"Ah! What a nap."
After her quality nap, she was beckoned to the bathroom. Her fingers clutched the hem of the shirt and pulled it off and discarded the dirty piece of cloth on the floor. She then unzipped the borrowed jean - which was bought by Elijah during her comatose state. Pulled down the jeans before she kicked them away.
"This is life. What a bathroom."
Her eyes gazed around the massive majestic bathroom. The room was big, bigger than the Keira room she occupied last night. Above was the warm color of small lamps all over the ceiling.
Different from the stone decoration, the bathroom surprisingly had its own authenticity. The old owner probably loved the aesthetic because it was built with durable wood.
At her right corner was a shower room, next to it was a wooden-style sink. Opposite to it was a seating toilet bowl - again with the irony because someone like her loved squatting.
And in the middle of two stalls were a small jacuzzi and a Japanese-style bathtub. The bathtub was looking more like a small poll instead of the actual bathtub, which amazed her a lot.
It was beyond her imagination to see the expensive design. Before this, she'd never understood why some of the rich invested in their bathroom.
"Now I understand. It was worth the struggle." She admired it.
By herself, she walked inside the bathtub or pool, shutting her eyes in pleasure as she felt the burning sensation wrapped around her skinny knee. Gritting her teeth albeit, in excitement, she felt the warm water with her hand as her foot took one step ahead.
"Please relax- gasp." Elijah wheezed and stumbled.
The sound of the body colliding with the floor was prominent in the air, conscious Shadow who was still in a daze.
"Elijah?" Her eyelids fluttered and she turned around.
The refined head maid sprawled on the floor with hot red skin had stopped breathing. Both of her eyes were closed with her hands although the eyes peeked in between the fingers.
Her nostril inflated and deflated like a pervert, breathing in and out the strong pheromones emitted by her body.
"Fucking curse." Shadow sat down at lightning speed, the realization soon hit her head. "Oi!" Her cold voice called Elijah, her dead eyes jabbed into Elijah's consciousness.
Elijah jolted, scrambled from the ground, the sweet inviting pheromone clouded her brain and made her jumbled. To make it worse, her instinct and salivary glands responded to it against her will.
'What is this plothole, Wan? You're supposed to be the almighty The Unknown. My normal strength wasn't supposed to be applicable in this novel. My body should experience some restrictions. I should be able to expose my body freely. But what is this even? Am I incapable of being freed from this monstrosity?'
"Eyes looking here," Shadow pointed at her eyes, a cold voice smeared her back.
Elijah's eyes traveled to her visible body instead. Her wet beautiful shoulder called her to it. She felt like in a desert, scorching sun on top of her head, hot sand under her feet.
Right in front of her was a pond mirage. A dream place, a trap to quench her thirst.
"Hey!" Shadow snapped her fingers, calling her, colder than before.
Elijah's eyes were quickly planted on hers.
"This is annoying," Shadow pushed her bang to the back.
Elijah appeared to be struggling to focus solely on her face. From the distance, she saw her eyes quiver and threatened to look at something else.
The dignified head maid was now in her inner war, her fingers were itched to touch the refined body.
As for how small she was, underneath the shirt, it was full of surprise. Her toned arms, a perfect round of boobs, veins popping, slender body with solid muscles around - that salivated her the most - and… the scars.
Shadow's eyes shook, surprised. "Come here," Shadow looked calm yet inside her was full of conflict. But decided to let her be near her.
Like a docile dog, she ambled toward the body. Taking a deep breath, fingers curled tightly around the maid dress.
"Inside the pool with me," it wasn't a request.
Elijah stopped her legs. The strong pheromone from Shadow abused her nostril as she was near her. Her brain was fighting with her instinct, to stay sane instead of succumbing to her desire. This was serious, her job was on the line.
"Should I repeat?" The unmoving body resonated dryly inside the massive bathroom.
Elijah jolted, bowed her body, respecting her like the lord. It wasn't intentional and so unprofessional but she was helpless in her presence.
This mysterious newly appointed master of the house had shaken her foundation and humiliated her as the professional maid.
She climbed the rank by dedicating her whole body to the job. Not even once, she fell into any temptation nor her desire.
But the new master of her crumbled down her resort as soon as she exposed her body.
In shaky legs, she strengthened her resolve and continued. She took a detour just to enter the pool-like bathtub. Rinsing her legs with cold water she turned around and she caught her breath hitched inside her throat.
"Cough!" Elijah wheezed for the second.
Her face flushed to the max because when she turned around, Shadow's back view entered her vision, and shit… her back was one of the most perfect views she'd ever witnessed. Tone muscles and eagle-like scar.
"What are you waiting for?" The new lord asked without looking.
Elijah's eyes wandered for a second as her confident feet brought her to the sculpture-like body. Was not in her right mind, she raised her hand.
One-step, two-step, three-step, four-step, five-step, six-step… It took her six steps to crouch down and touch the rough skin.
"Hu- uh…" She moaned when the warm skin contacted her cold fingertips. Her mouth produced excessive saliva, her eyes were basically eating out the body. "... beautiful…"
The scar looked painful yet alluring, inviting her to touch it, to feel it, to kiss it... She gulped down her dirty thoughts.
On the new lord's back was an enormous scar of a flying angry eagle. The scar was so detailed it felt like it was printed instead of carved in.
Below it, the 'F' letter caught her attention. Her finger slid down and traced around it.
"Must be painful." She said dreamily, the overwhelmed feeling took over her body, and became an admirer instead of the honorable maid.
Shadow scoffed, letting her do whatever she wanted.
"Are you done yet?" Asked her, leaning on her hand at the side.
Elijah was tongue-tied.
Yet, Shadow was met with a silent and soft-touch at her back. "Huh…" she sighed.
Extending her free hand to the back, she grabbed the arm of the lost soul and pulled back to the front.
"Kya!" Elijah plopped on her thighs, water splashed everywhere. The fabric of the maid's attire touched Shadow's bare skin. Her arms wrapped around Shadow's neck. "Mas… master…" Her face reddened brighter than before.
A small smile stretched on her lips. "Cutie." She flicked her fingers softly on Elijah's forehead.
"Mas… master…" Elijah struggled on her, but Shadow's was faster. Both of her hands wrapped around Elijah's slim waist, maintaining their position as it is.
"Where are you going, my kitten?" Her sudden rough voice froze the maid, her face was reddening even harder than before.
"Mas…" she lost in Shadow's beautiful eyes. It was so inviting, luring her in. Unconsciously, she raised her hand, the fingers roamed around the eyes. "Beautiful," she swallowed her saliva.
Her eyes gotta be one of the most beautiful shades of all time. Her right eye was dark red while the other one was light orange.
It was contrasty, yet perfectly fine as it is. She leaned forward, her hot lips came closer before they landed precisely on her right eyelid. Succumbed into temptation.
Shadow sighed again, tightening her hands.
Then, Elijah pulled away, her dazed eyes traveled down to her perfect neck, her shoulder, and to her scar. "What happened?" She asked, her fingers traced on the scar.
"Lion claw. An alpha."
Truth to her words, when Elijah trailed down and scooted her butt a little on her thigh, the huge straight line allegedly a claw trailed diagonally from the left shoulder to her right thigh.
"Must be painful." But another scar on top of one of the lines of the claw looked hideous and old yet attractive.
Shadow scoffed, "the most painful scar amongst many." Told her sincerely.
"Oh no," Elijah visibly frowned, blinking hazily to the scar, her fingers stayed longer there. "How have you survived all of this? And you're working out."
Shadow looked genuinely shook, all widened eyes and stuff. Her lips curved up even higher. She tugged Elijah's wet hair behind her ear, the eyes warmly stared at Elijah's hazy eyes.
This was her first time listening to the sincere concern. Even in real life, whoever saw her naked body, her scars, not even once they took interest in it.
Everyone was busy slaking their own pleasure.
Hot kisses, hot touches, heat bodies, yet not even once, 'How is your body?', 'Your scar looks painful, are you okay?' or better yet, 'Tell me when you are in pain.'
"You seem decent," confessed Shadow, smiling sheepishly.
"I am?" Elijah's eyes shook, quite surprised.
The lake of her eyes mesmerized Shadow.
It was perfect.
The hazel eyes looked at her full of wonder in lieu of a beast in heat.
"Yes," she nodded. "Not even once I lied to you today."
"But are you a liar?" She said playfully.
"I lie occasionally daily. Was not a stranger."
A soft giggled resonated in Shadow's heart. Melodic laughter melted her iron wall albeit not fully.
"What makes you be so on guard, My lord?" Elijah asked mellowly.
Tried from admiring Shadow's scar, she bent her body and plopped her head on her bare shoulder. Her nostril then flaring, inhaling the intoxicating scent of her neck.
"Because life is unfair," Shadow rubbed her rear head. "Life is never kind to me. Not even once." It sounded personal to the ears.
'And it is personal.'
"... slrp, slrp, slrp… nngh… hah… nghh…""Say… who is your owner?""... ngghh.... Mas… ter…""Who? Say it properly, Eli." Shadow pulled a handful of her hand to the back, detached the busy wet tongue from her neck. "Properly." She searched the disoriented eyes under the disheveled hair.Currently, Elijah was inappropriately on top of her, straddling her laps, long maid dress had gone past her bare thigh, unbuttoned shirt, exposed chest, swollen wet lips, hot cheeks, arms around her shoulder and neck.Shadow herself who was in a robe was now half-naked."I won't let you have me
"What do I have to do, My Lord?"Elijah changed her attitude as soon as the door was closed from the outside, her eyes shone impatiently under the light of the sun which penetrated through the massive window behind Shadow.Shadow beckoned her with her finger before pushing her seat away from the desk, giving space between her and the desk.Making a grateful noise under her throat, the refined lady padded toward her and plopped her bottom on Shadow's lap, and embraced her neck.Shadow's fingers curled around her waist, as well."What should I do for you, My Lord?" She nuzzled Shadow's cheek with her nose."Administering this mansion for me. Soon, things will become so chaotic. I ne
The soldiers were wearing their clean uniforms, standing straight in the middle of the training ground. Their clear face with no dirt on it irritated Shadow for the first time.At a glance, the field they were in looked relatively new, the podium she was onto seemed sturdy and clean.They had the uniform on - camouflage trousers and jackets, a massive helmet wrapped on their heads, and some stuffed pockets which were basically full of deadly weapons around the body.Lastly, the black shiny boots. With a rifle in their hands.It seemed like they were ready to engage in battle.Although it wasn’t enough to guarantee a good result. With their standing posture alone Shadow could tell something was wrong.
“I will heed to your order, My Lord.” Amel saluted her military style. It was so sudden, Shadow had no time to question him.“I wish to locate him later by tomorrow morning.” This time it was Conan’s responsibility.“Yes, My Lord. Some of my trusted people had already sniffed his trace near the werewolf border, My Lord. We will give a further report tomorrow.”Shadow stepped outside the hall, walked towards the soldiers that were still standing under the hot sun. “I want to know their legitimate location. Ask Amel’s people to speed things up.”
She threw yet another file to the other side with a heavy groan. Yet another futile job. Met another yet dead road. Until when she needed to clean all the mess? Until when did she need to suffer? Damn it.“My Lord.” Elijah, who was putting her sleep attire on her body at the corner of the room, froze up as another innocent file flew like a boomerang to the sky and dropped dramatically on the marble floor.“Not too worried, dear.” The cold voice hinted a smile in it although she wasn’t looking in Elijah’s direction at all.“You can read all the documents tomorrow, My Lord.” Elijah successfully wore her nightgown.
“Listen up, Elijah.”Elijah, who was at her side, swiveled her head promptly to the side, in her direction, waiting for her to open her mouth for additional information.Today was a normal day.It’s been three days since she accepted the position and a lot of changes have been made in a short time.Well, she had prior knowledge of arranging a safety net for the broken and abandoned on the bad side of the world.“What I will do today will shatter your perception towards me. Completely. No cap.” She shrugged her jacket off, groaned ever so slightly as she had not had enough sleep due to problems.She went into work as early as dawn, putting her fo
“Wake up!”The people in the room wonder alone. The casual yet cold voice barely made it to their hearing. On what principle she believed the dreaming man could hear her.“My Lord, that’s not…” Amel retorted died there when the supposed man stirred up with a loud groan and the tips of the fingers touched the bent skull due to the metal, probably having a trauma.“Ugh…” Samuel laid flat on the ground. Opening his eyes seemed like an impossible task but he managed to do so somehow.Maybe because of the shock he received the moment he saw so many black shoes standing straight like a knight or something. They were wearing all black cloaks with only black shiny shoes visible. The rest was already covered with a lon
“... generally speaking, the oracle exists when the current fire user is corrupt.”“Corrupt?” Samuel almost shouted.“A complete idiot.”Amel understood Shadow for the first time. Her words did make sense.“But if we utilize him to the fullest, we can have a better result.” She uttered nonchalantly albeit her eyes were serious. Asking the real question.All the eyes turned to him. It was indeed an ideal scenario. Whereas, Samuel felt the foreboding feeling at the back of his head. Clearly, everyone was considering the option and it was against his value. He was born to lead not being led.“Get it into your thick skull, dude. Yo
