the dressing room that she'd been shown only a few minutes ago.&nbsp; Once there, she dug her bikini out of the satchel she had brought with her, and slipped off her clothes.&nbsp; <br><br>Her body nude, she glanced at herself in the full-length mirror.&nbsp; She was petite, but her body was lithe, her hips flaring and her breasts high and firm.&nbsp; Glancing at her bikini again, Bella's mouth curved into a little frown as she contemplated.&nbsp; And then, a smirk playing on her lips, she put on the robe that was hanging on a hook on the door.&nbsp; Putting her bikini back in her bag, she tied the wide sash at her waist and opened the door, stepping back out into the spa.&nbsp; After all, she thought, when in Rome...

				Bella’s mild embarrassment and confusion as her gaze flitted between her two hosts amused Rhedyn, though it did not show on her face. Indeed, to many the arrangement that her and Mayerling had in The Manor was seen to be a little strange, but it worked well for them and fulfilled something for them that was otherwise missing.<br><br>She smiled at the compliments given by both Bella and Mayerling and, when their guest made her way to the changing room she began to prepare herself in front of her lover. With ease she reached back and untied the laces of her corset letting it fall to the ground along with her full skirts, the material of which was held under the confines of the corset. The items pooled at her feet revealing the linen blouse that had peeked out from beneath. It was in fact an ivory linen wrap around dress, slight in material and tied with a single tie around her waist. The fabric held closely to her frame, and underneath she was naked, though this was not wholly apparent from the offset. The material of the dress came down to her mid-thigh, parting on her right side to teasingly display a line of flesh up high on her leg and halting before the top of her thigh, hiding from view whether she was wearing any underwear or not. The dress, like her hair, would come free with the pulling of a single cord, though it was not her place to expose herself entirely to their guest. That was for her master to decide.<br><br>Her eyes never left Mayerling’s as she did this, finally retrieving her clothing from the floor and piling it onto one of the chairs for one of the other staff members to take to her room. Smiling slyly at her master she fingered her collar and turned back to Bella as she reappeared. <br><br>“If you would both like to follow me” she purred, heading to the first of the treatment chambers and opening the door. “The first thing you will need to do is shower, the water is set to be delightfully warm, not too hot, not too cold” she explained as she led them into the beige tiled circular room. There was a door to the far right leading directly into the next chamber, the roof of the room domed and glass, flooding it with natural light. A thick tiled pillar stood in the centre of the room where water sprayed and fountained down, cascading over the tiles and pooling on the floor before draining away. <br><br>Rhedyn stood in the doorway as they entered offering to take their robes for them once inside as she would not be joining them in the shower. Instead she would be preparing the next steps of the bathing experience. <br>

				His lady was laying it on thick, and Mayerling loved her for it. A tingle ran down his side as she exposed herself more to him with the drop of the corset; the preparation of service. Something about it thrilled him even more: Bella; and the fact that he and Rhedyn might have the opportunity to serve together in such a pleasurable feat with an attractive, engaging guest. His lips curled into a smirking smile without him even knowing he was so privately pleased with the situation, and more outwardly with his lover directly.<br><br><em>I’m not afraid of much at all…</em> Bella had said. This also pleased Mayerling. The Manor was not a house of fear, even on masquerade night, but a place of sociality and pleasure; a place where people could fantasize without the weight of the world on their shoulders. There was even less weight on Mayerling’s shoulders when he shifted the robe off his shoulders and handed it to his lover without so much as a blink of an eye to hide his nakedness to either of the women.&nbsp; <br><br>Mayerling led the way into the first shower. The water certainly did have nice warmth to it. His skin came alive as the small, powerful streams of water his shoulders, then his face as he turned into the stream and closed his eyes. With eyes shut he could hear what he thought were the tentative steps of Bella’s bare feet entering the shower room with him. The thought of her brought his mind back to his lover, and his love of the feminine form came to the forefront of his imagination. He wet his hair and swept it back, and used his hands, running them over his form, to ensure that every bit of skin had felt the water, and thus every nerve ending had come alive. For propriety’s sake, he kept his eyes shut or his face turned away from Bella until she invited him to look with conversation or something even more overt, despite the fact that it made him feel more than a little rude. “The water is perfect,” he spoke to the open space of the chamber blindly. “Work it over your skin,” he suggested, “you’ll feel it come alive in your hands. The steam will start to fill your lungs, causing deeper breaths. You’ll feel vibrant and beautiful.” With the last words Rhedyn again leapt to his mind, and made him smirk in pleasure, and made his stomach tighten in desire. The image made him forget he was naked with a woman in the room, and that was exactly what he wanted.

				She smiled at Rhedyn, realizing that the other woman had changed her own clothing while Bella was stripping out of her own.&nbsp; She had a moment's hesitation when she thought about the fact that she had no clothing on underneath the robe; was it truly something the other woman was okay with?&nbsp; Well, it was too late to worry about it now.&nbsp; She'd been invited to experience the day in the nude, and had already made a decision to do so in the dressing room.&nbsp; Now she was going to stick with&nbsp; it; in general, it was against her nature to second-guess herself, and she would not do so now.&nbsp; <br><br>Mayerling's nudity caught her off guard, even though it shouldn't have.&nbsp; He'd certainly given her fair warning that he'd be naked for this experience, and clearly this was not the first time he'd done this.&nbsp; Her roommate really hadn't been kidding.&nbsp; This really <em>was</em> different from any other spa day.&nbsp; Following Rhedyn and Mayerling to the shower chamber, she listened to the instructions, nodding.&nbsp; Again, she was surprised, this time by the fact that she'd be showering alone with Mayerling; Rhedyn would not be staying.&nbsp; Bella took a breath and untied the knot at her waist.&nbsp; As she shrugged out of the robe, handing it to the other woman, she did not look at Mayerling.&nbsp; Instead, her gaze was locked onto Rhedyn's face, lingering for a long moment, searching for any indication that her nudity was not okay.&nbsp; <br><br>Finally, she turned away and stepped further into the large room, her eyes drawn to Mayerling's buttocks.&nbsp; Rhedyn was a lucky woman.&nbsp; Bella turned, stepping away from him to give him some space, walking into the stream of water.&nbsp; It cascaded over her naked flesh, and a small sigh of pleasure escaped her as she closed her eyes and let the soothing aroma relax her.&nbsp; She just stood like that for long moments, blocking all thought from her mind except those that involved how wonderful the water felt.&nbsp; His words brought her back, and she opened her eyes, blinking the moisture out of them.&nbsp; She gave him a sidelong glance, finally looking at him even thought a part of her felt like she shouldn't.&nbsp; Was this why Stacey had sent her here?&nbsp; Because a very drunk Bella had confessed a voyeuristic streak to her one night, and Stacey somehow knew that Mayerling was a nudist?<br><br>With movements that were tentative at first, Bella followed Mayerling's instructions, gathering water in her cupped hands and letting it trickle over her and then actually caressing her body as the liquid fell on her.&nbsp; "You're right," she said, a soft, blissful laugh escaping her, "This is wonderful."&nbsp; She allowed herself to enjoy the shower until her fingertips started to prune, and then then she stepped out of the stream, turning to avoid an awkward moment with her host.&nbsp; Water dripped from her body as she stepped toward the entry, glancing about for a towel.

				When Bella disrobed Rhedyn held her gaze with confidence and acceptance. Her eyes lingered over her body as she took the robe, drinking in the sight of the woman with another woman’s eye. There was nothing threatening about the gaze, it was admiring and filled her with warmth as she regarded the natural beauty before her. Not wanting to create an atmosphere of unease, or indeed make Bella regret her decision of nudity she continued on her way as though it were the most natural thing in the world, indeed it was in the Manor.<br><br>While Mayerling and Bella showered she checked in on all of the chambers, arranging the items she would need and setting the temperatures. By the time she returned to them they were finished of their own accord. In her arms she held two large towels and on her face was a broad smile as she unfolded the first towel and took it to Bella. She did not want to press her contact on the woman but did want to touch her so she held the towel wide with a questioning look before bringing it forward and wrapping it around her body and gently patting her curves dry. Her hands did not touch her flesh, only the pressure of them through the soft material of the towel. During this her eyes followed her hands, watching herself work and the beads water disappearing under her touch. <br><br>Once happy with her work she moved on to Mayerling, approaching him in much the same way though there was a growing darkness in her eyes that he would understand. Her hands worked precisely dabbing him dry, pressing against every inch of wet skin until he too was dry. Gathering up the two towels she placed them into a basket by the door to the next chamber.<br><br>She smiled at the two for them and their nakedness, her body humming beneath the thin layer of material she wore. “If you would like to follow me, we will now be moving on to the hot air bath. It’s purpose is to open your pores and allow me to…” she let her eyes flick over the length of their exposed bodies “…get every inch of you clean before we move onto more intense treatments.” She spoke with complete seriousness though, as often was the case in the Manor her words held a poignant double meaning.<br><br>Rhedyn led them through to a chamber decorated much like the first, only this time there were no showers present. Instead there were several long benches and a single large flat heated stone set like a stage in front of the benches themselves.&nbsp; Behind the stone was a set of brushes and cleaning items. She waved a hand at the benches “it is a little warmer in here” she explained “please take a seat on the benches and acclimatise yourselves while I prepare the brushes. You will both be scrubbed first, then massaged with a cleansing scrub and washed clean before we take to the thermal steam room.”<br>

				Mayerling had always liked to watch his lover perform. His body started to react the moment Rhedyn brought the towel to Bella’s body. Bella was a confident woman when naked; he could tell both from her posture and the way Rhedyn worked the water off her body. It was a confidence that spurred eroticism unto itself, and in it he knew that he would thoroughly enjoy the day she spent at the Manor. He loved the way Rhedyn moved her hands over her like an artist, as if she could only sense Bella’s body with touch. It made his inner heat rise sharply, and made him eager to feel her hands on him.<br><br>Rhedyn’s first touch on his had such knowledge behind it that it made his knees shake for just a second. He pushed his body into her hands subtly in response to her touch, silently demanding more. His eyes closed as she went lower. As Rhedyn dried his legs his eyes reopened to meet Bella’s, a smirk of pleasure clear on his lips. His hand fanned out possessively across his lover’s back. He wanted her to linger there, to keep touching and caressing, but he couldn’t bring himself to demand it so selfishly in this moment. Besides, he knew he would feel her touch again soon after the hot air bath.<br><br>He was already in a sensual, playful mood. As such, as they moved from one chamber to the next, Mayerling took his fill of the femininity before him as he followed a step behind, either hand gently placed at the small of the women’s backs with his large palms hosting their movement. Rhedyn’s outfit hinted perfectly at the sensual sloping curves underneath, and he loved the way it flowed instead of clung round her legs as she walked.<br><br>The hot air bath was an intense rising in temperature, though it was dry as opposed to steamy. As Bella parted from his hand to take one of the benches, his hands lingered on Rhedyn, and captured her in a sensual kiss. The possibility that Bella might witness it only made him want it more, to show off the eroticism of his lover to their company. His move wasn’t calculated, it was driven by the promise of pleasure that Rhedyn so readily offered in her hospitality.<br><br>He parted from his lover and took to the bench on the opposite side of the heating stone from Bella’s, laying on his stomach, and turning his head towards the other bench. He wanted to meet Bella’s eyes, to welcome and reassure her with a knowing, pleasured smile. He could still taste his lover on his lips, and it made him relax even more. His skin began to tingle with sweat from the temperature of the room, or was it from how luridly sensual this experience in the baths was becoming?

				Bella nodded at Rhyden's look of askance.&nbsp; That the other woman was to towel dry her surprised her, but she did not find the idea of it to be distasteful.&nbsp; Rather, she was intrigued by the level of pampering the spa offered, and was prepared to fully take advantage of it.&nbsp; She enjoyed the contact much more than she expected; the other woman was professional, making sure only the towel touched her, and yet there was something intimate about it.&nbsp; <br><br>She watched unabashedly as Rhedyn next moved onto Mayerling, drying him the same way; if they didn't want someone else watching, they wouldn't be doing this with another person present, would they?&nbsp; The way the interacted with one another, silently but with each movement saying a hundred words, intrigued Bella.&nbsp; It was beautiful and even sensual, Rhedyn's need to please and Mayerling's desire for his partner.<br><br>After she finished and they were both dry and standing nude once again, Rhedyn led them to the next chamber.&nbsp; As they walked, Mayerling surprised Bella with his hand on her back.&nbsp; She had not expected the touch, and again, it was not unwanted.&nbsp; She didn't look back, but she did feel very, very aware of his hand's possessive guidance.&nbsp; It was something a boyfriend or lover would do; that was what surprised her, since she was neither to him.&nbsp; <br><br>This one was similar to the first in size, but its purpose was clearly different.&nbsp; It was hot in here, a dry heat that was more sauna than steam room.&nbsp; Bella moved to follow Rhedyn's instructions, walking toward one of the benches.&nbsp; As she turned to sit, she saw that Mayerling had embraced his partner, his lips on her in a sensuous, lingering kiss.&nbsp; Bella's own lips curved into an amused smile; these two were exhibitionists; they liked to perform as much as she liked to watch.&nbsp; Well, if they wanted to perform, they certainly had a willing audience in her.<br><br>As Mayerling moved to lay on a bench, Bella followed suit, laying down as well.&nbsp; She met his eyes when he looked at her, her mouth breaking into a small smile.&nbsp; She found her body relaxing, her breathing becoming deeper as she was infused with delicious heat.&nbsp; "Very nice," she said in a quiet voice, as if speaking loudly would somehow desecrate the tranquility of the space.&nbsp; "Rhedyn is very good."

				Murmuring into his lips as he captured her playfully Rhedyn pressed against him, feeling the planes of his form against her own curves through the fabric that covered her heating body. As she prepared the brushes she smirked, cocking an eyebrow as Bella followed Mayerling’s lead, laying down on one of the small benches as they got used to the heat. “Come here Bella…I’d like you to settle on this heated stone” she explained softly as she took up one of the soft brushes, coated in cleansing scrub, and slipped her hand through the strap that would hold it to her palm.<br><br>The dark slab was contoured to cradle the curves of the human body much like a massage table only it was firmer, smooth and very gently heated. The room had been set with it as its centrepiece so that all present and waiting could watch as others had their treatment and take from such a view what they willed. She guided Bella over to the table and settled her onto her stomach so that the full length of her bare body was spread before her. <br><br>Soft brush bristles met soft skin and began rubbing over the length of Bella’s back, tracing her spine and out around to her sides, slowly working the scrub into her flesh. The scrub was clear and smooth, the stage itself designed so that the bristles and the heat of the room opened and cleaned out ones pores, the scrub helping the brush to glide over skin and freshen the body. “How does that feel Bella?” she asked gently, wanting to ensure that Bella was having as enjoyable time as she was.<br><br>After every pass of the brush Rhedyn’s hand followed its course, moving through the scrub left on her skin and softening the abrasion of the brush’s bristles with long, firm strokes. She began to move down her back now, skirting straight past her buttocks to tackle her legs, down her thighs and to her feet and back up again. Very gently she urged Bella’s thighs apart with her warm hand as the brush dragged higher and higher up her inner thighs, coming to a reluctant stop before reaching her sweet apex. Rhedyn watched her hand as it smoothed over the flesh, coming so close but never truly touching anything high enough to be deemed inappropriate. <br><br>Her breaths were deep and constant, regulated despite her excitement, betrayed only by the sparkle in her eyes as she looked up to Mayerling on the benches and moved her hands to massage and cup her luscious buttocks, feeling their shape and gliding along the softness of her skin. Her nipples had hardened under the thin fabric of the wrap around dress, protruding in tight peaks from the combination of the heat and her own desire as she explored Bella’s body professionally.<br><br>She replaced the brush with a warm flannel and began washing the scrub off of her body with a luxuriously slow pace. There was no need to attend to her front, not now at least since they had just showered, and Rhedyn doubted her ability to control herself further if she was presented again with the sight and opportunity to touch Bella’s firm breasts. All in good time, she reminded herself. Finally clean she smiled at Mayerling and rested her palm on Bella’s buttock, grasping her cheek and rubbing it firmly one last time “There…you’re all done…now it is your turn sir.” <br>

				“Rhedyn is very good,” Bella said quietly, offering respect to the tranquility the spa offered.<br><br>“She is, indeed,” Mayerling responded. “She designed this space herself, and is the architect behind the process we are experiencing today. It may amuse you to learn that this is also the first time for me. I’ve never been through the spa before. It is a beautiful thing that we are being introduced to it together, and that both a man and a woman experience it together. I see no reason to believe that it would be any less intimate going through the process alone, but your being here adds to it. It adds to the pleasure.<br><br>Mayerling gently smiled as Bella mounted the washing stone. His lady was very subtle about it, but even in this she was providing a show for him; performing for his pleasure. He found watching Rheydn scrubbing Bella impossible not to enjoy. Even where his lady had placed herself to beckon Bella onto the slab had been to allow Mayerling to view their guest thoroughly as her body melded with the slab. He didn’t hesitate in watching, for he had settled into the lurid warm glow of the voyeur watching play. His eyes alternated between watching the pleasure roll Bella’s eyes in her ever-relaxing expression, and his lover’s hands working their guest’s beautiful body. He loved how their coming together was visceral without being overtly sexual. It was simply a performance of pleasure given from one to another. It was like watching a master carpenter construct a violin: the carpenter must know how to cut and mold the hardwood into shape to form a beautiful, resonating sound. This was the effect of his lover’s hands on any body she ever touched. The playful smack from his lover onto Bella’s backside brought him back to the moment.<br><br>“There...you’re all done. Now it’s your turn, sir,” Rheydn informed them.<br><br>“My turn to spank her or my turn to be scrubbed?” Mayerling joked, making a mocking gesture of giving Bella a nice firm spanking, but not actually touching her anywhere but her shoulder. A mischievous, mysterious smile crossed his face as he made eye contact with Bella, but he soon behaved.<br><br>Mayerling mounted the stone slab just as Bella done, and he could swear he could feel the traces her body had left upon it. Rhedyn used an unscented scrub on Bella, but there was still a feint alluring, feminine scent left on the warm surface of the slab. He closed his eyes as Rhedyn applied his personal brush to his shoulders, and his eyes slowly closed as his body began to melt into deep relaxation almost instantly. “Mmm, Bella,” Mayerling groaned, “you gave a little something away about Rhedyn’s touch, but it was nothing at all like this.”

				"Oh, so this is your first time as well?"&nbsp; She was surprised to hear that, since he owned the place.&nbsp; But it made sense that this was Rhedyn's domain.&nbsp; "What made you decide to join in today?" she asked, keeping her voice casual.&nbsp; She was definitely getting more suspicious of her friend.&nbsp; Stacey set this up.&nbsp; She wasn't quite sure yet exactly what was going down here, exactly <em>what</em> had been set up, but something had.<br><br>Bella moved to the heated stone upon Rhedyn's instruction, her nude body settling in.&nbsp; The slab was hard and smooth, but although her breasts pressed into it, flattening against the solid material, it was a nice feeling.&nbsp; Rhedyn ran a brush over the flesh of her back, and for a moment, Bella closed her eyes and just allowed herself to feel the bristles as they moved over her skin like a soft caress.&nbsp; She opened her eyes at Rhedyn's voice, tilting her neck to look back a little.&nbsp; "It feels wonderful," she said, smiling to herself.&nbsp; The words were better than the moan that would be her real response.<br><br>She turned her head to look at Mayerling watching her, her eyes meeting his.&nbsp; He was enjoying watching his lover work; there was a look of contentment and adoration on his face as he watched her.&nbsp; &nbsp;Bella held her body still as it was scrubbed, parting her legs when Rhedyn indicated and sighing softly when her buttocks were massaged.&nbsp; &nbsp;It was almost sensual without actually being sensual.&nbsp; Rhedyn's caresses were firm and did not linger so that an air of professionalism was maintained.&nbsp; But God, Bella was reacting.&nbsp; She could feel her nipples tightening embarrassingly against the surface of the stone.<br><br>When she finished, her massuese had Bella get off the stone with a smack to her ass, and Bellas found herself laughing softly.&nbsp; "That was lovely," she said, standing and looking at Rhedyn and trying not to blush at the obvious sign of her body's arousal.&nbsp; “At Mayerling's question, she couldn't help but to turn back to him.&nbsp; "If there's a choice, pick being scrubbed.&nbsp; That massage is way better than a chance to smack my bottom," she teased.<br><br>She went back to the bench, sitting down with her legs crossed.&nbsp; It was fun, she realized, flirting with this couple.&nbsp; She was definitely up for whatever was going to happen in this very unique spa experience, she thought as she watched Mayerling and Rhedyn.&nbsp;

				Rhedyn cocked an eyebrow at Bella’s recommendation. “Oh, I wouldn’t be so certain about that” she murmured softly, watching as she settled onto the bench. Bella was practically glowing, she could still feel the woman’s curves under her hands as her palms tingled and Mayerling climbed onto the stone.<br><br>Her actions and the path she took over his flesh was much the same, the brush rubbing over his skin followed by the warmth of her soft palm and yet it was different. She knew this body in a way that she didn’t know Bella’s and her hands worked confidently over him, scrubbing and massaging his skin and muscles with a firm expertise.<br><br>As she worked up his thighs she curved her hand a little dragging her nails gently up his sensitive inner thigh, teasing him playfully as a woman who knows her lover. She used the same scrub on him, mildly abrasive and yet gentle, unscented given the heat of the room and the steps that would follow. Her hands travelled up his back one last time, coming to rest on his shoulders where she dipped down and kissed between his shoulder blades, the tight peaks of her nipple brushing briefly against his back through the linen dress. <br><br>“There you are sir…I hope you enjoyed it as much as Bella did” she mused remembering the sound of her voice, low and relaxed during her own treatment. “We’re about to turn it up a notch in the next stage. The Thermal Steam Bath is a little hotter and believe me you <em>will</em> sweat. Come…” she smiled heading over to the next door and opening it fully. The blast of damp heat engulfed her, near instantly bringing out a deep sweat on her skin that soaked through the wrap around dress and beaded over her brow and chest.<br><br>She turned to face them, holding out her hands for them to take as they approached before leading them into the tiled room. It was near identical to the previous one in its decor only this time larger, widened seating was arrayed around the edges of the slightly smaller chamber, their curved shape and backs inviting one to lounge around or lay down in the luxurious heat. In the centre of the room was a dip and pile of heated rocks, hot water bubbled around their bases siphoning off into a deeper moat where large, long handled ladles sat for pouring the water onto the rocks to replenish the steam. <br><br>As Bella and Mayerling entered Rhedyn kissed the backs of their hands, breathing in their scents and tasting the first salted beads of their sweat on her lips before releasing them to close the door. She headed to the rocks and scooped a large ladle of water onto them, watching her guests move deeper into the room, her actions making the rocks hiss profusely as they released a heavy waft of steam. <br>

				Mayerling didn’t hesitate in moaning as his lover’s hands worked his skin. His muscles, at once tight and coiled, melted under her touch. He looked to Bella; her nipples had and gently jutted drew his attention. Then he felt Rhedyn’s on his back as she leaned over to kiss his shoulder blades. His cock tingled, and he groaned softly in delight as his eyes closed. <br><br>He couldn’t even move as Rhedyn explained and introduced the next stage. Rhedyn held her hands out, Bella had taken the left, and now he peeled himself away from the warm rock to join them. He felt gloriously clean and radiant. The relaxation Rhedyn had brought to his muscles lingered in his body, and seeing both pairs of eyes, the pair of lips that joined the eyes, and the hands held together, Mayerling was quickly aroused. His loins brushed against Bella’s ass as he joined them, and then Rhedyn’s in turn as he joined with her right hand. A double entendre spilled from his lips, “I’m excited to see what comes next.”<br><br>“Come…” Rhedyn beckoned. There was no hint of hesitation in Mayerling’s reaction.<br><br>He wasn’t disappointed. The wet heat hit him first, and his skin began to react suddenly, becoming hyper sensitive to the change in temperature and humidity. “This room is beautiful,” he said in understatement, unable to speak more from the sheer sensuality of the experience, and especially this stage.&nbsp; <br><br>Rhedyn kissed their hands and parted from them to close the door. He gave a look to Bella, her body already starting to sparkle with moisture. Then he looked to Rhedyn, the humid air turning her thin dress translucent, heightening her feminine curves to a point not yet revealed before. He should have been embarrassed over his body’s betrayal in reacting to the visions the two women offered, but there was no way and no point in hiding it. <br><br>He took Bella’s hand in his own as he moved passed her again, brushing across her front with his arm and shoulder on his way to take a seat, letting her hand go when he had passed her by completely. He sat in the tropical heat, Bella’s moist essence on his arm, and Rhedyn filling the room with more steam, the fabric clinging to her body. He licked his lips, he yearned to taste her skin. <br><br>“You’ve outdone yourself in this room, m’lady,” Mayerling spoke to Rhedyn as he sat down on one of the wide, curved benches, and then shifted his attention to Bella, his eyes beckoning her to join him. “You can almost taste the heat in this room, can you not?”

				Bella stood at Rhedyn's instruction, walking to the Thermal Steam Bath.&nbsp; Even as she neared the door the other woman held open, she could feel the heat clinging to her skin.&nbsp; It was definitely a wet heat, like being out on a humid day at a Mexican beach, the kind of heat that made you sweat.&nbsp; Which, of course, was the point.&nbsp; By the time she reached Rhedyn and grabbed the woman's hand, Bella was covered in a thin sheen of perspiration.&nbsp; <br><br>Mayerling joined them, his sex brushing against Bella casually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.&nbsp; Her flesh tingled where he had touched it, and she could feel herself becoming aroused.&nbsp; How far were these two going to take this flirtation?&nbsp; She really wished Stacey had told her more about what to expect from this place.&nbsp; Her lips curved into a smile at Mayerling's words, and she couldn't help her soft chuckle.&nbsp; "I'm also excited to see what comes next," she said, addressing Rhedyn.&nbsp; "It's getting pretty hot in here."<br><br>After Rhedyn's kiss to her hand, Bella moved a little further into the room, gasping softly as Mayerling held onto her hand and moved his body along hers to get past her.&nbsp; &nbsp;So seductive these two were, Rhedyn with her subtlety and Mayerling with his overt sexuality.&nbsp; They played off of one another beautifully, opposites that made a perfect pair.&nbsp; <br><br>She moved over to one of the benches, sitting down and watching as Rhedyn tended to the steam.&nbsp; &nbsp;"I agree.&nbsp; This is the prettiest steam room I've ever seen," she said.&nbsp; Tilting her head, she openly admired Mayerling's body; before, she would never have done such a thing, but he sat nude and aroused, and they were being pretty clear that her attention was not unwelcome.&nbsp; She felt as if she were being invited to watch their intimacy with one another, and she had made a decision already to enjoy what was offered.&nbsp; "Yes," she said, looking at the two of them in turn.&nbsp; "I very much can taste how steamy things are in this room.&nbsp; I have to admit that this is the best spa experience I've ever had."<br><br>She glanced again at Rhedyn, the linen fabric of her dress damp and clinging to her curves now.&nbsp; Such a beautiful woman, so comfortable with herself and touching others.&nbsp; This was someone Bella could admire easily.&nbsp; What else did she have in store for them?&nbsp; Where would this go?&nbsp; They were answers Bella wanted badly, anticipation making her stomach flutter.

				“I’m pleased to hear that Bella…I can assure you it won't be one you easily forget” Rhedyn replied, smiling slyly as she sauntered over towards the pair. She was aroused, in fact she had been the moment she had woken up that morning and known they were going to be entertaining a guest that very day, though her master had made it very clear she was not to act on her arousal before the encounter. She was humming with sexuality as she made a bee line straight for Mayerling, her smile broadening as she settled on his lap, straddling his thighs so his hardened member nestled between them.<br><br>Obviously naked under the dress her core was exposed to his view and while Bella could not see it for herself she could be under no doubt that it was not so. His hot tip merely rested against her slick folds, not entering just sitting as she leaned forward slightly offering the top of her chest to Mayerlings face. Beads of moisture ran down from under the collar on her neck, over the swell of her chest and into the crevice between.<br><br>Turning her eyes to Bella she smiled, watching her face and body for reactions as to what she was seeing and thus how far they could take her here today. “Tell us a bit about yourself Bella, I’d like to get to know you better, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, isn't that right sir?...” Rhedyn’s eyes darkened with her words and the thoughts of just how well she wanted to get to know the woman in front of her “…what is it that you <em>do</em> my dear, and perhaps most importantly…” she cocked an eyebrow and tilted her head slightly, a light hearted challenge and sincere curiosity written over her face “…are you <em>good</em> at it?”<br>

				Mayerling watched the outer curve of Rhedyn’s hips sway as she sauntered over to him. He closed his eyes as she mounted him, settling herself with erotic precision atop his hardened member. The room was both hot and wet, but it wasn’t yet like her core, hotter and wetter still on his hypersensitive tip. He found her skin and opened his lips, licking the beads of moisture from it. It was wildly erotic to him to taste her this way, and to feel Bella’s eyes watching it all. His hand slipped into his lover’s hair, and gently pulled it to arch her neck, and there feasted on the new exposure, licking the lightly salted beads all the way into the depths of her dark, alluring cleavage.<br><br>He was impressed with Bella. That she could watch without obvious discomfort, that she seemed more curious and excited than repulsed. His hands rested on either of Rhedyn’s thighs, opening her dress a little more to put his flesh on hers. He could feel the puckered lips of her sex kissing his cock; it made him groan in desire for her as his tongue worked her beaded skin. <br><br>As Rhedyn began to speak to Bella with coax, Mayerling opened his eyes and shifted his gaze to her, though never taking his tongue or lips from his lover’s skin as he drank her essence. Finally Mayerling spoke as a predicate to his lover’s words, using his hand to unfold the thin cloth covering his lover’s breast, its exposure his preamble.<br><br>“Yes, Bella, what is it you do?” He asked with playful innocence as he oh so purposefully sucked Rhedyn’s tightened nipple between his lips and teeth in a sharp, moist suckle. “Do you just watch?” He moved his hand across to Bella, transferring it from Rhedyn’s thigh to hers. “Or do you like to play, too?” He gazed into Bella’s eyes as he took Rhedyn’s pert, exposed nipple into his mouth once more.

				Bella watched as Rhedyn walked toward them, sitting in Mayerling's lap, her legs spread over his thighs.&nbsp; The beautiful woman wore no clothing underneath the linen dress, that much was obvious by the way the material clung to her skin and had become a bit translucent from the moisture.&nbsp; The outline of her nipples and her sex had been clear even as she'd crossed the room.&nbsp; And so, Bella deduced, now that she sat in her lover's lap, her bare sex was pressed against his hardened shaft.&nbsp; <br><br>She blinked in surprise; the woman had been almost coy in her display of sensuality thus far, and to see her take the lead like this and raise the stakes was unexpected.&nbsp; Apparently, this was the room where the pretenses were dropped.&nbsp; For the briefest flicker of a moment, she wondered how many others had gone thorough this spa experience to end up here and have the heat turned up, so to speak.&nbsp; But then Herr Mayerling had mentioned that this was his first time, too, hadn't he.&nbsp; And Bella didn't think he'd lie about something like that; there was no need to.<br><br>Her eyes were glued to her hosts, her body turned slightly to face them.&nbsp; God, they really were beautiful together.&nbsp; Knowing how close they were to him actually being inside her made Bella hot, and her own body reacted, her skin flushing pink and her sex becoming wet.&nbsp; Mayerling wasn't shy, his mouth on his lover's flesh, his tongue licking a path from her throat to the valley between her breasts.&nbsp; She had wondered how far they would take this, but their actions now left no doubt.&nbsp; This was going to be about them having sex in front of her, and Bella was excited about seeing it.&nbsp; There was no shyness or any coy act for her; she wanted this as much as they seemed to.<br><br>Biting back a moan as he sucked on Rhedyn's nipple,&nbsp; Bella found herself smiling at their words.&nbsp; Her gaze flitted down to her own puckered nipples for a moment before meeting theirs again.&nbsp; "Well," she said, her voice husky with arousal, "I think it's rather obvious that what I <em>do</em> is enjoy unique spa experiences."&nbsp; Where Rhedyn's words had been playfully masked, double entendre leaving them open to a small degree of interpretation, again, Mayerling's were direct and demanding, highlighting in yet another way that same difference Bella had already noted in them.&nbsp; Rhedyn's sexuality was subtle where Mayerling's was the opposite.&nbsp; "I watch.&nbsp; It's why I'm here, is it not?" she said, her eyes dark as she watched him suck her nipple.&nbsp; She was as direct as he was, not backing away from her desires.&nbsp; "Watching is what I want, but I do enjoy some play, too... eventually."

				Settled in Mayerling’s lap and thoroughly content to be there Rhedyn’s eyes never once left Bella. She watched the woman though not aggressively, more curiously, looking for signs of her own enjoyment which were becoming more and more apparent. She murmured gently to feel her master’s lips and tongue gliding over her flesh, shifting slightly in his lap over him causing his tip to rub gently against her sex, explicitly telling him how excited she was by this play.<br><br>Arching into him she thrust her tightened nipple out at his urging gasping hard as she felt him take her offering into his mouth. Her darkened eyes were fixed on Bella’s face, following the brief movement of her gaze down to her own nipples in response to what she was seeing. She wanted to suck one of those nubs into her own mouth and listen to the sounds that Bella would make in response, the thought driving her to bite gently on her lower lip and moan into Mayerling’s touch.<br><br><em>Eventually</em>, that’s what she had said. Rhedyn was determined to have some fun of her own&nbsp; with Bella while she was here and there was plenty of time in which it could happen. For now she was happy to watch and Rhedyn was not ashamed to say that she like being on view in such a manner.<br><br>“And do you like what you see Bella?” She asked in a thick tone as her arms slipped around Mayerling’s neck and she began to rock her hips gently, rubbing her slick folds along his length and his tip into her clitoris in a gesture meant to show her master how much she wanted him and seduce the both of them. <br>

				Mayerling remained focused on his lover, her skin, her taste. He could feel Bella’s eyes on them as they merged. The underside of Rhedyn’s thighs were deliciously slick against the hard round tops of Mayerlings; the humid moisture provided just enough lubricant for him to slide her hips a little closer. Her wet, ready sex left a trail of desire along the top Mayerling’s hardened shaft. His hands peeled the linen dress off Rhedyn’s shoulders, bunching at her bent elbows. <br><br>He lapped at her skin, his tongue sparkling as it rasped, both of her nipples now exposed and sharpened. Mayerling arched his lover back subtly, turning the erotic points skyward as he feasted upon them, sucking them between his teeth with a purred hiss. His cock throbbed again his lover’s sex, flexing with strength against a blooming flower. His hand made a V well below her neck against her chest, mimicking a makeshift collar. He wanted her; wanted to be part of her body. <br><br>His left hand returned to Bella’s thigh by touch alone. His eyes were closed, and now he was guided only by taste and touch. Her thigh was hot; he had landed close to her core. His touch signaled to his lover exactly what he demanded from her: his permission. He wanted to hear her ask for his cock. She hadn’t yet dared take it as she knew it pleased her master. He loved how pliant she was under his touch, and the way her neck twisted to remain focused on Bella. Mayerling was forced to admit that this silent, steady dance was driving him to want to take his slut.

				Did she like what she saw?&nbsp; How could she not?&nbsp; Her breathing was shallow as Rhedyn rocked against her lover.&nbsp; Not looking away from the other woman's eyes, Bella responded, "Yes, I like what I see.&nbsp; Very much.&nbsp; You're beautiful together."&nbsp; Her voice sounded different to her own ears, softer than normal and thick with arousal.<br><br>Her breath caught as Mayerling pulled Rhedyn's breasts down, baring pert nipples.&nbsp; She really was a lovely woman.&nbsp; Bella felt no jealousy or envy, only hot desire.&nbsp; Which of them did she want?&nbsp; She'd never been with a woman before, hadn't ever really even considered it.&nbsp; But in that moment, she knew that she wanted them both, and her gut told her that before the day was over, she would be invited to have them both.<br><br>Mayerling's hand reached out, landing on Bella's thigh so very close to her core.&nbsp; The touch was far from unwelcome, and yet she searched Rhedyn's eyes for any sign that what was happening was not okay.&nbsp; She would not take this any further than the other woman wished.&nbsp; She expected to see arousal in them, mirroring the expression in her own, and was pleased when there was nothing less.<br><br>She had told the truth; she really did want to watch this coupling between her hosts.&nbsp; It had been a fantasy of hers for years, and it was making her wetter than she would have thought possible without anyone touching her intimately.&nbsp; But she also had no plan on being a passive fly on the wall.&nbsp; No, this was about her pleasure, too, and Bella was not shy about taking it when offered.&nbsp; She looked at Mayerling's expression of bliss for a fleeting moment before turning her attention back to Rhedyn.&nbsp; With her gaze on the other woman's, she opened her thighs just enough to expose her core and dipped a hand between her legs.&nbsp; Moaning as it brushed against Mayerling's, she slid a finger against her moist slit.
