The Pleasure: Mason Pov

The events that occured at the ball party last night had me restless.

 As I moved around the big dumbbell hall with drinks, I tried to listen to the conversation between Lila and President Leo as well as trying to hide from grumpy Ophelia who always had a thing or two to say about me.

 I grinned when I heard Lila reject the President flatly. Proud of her the least to say. For once, the cycle between elites getting married to themselves should be broken to allow 'peasants' like me have a way with the good life.

 And Lila was my key to having that life. When I met her at the same community shelter gathering, she was selflessly distributing blankets and food to the less privileged. 

I was able to acquire two more blankets for my family due to her blind kindness and pity.

Having observed her for a long time, I walked up to her after the distribution with a wrapped cheese bread that was distributed to us, only that I didn't eat mine.

 She was sitting on a wooden long bench and throwing massages at her neck and shoulder. I sensed she was tired and hungry and I took the cue to approach her and engage her in a discussion.

 "Hi ma'am, mind if I sit?" I asked politely.

 "Oh yeah you can." She shifted slightly on her seat. Courtesy.

 I took my seat and I couldn't help but notice her scent rising into my nose. She smelled good. Like a mix of lemon and strawberry. I stretched the food to her.

 "You must be hungry. You can eat this." 

 "Oh, that's so sweet of you but I'm okay. My friends actually went to get me some food." She chuckled while rejecting my gesture.

 "C'mon, I don't mind." I said again, pushing the food further.

 She looked at me with contemplating eyes. "You sure?" 

 "Of course, of course. I watched you working so hard. Thank you for caring for us."

 I watched her munch on the bread while she smiled beautifully. "My grandfather has always taught me kindness before he got sick. So it's just right to show it."

 "Who is your grandfather?"

 "Gilmore Louis. Do you know him?"

 I hesitated for a second, then cock my head. "No."

 We talked for a long time that day until we noticed the sun moving into the cloud. Surprisingly, we clicked intimately and I couldn't be more elated that she liked me and was inviting me to her huge mansion as she described the next day.

 As I stood up, I took one of her hand into mine and kissed it, she looked more affectionately at me and I saw her grin transformed into a cute smile.

 The next few weeks was all about us going out, having fun, kisses and hugs. If you ask me, it just happened. I guess I was lucky she picked me over president Leo whose delivered package most of the time always end up with my sister, Fiona.

 Fiona couldn't stop talking about Lila right from childhood, sometimes she would throw a fit about not having what Lila had in school. She would sulk and frown for days, refusing to eat until she'd gotten what Lila had. So I had to work my ass to get some money to satisfy my grumpy sister.

 My dad deserted us just when Fiona was born, I was just a little over five years old so I had a blurry memory of him. Mum had been the one catering for us since then until she fell terribly sick and bedridden, then I assumed the provider and bringing whatever falls on my table.

 When I saw Lila finished conversation with the president, I saw her haggling with my sister and I was shakenly mad especially when I saw the despair in my sister's eyes after they had their little blow out.

 I dropped the drink tray and traced her out of the ball, I saw Ophelia staring at me but I pretended not to notice. The night was really cold as I trailed Lila. I should've called her but I didn't, I just followed her while deliberating what to do because she disrespected my sister.

 I saw she was walking deep into the darkness where the green broad leaves of trees and grasses blocked the moonlight from shining down. The Forest!

It was regarded as a sacred forest in our not so large town. The government had earlier made a huge gate covering at the entrance of the forest but was hauled down years later when they discovered the resources in the forest served more and better purpose for the country as a whole.

I sensed another pair of eyes staring at her and I knew immediately that we weren't the only ones in the desolate darkness. I didn't call her as she walked aimlessly. My eyes followed her as she went into the deep dark forest. Alone! 

It was the next day after the ball party. I swarm round Lila's mansion throwing pebbles at her window. There was a huge sycamore tree that I enjoyed climbing to get to her window, when I saw she didn't peep out of her window, I climbed the tree, slowly and steady, knowing that a wrong foot could cause an imbalance and I would stumble down.

I got to her window and I climbed out of the tree, opened the window, thankfully it was opened. I hopped inside, straightening up with my hands cleaning my dress.

 "Hello Mason." I looked up and was shocked to see Ophelia's killer stare at me. I couldn't be more shocked.

 "Oh jeez! Ophelia! What are you doing here?" My heart missed a beat as I tried not to fidget.

 "Well, I'm right to be here, but the question is to you, what are you doing here?"

 "I came to see Lila. Look, I'm sorry I've been doing this but I just want to see her."

 "I'm not surprised. I know you've been climbing that tree to reach her and laying with her everything fucking chance you get, you peasant!" She snarled while walking towards me.

 My voice croaked as I struggled to make out a sentence.

 "That's -that's not true…"

 "What's not true you little thief. You think I don't know your little game and pretentious act with her?"

 "W-what game? I don't know what you're talking about?"

 "Oh you don't? Well let me tell you more. I saw you running after the mistress last night at the ball. Now we can't seem to find her, so I ask, what have you done with the mistress?"

 I could feel my hands visibly shaking as I stuttered. I shouldn't have ignored the spear look Ophelia casted me last night, now I seemed to be in a deep trouble.

 "I swear, I had nothing to do with her missing. I just followed her outside."

 "Oh yeah?" She was near me now and I couldn't practically feel her breath and warmth on my skin, I shifted uneasily.

 "Please. I really don't know. But I'll help find her and do all I can until she's found."

 "You sure about that?" I felt her hand moving slowly into my pant and I groaned, unable to move farther lest I aggravated her the more.

 "Ophelia, what are you doing?" I imagined my neck vein visibly shooting out as I looked away from her prying eyes.

 "Just a phone call to the cop with me as a eye witness and you'll be serving terms in jail. So if you're really serious about finding the mistress, we can start from somewhere. Here and right now!" 

 Pitifully, my cock grew hard and I moaned in distressing pleasure. I might know what she wanted from me now.

 "Ophelia, we can't do this." I muttered.

 "Then you prefer we do it at the station?" She was starting to kiss my belly, soon we would lock lips.

 I shook head vigorously and gave in to her. We started with a deep lustful stare, to locking lips and then I pulled up her skirt, she did mine too, slowly and as pleasurably as we could get.

 It got more intensely awesome with each seconds firing se

nsations of pleasure down my stomach. I flung her on Lila's bed and she made a deep slow moan.
