Chapter Nine- Heated Tension

After the previous day's interaction, something had changed between Igor and Maisie. There was more tension between them, and more attraction. Igor hadn't ever really felt this way about anyone.

He had felt something when he had met the mistress, but it faded away to just a general appreciation of her.

To know that she had felt bad about what she had done (she had remorse), he had regained his appreciation for her and his hate fizzled away.

Their relationship turned into something a bit more real. It wasn't the same old tiresome servant and mistress combination that they used to have. Life wasn't as boring anymore for Maisie or Igor. It turned into something real. Even with him keeping the same routine and schedule he did it with a little more spunk. 

Maisie had begun to call on Igor way more often in a day. 

"Igor, please come here." Was the general starting point of an almost all day bonding for Igor and her. 

"I want you to watch TV with me from now on, but let's not tell my Parents or brothers." She smiled at him. So, Igor finally found out what was so great about television and being with the girl he loved.

She even permitted him to make them popcorn. They watched hundred year old movies like fight club, or gone with the wind. Some where romantic, and some were chocked full of action.

Maisie told him she didn't like the newer movies because they were full of propaganda about the new christian church. She just wanted to enjoy her movies, not watch the shit they put on the satellite. 

"Let's watch something apparently very interesting. The Hunger." 

"Sounds good." Igor had no idea what it was about. He thought it was just a regular horror movie. Igor got her usual popcorn prepared for her. They sat down on her black leather couch. He usually tried to stay further away from her.

This time she sat really close to him, as if trying to hug him with her breasts. Her breasts were resting tenderly on his right arm pressed against it, and her arm and his leg. 

Igor got pretty turned on. The movie didn't help. There was lots of sex between a vampire queen and human beings. Even a lesbian relationship. Maisie offered him popcorn and it got stuck on his tooth. He tried to get it off with his hand, but she pulled it away.

She then took the popcorn piece off herself and ate it. Igor blushed bright red and his pupils dilated. An indirect kiss, he thought. Igor loved the Mistress but didn't want them to get in trouble for anything, so he didn't do anything back.

They continued to watch the movie until it ended. Maisie nibbled his ear a bit during the ending credits. It was very erotic and Igor began to steam. Igor got up off the couch, and said "Thank you for this wonderful movie and the popcorn," Smiled, and said goodbye.

After the very tense and hot movie night, Igor began to decline Maisie's invitations to watch anymore movies. He fibbed and told her that her parents had asked him to do more work for them instead of Maisie.

To fill this time, and not get caught in a lie, he asked other servants to give him some of their extra duties they didn't want to do. Which included washing the tubs, doing laundry and even cleaning all of the big pots and pans after meals were made for the servants.

This was all to insure that he wasn't AS involved with the mistress and didn't do anything he would regret or get punished for to her. Nonetheless, Maisie still found ways to make Igor fall more in love with her. 

Igor knocked on his Mistress's door, to begin his regular routine with her. This time he came in and she was wearing a very sexy night gown. Igor turned beat red and put his gloved hand over his eyes. 

"Do you like it, Igor?" Maisie said in an erotic tone. 

"Yes, I do." Igor said while walking into her big closet. Maisie put her hand on Igor's right bicep while he was trying to find a nice blouse for her. His heart began to beat faster. 

"What a big strong man you are." Maisie smiled at him, stroking his arm. Igor's wings began to tingle, and he felt an electric current go through them. Igor wanted to sore into the sky for her and dance. 

"W-what would you like to wear Maisie?" 

"That black one you have in your hand. You know me best." She smiled again licking her lips. 

Igor moved onto the pants, And Maisie did too. Igor bent to get her pants and she grabbed his left tricep, and started stroking that too. 

"What sturdy legs." Igor got even more turned on and could barely stand it anymore. So he found her pants and walked to her bed. 

"I chose two pairs of pants for you. Which ones? The blue or the black?"

"The blue. It'll match nicely with that blouse."

Igor went into a separate closet to get her socks and shoes. He reached up high for the shoes on the top rack, which Maisie had previously disclosed to him that those were her favorite shoes to wear with socks.

Maisie began to rub Igor's upper back with BOTH hands. It felt very good, so he decided not to say anything about it and stalled on finding the shoes. He got her a pair of stripped black and white socks to wear with her shoes.

He put the set of clothing on her bed, and bowed.  Then, Maisie began to change WITHOUT Igor even leaving. This was almost the final straw for Igor so he ran out of her room as quickly as possible, and covered his hand to his face. He shut the door and said,

"If you need me I'll be downstairs waiting to serve you." He heard Maisie giggle. 

"Yeah." Hehehehe, she giggled in the background.

After the two come-ons to Igor, Maisie had begun to wonder if he even 'liked' her. This caused her to think things over, maybe he needed to know how she felt about him herself.

She thought it was quite obvious. Then she remembered that he was probably new to love or even a crush. All and all she decided she needed to confess, to maybe get through to him that she wanted to try and make a relationship work with him, even if it was forbidden, so she made a plan.

One morning, Igor awoke to a note, with a prettily written name on it. It was his own name of course, but in a nice purple shade in a beautiful calligraphic cursive style that made his 'I' look royal. The stationary used was gold leaf inscribed and shaded Dark red. The opening to the letter had a heart on it. Igor opened the letter. All it read was:

Igor,

'Meet me in the upstairs family room with the key.' 

M.L. 

He wasn't sure if this was Maisie or Mara asking him to meet him in a room that rarely if ever had visitors. He decided he needed to be fairly cautious about it.

Up the stairs, past all the rooms, and guest rooms, was a pretty deserted part of the Lennox mansion. That is where everything antique was placed and a few guest quarters where placed. Everyone knew that the Lennox's rarely had guests that actually slept over. So, whoever it was, had invited Igor to a room that no one ever went in, which had Igor suspicious. 

Igor opened up the room and sat and waited to find out who 'M.L.' was and what they wanted. Igor waited an hour. He didn't know when they'd come, but he hoped it was soon. In came someone wearing sunglasses and a scarf around their head.

She had the same height as Maisie, but Igor couldn't be sure, so he ran up to her and took off her sunglasses, then whipped off her scarf. It was Maisie and she smiled largely at him. 

"Well, well, you couldn't wait to see who it was, could you? You're a pretty curious guy, Igor." 

Igor frowned and stared at her. 

"I had been waiting a very long while, as you didn't even write a time to meet," He stared more. She frowned back at him. 

"I thought I had put the time as 8 o clock." Maisie looked a bit disappointed. Silly girl. Igor smiled. He finally saw an innocent weakness in the woman that he loved. 

"You're pretty forgetful you know that?" Igor smiled more and laughed. 

"I suppose I am." Maisie frowned a bit.

"Chin up though, I'm just your servant, and you don't need to worry about keeping time with me." Igor winked. 

"But, you're not just a servant to me." Maisie said lovingly. "You're MY servant."

Igor's ears stood up and his wings tingled, and his heart beat fast.

"What is it that you wanted to talk about, Mistress?" Igor tried to avoid following up to what had just been said to him. 

"I wanted to confess something to you." What Igor had feared to be a possible scenario had came true.

"Confess what?" He looked at her sternly. She walked up to him and gave him a large hug. Igor was shocked, wondering what she could possibly be telling him. 

"I LIKE YOU!" She planted a kiss on his lips. Igor's instinct was to kiss her back. Fireworks had exploded. Their chemistry created heated tension. He wanted to jump her, but, he pulled her away to try and confess something too. 

"I feel the same." He looked longingly into her eyes. "But, how could we possibly make this work in this world the way it is?"

"I don't know." Maisie stared at him in disappointment.

"We like each other, and live under the same roof, isn't that enough?" Igor pulled her chin up with one arm and held her hand with another. He smiled, and closed his eyes. He kissed her back.

"That was the last one, for now. Maybe one day we can be together, but let's not do anything we'll regret." Maisie looked heart broken and tears rolled down her face. 

"Let's be lovers without the sex. I can still be with you without doing anything." A challenge it was. Maisie stopped crying and smiled. 

"For you love, anything. Even if it'll be hard." Maisie embraced him more, putting her hands in his hair.

"Let's do this." Igor hugged her back and kissed her cheek. He then let go of her and told her, 

"I have to get to work now, dear."

With this, they finally found out their true feelings for one another, but the road ahead of them wasn't going to be easy.
