Chapter Nine

Lawson Estate

Ebony stood in her room staring at herself in the bright red dress and touched the necklace with shaking fingers. Her breasts were sitting high and completely covered by sheer material while the rest fit snugly against her curves. Turning she frowned at her overly rounded butt, why would he pick something out like this for me to wear.

"Because I wanted to," answered Jacob as he walked up behind her. Leaning forward he smelled her scent, Cherry blossoms, jasmine and fear. "You smell wonderful," he said as he stared at her reflection in the mirror.

"Thank you," murmured Ebony. She quickly looked toward the floor. Wincing when Jacob cupped her chin she hurriedly looked back at their reflections in the mirror.

"That's better," He said pouring his acid honey voice over her. "Make sure tonight you don't take your eyes off me."

Gulping she nodded, "What is this meeting about?"

Jacob smirked mysteriously, "Don't worry about it."

Performing Hikaru sokudo step with Ebony they arrived at a small building; It was either a person's home or some type of restaurant. Ebony felt the chills rushing up and down her spine as they walked into a dimly lit interior.

Turning toward Jacob his smile didn't comfort her; trembling she whispered, "Am I about to be hurt?"

Jacob cocked an eyebrow as he stared at her wickedly, You'll be fine as long as you keep your eyes on me."

Ebony stepped closer toward him as she saw all the Ah'Tarians in the dimly lit room. Ebony gazed around as she followed closely behind Jacob. Her lips curled in disbelief as she saw other people from various planets.

"Lord Jacob, we were expecting you and your companion." Said a handsome woman wearing a fitted purple leather pants and a matching corset. "Please follow me," she continued as she grabbed two menus and led them to a small room at the back of the dimly lit facility.

"Does this meet your requirements," Asked the lady huskily as she looked around the small room.

"Yes this is fine," Replied Jacob as he took in the low table, pillowed seats and curtained walls. "Is this observation room correct?"

Nodding the woman pointed to a curtain, "Yes you can watch the performance from the comfort and seclusion of this room."

Jacob smirked as he reached into his pocket and handed the lady a few royals, "Thank you."

The woman nodded and closed the door firmly behind her as she left.

Jacob closed the curtains and drawled sickeningly sweet, "Sit down and review the menu."

Ebony stared at the pillow and frowned, "I'm sorry, but I can't sit there because this dress is a little too tight."

Jacob stared at the figure hugging dress as he walked toward Ebony, "I apologize. I didn't consider it when I ordered it for you." Waving a hand the dress disappeared leaving her in a cream shift.

Ebony wanted to cover herself but instead walked over to the cushions thinking to herself, I've worn sundresses that have exposed more skin. Sitting down on the cushion Jacob was pointing at she waited for him to sit down next to her.

"Ebony, What if I told you that a few delegates and I would be eating off of you tonight?" Chuckling as her mind whirled he added. "No Lucas and Kaelen are not attending, and you will not be recognized." Holding his hand up a lace mask appeared, "When you put this on it will hide your identity with a small glamour."

"What if I say no that I don't want to do this," She asked quietly trying not to run out of the room screaming and terrified.

Jacob cocked his head as he stared at her, "But this is part of your duties as my assistant."

Ebony stared at him dumbfounded, "I don't understand how this could fall under my duties. You are suggesting to use me as a table."

Jacob smirked, "As a plate actually."

Ebony shuddered, as she stared into his merciless eyes, "What exactly would I need to do?"

waving a hand at the table he smiled coolly. "You will lay on the table," pausing his smile turned mocking, "Yes you will be naked. An array of food will be placed on your body with dipping sauces and you will remain still while we eat our meal."

Ebony could feel the room closing in on her as she stared at Jacob dumbfounded, "And then?"

"Ah," He smiles wickedly, "You want to know if they will do something to you."

Ebony sat on the cushion waiting for a reply to her unasked question but he seemed to be keeping the answer to himself. Trying not to cry she realized her options were to try to leave through the crowd of Ah'Tarians or do as Jacob wanted. Rising sickeningly she stood staring at the door.

"If you try to run out of here you know they will pounce on you, right?" Mocked Jacob as he leaned back against the wall. "Be a good girl and just lay down, they will be arriving shortly."

Ebony tried to hold back tears and started to gasp as the room seemed to be suffocating her. Undressing slowly and remained on her underwear she sat on the table, before slowly laying down. Closing her eyes she prayed to the goddess of mercy Jacob wouldn't tell her to look at him.

Jacob reached out with the mask and placed it over her eyes and face while smirking to himself. The laced mask served two purpose; To hide her identity and to hide the other people's identities. Waving a hand the remainder of her clothes disappeared and he stared at her body feeling himself hardened as she trembled on the table.

Jacob heard a knock on the door and he purred to Ebony, "Stop trembling or they will think you are being coerced and I will be very angry." Rising he opened the door, letting the servers in and watching while they laid succulent morsels of food on Ebony's body. when they had arranged the food artistically over her he smiled. Jacob sat back and admire their handiwork.

Leaning forward he whispered into her ear, "You look delicious."

Ebony laid there as still as possible not wanting to upset Jacob by spilling the warm dipping sauce that was ladled on her navel. She stared into his eyes and understood now why he'd said it so many times as she was pulled into the cyclone of his gaze.

Jacob smirked, "They are here. Be on your best behavior as these are semi-important delegates from the Alliance and this is a galaxy renowned brothel."

Ebony didn't move as she laid there hoping this day would end quickly and that if she did well he'd allow her not to perform his wake-up call.

Jacob leaned in as he listened to her thoughts, "Yes I still expect my morning wake up call. And yes I expect it to be better than this morning."

As she laid there she listened to several men that walked into the room.

"Oh Lord Jacob you have out done yourself with this meal," Said one of the men.

Jacob winked at him with a knowing smile, "You think?"

The man sat down and laughed, "I do."

The other man commented on the array of food as they sat and started to expose her nude body by removing the food and dipping it into the sauce.

Jacob leaned in toward her and whispered, They were one cup short so I'll drink from your mouth. "Open up," When her mouth opened up obediently he poured a small amount of wine in. Placing the bottle back on the table his mouth covered hers in a deep kiss as he drank the wine from her mouth. "Don't drink my wine," He whispered as he poured more into her mouth to drink.

Ebony laid still as Jacob's finger brush over her flesh like he was trying to get her to move. Oh, goddess! Is he trying to make me move, so he can hurt me, thought Ebony as his fingers once again brushed across her. Staring into his eyes, he knew exactly where he was touching; She was able to ignore all the other men's fingers fumbling over her body, but his gentle touch seemed to be trying to punish her.

"Lord Jacob this is truly a meal fit for a king," Said one of the men as he ran his hand playfully over her tightly closed thighs. "I heard that dipping sauce could be placed down here as well," He said as he licked his lips greedily.

Jacob stared at the hand trying to pry itself between Ebony's thighs and arched an eyebrow, "If you like I can have another plate brought in for you to dip down there."

Lemont Jingles licked his lips as he imagined dipping his food in the juices of a woman. "Can we have dessert like that?"

Ebony's heart was lurching as she stared at Jacob hoping he wasn't going to allow them to use her for such a thing. Staring pleadingly into his eyes she held her breath knowing he had a cruel streak a galaxy wide.

Jacob smirked, "Sure, but you will have to pay the bill for that."

Lemont pouted as he brought the menu to his face, "Twenty three royals!" Shaking his head he flushed muttering, I don't believe there's any desert worth the average worker's weekly salary."

Jacob nodded, "I agree with you." Leaning down toward Ebony he whispered into her ear, "Open." Pouring more wine into her mouth he quickly drank it licking away droplets that slid down her chin. He frowned slightly when he felt his teeth elongate and shifted uncomfortably as he felt himself swell to an uncomfortable size.

 Looking at the men around the table he smiled, "Since we are done eating shall we discuss the far wage act or watch the entertainment." As everyone turned toward the curtain indicating they wanted to watch the entertainment he waved a hand that opened the curtains.

Ebony continued to stare at Jacob trying to block everything else out including the moans and groans coming from the curtain he'd just opened. Letting her mind wonder she felt the bottle of wine come to her mouth and opened so that he could drink more wine. Sighing when he was done she felt him place something over her body but remained still.

"Do you want to watch the show," Whispered Jacob into her ear as she laid with glazed eyes staring at him. He knew she was trying to block this out, and he refused to let her.

Jacob watched as she shook her head No and smiled, "I need to stop forming things into a question. It makes you believe you have an opinion." Cupping her cheeks he turned her head toward the two-way mirror.

Ebony stared at the man and woman on the bed and frowned as she watched the woman settle herself comfortably between the man's legs. The woman was smiling while she gently rubbed the man's member and placed wet kisses on the tip before lapping at it. After a while she started to take it into her mouth.

Turning back to Jacob she stared at him not wanting to watch anymore. She learned several things from what she saw: Get comfortable, don't grip it too tight and not spit on it.

Jacob laughed as he stared at Ebony as she came to her conclusions. Looking to see if they were being watched he leaned forward and brushed his lips across hers, "If you do a good job I'll reward you tomorrow."

Ebony stared into his swirling eyes and nodded as she decided she needed to turn back and pick up any pointers she could. When she looked again the lady was kneeling over the man, holding his erection as she lowered herself down onto it. Curious she continued to watch as the lady bounced herself up and down on him moaning and rubbing his chest as she went.

Frowning Ebony turned to look back at Jacob to see he was staring down at his hand held and not watching the performance with the other men who were engrossed with it. When he looked up he smirked at her before pressing buttons on the device.

After an hour of listening to moans, sighs and grunts the curtains closed, and the men turned back toward the table.

"So I understand we are here to discuss the fair wages on Aisu and Ollyum," Said one of the men.

"What do you believe is a fair wage, Lord Jacob."

Jacob stared at him in deep thought, Lucas and I thought a fair wage would be thirty royals a week."

The delegate from Ollyum stared incredulously at him, "The current average wage on Ollyum is twenty-one royals. Where exactly are we to come up with the remainder?"

Jacob cocked an eyebrow, "Maybe you should stop overpaying yourselves and your family members and think of the people that rely on the royals from the Alliance crofters."

The delegates flushed and responded indignantly, "My staff is compensated at a fair rate!"

Jacob rolled his eyes, When was eighty royals for a part-time coffee fetcher a fair split in wages." When the man wanted to protest Jacob shook his head," You need to fix this and make it happen or Lucas, Kaelen or I will make it happen without you."

The man flushed and nodded as he realized that Jacob was talking about removing him permanently from his post. "It will go into effect tomorrow," He mumbled.

"Also, you have until 08:00 to fire every unqualified person on your staff and to fix the remaining wages to the Alliance standard. Also don't attempt to send us false wage reports again, or you're dead," Commented Jacob as if he were having a conversation about tea and not killing the man. "Now," settling into the cushion Jacob stared at the other four delegates, "Is there anyone else that has something to say about the fair wages for Ollyum or Aisu?"

Everyone shook their heads as they pulled out their handheld devices to make sure the wages increased for everyone making less than thirty royals.

Jacob nodded as he rose, Then gentleman it's been fun." With a blink he and Ebony were once again standing inside her room.

Ebony stared down at the dress Wondering why he'd even gotten it for her.

I like the way you looked in it," He replied as he walked up to her, Now it's time for my goodnight kiss."

Ebony nodded as she pressed her hand against his chest and kissed him on the lips. She tried to mimic what he did when he was drinking the wine from her mouth, but he stepped back and gave her a smile that made her blood run cold.

"You are getting better," He said before turning and leaving her room. As the door closed she heard him call, "Wake me tomorrow morning at 08:00."

Jacob walked into his shower Wondering why her blood was calling to him all evening. It took everything in him to leave her room and not try to drink her dry. He stepped into the shower as he firmly decided he'd discuss It with Lucas tomorrow.
