Wilton Hall had been her family's ancestral seat for over five hundred
years and the current incumbent family member Lady Maud Hamilton had no
intention of that ending on her watch! Time however was getting on and
at 36 she was aware that she did not have many fertile years left to
produce an heir. Having accepted that her husband, even though he had
tried, was incapable of providing what she needed Maud had reached the
conclusion that she had to consider other options.
Her marriage to Gregory fifteen years earlier had not been one of love
but convenience, even so a divorce was out of the question. He had
brought the financing that allowed Maud to revive her family's estate
from a moribund institution and turn it round into the profitable
enterprise it was today, while his marriage into her family provided
him with the respectability he craved, and a cover for his rampant
homosexuality. For all theirs was a loveless marriage Maud and Gregory
were exceptionally fond of each other and in many ways they had a much
closer bond than was found many other aristocratic unions. They
genuinely respected each other's strengths, and when they had to be
seen together they appeared to be the perfect twenty-first century
aristocratic couple.
Having known and accepted her husband's sexual tastes long before they
married, and as it was now evident that after many attempts that
Gregory was not going to be able to perform his duty, Lady Maud was
left with two choices. One she went for a sperm donation, which did not
appeal or she found a lover to get her pregnant. She knew Gregory would
not object to either, as an heir was as important to him as it was to
her. The only worry she had, was if she took a lover, she would have to
be careful that they were not someone who could attract his eye,
otherwise she would risk having Gregory ruin him!
Having spent many years actively pursuing the healthy outdoor pleasures
of hunting, shooting and fishing Lady Maud was no longer the slender
figured beauty of her youth. Not that she had ever been considered a
slender beauty owing to a genetic heritage that selected more for brute
strength, low cunning and a complete absence of morality when it came
to ensuring the family's survival. A former university oarswoman Maud
was a 'solid' woman with a reputation for getting what she wanted and
as she looked out of her estate office window she had an idea!
If it worked for her great, great-grandmother when her Earl did not do
his family duty why could it not work for her! The more she thought
about it the more it appealed and given the advances in medical
practices she would be able to ensure that both the press and Gregory
had absolutely no interest in her lover!
Pulling on her nose she walked over to her seldom used computer with
the kernel of her idea smouldering in her mind as she accessed both the
estates and Gregory's companies' personnel files. Deciding what she
wanted was easy and she set the search for a strict set of parameters,
the most important being that any potential lover had to be both highly
intelligent and able to drop out of his old life, which meant no close
family or entanglements. It took her most of the morning to narrow down
the subjects to three, two worked for Gregory and one worked for the
estate's Scottish holdings. Deciding to try the most suitable for her
needs first, she stood up and went to find her husband.
"Gregory!" she called thundering from her office into his apartment.
"Gregory!"
"Yes dear." He said looking up from the Times through a haze of cigar
smoke as she stomped into his smoking room and declared.
"I have decided to take a lover so that the hall goes to my offspring!"
"Fine dear, just don't bother chasing after that delicious lad who
started in the stables last month."
Lady Maud knew from the expression on her husband's face that even if
the 'lad' in question in question had been on her list of potential
lovers he was had already been ruined for her purposes!
"No Gregory that won't be a problem, you prefer your lovers muscular,
vigorous and none to bright, while I want a someone with a family
heritage that prized intelligence and a proven brain between his ears
so 'our' child will not make the mistakes of my father and
grandfather!"
He gave her a quizzical look before saying, "Just make it discreet
dear, and of course I'll acknowledge the child as mine."
"Excellent dear," Lady Maud said with a smirk as she informed him of
her choices ending with. "Oh and if you have not ruined him, have that
pretty looking new boy you got from the University who started in your
offices last month transferred over to my personal staff for three or
four weeks next month will you." Her smile turned predatory. "If he
works out, he will do just perfectly."
"David," Gregory said surprised, he knew Maud usually preferred to
share her bed with attractive women. "I would not have thought he was
your type?"
"He's not," Maud said with a grin. "Yet... but if I like him then I
will follow your example and do something similar to what you do with
your lovers and make sure he becomes my type, however in the short-term
and most importantly at his age he should have a working penis, and he
fits the bill intellectually."

"What's the rush Dave?" His flatmate said when he arrived home two
hour's after he left for work and started throwing clothes into a
rucksack.
"As no one else was available so the boss Sir Gregory has asked me to
run some papers to his wife at the estate in south-west Devon and work
for her for a couple of weeks!" David said excitedly. "This could be
the break I've been hoping for!"
From the moment the management had to placed him after induction in the
main offices IT department rather than the computer centre he had heard
that the one sure-fire way to get on in the company was to impress Lady
Maud.
"What's she like?"
"Lady Maud?"
His flat mate nodded.
"I've only met her a couple of times, and she comes over as kind of
intimidating."
"I meant is she fit, moron!"
"No, she's not pig ugly, but she's not what you'd call fit. I guess she
looks a little like a younger, taller and more muscular version of
Camilla, Prince Charles's wife," David said. "Imagine one of those
rowing birds if they kept fit into their thirties and you would have
how she looks."
"Not my type then, mind you man, women like that usually have loads of
those upper class birds flocking round them, you never know you might
even get a chance to shag an aristo!" his mate joked unaware of how
prophetic his teasing words were.
"Yeah and pigs might fly!" David laughed, knowing that his lack of
success with the ladies was an ongoing joke with his mates.
Less than an hour later David was in a taxi to the train station
wondering how he got so lucky. Sure he knew he was academically the
cream of the crop, but he did not have much else going for him. He was
all too aware of his manly failings, being a short, slender fine-
featured lad. One of his main gripes was even after three years at
university, he was still at 22-year-old, a virgin, who got age carded
every time he went into a pub or club! Completely unaware that it was
just these failings (in his mind) that made him so appealing to Lady
Maud, David made up his mind to pull out every stop to impress Sir
Gregory's wife!
The Hall was impressive and after asking one of the guides where to
find Lady Maud's office David was directed through a door marked 'staff
only' that led up some stairs. Although it was clearly a suite of
offices David was still rather overwhelmed by the opulence of
everything when a smartly uniformed maid met him in a reception area
and showed him to an imposing office door. Telling him to have a seat,
as David sank into a very comfortable chair opposite an empty desk the
maid knocked on the door politely.
A few moments later an upper-crust woman's voice called. "Enter!"
Sat looking at the art works on the wall David heard the door open and
the maid say. "There is a Mr Williams here from Sir Gregory's office to
see you Milady?"
"Ah, excellent Wendy show him in please and then bring us a pot of tea
please dear."
"Yes Milady."
With a smile the maid reappeared and told David, "You can go in now
sir."
Walking in David found himself in a very business like office with a
wide bay window overlooking the parkland that surrounded the estate. In
front of the window was a large desk behind which sat the imposing
figure of Lady Maud.
"Mr Williams isn't it?" Lady Maud said waving her hand at the chairs
opposite her desk. "Do have a seat?"
"Thank you Lady Maud," David said politely aware that she was looking
at him with interest as he took the offered seat. "And please call me
David."
She nodded and said with a smile, "I believe you have some papers for
me?"
"Yes Lady Maud," and handed them over.
Opening the first folder she perused the covers sheet, saying, "Now
then, Gregory tells me that he has temporally cut you to me for a few
weeks to help upgrade the estates technology?" she glanced at the
letter, "And he says here that you'll be able to lend a hand with the
organisation of the summer events program until I can find a new PA, as
you have some experience of event organisation from running some shows
at university?"
"Yes Lady Maud. They were nothing fancy, just a few plays and musicals
the drama soc put on."
"Excellent!" she cooed. Much to her delight he did not look like he was
in his twenties, and appeared to have the kind of submissive mindset
that she was looking for.
David almost jumped when there was a rap on the door.
"Enter!" Maud said noticing his jump.
"Your tea, milady," the maid said with a polite curtsy. "Where would
you like me to put the tray?"
"I think we'll have it on the sofa dear."
"Yes milady." With a final curtsy the maid silently left as Maud stood
up from behind her desk and said, "Shall we?"
"That would be lovely Lady Maud thank you."
"As I don't like to stand on ceremony in private, David, you don't mind
me calling you David dear?"
"Not at all Lady Maud," he said with a shy smile.
"Excellent, then when we are alone you must call me Maud."
Taking her time over that first cup of tea Maud felt David out and she
was not disappointed. With in minutes she knew he was perfect! Right
from the start she had suspected that David was probably the best
candidate and her suspicion was proven true, now all she had to do was
hook him, which from what she had seen so far should not be difficult!
Making no overt moves Maud set out to charm him and she could tell she
was succeeding. He had the kind of eager to please attitude that made
wrapping him round her little finger a fairly simple exercise as she
made sure to involve him in every facet of her life. For the month he
was with her he accompanied her everywhere. From business meetings to
her hairdressers, nowhere was out-of-bounds for David, and when she was
getting her hair done the following week it was easy enough to get
Carol to tidy his collar length hair up but keep its length as it would
make the next stage so much easier if it was not cut.
Enjoying every moment Maud pulled out the stops to make sure that by
the time David's temporary assignment was over he was fully aware of
what working with her could give him. From the five-star accommodations
and treatment when they went anywhere, to the designer suits she got
him so he looked the part. The choice of suits was one of her first
tests, and when he did not complain about wearing what were in effect
feminine styled suits cut for the male body them she knew the door was
open for the next stage in his development. By the time David's month
with her came to an end she felt sure he would be more than willing to
make his assignment to her staff permanent.
Although she had got him sent to the hall for purely selfish reasons,
David turned out to be a very efficient personal assistant cum
secretary, and unlike her last PA even showed a willingness to perform
the more servile tasks like serving tea for her guests. Never being one
to look a gift horse in the mouth she was more than willing to somewhat
alter her original plans to accommodate for these surprising talents.
Her original plan had been to do as her ancestor had done and hide the
father of her child as her personal maid now however she saw it would
be even easier to hide them as her PA.
First of all though she had to deflect any suspicion about the identity
of her new PA, and that meant she would have to return David back to
London offices for a few weeks before she could have him as a permanent
fixture at the hall. Hiding her intentions from him Lady Maud treated
David to a slap up final nights dinner before she had him driven back
to the station with his ears ringing with her thanks.
In truth Maud did not want to let him go but she felt sure she would
get him back and she knew just how. She would just head up to London in
a foul mood and throw her dummy out over the PA his office had found
her 'fucking up!' It did not matter if the PA was any good or not she
was not going to reach Lady Maud's standards and then she would leave
Gregory to reel David in. Yes, Maud gloated to herself it was all going
to work out perfectly!
*****
After a month in the opulent surroundings of the hall it was a definite
return to earth with a bump when David got back to Tooting and his
grotty shared flat. His flat mate was out and the sink was full of
washing up reminding him of just how much he was going to miss the
comforts he had experienced while living at The Hall. With a definite
feeling of regret about going back to the mundane world of the main
office and his boring junior technical officers post David knew he
would miss working for Lady Maud. Sure much of what he had been doing
once he had talked her through the new computer system had been
secretarial, typing her correspondence, answering her phones and taking
notes but he had enjoyed the work almost as much as he had enjoyed her
company!
Even though she was not in the least attractive in the conventional
sense, David had fallen a little in love with his temporary
aristocratic boss and knew he was going miss spending time in her
company. Once you got past her brusque demanding business manner Lady
Maud was scintillating company with a wide range of interests that made
her unlike any woman he had ever met, and during the month he had spent
working for her David had found her completely captivating.
"So did you shag any posh totty?" his flat mate said when he barrelled
in after closing time stinking of beer and curry.
"Not going to say," David said, "other than that her Ladyship kept my
nose to the grind stone pretty much the whole time."
"Yeah well what about the weekends, surely there must have been some
randy farmers daughter looking for a bit of London Prime?"
"Weekends... god I had forgotten they existed." David laughed, before
making out that Maud was a slave-driving gorgon to work for.
"Be glad to be back then!" his mate said, before lurching to bed.
"Well, well!" Ms. Harper the office manager said when David arrived at
work the following Monday morning. She was looking at him with thinly
disguised dislike as she spat, "Look whose back!"
Recalling that she had not been happy when Sir Gregory had marched into
the offices and said, "I need one of you to go to the Hall!" Looking
round he saw David working on the office router and said. "Ah David
you'll do! You know lots about computer systems and can advise Maud on
how the estates new system works. Get someone else to do that, I need
you to take some papers to the hall and then assist my wife with the
modernisation the estate's antiquated computer system, and if I
remember right don't you have some experience of putting shows on?"
"Yes Sir Gregory, I produced show for the drama soc at university."
"Excellent they you'll also be able to help out with the summer events
program for a few weeks, until we can find her a new permanent PA."
Her thin face was pinched and he could see in her eyes she was still
furious that he had got the job rather than which ever of her 'girls'
she thought was worthy of such a post. "Well the holidays over now
Williams!"
"What holiday?" David said, controlling his dislike of the woman. "Lady
Maud kept me blooming busy."
She harrumphed and spat, "Well you're not working for her now so get
yourself into the stores and sort out the boxes of IT supplies that you
should have done last week."
"Welcome back," Susan the other office IT tech, said when David finally
reached his desk two hours later. "Sorry about?" She nodded at the
stores. "I wanted to do it but 'Ms. Happy' refused saying it was your
work and you'll bloody do it." She lowered her voice and added, "Watch
your back with her Dave because she's really got the knives out for you
now."
"I sort of guessed," David said with a grimaced smile.
Like the other office techs, he was being very well paid to maintain
the head office computer network but in truth the job was about as
interesting as watching paint dry and with in a day or so David was
bored. He found he was missing the varied tasks Lady Maud had him doing
even if they were somewhat bellow his pay grade. He had been back in
the main offices for about three weeks and was getting closer and
closer to the point where he told 'Ms Happy' to stuff the job, when
Lady Maud came thundering into the executive offices in a furious
temper.
Maud was feeling rather impressed by her performance as she let rip at
all and sundry before she stalked into her husband's office and slammed
the door behind her. Through the door all the office staff could hear
her carrying on Sir Gregory's about the incompetence of the PA 'his'
office manager had found her. A few moments later 'Ms Happy' was called
in and was also feeling the brunt of Lady Maud's temper as she informed
her that she wanted a replacement and she wanted one now!
"I have just the girl," Jean Harper said feeling a wave of anxiety, the
girl she had sent to work for Lady Maud had been one of her favourites
with an excellent track record.
"I don't want another one of your primping tart's who go faint at the
smell of horse shit or a bit of claret!" Maud snarled. "I manage a
working estate, and want someone who can accompany me on my rounds
rather than flouncing about in some fancy office suit!" With out any
care to her language or who could hear them, Maud made no secret of Ms.
Harper's choices failings, before grumbling. "David might not have been
able to take shorthand but at least he was willing to learn, and didn't
faint at the sight of what goes in the slaughter-house ... Find me
someone like him!"
"I'll, I'll see what I can do Milady," Jean Harper said feeling cowed.
"You'll do more than see!" Maud snapped. "I want a PA who I can work
with, and doesn't get all weepy when Bambi is turned into bloody
sausages, and I want one soon!"
"Yes dear," Sir Gregory said in a placating tone.
"Don't you 'yes dear' me Gregory," Maud snapped. "I want a PA who can
do all the fucking job not look pretty behind a bloody desk!" With that
she spun on her heel and growled as she stalked out, "I'll be at the
flat Ms. Harper, have someone sent round for interview as soon as
possible!"
"Sorry Jean," Sir Gregory said once the Lady Maud was gone. Offering
her a brandy to soothe his fiery office manager's simmering fury about
the bollocking as he added, "You did not deserve that, however given
Maud's temper we better find someone and fast, so who have we got?"
Sir Gregory knew how to deflect every suggestion Jean made as they
discussed the potential candidates before he suggested, "You know since
she mentioned David I suppose we could always ask if he would be
interested... Like she said he might not have quite the skill set she
requires but she does appear to get on with him, and more importantly
he gets on with her, and not to beat about the bush he is someone you
want rid of?"
Jean at least had the good manners to blush. She had been unaware that
her boss had picked up on just how much she disliked David. It was not
just David she loathed Jean despised all the IT staff equally seeing
them all as over paid, slovenly and unprofessional!
"I think it might be best if I were to speak to him," Sir Gregory said
settling back behind his desk, "Go and ask him to come and see me will
you?"
Even down in the depths of the computer room David like all the other
low-level head office staff had soon heard all about Maud's arrival and
had a giggle over how she had ripped the executive staff a second
arsehole! Although on one level he was a little upset that he had not
had a chance to say hello, he was not surprised given their very
different social standing.
"Oh, oh watch your back Dave!"
David glanced up when Susan let out her quiet warning as 'Ms Happy'
stalked into the department and snapped looking round with a
distasteful look in her eyes.
"Williams, Sir Gregory wants you in his office now, move it!"
"Ah David, do come in," Sir Gregory said, when David was shown in. "I
suppose you are aware that my wife has just been in?"
"Yes Sir," David said feeling his usual sense of unease around the
boss. There was something about how Sir Gregory looked at him that gave
David the creeps, even though he never done anything to him, and had
shown himself to be an excellent boss.
"Excellent, now how did you find working for her last month?"
"Great, I really enjoyed it," David said honestly.
"Any personal problems with her?"
David shook his head. "No none sir, I found her very easy to work for."
"My god you must have the patience of a saint if you found Maud easy to
work for," Sir Gregory half laughed. "That's very unusual, however to
get back to business." As if he was mulling it over he examined David
for a moment before asking. "How would you like a substantial pay
rise?"
"For what Sir?"
"Taking on the post of Maud's PA full-time from sometime next week?"
The question hung there for a moment before David said, "Seriously?"
Sir Gregory nodded. "Having just gone through all the qualified staff I
could send her with Jean Harper, it was clear that none of them would
be able to work with Maud, you however have already proven you can...
Therefore I am willing to offer you the post and of course the pay
increase commensurate to that of an executive PA."
"Wow! I'd love to," David said eagerly.
"Now it wont be easy for you David, Maud at times can be a nightmare to
work for, being both demanding and very determined about having things
just how she likes them," Sir Gregory said adding. "Also I need you to
understand that the post means that you would have to move down to the
Hall and join her staff permanently, which means you'll be employed by
the Wilton estate rather than Hamilton Fund Management?"
"Oh yes, that would be fine," David said, "it's not like I have any
ties to London, or anywhere else come to that."
"Well then in that case I think you'll be just the person to send round
to see her. I know Maud likes you and she was very complementary about
your time with her."
"Thank you sir."
Gregory gave the boy a smile. Behind the smile he was half wishing that
Maud had not claimed the him because David was just the sort of pretty
boy who would have made quite a splash with his 'gay' chums if he could
have coxed him into becoming one of the house boys at his London flat!
Wondering if once Maud had done with David if he could have him Gregory
said aloud "In that case David I'll have a car ready to take you round
to her flat in a half hour. Since I expect Maud will jump at the chance
of having you, you might as well as see about going and clearing your
desk. I'll inform Jean Harper that you will be leaving us and I'll
arrange the employment transfer. Naturally we will pick up any costs
you incur as part of your transfer package and see that you are issued
with a company vehicle to move your possessions down to Devon."
Standing Gregory held out his hand and said. "Thank you so much for
doing this because an angry Maud is a force of nature and quite frankly
I have no wish for another repeat of this morning."
"No thank you Sir," David said shaking his hand, before walking out
stunned about the chance to work for Maud full-time!
****
"David! What on earth are you doing here?" Maud said with well-feigned
surprise when he was shown into the flat.
"Interviewing for the job as your PA Lady Maud," David said with a
smile.
"Oh I say that rather jolly, although I think we can dispense with the
interview," Maud said as she picked up a bell and rang it.
"You called milady?" Another one the uniformed maids said appearing as
if by magic at the door.
"Yes Claire, we'll take tea for two on the balcony."
"I am so glad Gregory offered you the job David, and that you were
willing to say yes," Maud said sometime later as they sipped tea over
looking the Thames.
"Well it was an opportunity I could not turn down Maud," David said
with a sheepish smile. "After my month at the hall, I have to say I
found going back to the office somewhat boring."
"Why did you miss me?" Maud said with an arched teasing smile.
"Honestly?" David said with a blush. "Yes."
"A lot?"
David nodded going even redder.
"How delightful!" Maud said taking his hand and giving it a squeeze.
Chatting about everything and nothing, Maud finally drew the interview
to a close after about an hour sure that she was making the right
choice. David was far too pretty to spend his life as a boy! Giving him
a big smile she said, "I am so glad Gregory offered you the job, now
when can you start?"
"Well I need to settle up my rent for the next two months as that's the
notice, and then move my stuff but I think if I pull my finger out I
should be able to start early next week."
"That will be perfect, I am not expected back until Wednesday evening
as I thought I'd be interviewing potential PA's early next week, which
will be rather jolly, as we can have a few days off and find our feet
before we need to start work," Maud said. "Now how much is your rent?
I'll write you a check now to cover that. I assume Gregory offered you
a car to move your belongings?"
"He did yes."
"Marvellous I'll arrange that it is assigned permanently to the estate,
as you'll need transport once you are living at the hall full time."
"Wow that would be great Maud, thank you."
"Excellent," Maud said asking him how much his rent was, before writing
him the cheque, telling David, "Then I will see you at the Hall in the
next day or so."
"I've not got that much in the way of possessions to pack and I can
probably be there tomorrow night."
"That's excellent then! I will see you when you arrive," Maud said
feeling a buzz of expectation.
After showing David out, Maud called Gregory and told him that his
presence would not be needed at the hall for the next month before
adding. "Issue the company car you are giving David to transport his
belongings permanently to the estate, and can you make it something
girlie, a cute hatchback or the like and have it delivered round to him
first thing in the morning? Also can you erase 'his' details from the
company database. If anyone asks we can always say he was only a
temporary employee, and I'll arrange Miss Williams details in the
estate files."
"Miss Williams is it dear?" Gregory laughed.
"Yes Greg it is, after all you said discrete and what could be more
indiscrete if I got myself a pretty young male PA just a few weeks
before I got pregnant!"
"I assume," Sir Gregory laughed. "That feminising him is also intended
to minimise my interest in his cute sweet arse dear?"
"Of course, I want to make sure that once he has fulfilled my
requirements, she remains my toy sweetie and not yours!"
*******
Feeling ecstatic David dropped the check in at the bank and then dashed
home arriving just after his flat mate and announced he was moving out.
Aware that Lady Maud would not approve if his dispatch rider flatmate
turned up at the hall David decided not to say where he was going, and
just said, "Told you impressing Lady Maud would do the trick! I've just
been offered a promotion and I'm being transferred up north but they
want me to start Monday so I'm moving out."
Pulling out his check book he wrote a check for two months rent saying.
"That will cover both our rent's for two months with landlord, which
will give you more than enough time to find a replacement."
"Cool, I know one of new lads at work is looking for somewhere else to
live so I'll offer him your room, when will you be gone?"
"Tomorrow hopefully, then I've got a few days to find my feet and
somewhere to live. The company are putting me up in a hotel until I
do."
Having only left university the year before David did not have much in
the way of possessions beyond his books, files, computers and clothes
so packing up took just one evening. A company driver delivered the car
to the Tooting flat just after nine in the morning, but it was early
afternoon before he was able to get away, as he had run round arranging
things like a postal divert, and inform everyone who needed to know
that he was moving addresses.
The car was a lilac coloured VW Beetle and it was very easy to drive,
which made it ideal for David's purposes having only passed his driving
licence a couple of months earlier. That a Beetle was clearly a
'chicks' car, and its colour meant that anyone who saw him behind the
wheel would assume it was being driven by a young woman did not occur
to David. He was just relieved that the controls were very similar to
the VW Golf he had learned to drive in.
It was almost 250's miles from London to the estate and with the
weekends weather forecast the normally busy Friday afternoon roads were
made worse with people heading to the coast and countryside to make the
most of it. After six long hours behind the wheel David was shattered
by the time he arrived at the hall. Using the 'staff' gate he drove up
to the hall and parked up in the old coach house beside Maud's estate
Land Rover. Wondering where her Range Rover was when he saw Maud
waiting for him at the entrance to the private garden as he got out of
the Beetle.
"Safe journey?" she asked walking towards him.
"Yes thank you, although the traffic was a bit scary at times," David
said, pulling his over night bag, and laptop from the car, the rest
could wait until the morning. "I thought I beaten you back when I did
not see the Range Rover."
"I dropped it in at the dealers for a service, before I went up to
London last Wednesday and since I did not expect to be back until next
week I told them not to expect me to pick it up until next Wednesday,"
Maud said, cheerfully chivvying him towards the 'family' apartment. "I
told you that you were in the same suite of rooms as last time?"
David nodded, as Maud punched in the pin code to the door lock saying,
"You know the way dear, I'll go and rustle something up for dinner I've
only been home 20 minutes myself."
Although the hall and it grounds were open to the public and employed
many local people as grounds staff, guides, and in the estates cafe,
gift and farm shop, the private quarters were strictly off-limits. On
the occasions when she needed to cater for a private dinner in her
apartment she borrowed a cook and service staff from the estate hotel,
or if was a formal dinner in the main hall she used a private catering
company. Although Maud did employ a maid during office hours it more
for the image than any real necessity, and she actively avoided having
a personal domestic staff in her personal space.
"I am afraid it's just us for the next couple of weeks dear," Maud said
when David found her in the kitchen prodding a pan of boiling potatoes.
"Since I expected to be in London until the middle of next week and I
have nothing on the agenda in terms of business meetings, Wendy (her
office maid) has gone on holiday with her boyfriend, but I'm sure we'll
manage, and if I do have business guests I'm sure you'll be able to
fill in for her."
"No problem Maud," David laughed tiredly after the long drive. "I'm
sure I'll look lovely in the uniform."
Maud chuckled and said, "I'm sure you would."
David had been joking never realising just how truthful his words would
turn out to be.
Dinner consisted of a frozen pie from the estate's Wilton Hall organic
range and boiled potatoes, washed down with a couple of glasses of red
wine and a coffee. With a full stomach David was falling asleep before
he finished his coffee so Maud sent him to bed!
Next morning after a leisurely breakfast Maud found David unpacking and
it was not difficult for her to entice him to join her by the pool in
what had been a kitchen garden greenhouse. "With the roof open and the
wall pulled back it's a real sun trap out there David, so wear
something comfortable and bring your book," She let out a mischievous
chuckle, "Since I'm not expected back until Wednesday and you still
look washed out from rushing to get here I think we should make the
most of having this wonderful weather and have a long weekend."
"Me neither," David admitted. "I'm still kind of wiped out from
yesterday."
"In that case I recommend a few hours sunning in the garden and may be
a swim in the pool if you get to hot?" Maud said struggling to hide her
anticipation.
Hidden from view by the public area's, the old kitchen gardens were a
quadrangle formed by the old stables and coach house on two sides, the
private quarters, and the converted greenhouse. As the section of the
hall had originally been the staff wing, it was only overlooked by the
rooms Maud and now David occupied.
"Have you got your book dear," Lady Maud said a little later as they
walked through the garden and into the pool house.
"Yes," David said.
Pressing the control to roll back the south-facing wall and opening the
roof she asked, "What are you reading?" Smirking to herself as she
slipped off her robe and settled down on one of the sun beds beside the
pool.
"The new Terry Pratchett," David managed to say as her body came into
view.
"Any good?" she said casting her robe to one side aware of the effect
she was having on him!
Just as Maud had hoped David was stunned to find out that under her
robe she was dressed in a blue bikini that left nothing to the
imagination.
"Umm yes!" David blushed looking everywhere but at her!
Letting him stew for a few moments she said, "You can look at me dear,
my bikini won't bite you!"
"Oh god I am sorry!" David blushed.
"Oh dear I have embarrassed you..." Maud laughed. "How sweet!" Enjoying
herself she teased him for a few minutes before saying, "To be honest
if I was here alone I would not have bothered with the bikini top as
they are not the most comfortable of things to wear."
That sent David really blushing as he spluttered, "They're not?"
"No, not at all," Maud laughed adding, "What?"
David had actually been thinking that because Maud was not by any
standards conventionally attractive it distracted people seeing that
she had a lovely body, but he was not going to say that and
consequently did not see the hole in front of him as he said. "They
look it?"
Laughing Maud said, "I wonder if you would say that if you had to wear
one?"
David did not know what to say and sputtered. "I wouldn't know?"
"Want to find out?" she teased.
"Erm?" David blushed recalling what Sir Gregory had said about keeping
on her good side. "I guess if you want?"
Laughing Maud said, "David it's not what I want, but if you are curious
about whether or not one of my bikini's is comfortable I don't mind
lending you one, in fact I think it would be rather jolly if you did."
She grinned. "It can be out little secret."
Blushing brightly David nodded and said, "Okay, why not."
"You will, how wonderful!" There was an edge of delight in her tone
that gave David a real thrill as Maud added springing to her feet with
a gotcha grin. "Oh this will be so much fun!"
Unsure of how he got boxed in like this, twenty minutes later David
slipped on to the sun bed beside Maud covered in sun cream and burning
with embarrassment about wearing a metallic pink version of the same
bikini, only his had just enough padding in the bra top to give him
some shape!
"Oh my you do look cute in pink dear!" Maud said with a pleased grin.
"I bet that's much more comfortable than your pants and tee-shirt?"
"Erm, yes I guess?" David said uncertainly. Much to his shock he
realised that embarrassment aside the bikini was a lot more comfortable
than his pants and shirt!
"Have a glass of orange dear and relax," Maud said pouring him a glass
before she settled down and seemingly became absorbed in her magazine.
Sipping the orange it did not take long for David to relax enough to
get engrossed in his book and forget about what he was wearing.
Maud however was not interested in her magazine instead she was
carefully observing David, and so far stage two was going according to
plan. She already had him wearing something undeniably feminine and he
appeared to be comfortable wearing it. All she had to do now was let
the sun do its work on his skin and after a little cajoling she felt
sure that he would be willing to play along with her plans for dinner
that evening.
After sunning herself for an hour or so, Maud slipped to her feet and
dived smoothly into the water saying as she surfaced, "The water is
lovely why don't you join me David?"
"I'll just finish my page and then I think I will," David said with a
smile. Not much later he stood and as he walked to the edge of the pool
Maud teasingly said, "I think if we are going to be sunning in our
bikini's during the forecasted excellent weather, we had better do
something about your unappealing hairy legs David."
"I suppose," David said with a shy smile as he slipped into the water.
"Marvellous dear, I'm sure I can get you looking wonderful later!"
"Think so?" David said.
"I know so darling," Maud said giving him a kiss!
He tasted amazing and as she slipped her arms round his slender body
Maud shivered as she felt him melting into her cuddle. Delighted about
how things were going she made the most of his surrender to her before
breaking the kiss and saying, "Did you like that sweetie?"
Blushing brightly David nodded.
"Good because I've been wanting to do that for a while!" Maud said with
a smile. Giving him another more demanding kiss she lifted her lips
from his and said. "Now before you start worrying, I can tell you now
that you need not worry about Gregory. I can assure you that he will
have no objections to me having a discrete little fling with my pretty
new PA. After all he keeps at least one of his boys at his town flat
and has been shagging the arse off one the stable boys here for the
last few months!"
Seeing David's shocked expression she added, "It might surprise you to
know that my husband is a screaming queer, who has no interest in the
ladies."
David's jaw hit the water.
With a trilling giggle Maud said, "When Gregory told me who he was
sending last month he described you a the pretty office IT boy with the
kind of cute arse that was just asking him to crack!"
David looked horrified, and Maud chuckled delightedly to herself as she
said, "He has had his eye on you for a while and I am sure that if I
had not needed a short-term assistant last month he would have likely
had a play for you!"
"I'm not gay!" David spluttered.
"So what, Gregory would not care, to him you are just a pretty boy
who's caught his eye, and he usually gets his way because he can be
very charming when he sets his sights on a boy," she chuckled. "I'll
bet he's had his way with 90% of the boys who caught his eye at his
office."
Maud like most aristocratic women knew how to manipulate people and
with David's eager to please attitude, she felt sure he would be easy
to push in the direction she wanted. Giving him another kiss she said,
"And this!" She gave his bikini-covered cock a squeeze as she
whispered, "Tells me you are not gay darling."
"Oh god!" David gasped as his cock turned into a pole in his pink
panties!
"Mmm feels lovely!" Maud giggled looking him in the eyes as she
caressed him adding with a sly smile, "Unless his attentions interest
you I think I can suggest away to make sure his interest soon fades...
and one you will enjoy rather a lot if your comment yesterday and your
willingness to wear a bikini today is anything to go by?"
Aware that if she tipped him over this early David would likely clam up
with embarrassment she ended her caressing giving his cock a final
squeeze as she said, "I think I want this for myself, so if you don't
have any objections I think I will ensure that Gregory loses interest
in you by feminising your look somewhat."
"If you think it would work Maud!" David said clearly terrified about
having Gregory coming onto him.
"Oh it will work darling," Maud cooed in his ear. "If you let me I can
have you looking so feminine that Gregory will have about as much
sexual interest in you as he does for me!"
"I hope so!" David blushed.
A little later once they were out of the pool and Maud gave David time
to calm down before she said. "You know my suggestion about deflecting
Greg's interest in you holds a benefit for me as well David....
David... No that won't do, but Dee would be rather good don't you
think?"
David shrugged still rather embarrassed that Maud had kissed him and
terrified that her husband wanted his backside!
"Yes Dee, I prefer that," Maud said with a smile. "Now as I was saying
I can see a mutual benefit in me feminising your looks because I have a
request of a more personal nature?"
"Anything if you can stop Sir Gregory chasing me," David said.
"Anything, huh?" Maud chuckled. "I do hope you mean that."
"I do!" David said.
"Marvellous," Maud said. "Now as I mentioned my husband is an
irrepressible homosexual, and even though we have tried he has been
unable to sire me with any off spring. Since you and I appear to have a
certain chemistry going on I was wondering if you would like to solve
that issue for me?"
"You want me to get you pregnant?"
"Yes Dee, I do," Maud said with a smile. "I think you'll be perfect,
after all I have every intention of bedding you, and as I personally do
prefer a feminine bedmate, if you let me I can have you looking so
feminine that you'll be very appealing to me, and by the time my
husband next comes down to the estate you won't appeal to his eye one
bit. Also we'll be able to hide you in plain sight as my 'female' PA,
giving you access to our children and no one will ever suspect that
Gregory is not the father!"
David was shocked to say the least, but Maud's plan would insure that
Sir Gregory did not 'crack' his arse. Feeling confused David nodded,
and said with a scared smile. "That sounds like a good idea."
Excellent! Maud cried to herself in triumph, and quickly moved to seal
the arrangement, as she slid over and said, "Come here Dee, I think I
should sample the goods now!"
David was delightfully inexperienced and Maud could tell he was either
a virgin or very close to one. However on the plus side it meant she
could train him to please her in every way and sexually bind him to
her.
"You know what would be rather jolly this evening darling," Maud said
teasing 'Dee's hair after pleasuring herself mightily on his
delightfully inexperienced penis a couple of times and introducing him
to the art of pleasing her with his tongue as he recovered between
bouts. He had been so hesitant to go down on her at first, but once she
started showing her enjoyment and verbally cajoling him to work her
pussy it he quickly became very enthusiastic carpet muncher!
Wrung out David whispered, completely enraptured by Maud behaviour.
"What's that?"
"We find out how you look in Wendy's uniform darling, and," she giggled
naughtily, "let the lady of the house have her wicked way with my
naughty lady's maid this evening?"
David blushed. "I think I would like that," he giggled. "Milady."
"Good girl, Dee, this will be so much fun!" Maud chuckled delightedly.
Four hours later David was not so sure once Maud had painfully removed
most of his body hair, strapped him in a very tight corset attached to
a pair of stockings. On his chest he had a pair of rather large
wobbling false boobs shaping the cup of the corset, which he had to
admit massively changed his appearance under the black maids uniform he
was now wearing. With his hair curled and his face painted with makeup,
perched on a pair of high heels he could not believe how different he
looked.
"My god you look better than Wendy does in uniform darling," Maud
exclaimed once she finished prettying him up. "And you'll be pleased to
know dressed like that I can guarantee that Gregory will have even less
sexual interest in you, than he does for me! Now how do you feel?"
"A little strange to be honest Maud," David admitted. "I can't believe
how much I look my mum."
"Well I think you look smashing," Maud said with a lustful giggle. "And
I can't wait to play with my pretty maid after she had served dinner."
The lusty edge in her giggle perked David's interest up. "Do you want
me to make something Maud? I'm not a bad cook if I say so myself."
"Oh how marvellous and if that includes an offer to perform the maid
duties since you're now dressed the part, you could always fetch me a
nice gin and tonic, and lay the table for dinner dear," She lifted her
phone, adding, "Although I'm trying to avoid work this weekend I do
have a phone call I must make."
Chuckling David could not resist bobbing his knees and saying, "Yes
milady, ice and a slice?"
Giggling, "I'm going to have to teach you how to do that properly after
dinner Dee, but for now I'll settle for two fingers of gin, two fingers
of tonic, lots of ice and a slice on lemon."
"Of course milady," David said playing along.
"Marvellous, I'll be in my office," Maud said, giving David a quick
French kiss accompanied by a teasing an up-skirt grope, before patting
his skirted bum adding, "Off you go sweetie your mistress is rather
thirsty from this afternoon."
Giggling to himself amazed at how sexy the uniform felt teasing the tip
of his stiff penis as he wobbled feeling off-balance in the heels to
the apartments kitchen and made Maud her G&T. Placing the drink on a
tray as he had seen Wendy do, David made his way to her office and as
the door was closed knocked.
"Come in dear," Maud called, pointing at her desk, as she said into the
phone, "Yes Margaret that's correct, and if anything important comes up
I'll have my phone, but otherwise everything else can wait until I get
back sometime next weekend."
As he bent over to place her drink on the desk, Maud gave him a naughty
grin and stuck her free hand up his skirt and snapped his suspender
before she gave his lingerie covered penis a caress. Grinning she blew
him a kiss as she removed her hand which made David blush and giggle.
He was really enjoying both the role and the outfit. Giving Maud a
wobbly bobbed of the his knees, he walked out aware his skirt swishing
on his stiff penis in time with the clicking of his heels on her
hardwood office floor.
Who ever would have thought that dressing as a girl could be this much
fun!
Watching him walk somewhat off-balance away Maud grinned feeling her
moist pussy burning with delight at the thought of keeping David,
skirted from now on. Once he had gone she called Gregory and said when
he answered somewhat breathlessly. "Having fun dear?"
"Hello Maud, and yes, Marcel is a wonderful boy."
"I was just calling to remind you to stay away from the hall for the
next month dear, I've already got Dee in skirts and I don't want any
reason for her to want to her trousers back. Make a surprise appearance
just before your clay shoot and don't inform my office in advance as I
want you to surprise her, and make a comment about how I have ruined
'his' appeal because the poor girl is terrified that you'll put the
squeeze on her!"
"Certainly Maud, and is he any good for the other purpose?"
"Dee responds very vigorously dear, and I am not expecting any problems
with fulfilling my primary objective for having her."
"And then?" Gregory asked.
"If you are wondering if you'll be able to have him dear the answer is
no, because once I have an heir in the oven and may be even a spare
given we Wilton's do tend to produce twins, I'll see about improving
her so that she develops into my kind preferred bedmate. I'm told the
medical profession can do wonders today."
"Pity," Gregory said, "but she belongs to you now and if that's your
intention by the time you are done with her he'll be ruined."
"Upgraded dear," Maud chuckled, "And anyway when I am done with her
I'll find her a good husband and set her up in a small business
somewhere on the estate." She could hear to her husbands heavy
breathing and realised that Marcel was probably between his legs as she
added. "It would appear you are busy Greg so I'll leave you to your
amusements, and see you next month."
Sipping her gin at her desk Maud planned her next move, since Dee had
taken to the maids uniform so willingly she felt sure that she could
concoct an excuse for him to wear it again tomorrow evening. As the
weather was forecast to be excellent again, they could spend the day
improving their tans and as she should be peaking in her monthly cycle,
if he was working correctly perhaps there was a chance he might even
perform the primary reason for his presence straight out of the gate.
Sure that she had doing the right thing both personally and for her
family obligations Maud strolled down the private corridor towards her
apartments with a smile on her face, which widened when she saw Dee
appearing to be every inch her maid, looking flushed with a mix of
embarrassment and excitement as he finished laying the table for
dinner.
"Oh my!" Maud said. "That looks wonderful dear. Where on earth did you
learn to lay a table?"
"Same place I learned to cook milady," he grinned cheekily and bobbed
his knees. "Working in a restaurant when I was an undergraduate."
"How wonderful!" Maud gushed. "And I think someone is taking to her
maid-like role, because you look positively scrumptious curtseying to
me in your uniform Dee."
"Thank you Milady," David grinned. "I know its kind of wrong, but this
is so much fun to wear, and feels weirdly really nice."
"I glad you feel like that dear, because dressing like that is your
best defence against my husbands wandering eye and hands." Maud
chuckled and added, "Now what's for dinner after this afternoons
entertainments with my naughty maid I'm famished?"
David blushed very prettily when she reminded him of her aggressive
love-making that afternoon. "A beef salad milady, if I had more time I
could have done a lot more with it but for a throw together I think
you'll like it."
"Where did you get the coleslaw and potato salad Dee, they are
wonderful?" Maud asked as she enjoyed every mouthful of the dinner
David 'knocked up' in the forty minutes she gave him.
"I made them, it was not difficult as you had everything to hand," he
said watching her eat with a look of adoration in his eyes.
"Mmm," Maud said clearing her plate. "That was delicious dear, and I
can see I'll be making use of your surprising kitchen skills if this is
what you produce on short notice."
"Glad you enjoyed it Maud," David said clearly delighted, as he stood
to collect their plates. "Coffee milady?"
"Oh I did!" She laughed. "Yes please, a coffee would be wonderful
dear."
When David returned with the coffee pot, Maud commented as he poured
her coffee, "If my grandmother could see me now she would be spinning
in her grave at the idea that the Countess of Wilton Hall was dining at
the same table as her lady's maid." She let out a chuckle as she
recalled the dowager countess, "If she had been here you would have
spent the evening stood at my shoulder dressed in a formal Edwardian
uniform with your hands clasped in front of your apron and your head
respectfully bowed until I needed something, she was a stickler for
correct etiquette both towards and from the servants."
"What like this," David said with a giggle as he stood how she
described.
"Yes darling, just like that, which reminds me that I said I'd teach
you how to curtsey properly. Stand as you were in the waiting to serve
pose dear, with your hands clasped and your head down, then keeping
your weight on your right foot, bring your left foot back a half step
and out at a slight angle, hold the edge of your skirt with your back
straight and bob your knees."
Smiling David did as she asked clearly still unsteady in heels.
"That's it perfect Dee!" Maud said. "I can see with a little practice
you'll put both Wendy and Claire to shame."
"Do you think so?" David blushed rejoining her at the table.
"I do indeed, you're prettier than Wendy for starters, and have a far
more relaxed attitude towards social convention than Claire, who is a
wonderful girl but she takes life far to seriously."
"What's a formal Edwardian uniform Maud?" David asked after a sip of
his coffee.
"They are really just a Victorian maids uniform with out the full
skirts. Basically a more fitted, with a long straighter skirted version
of what you are wearing. I've never worn one but given the fashion then
required tight corseting to look right I can't imagine they are as
comfortable to wear as the uncomfortably restrictive formal gowns I
wear on period weekends," Maud said grinning to herself as she read the
curiosity in his eyes. "We've got a half-dozen reproductions of each,
Edwardian and Victorian in the uniform store for the formal dinners
that culminate the period re-enactment weekends we run two or three
weekends a year," she chuckled. "The girls who play the formal maids
hate them that much we have to pay extra to get them to wear them. If
you every want to try one you're more than welcome to try as I'm sure I
could find something in your size."
"May be I will," David chuckled.
Filling his curiosity about wearing a period uniform away Maud spent
the rest of evening reinforcing her arguments that Gregory would ignore
him if he looked feminine, and doing her best to bond his affections to
her by making the most of her personal maid both before and after she
took him to her bed.
"My god Dee!"
Maud exclaimed breathlessly after his tongue brought her off with
another glorious orgasm once she had completely drained his penis's
ability to rise to the challenge once more. "You must have the soul of
a lesbian because I've never know a man develop such a talented tongue
in such a short space of time!"
Emotionally and sexually exhausted David smiled up from between her
legs and said breathlessly, "The pleasure was all mine milady."
Ten minutes later he was sound asleep looking very cute a short pink
nightdress!
As was her habit Maud was awake by six and felt a shiver of pleasure as
she saw David curled up beside her still fast asleep. Moving carefully
so she did not wake him, Maud slipped out of bed and went for a wash.
As she was moisturising her skin, she noticed the package of blond hair
colour she had purchased by mistake and had forgotten to return the
last time she got her hair done. Picking it up she examined the box and
smiled at the mirror in delight as she read the expected results
description, Dee had mid brown hair and if it worked like the packaging
said then it would bleach his hair into a rather glorious golden blond.
Although if asked Maud would deny it, she usually got her raven hair
coloured to cover up her ancestral predisposition to prematurely grey
when she went to the hairdressers, and usually kept a package of the
colour the hairdresser used at home for the rare occasions during the
summer when her estate commitments meant she could not spare the half
day it took to get her hair done.
Smiling to herself she wondered if she could get Dee to let her use it
on his hair? Maud had a preference for blonds both as servants and
partners and had always hoped to convince Dee to go blond before 'her'
public debut, but since she had the hair dye why not see if she could
move him that way straight from the start. Grinning to herself as she
realised that she could use Gregory's attraction as the leaver and
quickly dressed in a fresh bikini and a loose beach dress.
Putting a similar outfit out on the dresser for David she walked to the
kitchen and made pot of tea listening to the breakfast weather forecast
chuckling with delight when she heard it was going to be another
beautyful day with temperatures in the low 30's. At a little before
seven she took him a mug of tea and said brightly as she threw back the
curtains. "Good morning Dee!"
Jolted from his sleep David looked at her sleepily, as she said
cheerfully, "It's going to be another glorious day, and I think another
lazy day by the pool is called for."
"Erm yes."
"Wonderful I've put you a fresh cossi out and a beach robe, when you
have woken up and had your tea, come on down to the kitchen and we'll
have some breakfast, because I have had an idea that might help in
relation to Gregory's carnal interest in your cute bottom darling."
"What do you have in mind?" David asked waking up when she reminded him
of Gregory's interest.
"Nothing serious, just trim your hair into a fringe and something
closer to more of a bobbed look, and pop a little colour in to lighten
it up Dee," Maud said. "I know my husband tastes, he either goes for a
bit of rough in the form of a butch muscular boy or a the slight
slender waifish looking ones who fit a more stereotypical gay image who
he can dominate. Obviously you fall into the latter category."
David went bright red.
It did not take much convincing from there to get David bent over the
bath letting her wash his freshly trimmed hair and apply the colour.
"Well while that's doing, how about some fun painting each other
nails?"
"Okay!" David said, enjoying the completely surreal start to the day.
He blushed and admitted. "I really enjoyed having you make my face up
and do my hair last night."
"Did you how wonderful, so did I darling," Maud said giddily. "And even
if Gregory was not interested in your arse after seeing you smartly
uniformed as my lady's maid last night, I think I'd prefer it you
adopted a more overtly feminine appearance anyway dear. I'll be honest
I've never really felt comfortable with having close male staff until
you came along in May. Now pick a colour, or do you think we should
match nails to bikini's?"
"Milady's choice," David giggled, enjoying the morning immensely.
"Matching I think, mother always said unless it one's nails were red, a
girl should try to co-ordinate one's nails, and outfit, so blue for me
and pink for my maid!"
"Pity yours are not a little longer Dee as they would look even
better," Maud commented as Davids now Barbie pink tipped fingers
painted her toes metallic blue. For a first timer he had done a rather
good job her fingers she noticed as they quickly dried in the already
warm air. "Remind me later Dee and I'll teach you how to give a
manicure, I do enjoy having someone do my nails and I'm sure my
delightful new maid would enjoy doing them for me in the future?"
"Oh yes milady," David said enjoying the scent of the nail varnish he
was applying to her toes.
"Oh my god!" David exclaimed as the colour jumped out at him once Maud
started drying his hair with her hair dryer.
"Fabulous isn't it darling!" Maud said excitedly as she dried his now
golden blond hair. "You'll look stunning in uniform with hair like
that, and never have to worry about my husband, because the way we are
going you'll really not appeal to him!"
Maud could not keep her eyes or her hands off her new 'girl' once they
were ensconced in the sun beside the pool. There were times when she
felt like a randy teen who had just discovered the joy of sex. Giggling
with delight as David eagerly responded to her completely uninhibited
sexual nature, and was more than willing to let her indulge her carnal
desires on him. Although Maud had never been able to take any great
sexual satisfaction from natural penetrative sex, there was something
delightfully pleasurable about riding Dee's penis until he came even if
he could not last long enough to provide her with an orgasm, but that
did not matter as his tongue could!
After a day and a half in the sun being regularly basted in sun tanning
bronzer, by Sunday evening David was both sexually spent and sun
branded with the same tan lines as Maud was now sporting, and she
adored how obviously the shape stood out on his body as they showered
before dinner.
"Wow!" she exclaimed after dressing him in 'his' uniform and fixing his
hair and makeup. "What happened to the boy who came down on Friday?"
With his now blond hair styled into a high pony tail while left loose
at the back, pink nails and his face painted to Maud's liking, wearing
the same heavy black uniform and crisp white apron as the night before,
David looked nothing like he did when he arrived.
Giggling David quipped with a curtsey, "You sacked him, and hired me
instead Lady Maud."
"Oh so I did Dee my darling, so I did. Now since you're my lady's maid,
don't you think you should be aiding your Mistress to dress, young
lady?"
"Oh yes milady," David said playing along with a curtsey.
It was a very weird thing to find out about yourself at 22 years that
you liked wearing girl's clothes David admitted to himself as he
dressed Maud.
Watching him she mused, "Perhaps I should keep you as my lady's maid
Dee, because you do look very cute, and comfortable dressed like that?"
David chuckled. "Being your maid is for fun milady, being your PA is
work."
"Well it would be most unusual to have a maid who is also my PA but it
is an interesting idea Dee," Maud said, delighted that he had suggested
it with out her mentioning it.
Little by little over the following days, Maud added further feminising
touches, on the Monday she plucked his eyebrows, Tuesday his ears were
pierced the traditional way maids got their ears done with a needle and
a cork. Wednesday David was introduced to an office style uniform, and
spent the day working as Maud's PA in the estate office and before long
it was fairly well-known amongst the staff that 'her nibs new PA is a
blond bird called Diane.'
Thursday was spent further improving his feminine demeanour, first of
all in the office when she showed him some of the exercises her
governess had made her do as a girl, before spending an hour in the
evening teaching him to dance as a girl. After a week of intensive
feminine coaching Maud decided that Diane was now ready to face the
real world and so on the Friday she took him to Bideford, to get their
nails done!
As she sat in the salon getting her nails done Maud felt it had been a
very successful week, because at the David was perfectly happily
referring to his self as, and responding to Diane, a name she picked
at random when on the telephone to a customer who purchased rather a
lot of organic produce from the estate farm. Not that David was
worried, any feelings of disquiet he might have felt at first from his
sudden change in gender lifestyle were overwhelmed by the simple fact
that it protected him from Sir Gregory, and looking like he did made
Maud sexually insatiable so that she was screwing his brains out when
ever the opportunity arose.
Yet as the day's progressed into weeks, and then a month David knew
every thing about what he was doing with Maud was wrong, but he was
having the time of his life. The clothes were fun, the sex was amazing
and he really liked his job, but perhaps more important at least for
him, was the truth that unlike at any other time in his life he,
actually liked the reflection he saw in the mirror every morning!
Although she tried her best Maud did not get pregnant during his first
month at the hall as Diane, but she was not unduly worried as it gave
her the chance to reinforce the 'personal servant' mentality she was
inculcating into her lady's maid. Not that it needed much reinforcing,
because the wider she opened the box to the life she wanted for him the
more willing David was to climb into it. It was simply delightful how
rapidly David started to automatically curtsey and stand in the waiting
to sever position, when he was uniformed, which was most evenings and
she even caught him doing it when he was dressed in his smart short
skirted office suit. David or rather Diane was very quickly becoming
the perfect 'companion,' and before long 'she' was performing all the
duties Maud looked for in both a PA and a lady's maid.
It was five weeks after David moved down to the Hall permanently when
Sir Gregory arrived earlier than expected to make sure that all the
arrangements had been made for a weekends clay shoot he had arranged
for some Japanese clients of his fund management business. Although
David was aware it was on the program, he had become so enamoured with
the fun of living as Maud's PA cum maid that he had forgotten all about
why he was dressing as Diane until Sir Gregory walked into the private
apartment late one afternoon, and said with out recognising David
dressed in his maids uniform. "Is my wife in her office?"
"Yes Sir Gregory," David said bobbing his knees.
"Fetch a pot of tea for three to her office dear, I assume David is in
with her?" He waved him away saying, "Quick as you can with the tea
please, there's a good girl," and strode towards Maud's office.
Grinning with delight as he swished away to make the ordered pot of
tea, Maud's idea had worked! For the first time ever he did not get
that uneasy feeling as Sir Gregory's eyes passed over him, which was a
relief.
Five minutes later he knocked at Maud's office door, and waited until
she said, "Come in Diane."
"The tea Sir Gregory ordered milady," as he said bobbing his knees,
"where would you like it milady?"
"Maud!" Sir Gregory said looking at David in disgust, "You've ruined
him, he was such a good-looking boy!" He harrumphed loudly, and said.
"Crying bloody shame that he turned out to be that way inclined! I was
so looking forwards to getting to know him away from the office, and
you've bloody well went and let him ruin himself!"
"Improved darling, improved," Maud said giving David a sly wink. "And
from my point of view Diane makes a much more appropriate looking
assistant."
Sir Gregory, harrumphed and said, "If you say so dear," and slumped
down on to the sofa adding as he waved to the low coffee table, "Here
will do, Diane is it now?"
"Yes Sir Gregory," David said with a blush putting the tea-tray down.
"What a bloody waste you were such a good-looking boy, but one can't
cry over spoiled milk, are you happy living like this?"
"Extremely Sir Gregory," David said aware of Maud giving him an I told
you so smile as she joined her husband on the sofa.
"Well when the time comes, the estate will of course pick up any costs,
I know since it's the same policy as we use in my business that the
health plan covers transgender treatments and necessary cosmetic
adjustments, I assume you are on a regulated program?"
"Not as yet," David said confused about what he was talking about.
"Well no matter I'll sort it out for you on Monday when I get to the
office," Sir Gregory said. "Since it's clear from just looking at you
that this is what you want, but if you change your mind before you go
to far down that path then I'm sure I can find a place for you."
David went a little pale under his make up and said hurriedly. "I
cannot see me changing my mind Sir Gregory, but thank you for the
offer."
"Will you be staying for dinner Gregory," Maud said ending the line of
questioning. "Diane is a wonderful cook?"
"I was going to dear, but since my plans have been scuppered." He
looked at David's feminine form in disgust. "I'll head down to the
lodge, and make sure everything is ready for when Mr Suzuki and his
party arrive tomorrow. I assume you have made all the arrangements for
the formal dinner Saturday night?"
"Of course, the caterers will be here Saturday morning, and the grand
dinning room will be closed from mid day so the tables can be prepared.
Dee and I have a pair of wonderful period frocks which will blow their
socks off when they arrive," Maud glanced up as she joined Gregory on
the sofa and said giving David another sly wink. "I think that will be
all for now Diane. If we need anything I shall ring, so you may as well
as go get on with laying the table for dinner dear."
"Yes milady," David said bobbing his knees hearing Sir Gregory saying
to himself as he left the office. "Such a waste of a nice looking boy."
Once David had gone, Maud kissed Gregory on the cheek and said, "Thank
you Greg, you played that just perfectly."
"I was not bloody playing Maud," Gregory said looking decidedly grumpy.
"I thought you'd just dress the boy up, not turn him into one of your
bloody girls, good lord I did not even recognise him when I arrived!"
Maud chuckled and said, "Am I good, or am I good dear."
Gregory harrumphed again, and then chuckled. "It's just as well I have
Marcel waiting at the lodge dear, or I'd be even more annoyed with you
for doing that to a boy I had my eye on!"
"I assume when you asked about a program you were talking about a
medical transformation?"
"Yes Maud, that's precisely what I was asking, you might have opened
the door but that boy is clearly transgendered." He looked at Maud's
face and laughed. "And you did not guess, did you?"
"Well I never, to be honest it never even occurred to me?" Maud said
astonished.
"Just as well that he is Maud since that is pretty clear the direction
you're aiming all along to take him in from your comments, but now I
have seen him or rather her I thought it best that you got him some
professional help."
Thirty minutes later Sir Gregory's Jaguar was heading away from the
Hall towards the Hunting Lodge on the other side of the estate where he
entertained his boyfriends and business guests.
"You were right Maud," David said giving her a kiss when she walked
into the private wing of the Hall. "Making me look like a girl worked
brilliantly!"
"Yes Dee I know, but perhaps it worked a little to well," Maud said,
having decided how to make the best use of the opportunity her husband
had provided.
"In what respect?" David asked brushing a speck of dust off the table.
"He thinks you are genuinely transgendered darling, and want to go on a
gender reassignment program. That's what he said he'll sort it out on
Monday." Maud pulled her nose. "I know what Gregory is like when it
comes to looking after his staff, which means he will almost certainly
make you an appointment with a gender specialist doctor, and if you
don't go he'll assume you have changed you mind about being a girl and
try even harder to have his way with you."
"Oh," David blushed. "I had not thought about that, but would it matter
if I was transgendered?"
"Well no, not really, I suppose, I'm sure you'll be able to put the
next Earl of Wilton in my oven before the treatments really work," Maud
said astonished.
"Good!" Diane said with a nod of her head. "Then I think I should tell
you something."
Diane did not have a chance to tell because Maud pulled her into a long
and very passionate kiss!
She already knew what Diane was going to saw and showed it!
The End.
Epilogue
Three weeks later, when Maud, as had become her habit, used a home
pregnancy test she sat there in disbelief for a long moment gazing in
amazement at two thick lines that were developing on the plastic tip!
Over flowing with delight she spent the day unable to concentrate,
trying to keep her excitement in check until she had it confirmed by
her doctor. However as Diane served her dinner, Maud raised her final
glass of wine for nine months to the portrait of her great, great-
grandmother holding a baby, with her neatly uniformed lady's maid stood
behind her, and silently thanked her ancestor for the diaries that gave
her the idea in the first place.
