Spent the afternoon in the cellar fetching wine for the evening’s guests. The air down there is cool and still, thick with the scent of damp stone and oak barrels. My fingers traced the dusty labels, and for a moment, I wasn’t a maid—I was a woman alone in the dark, feeling the weight of the silence press against my skin. It reminded me of last week, when my Master ordered me to wait for him in his study after dark. No lights, just the moon through the window. He didn’t speak when he entered; he simply pushed me over the desk, hiked up my skirts, and fucked me raw from behind. The only sounds were my muffled whimpers and the slap of his hips against my ass. He came deep inside me, then left me there, dripping and used, to clean up the mess. Sometimes the most profound moments of service happen in total darkness, where my only purpose is to be an empty vessel for his pleasure. It’s in those silent, brutal moments I feel most alive.
