I slowly opened my eyes feeling strangely warm and comfortable.
For a moment, I just laid there staring blankly at the ceiling.
Then suddenly—
Every single memory from last night came crashing back into my head.
My eyes widened instantly.
OH MY GOD.
My face burned so fast that I immediately grabbed the blanket and covered myself completely.
No no no no no.
This couldn't be real.
I seriously did that to him??!! I Looked at my once innocent hands..
Every embarrassing moment replayed in my head mercilessly.
The way my hands trembled, i even told him my embarrassing story.
The way he kept staring at me with those dangerous grey eyes.
The sounds he made whenever I touched him.
And worst of all...
The way I actually kept going despite wanting to die from embarrassment.
I rolled around silently under the blanket wanting the bed to swallow me whole.
HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO FACE HIM NOW??
Then suddenly—
I froze.
Why did the other side of the bed still feel warm?
Slowly...
Very slowly...
I lowered the blanket from my face.
And nearly screamed.
The Master was laying beside me.
Wide awake.
Grey almond eyes silently watching me embarrass myself.
"..."
"..."
OH MY GOD.
HE SAW ALL THAT.
Without thinking, I quickly buried my face back into the blanket again.
Please let me die peacefully.
A low chuckle came from beside me.
HE WAS LAUGHING.
My embarrassment doubled instantly.
"Were you planning to hide there forever?" His deep sleepy voice asked lazily.
Why did his voice sound even hotter in the morning??
I slowly peeked out from the blanket only for my eyes to accidentally land on his bare chest.
Big mistake.
My face somehow became even hotter.
His black hair was messy from sleep and one of his arms rested beneath his head while he calmly watched me struggle internally.
Meanwhile I was fighting for my life.
"I..." I quickly looked away. "I am sorry..."
"For what?" He asked calmly.
FOR RUINING MY INNOCENCE LAST NIGHT.
My fingers tightened around the blanket nervously.
"I..." My voice became smaller. "About yesterday..."
Just remembering it made my stomach twist in embarrassment.
The way his breathing changed beneath my hands.
The way he kept calling my name softly.
The way I completely lost my mind.
And then...
The kiss.
My first kiss.
My face burned even harder.
Suddenly, I felt the bed move slightly.
My heart skipped nervously as he leaned closer.
One of his fingers gently lifted my chin forcing me to look at him.
"The part where you kept your pretty little hands busy?" He asked calmly.
OH MY GOD.
Every single memory from last night attacked me at once.
The way he sounded.
The way his body reacted beneath my hands.
The way I panicked every few seconds while he watched me so carefully.
I wanted to disappear.
"AHHH STOP TALKING!!" I cried out in embarrassment quickly covering my burning face.
A low laugh escaped his lips.
HE WAS ENJOYING THIS.
I pointed at him accusingly while avoiding eye contact.
"You are not allowed to bring it up ever again!"
One of his brows lifted slightly.
"Is that so?"
WHY DID HE LOOK EVEN HOTTER WHEN HE WAS TEASING ME??
I quickly jumped off the bed before my poor heart exploded.
"I-I need to freshen up!" I blurted out randomly.
Then without waiting for his response—
I ran.
Actually ran.
Straight into the bathroom.
SLAM.
I locked the door quickly and leaned against it breathing heavily.
"..."
"..."
Then slowly, I slid down onto the floor and buried my burning face into my knees.
What was wrong with meeeeee??!!
Why did I actually do that to him last night??
And worst of all...
Why did remembering his reactions make my heart beat even faster??
I took my time bathing partly because I wanted to calm my burning face down and partly because I was too embarrassed to step out and face him again after the nonsense my mouth had said earlier.
"You are not allowed to bring it up ever again!"
Gosh.
Why did I talk to him like that??
He was still technically my master.
A very dangerous one at that.
I buried half my face under the warm water.
Now I actually had something real to apologise for.
When I finally stepped out of the bathroom, wiping my wet hair with a towel, I froze.
The room was empty.
"Huh...?"
I looked around confused.
The bed was already arranged properly and there was no sign of him anymore.
Did he leave because I ran away like an idiot earlier??
My chest strangely felt a little empty.
I quickly shook my head.
Why was I even disappointed?!
I opened the wardrobe and wore a white singlet with blue bumshorts and simple blue flip-flops. Then I packed my long blonde hair into two loose pigtails.
Looking at myself in the mirror made me pause.
I looked...
Cute?
No.
Stop thinking nonsense Lisa.
I stepped outside and one of the maids bowed slightly.
"Good morning Miss Lisa."
I smiled awkwardly still not used to people greeting me respectfully.
"Umm... where is Master?"
"The Master is in his room preparing for work."
Work?!
My eyes widened.
Wait—
He was going to leave without eating again wasn't he??
I immediately rushed downstairs towards the kitchen.
The maids quickly assisted me this time and I began preparing breakfast as fast as possible.
Thankfully, I was done right before I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
I looked up.
And completely froze.
Wooow...
Today he was wearing a fitted brown suit with black gloves and polished black shoes.
His thick black hair was styled neatly away from his forehead and he had removed most of his piercings leaving only one on his left ear and a single pin on his eyebrow.
He looked elegant.
Dangerously elegant.
Like some rich villain from a movie.
Even the maids looked stunned.
I quickly stepped back lowering my head respectfully along with the others while the food was served.
He sat down calmly at the table.
Then suddenly—
Tap.
Tap.
He tapped his fingers twice against the table.
Immediately all the maids turned around with their backs facing us.
I blinked in confusion.
Then suddenly—
I gasped softly as he pulled me down onto his lap without warning.
"M-Master?!"
One arm wrapped around my waist securely while the other pulled me against his chest.
He buried his face against my neck quietly taking in my scent deeply.
I froze completely.
Why was he being so clingy this morning??
The maids still stood with their backs turned like this was a completely normal thing.
Slowly, I relaxed a little and gently rubbed his hair softly.
"Take it easy..." I whispered quietly. "And don't come back completely drained like you always do."
He slowly looked up at me.
And my heart literally skipped.
He smiled.
Not the tiny little smirk he normally does.
A real smile.
Soft.
Warm.
Almost boyish.
He suddenly looked younger.
For a second I genuinely wanted to hug him and never let go.
Gosh.
How can someone this intimidating look this adorable when smiling??
I quickly grabbed a spoon before my stupid heart exploded and scooped some food towards him.
"Eat before leaving."
He obediently opened his mouth making me stare at him in disbelief.
Why was he suddenly acting so well-behaved??
I fed him another spoon and tried standing up but his arm tightened around my waist instantly pulling me back down.
Then I felt soft kisses against my neck.
My shoulders trembled immediately.
"W-Why are you being so clingy all of a sudden?" I asked shyly.
He didn't reply.
He simply kept holding me on his lap while eating calmly.
Sometimes feeding me too.
My heart couldn't even rest peacefully anymore.
When he was finally done eating, he leaned closer near my ear.
"You should try not to sleep naked every night."
My cheeks instantly turned red.
"My self-control takes alot of energy because of it."
...
My brain heard him.
But at the same time—
My brain refused to process it.
It was like this:
Me: Remember that.
Brain: Remember what?
I looked away pretending I didn't hear anything while my face burned hotter.
He chuckled softly then finally stood up.
As he walked towards the entrance, I suddenly felt something strange.
A chill.
A really bad one.
My fingers twitched slightly.
For some reason...
I suddenly wanted to stop him.
To tell him to forget work and stay home with me instead.
Maybe garden with me.
Eat with me.
Rest.
But I knew that would be selfish.
So all I could do was smile softly and watch him leave.
After he was gone, the maids immediately began giggling.
"The Master was sooo affectionate today."
"We could literally hear it without even looking."
"You are really lucky Miss Lisa."
Lucky...
Was I really?
Then suddenly one maid spoke.
"By the way, which family do you belong to? Black? Brown? Blue? Red—"
She suddenly stopped.
"No..." Her eyes widened slightly. "You can't be red... unless you are cursed—"
"Enough!"
The head maid quickly snapped sharply cutting her off.
The maid instantly lowered her head in fear.
The head maid dragged her away to a corner scolding her seriously.
I stood there confused.
Family colors?
Maybe that's how families are categorized in this country.
But then...
Why did the head maid react like that?
I brushed the thought aside eventually and went outside to help Grandpa in the garden again.
This time Lucas wasn't around.
Still, gardening with Grandpa was peaceful and relaxing.
We chatted happily till evening before I returned inside.
At night, I prepared Master's dinner again.
But...
10pm passed.
11pm passed.
Still no sign of him.
Eventually I fell asleep waiting.
But suddenly—
My eyes opened slowly.
The room was dark.
I blinked tiredly looking beside me instinctively.
Empty.
That was strange.
Normally around this time...
He would already be here laying beside me.
A strange uneasiness settled inside my chest.
Maybe he was sleeping in his own room tonight?
I slowly got out of bed.
Only then did I realize I had accidentally slept naked again.
Oops.
I quickly wrapped the bedsheet around my body and stepped outside quietly.
The mansion was silent at this hour.
I walked towards his room and knocked softly.
No response.
"Hmm?"
I slowly pushed the door open.
It opened easily.
The room was completely dark.
I couldn't even find the light switch.
"Master...?" I called softly.
No reply.
I took another step forward.
Then suddenly—
SLIP.
"Ahh!"
I lost my balance and fell hard on my butt.
"Oww..."
Something wet touched my hand.
I frowned slightly.
What was this?
Slowly, I touched it properly.
Warm.
Thick.
And there was...
Alot of it.
My heart suddenly skipped nervously.
"Sorry for the late post guys, I am trying to work on my grammar and writing.
Thanks for reading❤️"
