Preparing for new duties

Gob stood naked in Rose’s workroom while Rose took measurements of his body with a tape measure. She reached around his back to pass the tape around his body and pressed herself against him. Gob smiled to himself as he made his penis rise and press against her. She gave him a stern look and wrote down the measurement. When she turned back to him, she looked at his cock and sighed. She took it in her slender hands and caressed it lovingly. “You’ve already distracted me twice. I have other things I need to do, you know.”

“Sorry, I’m just teasing you. You don’t have to,” said Gob.

“I don’t think I have the strength to resist you. You have become so strong. Your power is quite intoxicating to me. I just have so much to do.”

“I’ll make it go down,” he said and he could feel it softening in her hands. He looked at her. “You seem disappointed.”

“Of course I’m disappointed. You’ve already taken me twice and I still want more when I see it like that but… Thank you. I hate to neglect my duties.”

“You are becoming quite expressive these days.” Gob pointed out.

“It’s this mammalian body. It has all sorts of feelings. They keep creeping out,” said Rose before going back to measuring him. “How are you finding your new lodgings?”

“Fine, they are obscenely opulent.”

Rose looked at him. “You don’t sound particularly excited.”

“You know, when I was still small, one of the maids bullied me into cleaning up a massive pile of vomit in one of those rooms. Some ambassadors had gotten way too drunk. Now that is my carpet. I know it’s not official yet but I am now one of the highest-ranked officials in the empire. It doesn’t seem real.”

“Should I start calling you sir?”

“Please don’t.”

Rose kept working but she had a little smile on her face. “What’s up with you?” Gob asked her.

“Nothing. I was just thinking that she made a great choice, in promoting you I mean.”

“What makes you say that?” Gob asked.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. The controversy will be huge. It will be about the most unpopular thing she has ever done but it will be good for her to have someone like you close to her. Someone who knows what it is like to not have power. How are your girls finding it?”

“What girls? I’m on my own right now. Bliss prefers her cell, you can’t drag April away from her workshop for long and Tallie is being a nightmare.”

Rose grimaced at the mention of Tallie’s name. “What is up with her?”

“She has my children to look after. Not long and they will be old enough to let Bliss look after them but for right now she is stuck in my old place.”

“Children? How interesting,” said Rose, her hand going to her womb.

Gob raised an eyebrow. “Is that something you would be interested in? Having my children?”

She snatched her hand away and busied herself with her notes. “No, I have too many responsibilities.”

Gob could feel waves of desire coming off her as she fantasises about bearing children for him but he left them unregarded. “Anyway, she is **** to move up to the new rooms. You should really try forgiving her, Leaf has.”

“Huh, it is so strange to hear her magnificence referred to so casually.”

“Sorry, I know you treat her with reverence,” apologise Gob.

“No, she wants you to refer to her like that, especially among those of us who are close to her. I will try to let my distaste for that girl subside a little but it will take time.”

“Thank you. Has she been bringing you prey? I told her to take the boys hunting for you.”

“Yes, thank you but I must say, ever since that incident in the town, I have had an urge for larger prey.” She paused and gob could sense a different kind of lust in her, blood lust. “I know that is not practical so I am grateful for whatever you can bring me.”

“If I can think of a way to help I will.”

She turned to him and smiled. It was not a creepy smile anymore, she had mastered this simple emotion. “It is not necessary but you are sweet for thinking of me.” She put down the pencil she was using to make notes. “I am done. By tomorrow you will have some clothes befitting your new status. I plan to use my own silk. Only one other person has the honour of wearing what I produce. There is no fabric finer, grander or more resilient. It pleases me to know you will be embraced with my thread.”

Gob stepped forward and pulled Rose to him. She tilted her head up to his and he kissed her red lips. “Thank you for giving me such an honour,” he said in her ear before letting her go.

She was charmingly flustered. Most people might not have noticed it but gob could see it in the uncertainty of her motions. “Yes, well, you better shoo,” she said, throwing his clothes at him. “If you stay any longer I am not sure I’ll get anything done and I need to have these finished for the announcement tomorrow.”

Gob grinned at her as he put his clothes on and watched her willfully ignore him. He got dressed and made his way out. He ran his hand over her delicate shoulders as he went and felt her shiver. She turned and glared at him but it lacked the ferocity that she was so capable of. As he closed the door the ghostly apparition of her spider body was beginning to spin thread while wielding scissors and needles.

He spent some time with his children educating them. He was proud of them but he really felt no paternal feelings. He found himself wondering if that was how things had been in the past, an alpha goblin doing the breeding and treating his children like minions. He wasn’t convinced as he really had no evidence but he did find that the thought of sending his sons off to die in battle didn’t bother him. He shrugged. That was just how it was. He would raise them and send them out into the world again. That felt right. He just needed to make sure that they had the wits to not give in to their baser instincts. He wanted strong sons and to do that they needed to get people to submit to them but they had to be clever about it or they wouldn’t live long. Partners could be convinced instead of ****, especially with the pleasure goblin cock could provide and the alluring powers of goblin cum.

He spent some time with Tallie which mostly involved fucking. He had wanted to catch up with Bliss as she had planned to resign today. Leaf had said that she would keep an eye on her in case Karus decided to take offence and do something sinister. She had not turned up and he began to worry. As he sat there thinking of her he found an image popping into his brain. Bliss was in the bath along with several other women. They were drinking and laughing. He knew that this was happening right now and he let the pleasant vision fade, happy in the knowledge that she was fine. It was an unusual thing to happen and he decided he would bring it up with Leaf who he was planning on having dinner with shortly.

“Thank you,” said Leaf to the maid who delivered their dinner in Gob’s apartment. “If we need anything else, I will let you know. You are dismissed.”

The cute demon kin maid curtseyed and left. “Did you see the look on her face?” said Gob. “You do realise that rumours are about to go crazy?”

Leaf shrugged and then smiled at him. “They were going to start anyway as soon as I announce you as my agent and then it will be the nobility gossiping. If you think the maids are bad, they put the maids to shame.”

“Doesn’t it bother you?”

“Does it bother you?” Leaf asked.

Gob thought for a moment. “A little. I’m not fond of people telling tales.”

“But surely anything they can make up isn’t going to be far from the truth. I am sleeping with you.”

Gob looked at her quizzically. She seemed to be taking a small delight in this situation. “I just find it surprising that it doesn't bother you. Doesn't it potentially undermine your authority?”

“People have had their doubts about me since I was born. I have often heard rumours about me. The ones from the maids were pretty harmless. The ones from the nobility varied from ridiculous to deviant. At least this time there will be some truth to it.” She took a bite of the food on her plate and hummed in pleasure at the taste of it. “Out of all the things that bother me, people talking about me isn’t one of them. I have enough faith in my own strength to quell any true dissent.” She took another bite of food and a sip of wine, all the while enjoying what she was tasting. “We still have a lot to sort out, you know?”

“Like the announcement?” Gob asked.

“That’s one but honestly it’s not that complicated. There will be a meeting of the palace council. That’s the Lord Commander of the guards, Garus, naturally, the keeper of the purse, Rose and a few of the higher nobles all of whom have ridiculous titles that you don’t need to worry about. I will introduce you as my agent and bestow the seal of office on you which will allow you to act in my name. From there it will be a lot of talking and me having to justify my decision only to end up telling them that they have to lump it because I’m the Maou, so there. It’s annoying but you have to at least let them think they have a voice.

“I plan on one thing. I want you sitting next to the Keeper of the Purse, Lady Impertinence. Don’t smirk, that’s her name. There was a trend for a while of naming your children after negative traits. It was before my time and Impertinence is older than I am and has been the purse keeper since I was a child. Demon society may be a little misogynistic but it does respect power or talent. I have power and Impertinence has talent. She is incredible with numbers. She’s a haughty and proud woman; sharp features and a very big bust. Actually, they might not be that big but she always wears basque tops which push them up so they are very obvious.”

“Let me see if you can work out why you want me next to her,” said Gob. “Do you want me to seduce her?”

“You can if you like but frankly, sitting next to you is enough.”

“What does that mean?” asked Gob, smiling.

“Gob, I have to constantly suppress the aphrodisiac-like powers you have. Just your smell is enough to work up most women. You must have noticed.”

“The only women I am around are the maids.”

“You realise that they all want to sleep with you, don’t you?

“Sure but I have had sex with enough that I assumed that stories were getting around about me and I know a lot of them like my new body.”

“It is so much more than that. Women are drawn to you now. I’m afraid it got worse after our last time together. Why don’t you sleep with more of the maids? I thought you lusted after most of them.”

“I did, I do,” said Gob. “I suppose I am just being careful. I have to live and work with them, I wouldn’t want things to make life difficult. What?” he asked when he noticed Leaf was smiling at him.

“I was just thinking what a good choice you were to be my agent. Beyond the fact that I want easier access to you.”

“That’s funny, Rose said something similar.”

“She’s a clever spider. Anyway, let’s talk about something more fun. Who are you going to have on your staff?”

“Staff? Why do I need staff?”

“Because you are now a high-ranking official. I’m afraid a big part of your job is going to be looking the part and a man of your status would have a staff.”

“I have Tallie and Bliss, would they do?” Gob asked.

Leaf frowned in thought. “Hmm, not really. Tallie is a **** so it wouldn’t be appropriate to give her a position of status. Bliss is too but it’s not known she is. The problem is that she has given in to her kinks a little too much. I don’t think she wants the status. She wants to be your lowest ****. I’m sure she would do it for you but I don’t think it’s necessary. Don’t you fancy some of the maids?”

“That’s an option?”

“Sure. It would annoy Rose but she’ll forgive us. It’s not like I’m as bothered about stealing the maids away to my chambers anymore.”

“What staff do I need?”

“Definitely a secretary. Once you have status, people will be contacting you all the time so you will need someone to handle that. A personal maid would be nice. Keep everything tidy and organised in your quarters. There’s all sorts of jobs you can make up.”

“Are the maids trained for work like that?”

“You have to realise that being a maid in my palace is akin to being my concubine. It’s a high-status position. Most of the maids come from high-ranking families. They nearly all have expensive educations. I’m sure most of them could handle what you have to throw at them.”

Gob picked at his food and thought. All the maids were attractive and he was sure that any he asked for would end up on his cock at some point even if he didn’t try. He didn’t want to just pick out the ones he thought were prettiest. There were some pretty toxic personalities amongst the maids and if they ended up being hard work then he would have to get rid of them and mess everybody around. There were some maids he knew he got on with. “How about your three friends? Do you think they would be interested?”

Leaf’s face cracked into a broad grin. “I hoped you’d say that.” She bounced a bit, excited that he had chosen who she wanted him to choose. “Okay, do you mind if I tell you what they would be good for?”

Gob was amused at how happy she was and how she let it show when it was just the two of them. “Sure, why not.”

“Great. Cilla should be your secretary. She’s smart and can be fierce which will stop people from messing you around. Being half-dragon also gives her status beyond being demon kin. The dragons are only second to the true demons in terms of power and her heredity shows clearly on her. It will make people respect her more.

Flare can handle your social affairs. Let’s call her a personal assistant. Her mother was something of a celebrity: a singer and a great beauty. Flare very much looks like her mother. You know how attractive people find her. Having her with you at social occasions will be a great boon. At other times she can run errands for you.

Erryn, well, she comes from a ruling family of minotaurs but minotaurs aren’t known for their formal education. I’m not saying she’s dumb but she won’t be much good behind a desk. Thankfully, she looks great in her maid's uniform and you could use someone around to clean up after you. Just don’t make her feel less valued than the others.”

“I wouldn’t, “said Gob.

“I know,” said Leaf, putting her hand on his. “I just needed to say it. Well, what do you think?”

“I think you have spent time thinking about this,” said Gob, giving her a knowing look.

“I just thought they were a good choice. It also means I might see them more,” she added quietly.

“I think they are perfect,” said Gob, kissing her hand. “How about we finish dinner and retire for the night?”

Leaf blushed. “I was just thinking that.”

“I know, you weren’t holding it back very well.”

“Really? I thought I was,” she said, looking genuinely curious. She shook it off. “Come on, I can summon us something afterwards,” she said, standing up and holding her hand out to Gob who threw down his napkin and followed her.
