But there was a trick, a small detail that was betraying the momentarily dead-end that his family had stumbled upon. Small marks of dilapidation were blooming over the facade of the house, a sign that wouldn’t have been left unattended by the usually vigilant eye of the Elite, especially when it were these details that set out their rank in society.
I’m here.
I texted him the second I arrived since I didn’t know where to head out to and getting lost around the place didn’t seem like a good idea.
Up the stairs, third door on the right. I left the front door open for you.
My phone lit up with his command as my feet soon move to follow it.
The place was almost similar to Ferris’s when it came to impressive decorations, on a smaller scale, but still, you could see in every corner the opulence it meant to display.
Following his instructions, I found myself pushing open the door to his room. I had no doubt about that since the hurricane that seemed to just sweep the place was elucidating the mystery of who was the owner. If it had been a mystery, to begin with.
I looked at the pile of books thrown on the floor next to some worn sports gear and a baseball bat, hoping somehow that maybe he called me here to clean his room since the space was in such desperate need of that.
Though I knew all too well that it was far from his intention. Things never were that easy when it came to Cole, and today wasn’t going to be any different.
‘In here.’ Recognizing my presence, the king himself roared from behind a wooden door located in the opposite corner of the room.
Taking a moment to get myself together, I paced towards the additional chamber he was in, unsure if it was a dressing room or a bathroom. Yet it didn’t take me long to discover its identity.
The image almost left me breathless, forcing me to remain frozen in the doorway.
He was divine. So stunning that it couldn’t have been anything but pure evil laying within him. No angel could have ever made this, besides a fallen one- Lucifer himself. Nothing but an astonishing display of muscles and tattoos were covering his torso, letting every drawing majestically reflect itself in the blue mirrors of his eyes.
For a second I forgot to breathe, helplessly staring at his body as the last power of conviction lingering within me was fighting with the primal instincts they were ravishing my very being.
And still, the fear was still there. That tormenting anxiety knowing all wicked thoughts that go through that devious mind of his, especially since he was waiting for me half submerged into the bathtub.
‘Close the door behind you,’ he ordered, letting a dangerous grin bloom on his face.
I hurried to follow his request, not because I had some hidden urge to submit to him, but because I worried about the consequences in case of a rebellion on my side.
‘Lose the dress, Mouse,’ he ordered, immersing himself a little more under the water, relaxing every tantalizing muscle of his body.
‘Why?’ I quivered, afraid of his plans for the day.
‘You’ll see. Just do it before you make me get out and get the job done myself,’ he muttered since theservantdidn’tcomply in due time.
‘Arrogant piece of-’ I cursed between my lips, though was interrupted right before I got to finish the sentence.
‘So rebellious, when I decided to be so generous with you today,’ his tone so ironic that immediately stirred a rush of panic to race through my body. ‘Now, make it fall.’ It was an ultimatum to still be able to get a chance at hisgenerosity.Whatever that meant. Either way, he was the one leading this game.
Without lingering to think about it any longer, since this would have had the same result, either way, I unzipped my dress and let it slowly slip at my feet, remaining only in my underwear as he was scanning every inch of my body.
‘See, you can obey,’ he was getting on my nerves again, driving me to the point of a breakdown, knowing that there was nothing I could do to defend myself. ‘Now, come here, Mouse,’ tapping a place somewhere in the middle of the tub’s border he called for me to join him as my eyes couldn’t help but widen from the shock.
What the hell did he have in mind this time!?
Barely making a few steps, I reached the bathtub side, lowering my eyes to see where I could put my foot to step into the water. Though I didn’t get too far in following his command since my sight stumbled upon something that made me blush with uncontained shame. He was completely naked! Now, I know that people don’t usually take baths in their bathing suits, but I guess I watched too many movies since I was hoping I would have some accommodation time on my hands. Yet Cole seemed to get straight to the point when it came to human anatomy, probably because he had all reasons to preen on his perfect construction.
And still, I froze, having never been so close to a naked man before.
‘You can look because you’ll get to touch sooner or later.’ My reticence was shortly noticed by his vigilant nature ‘Or, maybe not... I was just saying that I was thinking about being generous ifff... You’ll kiss me.’
‘Kiss you!?’ If only things would be that simple.
‘Yes. It’s easy. You’ll kiss me, and we will play a game that could bring you your freedom.’
