Chapter 5 - Resisting her allure

Derrick hadn't thought he would be able to resist Miranda. She was so attractive; her beauty had awakened something deep in him, and after returning to his bathroom, he wanted to take a bath to relax his arousal, but then he remembered Miranda had used his bath.

Derrick had not shared his bathroom with anyone before; now a maid of low status dares to use his bathtub and also his sponge and soap.

Derrick felt irritated and wanted to discipline Miranda, but how would he report such news to his mother? His mother was over 70 years old. What if she had a heart attack and fainted as a result of the shock?

"No, I cannot let my mother find out about this," Derrick said. He was enraged as his member still throbbed and hurt, needing that round ass to cool it off.

"Damn it! What kind of temptation is that? I guess I should have that maid fired tomorrow morning. Isn't she the same maid who dared to beat up Melody to that extent? I see that she's on a mission here, and I will deal with her personally." Derrick affirmed.

He moved away from the bathroom door where he stood staring at his bathtub with irritation.

Derrick walked up to the pristine bathtub and cleansed it properly. He washed out his soap and sponge, feeling irritated that Miranda had used them.

"Miranda," he mused her name. "She dares to cross the limit and to use my belongings. I will deal with her."

After cleaning his bathtub, Derrick prepared his bath and entered inside. He remembered seeing Miranda nude body when he opened the bathroom door.

"Oh! I should not have opened the door after hearing her soft voice. She had such a nice, soothing voice," Derrick thought about Miranda's enchanting voice, and the way she moaned when he held her cheeks to check if her head was not hurt. 

The way her skin was so soft and soothing to his touch. Despite staying inside the cold bath, Derrick didn't care to mix the cold water with hot water to dilute the chilly bath temperature.

Derrick remembers how Miranda's cheek felt in his hand. "Her body was so soft. Damn it! I should get a girlfriend ASAP to get some release. I cannot bring myself to sleep with my mother's maid. No way, I cannot do that."

Waving off the thoughts about Miranda in the back of his mind, Derrick finally gets out of the bathtub after spending hours bathing.

The heavy rain had started covering the night sky and flooding the city roads. Derrick stood by his room window, staring out at the downpour of the torrential rain.

He remembered that he hadn't even called his elder sisters to confirm if they had gotten home safely.

With a sigh, Derrick moved away from the window after shutting the curtains and closing the window glass to prevent the heavy downpour from entering his bedroom.

He saw the time was already past midnight and thought against calling his sisters, as he knew they lived a few distances from his family mansion.

Walking up to his king-size bed, Derrick picked up his body lotion from his drawer. He moisturized his skin and went into his closet to grab his robe. He wore a white night robe, and black shorts.

Then he climbed onto his bed to sleep.

Shutting his eyes, the memory of him holding Miranda came flooding back into his mind. The weather wasn't helping him, as he needed a warm body to keep him warm. He was also sweating, and he tossed his bedcover away while sitting up on the bed.

Derrick hadn't thought about having sex. He was 25 years old, and he had fewer friends as he presumed them to be his foes. He knew he could not trust any of them. He trusted Alexa, as she was a loyal staff member. And after working with him for a year, he had no issues with her.

"Is Alexa pretending for me to like her?" Derrick wondered. He couldn't go to a hotel to get a harlot. He was not the kind of man who indulged in adult content to get a release. He desired to have Miranda on his bed, and to pleasure her hard with the way his body desire and was reacting crazily to that thought. 

Derrick wanted to get Miranda up on his bed, and on make love with her.

"Damn it!" He groaned, and he left his bedroom for his study to busy himself, since he couldn't sleep or think of anything else except Miranda's nude body that he had seen.

Meanwhile, Miranda had returned to her maid's room on the lower floor of the mansion. She was feeling sad after remembering how Derrick made it clear to her that she was of lower status and he had nothing to do with her.

Miranda had thought that after Derrick had seen her nude body, he would take her to bed.

"Oh! What was I even thinking? What if Master Derrick sent me away tomorrow? Oh my goodness! I haven't even saved enough to start up the business that I want."

Miranda remembers her first salary since working in the Luis mansion after her graduation from college. She had used the money they paid her monthly to offer to the orphanage home that she grew up.

Later, she used the rest of her salary that she gathered to purchase a land in a distant town. She wanted to own a mall—a big supermarket in her name—where she would be selling varieties of items.

That was five years ago that Miranda purchased the land, and she had an agent who was assisting her to build the mall to her taste. 

She had not gone to the area after purchasing the land, but she heard from the agent that many contractors had contacted him to resell the land to them. As they wanted to build another company there.

Miranda heard the area had developed, and a company was offering to pay her $10 million to resell her land to them, as the land was along the roadside and in the centre of the developed town.

The town had become populated compared to five years before, but Miranda wanted to use the land. She planned to relocate to the area after she was through building it and establishing herself. She wouldn't remain a servant, and she hoped for a wonderful man to marry her.

Wiping her sobs away, Miranda strode up to her room window to shut it after the heavy wind had pushed her curtains away.

The Luis family were kind and allowed the maids to have separate rooms in the magnificent home.

Miranda stripped off her dirty pink gown after she was done closing the window. She tried not to think about Master Derrick again, even though her heart yearns to be with him. She decided to focus on her job and on saving enough money to establish herself.

"Maybe two years from now, I will be through with my services here, then I will move to the other town to start up my business."

A satisfactory smile curled up Miranda's lips as she envisioned a life where she would be referred to as Madam. She would have prayed for a man to elevate her status, knowing how prideful men were. Miranda decided to become as prideful as them, and as arrogant as she might be when she acquired so much wealth.

When morning arrived, Miranda was sleeping under the bed covers when the senior maid, Juliet Colton, barged into the room and tapped on her shoulder roughly.

"Miranda! Wake up! Lady Loretta summoned you into the living room!" Juliet yelled.
