Episode 40 Continued - Her Butler, Planning
“Are you that sore, master?” I said as she laid in bed, tangled with the covers. “I didn’t even go as far as I could’ve.”
She just stayed in place, lying on her belly as her body splayed along the sheets. “I’m not getting up.”
“Come, master,” I said then, sitting on the bed beside her as I smiled. “Are you really done already?”
“It’s been ten minutes,” she said then, voice muffled in the sheets. “Leave me alone.”
“Your wake-up time is in two minutes,” I said then. “Why don’t you get up early, hmm?”
She just groaned and turned her face into the covers.
“Really, my lord?” I said, chuckling. “You begged for it, and now you’re acting like a child who got her ice cream taken from her.”
“I hate my life…” she said then.
I watched her gently. “Was I too rough?”
“I can’t move,” she said then.
I just sighed. “I guess that answers my question. Do you need help?”
“I need an apology,” she said then, voice muffled.
I smiled then, tipping my head to the side. “Is that what this is about? Gaining back your self-confidence by getting me to apologize for doing these things to you? When you asked for it?”
“I still don’t hear an apology,” she said.
I just leaned down, over her. “Get up properly and I will.”
She just remained in place.
“If you want an apology so badly,” I whispered seductively, “then get up.”
She sighed. “In all seriousness… I cannot.”
I blinked and gazed down at her. “You’re serious?”
“My whole body is sore,” she said then. “Because of you, you jerk. You’ve been doing this every night and now my muscles hurt.”
“You entice me on purpose,” I said then, smirking. “If you just told me, no, then I wouldn’t. And you, in fact, did the exact opposite.” I pretended to think for a moment. “What was it you said? Earlier this morning? Oh, yes, you said… ‘touch me’.”
She was silent for a moment. “I don’t see your point.”
“You liar, you indeed, see my point.”
“I’m still not getting up,” she said then.
I gazed down at her then, smiling lazily. “Master, you do realize I have plans to go over with you tonight? About the certain demon planning your demise?”
“Says the other demon planning my demise,” she muttered. “Past tense, but in the present case… if you keep doing this to me, my body will die.”
I danced my fingers along her back, hearing her groan in annoyance. “I’m sorry, I’m afraid I cannot hear you very well with your face pressed into the covers like that. Can you speak louder?”
“Sarcasm doesn’t suit you, Sebastian,” she said again.
“It suits me very well, I’m afraid,” I said then, pulling her hair over her shoulder. “Now, please get up. I must ready you for the day, my lord.”
She ignored me. “Let me power nap for three more minutes.”
“You had your chance,” I said then. “You could’ve gone back to sleep, but you decided to tease me instead. Depressing, isn’t it? What is it people say…? Consequences of our actions?”
She just groaned again.
“Are you going to continue wining like a child or get up and do your tasks?” I said then, smiling a little.
She just stayed in place. “In all seriousness… again… I cannot move.”
“And as I said before,” I said then, “do you need help?”
She nodded uneasily.
“See?” I said then, chuckling. “Is it really that hard to ask for help?”
“Yes.”
I just smiled and slipped my arms under her, hearing her whimper when I helped her sit up. “Come, now, master.” I helped her onto my lap. “I got you.”
I then stood and carried her over to the bathroom. “I think what you need is a nice warm shower and some pain meds, hmm?”
“And some… anti-Sebastian meds,” she said as I helped her down onto the counter. “I am hurting so bad.”
I closed the door to the bathroom, going over to turn on the shower. “Don’t entice me, then. I don’t play nice.”
She just rubbed her face lazily when it heated up, and I stepped over to her to finish unbuttoning her shirt.
She was wearing nothing else, though. Her panties were gone, no undergarments, and her shirt itself was halfway unbuttoned because of all the struggling she did.
Poor thing. She looked a mess.
After letting the shirt slide off her arms, I scooped her up again and carried her over to the shower.
She shrank back against me before I could set her down. “Is it warm enough?”
I gazed down at her in amusement. “It’s set to your favorite temperature when you sit on the floor. Is that what you’re asking?”
She nodded hazily then.
I then lowered her to the shower floor, and she let go of me when the warm water padded onto her shoulders.
“I’ll be right back,” I said then, moving away to grab her soaps.
“Sebastian,” she said then, making me stop and glance back at her. “I’m giving you two seconds.”
I just smiled and caught them from the bathroom counter. “There’s no need for timing. They’re right here.”
She just lowered her lashes when I stepped back over. “Good, because I want you to come in with me.”
I smiled down at her. “Master.”
“Come in with me,” she said then, glaring. “It’s the least you could do after giving me all these marks from your bites and breaking all my bones.”
I chuckled. “Why must you exaggerate so?”
She just set her cheek on her knees. “Don’t make me beg.”
“What if I want you to beg?” I said then, smirking. “And why so keen on showering with me? You made it very clear that you’re done with sex for a while.”
She continued watching me. “We have a big day ahead. I want to snuggle. I don’t think we’ll be able to do that again for a while.”
My eyes softened then.
“Hurry up,” she said then, lowering her face to her knees. “If you don’t want to, whatever. Just wash me already.”
I just stood fully and sighed, unbuttoning my tailcoat and the blazer under it. She kept her face in her knees, clearly thinking I was getting ready to wash her.
I finished with unbuttoning my shirt and let all clothes slide off me, stepping inside the shower seconds later and closing the door behind me.
She heard it clip shut and raised her head when I stepped behind her.
“Sebastian…?” she said then, glancing out the door. Her eyes widened in fear when the room remained empty. “Sebastian?”
“Relax, master,” I said then, making her gaze snap over at me. “I’m right here. Don’t get so scared, okay?”
Her cheeks warmed when she realized I listened to her pleads and she looked back down at her feet, seeming a bit timid.
“What?” I said then, sitting down beside her. “You’re so feisty before and now you’re nervous about snuggles?”
“Do demons snuggle?” she said then, voice quiet.
“If you’re asking if all we do is sin, then that’s a stereotype,” I said, lightly catching her shoulder. “Come, now. It’s time I do ask my master asked.”
I set my back against the shower wall and guided her to my lap, and her cheeks heated more when she sat sideways in it, setting her head on my shoulder.
I smiled a little and pulled her hair away from her shoulders and neck, returning to spread some of her soap on a loofa and ran it along her outer arms.
She turned her face into my neck as I took my time cleaning her.
“Do you like this?” I asked her then.
“I like this,” she said then.
I smiled and continued cleaning her, and she ran her hand along my left pectoral, making me gaze down at her curiously when I continued cleaning her.
“Does something there interest you?” I said, chuckling.
“I don’t know,” she said then, moving to touch my bicep. “Something about you is alluring, that’s all.”
I ran the loofa over her breast and started cleaning off her torso seconds later. “Are you alright, master?”
She nodded.
I didn’t press further, just continued cleaning her legs and finishing with her hair.
When I rinsed everything out, she finally said, “Five minutes.”
I gazed down at her then.
She just turned her face into my neck, closing her eyes. “Five minutes, that’s an order.”
I just smiled and wrapped my arms around her, closing my eyes as I caressed her shoulder tenderly. “If that’s what my master orders, then I shall obey.”
She parted her eyes and gazed down at my chest, and I looked down at her in return.
Her eyes glossed over uneasily, and she closed them again and buried her face in my neck.
“Master…” I said gently, “is something the matter?”
“How do you deal with it…?” she said gently.
I blinked. “Deal with what, my lord? I don’t understand.”
“Loving me…” she said quietly, “when you know you will surpass me. I am human, you are a demon… I will die, you will not. Doesn’t it cause you pain?”
I smiled then, lightly running my fingers through her hair. “It is true, the human lifespan is very short compared to a demon. You are correct.”
“When Ciel died…” she said quietly, “did you not mind it?”
I was silent for a moment, and I stilled my caresses as my smile fell. An entire tsunami of cold consumed me, and I sighed, closing my eyes tightly. “No, as a matter of fact… it was the opposite. I cried endlessly for weeks.”
“If I die… will it hurt you?” she said then.
“Yes, master,” I said quietly. “Tremendously.”
“Then… why not eat my soul?” she said then, gazing up at me. “Why don’t you? I will be with you forever… wasn’t that your original plan?”
I smiled then, brushing my fingers through her hair. “There’s no need for that, master. I won’t let you die. Nothing will take you from me. You will be mine forever, regardless.”
“Are you dodging the question?” she said then, eyes darkening.
“No, my lord,” I said gently, “I am being honest.”
