Chapter 9

Aleta turned her face the other way and her cheeks were now flushed. The thought of having to bathe a grown man was impossible.

"Yes... you can refuse. I don't mind," Dave replied casually with a shrug.

"But... about your sister's treatment..."

"Okay, that's enough, no more. I know where you're going with this. Let's get this job done quickly!" Aleta continued.

Aleta would be weak if it involved her sister's survival. Like it or not, Aleta had to do whatever Dave told her to do. In addition, Aleta was also determined to survive and stay by Dave's side. There were things she had to confirm about the massacre of the hotel workers involving her parents a few years ago.

Dave smiled, then resumed his walk. Aleta took a deep breath and tried to brace herself.

"Calm down, Aleta. Let's pretend you're giving the dog a bath," Aleta thought.

"What are you doing there. Hurry up and get the water ready, I want a bath. Don't forget my favorite soap and scented oil in the cupboard over there," Dave ordered.

Aleta didn't say much and prepared the warm water. Meanwhile, Dave undressed and prepared to take a shower.

Aleta turned around, intending to tell Dave that the water in the tub was ready. But the girl was surprised to see Dave, who was naked, standing like a model.

"Hey, oh my! What the hell are you doing. Hurry up and put your clothes on, where's your shame? I'm still here and you're naked," Aleta protested, covering her eyes with her hands.

"As an assistant, you should be used to seeing me in this state. You will bathe me every morning." Dave walked leisurely to the bathtub and jumped into the water.

"You're crazy! No, I feel so embarrassed right now," Aleta complained to herself.

"Hey, what are you doing in there. You have a lot of things to do. How can you keep standing there with your eyes closed. Hurry up, I don't have much time," Dave scolded.

"Seriously! If he doesn't have much time, why should he ask me to bathe him. She should have bathed herself!" Aleta said to herself.

Aleta opened her eyes and saw Dave in the bathtub. Her heart was beating wildly. After all, Aleta and Dave were new to each other and were still strangers.

"I can't look him in the eye like this," Aleta thought.

Aleta took a handkerchief from her pocket and folded it. She walked behind Dave who was sitting in the bathtub. She covered Dave's eyes with the handkerchief and tied them shut.

"Hey, what the hell!" Dave protested and wanted to get rid of the handkerchief that covered his vision. But Aleta stopped him.

"No, don't open it," Aleta prevented him.

"What? But why!" protested Dave.

"I just want to do my job properly. And... I can't do it face to face with you. So... please just do me a favor. I will bathe you with your eyes closed," Aleta explained.

Dave took a deep breath. This was actually very strange, but... for some reason Dave liked it.

"Alright, do whatever you want," the man replied.

Since Aleta had blindfolded Dave, the girl had more freedom. It was a bit nerve-wracking to be face-to-face with Dave.

Aleta began to touch the man's body. The smooth skin was shiny and slightly brown. The strong muscles shaped Dave's body so beautifully that Aleta could only gulp. This was her first time touching a man's naked body.

Since Dave's eyes were closed, other parts of the man's body were more sensitive. Dave could hear the sound of Aleta's breathing and also the sound of Aleta's loud heartbeat. He could also inhale the sweet and alluring scent of Aleta's body. Dave could also feel his skin becoming more sensitive. Especially when in direct contact with Aleta. There was a strange sensation that Dave had never felt before.

"Hang in there, Aleta. You have to stay here. At least until you find the answer!" Aleta said to herself silently.

Aleta turned her focus back to Dave.

"Who are you, exactly?" she asked.

The girl looked at Dave's face, while her hands were still rubbing and cleaning the man's body.

"What do you mean?" Dave asked back

"You just suddenly came into my life and made me experience all kinds of unexpected events," Aleta thought.

"Why don't you answer?" Dave asked again.

"Forget it," Aleta replied.

After a while, Aleta had finished her work. She took a few steps back to get away from him.

"I'm done and have your clothes ready. Please do not remove the blindfold until I leave here. I respect you as my Master, but I also want you to respect my weakness," Aleta said.

Dave did not reply to Aleta's words. He just listened to Aleta's footsteps, which were now farther away and faintly audible until the door finally opened and closed again.

Only then did Dave remove the cloth used to cover his eyes. He smelled the object and felt a little scent of Aleta's body attached to it.

"Weakness you say? So you're weak to me?" Dave said while still kissing Aleta's cloth.

Aleta walked out of Dave's room. She walked away from the room, trying hard to stabilize her racing heart. Frankly, it was excruciating.

"What's wrong with me?" said Aleta. She stopped walking and leaned against the wall.

Dave's handsome face, his muscular body, his masculine scent, his big, strong muscles, and something she shouldn't have seen. Aleta fantasized about Dave's naked body.

"Aaarkh, damn it! I look like a perverted girl. I must be crazy. Stop imagining it, I'll get a nosebleed!" Aleta grumbled to herself.

Busy imagining Dave's body, which she thought was so beautiful, Aleta almost didn't realize that there was a sound of footsteps approaching her.

Aleta turned her head and found a man with a friendly smile walking closer until he stopped right in front of her.

Aleta didn't know who he was, but as someone who was asked to take care of Dave's personal needs, Aleta tried to fit in by bowing slightly and giving him a little respect.

"Good morning, sir," Aleta said.

The man smiled a little and returned her greeting.

"Good morning. I hear you just arrived last night and started work this morning," the man said.

"That's right. My name is Aleta, I'm in charge of serving all of Mr. Dave's needs," Aleta said.

"Ohh, okay," the man said.

The man then grabbed Aleta's chin and made her lift her face. Their gazes met and there was a slightly strange atmosphere.

"You're done with Dave, right? Then... it's my turn," the man said.

Aleta brushed off the man's hand and looked back at him sharply.

"I'm sorry if I'm being rude. But, Mr. Dave said it was my duty to serve him only. No one else!" she reprimanded him sternly.
