40: Setting things Straight

Mark gingerly rubbed his sore bottom as he picked up Luke's call. Twisting his waist around in the mirror, he tried to examine and soothe his sore butt as held on to the phone with his other hand.

"Hi babe,..." Luke's voice came through, his eyes widening as he took in the unexpected view of Mia in the mirror, wearing sexy red fishnet stockings and a garter belt.

Her red ass cheeks looked ripe and plump. He could feel his dick already starting to get hard.

But it seemed the lingerie wasn't the only surprise. His new girlfriend had her hair cut short but it only seemed to make him appreciate her pretty face even more. He felt Mia somehow looked more stacked and prettier than when they had met just two days ago.

Seeing her breasts freely shift and jiggle as she twisted her waist around made him gulp.

'Fuck, she's hot.'

"Wow, you look amazing!"

"What?" It was only then Mark realised it was a video call. "Wait, sorry, god, how do I turn this thing off?" Mark fumbled with his phone, trying desperately to stop the video before Luke saw anything more.

As he was fidgeting with his phone to turn it off, the door to his room swung open.

"Mia, are you free now? I wanted to talk to you about..," Alice entered the room, only to stop short in surprise at the sight of her new sister dressed as she was.

"Mia, who was that?" Luke asked unable to see where the voice came from.

"Are you giving a private show for your boyfriend?" Alice smirked knowingly as she strolled over, taking a seat on the bed.

Embarrassed, Mark immediately tried to cover his dick with one hand, while he used the other to cover his breasts, unknowingly giving Luke a close-up of his hard nipple as his breast rested over the phone screen.

"What are you doing here? Get out now!"

"Is that really how you should be talking to me now?" Alice arched an eyebrow, unfazed by Mark's high-pitched order.

"Urghhh!!!" Mark hastily put the phone down on the table and scrambled to the wardrobe, searching frantically to find something modest to cover himself up with.

Seizing the opportunity, Alice picked up the phone with a mischievous grin. "Hi, I am Mia's elder sister, Alice. Are you perhaps her boyfriend?" Alice jested, not expecting the two to be in a relationship.

Luke chuckled nervously, caught off guard by Alice's directness. "Um, hi, nice to meet you, Alice. Yes, I am dating Mia."

Mark froze in the middle of pulling out clothes from the wardrobe, his mind reeling from overhearing Luke's introduction. 'What? Dating? It was just a stupid drunken mistake.'

Alice wasn't done yet. "Really? So, Luke, spill the beans. How did you two meet?"

Luke hesitated briefly before launching into the story of how Mia had tripped and scraped her knee after theatre class one day, and how he had escorted her to the infirmary.

Alice's grin widened, clearly enjoying the exchange. "That's so sweet how you. And how is she in class? Is she causing anyone any trouble?"

Luke's smile grew fond as he replied, "Mia's really passionate about theatre. And No. In fact, I think the other girls in class had initially given a tough time for her, but I think they've patched things up now."

"Really now? 'Mia' seems full of surprises..."

Alice continued her playful interrogation. "And how is Mia outside of class? Any other hidden talents or quirks -?"

Mark's face flushed deep red in embarrassment. Quickly putting on a pair of panties and a random oversized shirt, Mark launched himself over Alice, trying to get the phone away from her. "What are you even asking? How can you even ask that?!"

"What do you mean how can I ask -?"

Alice's teasing halted abruptly as she caught sight of the hickey on the side of his neck.

Seeing Mark's face flushed red made her recall all the hickies she saw on his back as well "Ah, I was just curious about what you did outside of class, like sports and hobbies. But, What did you think I was asking about?"

"What? No, I-I was thinking the same thing." Mark stumbled over his words, his cheeks burning hot. "Why did you have to phrase it like that?! Anyway, give me back my phone." Mark lunged for the phone but Alice easily sidestepped him, giving Luke an unintentional close-up of his breasts under the shirt collar.

Luke chuckled softly, warming up to Alice's teasing. "Well, Mia has this way of brightening up any room she walks into. She may seem shy and innocent at first but she has a naughty side too."

"Luke, stop!!"

Alice, seeing an opportunity to tease Mark further set the phone aside on the bed and moved behind him, playfully locking his arms and torso while slipping her free hand under his shirt to cup his breasts and tickle.

Mark squirmed and squealed trying to escape from Alice's playful torment.

"I bet you really love her breasts, don't you, Luke?"

"Stop both of you!! Please!!!! He can see everything!! Stop!!"

"He is your boyfriend anyway, right? What's the harm?"

"Stop!! No!! He is not my boyfriend!!!" Mark's voice cracked with frustration and embarrassment, finally stopping Alice's tickling. "He is not my boyfriend..."

"Luke, I am sorry. I don't know what happened that day. I was too drunk and- and... It was a mistake, I am sorry."

"... A mistake? I thought you liked me?"

Seeing Luke's hurt expression made it hard to answer. "... Not in that way..."

"I see..."

"... "

"Guess I'll leave now. We'll talk maybe some other time when you are alone."

"Wait, Luke-"

"Bye"

—Call Ended —

The call ended abruptly leaving Mark a feeling of relief and guilt.

"Well, that was disappointing." Alice got up from the bed, sighing.

"You should not play around with people's feelings like that, little sis," Alice advised getting ready to leave. "Oh and before I forget, Mom wants to go out together tomorrow afternoon. So, try to get your work done early."

"Fine..."

As Alice left the room, Mark slowly undressed and sank into the tub, trying to calm his nerves. Somehow he was not able to get the memory of Luke looking upset off his mind.

The next morning dawned with a heaviness Mark couldn't shake.

"Rise and shine, little miss! Looks like you are late today as well." Lily's excited voice pierced through his slumber. "Guess we'll be having lots of fun today as well!"

Mark winced as Lily administered a round of spankings without any warning, making sure he got out of bed and into his maid uniform as quickly as possible.

Instead of wearing the thong, Mark decided to wear a black lace French cut panties and matching lingerie set he found in the wardrobe to soothe his still sore bottom.

Joining the other maids, he quickly helped them set the table for breakfast as Agatha, Alice and Evan shortly joined them.

Mark continued to mechanically copy the household staff through their routine.

As he was to become Alice's personal maid, the task of setting the breakfast table for Alice fell on him. His hands shook as he tried to focus on the delicate arrangement of the plates and cutlery as Eliza watched his every action with scrutiny.

Just as the family settled down for breakfast, a maid entered the dining hall with an announcement, interrupting the quiet atmosphere. "Madam, a guest has arrived to meet with Miss Mia."

Agatha looked up with mild surprise. "Receive them inside and let them know Mia will join them shortly after breakfast. Who is it, by the way?"

The maid hesitated, unsure how to continue. "He says he is from Miss's university. His name is—"

Mark's heart skipped a beat. Without waiting to hear more, he abruptly left the dining hall, his steps quickening as he made his way towards the main entrance.

'That idiot. Did you really come here to meet me?'

He knew Luke was very sincere and caring. After all, he was one of the first few friends he made who genuinely cared and wanted to help him when he was at his lowest.

'Still that idiot. When he said he wanted to talk later privately, did he have to come all the way over here and that too the next day itself? Anyway, I have to keep him out of Alice and the maid's sights before they cause any trouble.'

On reaching the door, Mark swung the door open with all his strength. "Luke? Why did you- Derrick?"
