Her New Master: Part 1. Her New Master, #1

Georgia, 1906. Samuel Whitfield is gone. The farm does not care. Nineteen-year-old Eli is suddenly head of the household: a leaking barn, a lame mule, a grieving mother, a younger sister, and three people who still call him sir. The only person who seems to know how the house actually runs is Della, the woman who has cooked in that kitchen since he was five. Della is forty-seven, unhurried, and impossible not to look at.
She has always seen the way Eli watches her. After dark, when the upstairs doors are shut, she decides he is finished pretending. What begins as a bath and a duty becomes an education. Della does not treat desire like a secret. She treats it like work she is proud of-and she intends to keep the new master of Whitfield Farm from breaking the same way the last one did. A standalone historical erotic short story and the opening of the Whitfield Farm series.
