Visiting Gob

Gob had just gone on his night shift. He was enjoying the peace and quiet of them. He didn’t need to sleep much these days and enjoyed using the overnight spell to nap and think on his own. Occasionally he would bring Tallie up to keep him company and give her some one-on-one time but she was starting to show her pregnancy so she had to stay below. Other times April would join him and while they often ended up having sex of some kind, April wasn’t as demanding as the others and they would spend the rest of the time making plans.

April had identified that the kitchen being the only entrance was a vulnerability as anyone visiting had to come that way. She theorised that there may be times when Gob wanted to bring other people in who had less excuse to go through the kitchen and April and Bliss’ comings and goings were already hot gossip. She had proposed finding another way in via one of the closed trapdoors. Gob was trying to make her a map of where the trapdoors related to the rooms of the palace. She had provided him with a compass to help him navigate and a wheel on a stick that clicked every rotation to measure distances.

Gob was thinking that tonight would be a good opportunity to explore some of the locations but before he could go he heard footsteps followed by the door to the kitchen tentatively opening. Brown hair and a maid cap slowly crept around the door followed by a curious pretty face. When Leaf saw Gob she smiled, came in and gave a little wave. “Hi, I thought I’d come and visit. You don’t mind, do you?”

Gob smiled back at her. She was so different from the Maou that it was hard to think of them as the same person. “Hi, Leaf. Come on in and sit by the fire.”

Leaf walked in and warmed her hands by the fire for a moment. “You know, before, the fire never really felt like anything. I was so invulnerable that I didn’t get hot or cold. I quite like getting chilly now as I get to do this or have a hot bath.”

“Would you like a drink, something to eat maybe? There are plenty of leftovers,” Gob offered.

Leaf looked sheepish. “Is there any chance I could have one of my coffees I don’t suppose Graff has done any baking recently?”

“That’s very bold of you to ask,” teased Gob.

“You don’t have to if it’s not appropriate. I don’t want you to get in trouble.”

“Who would I get in trouble with exactly? The Maou?” Gob laughed.

Leaf looked embarrassed but she was smiling. “Yes, I suppose that’s true.”

“Here,” said Gob, offering her a plate with a puffed-up pastry on it.

Leaf’s eyes lit up and she eagerly took the plate. The pastry crunched as she bit into it and she let out a satisfied moan as she chewed. “It’s so good. It tastes even better in this body.”

“Probably because it’s bad for you,” said Gob.

“Bad for you? How can it be bad for you?”

“Too much fat and sugar. For a mortal race like humans, it can be bad for them. Makes them fat, so I hear.”

Leaf looked sternly at the pastry then shrugged and bit into it again. “Graff’s pastries are worth dying for.”

Gob took the kettle off the stove and poured the water onto the coffee grounds he had just prepared. “How are you doing? Is everyone being nice?”

“Yes, well, most of them,” said Leaf through a mouthful. She swallowed and said “There are a few who just seem determined not to like me but I can avoid them. The work took some getting used to but I am getting the knack of it.”

Gob passed her a seeming cup of coffee. Just as she was about to take a sip he said, “Careful, it's hot.” Leaf jumped slightly and blew on the cup instead of sipping. She gave Gob a thankful smile. “What about friends?” Gob asked.

“I’m getting on with most of them. Oh, there is one who I’ve got really close to.”

“Really? Who is that?”

“She’s called Pip. She’s a slime girl and my roommate.”

“Pip? She has a bit of a reputation. The other maids aren’t very keen on her.”

“I know,” said Leaf, crossly. “Just because she eats dead skin and the stuff in the drains.”

“I think it had more to do with her lack of personal space. Several of them found parts of her trying to creep inside them when they got too close.” A sudden thought hit Gob. “She hasn’t done anything to you has she?”

“I mean, she has but it’s not like I mind,” Leaf blushed.

Gob sensed a little wave of arousal from Leaf. He could tell that she enjoyed Pip’s attentions. “I see. No longer the Maou but still sleeping with the maids.” He gave her an exaggerated look of disapproval and Leaf burst out laughing.

“Old habits die hard I suppose.”

“Had you had sex as a woman before?” Gob asked. Any sense of dread he had about the Maou was gone. He felt as though he were talking to an equal.

“No, I’d never dared. My image is all about strength and I always worried that it would not show the proper strength letting someone do things like that to me. I was worried.”

“Worried about what?”

“That I might like it,” Leaf confessed, “and then rumours would get out and cause all sorts of trouble.”

“And did you like it?” Gob asked with a smile. He already knew the answer. He could sense it in her.

Leaf blushed again and nodded. “Pip really likes the taste of my lady parts. She says it’s like a delicious treat for her. It’s why she had trouble holding back around the other maids. Still, it’s not like I’ve actually been with a man.”

“Do you want to?” Leaf looked shocked and Gob realised that it sounded like a proposition. He wouldn’t have said no. Leaf was very pretty and he couldn’t deny that he liked her but he hadn’t meant to be suggestive and he didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable. “I mean at some point,” he added in a fluster. “You know, try having sex with a guy?”

“Oh,” said Leaf, laughing at the tension. “I don’t know. A part of me thinks that it would be a waste to not try it while I’m like this.”

“Just be careful who you choose. It’s the demon lands after all. You don’t know what it’s like to be powerless, especially outside the palace.”

Leaf finished her coffee, got up and put the cup on the counter. She walked up to Gob and kissed him sweetly on his cheek. “Thank you Gob,” she said with a sparkling smile. “I’m going back to my room. It’s bath time for Pip and me.”

Gob understood what that implied. “Have fun,” he said with a wink.

“I will, and no peeking. As strong as you are now I bet Pip could drown you.”

“I hadn’t even considered it before you mentioned it. Now I really want to.”

“I mean it,” she said sternly.

“Yes, boss.”

Leaf shook her head. “Not boss, I’m your sweet innocent junior. Can I come and see you again sometime?”

“Whenever you like.”

Leaf seemed pleased by that. “Good night, Gob,” she said and walked out.

Gob watched her long slim legs as she left. They were clad in the same white stockings that all the other maids wore. Somehow it made them all the more appealing. Leaf looked just like all the women he had grown up lusting after. He shook his head. That was not just a maid. He had to remind himself of that.
