				Jack Mason sat nervously in the waiting room of the DeVere House, holding a folder a bit too tightly as he waited for her turn for the interview. He was the last one in the room, apparently by random selection, as he had been one of the first applicants to arrive at the house, but...That was fine. Of course the owner would do things however they preferred, right? Yeah, right...So, no complaining, he told himself. Surely the room was being listened in on to know who didn't like the way things were going to be handled. He just had to keep his cool, try not to stutter, and present himself well.<br><br>Oh God, he felt like he was going to be sick...<br><br>At twenty-two and fresh out of college, Jack was in desperate need of a job. So when he saw the help wanted add for the estate in the newspaper, well, he had jumped to apply. Well, he had jumped to apply to several other jobs as well. This was the only one that had called for him to come in for an interview. And he was nervous...Elaine DeVere was apparently a very rich and very powerful person. He really needed to make the right first impression.<br><br>Jack was a somewhat tall boy, standing at just under six feet, with a rather slim build. In fact, someone might almost call him feminine. There was just a look about him that with longer hair and a healthy application of make-up, he could pass himself off as a girl. In fact, as a child people had occasionally mistaken him for a tomboyish girl. It wasn't his fault, as sports had never been his thing, and social awkwardness had always given him a hard time when he tried to go to a gym and bulk up a bit. He wasn't out of shape, daily runs kept him from getting lazy, but, well, he didn't exactly give off he impression of manliness.<br><br>He had short red hair and green eyes, and was dressed in a fairly nice suit. He didn't have the money for something extravagant, but, it was nice, all the same. Right now, though, he was worried over the fact he had, well...embellished, a bit, with his resume. He hadn't done all of the things he had claimed to do, but, everyone lied a bit, right? And certainly she wouldn't check every small detail. Finally, the door open and a pretty young maid said it was his turn, and standing up, he walked into the room. <br><br>Now or never...

				The maid was no older than he was, with soft blonde curls, wearing a practical black uniform with a knee-length skirt and white collar and cuffs, dark hose and flat shoes. A woman was in charge of the house, so it was probably too much to hope for to expect naughty French maids.<br><br>Although, as she stood up, the lady of the house herself revealed that she had dressed much less practically. High heels tapped on the richly carpeted floor of the study, and he could hear the subtle hiss of her hose as she walked, her dress clinging to her curves flatteringly. <br><br>She looked at him thoughtfully as she approached, before smiling as she offered a perfectly manicured hand. <br><br>"Thank you for coming, Mister Mason. Take a seat." She gestured to the chair on the outer side of the desk, and moved to sit behind it, letting him see her from behind for a moment before turning and sitting, her legs now out of sight. <br><br>"I see from your resumé that this would be your first full-time position, but you've worked part time and voluntarily. Why do you wish to work here?"

				Jack gave the maid a friendly smile, really doing his best not to make it look like he was looking at her inappropriately. He was too worried about this interview to really think about just how the maid uniforms could be changed. Besides, this wasn't some TV show catering to a young, male audience. Those naughty French maid outfits were only used by, well...prostitutes in the real world, right? The lady the house was likely a respectable, conservative woman of high taste. <br><br>Or...A very, incredibly beautiful, slightly provocatively dressed, woman of high taste.<br><br>The boy couldn't help by stare for a moment when he saw his potential employer, snapping out of it just in time to shake the hand that was offered. His grip wasn't very firm, the lessons taught in classes about how to handle these failing in sight of an almost sexist thought of not hurting her hand, but he did manage to keep his eyes on her face.<br><br>"Thank you for letting me come for an interview, um...Mrs. DeVere." he said, pleased his voice managed to stay somewhat steady. Maybe he could get through this without showing just how nervous he was...Sitting down in the chair she gestured at, he looked up at her when she asked why he wanted to work there, nodding a bit as he went over the rehearsed answer.<br><br>"Uh, well, I just felt that I met the requirements proposed in your advertisement. I have an eye for detail, and, just in regard to the curatorial experience...Well, I've interned and worked in a few museums while working on my degree in Classics." No real lies there. Those would come in if she examined his actual management experience. Yes, he had been in charge of one of the dorm building on campus, but, only for a day, as the director of the building had to be rushed for the hospital and he had been the only one around to toss the keys to. And he had managed a kitchen...In the extent that every now and then he had been screwed on his shift and left as one of the only people in there. Since he had worked the grill, he gave some of the orders...Small details like that wouldn't hurt him though, right?

				"Excellent." Elaine nodded as he explained his interest in the job, and smiled slightly as she read over his references again. A decent grade in his degree, some brief work in some loal museums but nothing spectacular, nothing as big as the house would be... Nothing had really prepared him for this, had it, she thought to herself, and looked him over again...<br><br>Even though she knew already he was not really qualified for the job, it amused her to keep going. After all, he was quite pretty to look at. She always had liked redheads, and those eyes... with a little work, he could be quite enjoyable.<br><br>"And you ran a kitchen temporarily?" she homed in on that just as he was worrying about it. "That's good - there are a number of facilities behind the scenes that need to be attended to as well, and you would have some assistants for some projects. So, how did you find that?" She set the paper down and looked up at him curiously.

				Jack just nodded slightly to himself, resisting the urge to chew on his lip out of nervousness when she simply said "excellent." That was good, right? Despite what the word and the smile usually meant, a bad feeling in his gut told him that something was just...not off, but, something simply didn't feel right. Maybe this had been a bit of an overestimation, on his part, on just what all he could do. Sure, the job sounded great, but...<br><br>No. Come on, he told himself, this was no time to lose confidence. He could do this, he just had to stop constantly doubting himself.<br><br>Looking up again when Elaine spoke about his kitchen experience, he gulped a bit. Temporarily? Did she know he had embellished a bit? Or, was she just saying that because he didn't work there anymore? God, was he sweating?<br><br>"Oh, um...Yeah, I did." he said, nodding. "But, what do you mean, how did I find it? If you mean to ask if I liked it...Well, yeah, I guess. It was enjoyable."

				Elaine nodded and smiled, making a mental note of that. "Good. Not afraid to get your hands dirty." She <em>seemed</em> satisfied with his answer. <br><br>"Ah, now, I see in your qualifications you studied French at high school? Was that the basic hour and a half of token language class a week, or did you really pick it up? I have contacts with several galleries and auction houses on the continent, so that could be useful."<br><br>She suspected it was the former, but even that much would still play into her plans.

				Jack just nodded again. Okay, this was good, she seemed to be happy with his answer. He wasn't sure just how dirty his hands would be getting in a management position, but, he wasn't adverse to a bit of hard work if it needed to be done. Elaine managed to strike another weak spot on his resume, though, when she brought up that he had studied French.<br><br>Shit...He knew he should have left that out...<br><br>"Oh, well...I'll admit, I don't think I ever really picked it up...I'm not fluent, but, I think I could handle myself pretty well, if I needed to speak it." A slow and somewhat broken conversation, but, one all the same...

				She nodded. "Well, that's not a problem, maybe you'll have a chance to pick it up again. You'd be surprised how much you remember when you start to use an old skill."<br><br>Then she rose and stood, smoothing down her tight skirt with a graceful move of the hands. "So, would you like a tour of the house? Get a look at what you'd be dealing with?" She started towards the study door, high heels tapping on the floor as she went, giving him plenty of time to get a good look at her long legs.

				Elaine's words caught the nervous boy a bit by surprise. <em>Maybe</em> he'll have a chance to pick it up again? Did that mean she really was considering hiring him? That was, well...That was great! A thought that was only reinforced as she asked if he would like a tour, so he could get a look at what he would be dealing with. <br><br>"Oh, of course!" he said, standing up as she walking by him. Unfortunately, now his resolve broke a bit, and his eyes were glued to those incredible legs for a bit too long...Snapping out of it and shaking his head, he quickly followed her, really doing his best to keep his eyes off of those swaying hips, or that,,,nice ass...or those legs again, or...<br><br>Was it getting hotter in there?

				Certainly the way she walked, swinging her hips, he might have suspected she knew what she was doing. <br><br>"So here, through the hall, is the main door to the library - another door comes through from the study." She crossed the hall, opening a pair of double doors onto a long room dominated by a polished dining table. "Over here we have the dining room... seats twenty-four... and through to the ballroom along the west wall, with the patio surrounded by the hedge..." She showed the way there too, her heels clicking on the gleaming wooden dancefloor. She pivoted on one and started walking back, into the dining room, and to a side door. "And through to the kitchen..."<br><br>Five young women in kitchen whites, all quite attractive, smiled and murmured "ma'am" as she entered. Some of them glanced at Jack, but only briefly before returning to preparing dinner. <br><br>"Pantry is that way, assorted servant areas... Any questions so far?" <br><br>She backed up and headed back to the grand hall. "You'll mostly be upstairs, of course..."

				Jack said nothing during the tour, doing his best to simply listen and not mentally undress his prospective employer. She had to be doing this on purpose though, the way she was walking. Normally he wasn't into older women, but one would have to be blind to not see how stunningly beautiful Elaine was, and the way she walked...Well, his pants were feeling a bit uncomfortable at the moment. The situation wasn't helped much when he was shown the kitchen, and the attractive young ladies that worked in it. <br><br>By the time she asked if he had question, though, one came up.<br><br>"Um, just one...I haven't seen any male workers, here. Surely I'm not..." he trailed off, sounding embarrassed, before realizing just what Elaine had said. 'Wait, if, I'll be upstairs...You mean, you're going to hire me?"

				She smirked as she started to climb the hall's wide curving staircase, her hips swaying and skirt stretching with each step up . "In theory. And yes, I have male staff. A chauffeur, most of the garden staff... an accountant in the city and a surveyor at the moment. You just haven't met any of them yet. Cook likes an all-female staff she can yell at on even terms, and I have maids rather than footmen, that's all."<br><br>She lead the way up onto the balcony around the hall with rooms running off it and side corridors to larger rooms east and west. She started east. "These are my chambers..." She started to open the door, giving him a glimpse of a large room with a king-sized bed and more, then paused, turned to him and smiled mischievously.<br><br>"And this would be you." She walked a few feet to the next set of doors and opened them, holding them for him to enter.<br><br>It was a good-sized bedroom, not compared to hers but certainly to a flat in the city. A large wardrobe, dresser, chest of drawers, and two doors leading off. One maybe an en suite... one maybe a way into her chamber?<br><br>She waited for him to cross the threshold...

				Jack nodded as she explained the rest of her staff. He realized that his question may have been taken in the wrong way, thankfully that didn't happen, but...Well, all he had seen since coming here had been pretty young girls. If no men were around at all, well, he might have had to wonder at just what Elaine's tastes were. He quickly scolded himself after that thought, though. This was certainly not the time for thoughts like that...<br><br>He followed her up the stairs, his face red as he was all but forced to watch the sway of her hips, the stretching of her skirt, and the tightness in his pants becoming a bit more noticeable. Gulping, he kept averting his eyes, not wanting to offend the woman that was giving him a job. Though such thoughts were hard to keep in mind when she showed him her bedroom, smiling at him mischievously as she did. <br><br>Honestly, he didn't know if he should be excited or scared...<br><br>When she showed him what room would be his, he walked in, clearly impressed. It was a lot better than the dorm and apartment rooms that he had been used to living in these past few years.<br><br>"Oh, wow..." was all he could say, looking around as he stepped further into the room.

				Elaine smiled and stepped back, letting him pass, going to the door as he looked around. The sunny yellow walls, decorated by small antique paintings of vases of flowers, caught the light from the bay window, lighting the room up well, showing off the original warm wood panelling and doors as well as the gleaming veneer on the furnishings.<br><br>"It was for the personal servant of the head of the household. Which is why it has a door through to my boudoir." She smirked as she said the last word, pleased by the idea of having a boudoir. <br><br>"So... a six month contract. Live in, assist me personally. How does that sound?"

				The rooms decoration was a bit different, from what he would have liked, but again Jack wasn't about to start complaining. When she started to explain what the room was for, though, and where one of the doors led to, he looked back at her, confused, a bit of a blush on his face. She had said boudoir, right? Why...Why would she put a guy in a room that led to her underwear?<br><br>"Um...Yeah, six months, that's sounds right..." he said, remembering the ad in the paper. "But, I thought the add was for a management position, not a personal servant?"

				"Well, I have several spaces I need to fill." She smirked, underlining the apparent innuendo, amused by his blushing response. <br><br>"But anyway, I don't have a personal maid to room here, and the connecting door <em>does</em> lock. I'm just stressing that this will be a... close proximity role, if that's not a problem... This is the best suite of chambers in the house, after my own and one other on the other side of the floor."<br><br>"So... what do you say?"

				Jack wasn't sure why, but his blush only worsened when she said she had several positions she needed to fill. For a moment he thought that she was talking about something else, but the idea was thrown away. He just needed a very cold shower to get himself back under control and these ideas out of his head. After all, as she soon explained, she didn't have a maid to room in here.<br><br>Why he was getting it instead of another room, then, he wasn't sure, but...Well, she was the boss.<br><br>"Oh, alright...Well, um...When can I start?"

				She smiled brightly. "Tomorrow, if you're available right away. We can sign the contract right now." <br><br>She opened the door and stepped back into the upper hallway. "If you want to, you could move in tonight. See if you suit the room. How does that sound?"

				Tomorrow!? Jack's surprise was evident on his face. That was, well...A lot better than he had been hoping for. Grinning, he just quickly nodded.<br><br>"Well, yes, I'm available. Thank you!" he said, smiling as he followed her back out into the hall. Now, all he had to do was sign a contract, and leave to go retrieve what meager belongings he had from his apartment. Some clothes, but really nothing special. And he had already paid his rent for the month, so he could just move on out that night, like Elaine suggested.

				The view of the back of her head as she walked down the stairs ahead of him was less distracting, as she talked about financial issues and renumeration and the like, although the click-clack of high heels and the hiss of tight skirts and stockings continued of course, all the way back to the study and her desk. <br><br>Looking at it again, Jack could see that while it had been spruced up for her use, it had probably been her late husband's. Small family portraits and bookshelves full of leather-bound Victorian sets of work were the main forms of decoration, very unlike the glimpse of her room and the maid's chambers he would soon move into. Probably had to be kept that staid for conservation purposes as a listed building.<br><br>Elaine retrieved a contract, two pages of small print of what appeared to be standard legal boilerplate...

				Jack had a slightly easier time staying focused on the walk back to her office, the only issues coming back in when they were on even footing again and the sway of her hips was easier to watch again. Did she even know that she was doing this? She couldn't, because, wasn't she a recent divorcee, or widow, or something like that? <br><br>Shaking the thought away, he just looked around her study again, only noticing then the sharp contrast between it and her bedroom upstairs. She certainly seemed to like keeping business and her normal life separate...When he saw the papers he assumed were the contract pulled out then, he grinned a bit. All he had to do was sign, and the job would be his.

				Elaine watched with a smile as he signed and dated the contract, then took it from him and glanced at his signature before placing it in a folder. "Excellent. Your six months starts tomorrow." She rose, smoothing her skirt down over her curves again, and offered him a hand to shake.<br><br>"So I'll see you tonight when you move in. I can have dinner laid on specially - no point having a fully staffed kitchen and not use it, is there? Any preferences or special dietary requirements I should tell Cook about?"

				Jack signed in the required areas, initialed where he had to, and put in all the proper dates. And there it was. A legally binding contract, giving him a job for the next six months. He didn't bother reading the fine print, or really examining the contract. What possible tricks could Elaine have in there for a new manager, anyway?<br><br>"Um, no, no preferences or anything. So, I guess...I just show myself out, and return later tonight?" He could return sooner, but, well, he didn't want to look over-eager for this.

				"Shall we say eight?" Elaine nodded. "Of course once you're settled in you'll need a key, but for now..." She gestured to the door for him to exit, following him. A maid unlocked and opened the front door for him. <br><br>"I shall see you tonight, then, Mister Mason." She smiled brightly at him as he stepped down, now slightly above him again as he was a step down from the floor she stood on.

				Eight o'clock came a bit quickly, for Jack. He had gone to his apartment, scrounged up the few boxes he had to pack the even fewer belongings that he had. His laptop and charger, a few books, some other odds and ends, and his clothes. After he was packed he had gone out to but some outfits more fitting for his job. A few nice dress shirts and dress pants, new dress shoes, a nice tie...It used up most of his spare money, but, after working for a bit that should all be made back up and then some. It wasn't like he would need to be worrying about paying for food and laundry at the manor, so the rest of his money he put into the bank, just to be on the safe side.<br><br>Damn, he couldn't believe how his luck was working out...<br><br>At eight on the dot he was back in front of the door. The taxi he had taken was already driving off, leaving him standing there with his few boxes and the suitcase that held all of his clothes. Now he was just wondering what they were going to have for dinner, as he waited for someone to open the door...

				Another maid, this one a very pretty brunette with fair skin, opened the door as the taxi drove off. "Mister Mason? Walk this way, please." <br><br>A man in a black suit and matching tie stepped out onto the porch to help bring in Jack's boxes, disappearing upstairs with them, as the maid lead him to the smaller of the house's two dining rooms. This one still large enough to hold twelve people comfortably, but places had only been set on opposite sides at one end of the long table. <br><br>Elaine entered, smiling, wearing her hair down with a black cocktail dress. (http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTNGhb-lYknpCpf3pD65J2kRhljSU_IC3wNaaVfLymhCP748Ae5Ew&amp;t=1)<br><br>"Jack, hello again. Glad you could make it..."<br><br>She walked over, shook his hand lightly and kissed him on the cheek before gesturing to one of the place settings, walking to the other and sitting.

				Jack smiled when a maid greeted him at the door. A rather pretty maid too...With an inward groan, and the sinking feeling that these upcoming months might be a bit more difficult that he thought if there were this many attractive women around, he followed her inside. At least, where he had failed with Elaine earlier, he managed to keep his eyes to himself. Of course, the presence of a man in a black suit that looked as if he would have no problems correcting a case of wandering eyes might have helped with that as well...<br><br>Following her into the dining room, he smiled again when he saw his new boss, shaking her hand and blushing a bit when she kissed him on the cheek. <br><br>"Oh, um, well...G-Glad to be here." he said, trying to hide his blush as he sat down at one side of the table. "Um, I just wanted to...thank you again, for hiring me. You, uh, you won't regret it."

				"Hopefully you won't either," she chuckled as she picked up her soup spoon, as another maid entered carrying a soup tureen, followed by a second carrying porcelain bowls. <br><br>The first set the tureen down and started to ladle helpings of pale, sweet-smelling vegetable soup into their bowls. <br><br>Elaine smiled at them warmly and nodded her thanks as they curtseyed and withdrew, then started working at her soup, taking delicate sips.

				Jack just smiled, before leaning back so that the maids could place his bowl in front of him and ladle some soup into it. Thanking the pretty girl, he took his spoon and started to eat a bit. It tasted as amazing as it smelled, and after nearly five years of eating college food, it certainly tasted like one of the best meals that he had ever had.<br><br>However, conversation was a skill he really lacked, and he wasn't sure what exactly he could say. After a bit, he looked up, mumbling a bit as he said the only thing that came to mind.<br><br>"The soup is very good, Mrs. DeVere."

				"Thank you." Elaine smirked as she set her spoon down, pausing to watch Jack take another sip. "For what I'm paying the chef, it had better be." <br><br>The main course came out soon after, top sirloin beef in thick slices, with the second maid carrying a gravy boat and a platter of roast new potatoes and other vegetables. <br><br>"This is rather more than I usually have," Elaine explained as the maid bent over to set down the gravy boat, giving Jack a view of her ample bosom. "But it is a special occasion. Eat up, you need your strength..."

				Jack smirked a bit when she commented the food better be good with the pay the cook made. Well, he had to say the cook certainly earned the paycheck. He finished his soup by the time the main course was brought out, and when the maid bent over in front of him, putting her ample cleavege before his eyes, his eyes were locked onto the sight for a second before he quickly looked away, his face turning crimson.<br><br>This...was definitely going to be a long six months. <br><br>"Ah, I see." he said when she said this was a special occasion, "Do all new employees get such a reception, then?"

				"Only those who will be working with me very closely." Elaine smiled as she started slicing through her meat, before skewering a piece with her fork and taking it up to her waiting mouth.<br><br>Pretty young maids came and went as they ate with a click of high heels and a swish of petticoated skirts, bringing more side dishes, taking the empty soup bowls away, pouring more rich red wine. <br><br>As she bit a piece of meat off her fork and swallowed, Elaine said "So, any other hobbies besides the usual 'socialising, reading, watching films' on your CV? Anything else I should know about you?" she smirked.

				Jack just nodded as she answered his question, cutting into the meat and taking a bite. He all but groaned as he tasted it, so tender and juicy. This was definitely shaping up to be the best dinner of his life. And while he doubted every meal here would be quite like this, still, he was really looking forward to eating some good food again.<br><br>He tried not to pay attention to all of the pretty maids that were coming and going, and his was taking his first sip of red wine when Elaine asked her question. Frowning a bit, ultimately he just shrugged.<br><br>"Um...No, there aren't many other. I play chess, and I play tennis every now and then. As for anything else...Well, I don't think I'm a very interesting person. There isn't much to really know..."

				Elaine smirked. "Not to worry, I'm sure we can cultivate some interests for you. Tennis and chess are both good starts, we can find more along those lines. And we're already improving your palate for wine, I think?" She swirled her glass around before taking a slow sip, encouraging him to drink more of the strong, fruity wine. One generous glass was enough to make him feel just a little light-headed. <br><br>The first maid returned, bringing a warm fruit pie alreayd cut into sections and setting down a small cream jug beside it. She gave him a warm smile as she stood up, and turned around almost immediately, giving him an excellent view of the large bow at the back of her apron, the ends trailing past the hem of her short, full, petticoated skirt.

				"Oh, heh, well...I've never had wine before. It tastes great, though." he said, taking another drink. The wine was already making him feel just a bit warm, but other than that, he was fine. Jack had never been much of a drinker, preferring to study instead of go to drunken parties like most male college students, so he knew he would have to watch how much he drank to avoid a morning he would regret.<br><br>Finishing his plate of beef and the various side that had been served, the maid from before was back almost instantly, bringing out a pie and some cream. He couldn't help but look at her as she walked away, noticing the bow that she wore as a part of her uniform.<br><br>"Your maids have an...interesting uniform, Mrs. DeVere." he said, unsure how else to phrase it. They seemed a bit outdated, considering the current day and age.

				Elaine smirked. "My late husband's taste. The day maids don't have to wear it... it does take a certain type of girl to accept that as her uniform." She chuckled as she loaded a piece of pie onto her fork. "And they put a smile on a lot of faces, which the day maids' uniforms don't."<br><br>She ate the piece of pie, licking her full burgundy lips. "Mmm. Try some... a last indulgence before you turn in. I'll give you a busy day tomorrow..."

				Jack just nodded, figuring it would be best to drop the topic once he heard it had been in her late husband's tastes. Alright, well, quite a way to stick his foot in his mouth that time. He still had to wonder why the girls wore uniforms like that voluntarily, but...Well, he didn't doubt Elaine's claim of them putting smiles on faces. And when she recommended a piece of pie, he just nodded.<br><br>"Oh, of course. What kind of pie is it?" he asked, putting a slice onto his plate and taking a small bite.

				"Georgia peach. Very sweet." And so it proved, especially after the tartness of the wine. Soft and moist and warm.<br><br>A swishing of skirts and a clicking of high heels announced the second maid's return, this time to pour coffee. She gave him a generous smile, and a generous look at her bosom, as she offered to pour it.

				And it was very sweet. very good, of course, but very sweet as well. Jack was half-way through eating his slice of pie when the second maid returned with her smile and revealing uniform, offering to poor him some coffee.<br><br>"Oh, no thank you." he said, blushing a bit as he tried to keep his eyes on her face. While he loved coffee, if he was going to have a lot to do tomorrow, he wanted to make sure to get enough sleep tonight. And there was no way that would happen if he had a cup of coffee. "Thank you for the offer though." As he finished his pie, though, he wondered if that was it. Was it time to just excuse himself and go to his room, unpack his things, and go to sleep? He didn't doubt that Elaine would give him a busy day, so...

				The maid smiled warmly and nodded as she withdrew, walking around to fill a small cup and add cream and a sugar cube for Elaine, who nodded her thanks and lifted it to sip daintily, her pinky finger crooked out properly. The maid retrieved the dessert plates, cutlery and cream jug, and wiggled her way out of the room.<br><br>"Ready for bed?" Elaine asked once they were alone, smiling as she set her cup down. "You do have an early start... a lot to get used to on your first day..." She rose, smoothing down her skirt with one graceful motion of a hand, and gestured for him to accompany her out.
