Naya began to feel very hot with Rhys in front of her. She had never been that close to a man, not to talk of a very hot and good-looking man like Rhys.
“Move away..” she stuttered, her face fanning red.
“And what if I don’t?” Rhys smirked. He loved the look on her face as she could tell that she was still a virgin from the way she acted. She was fresh meat.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Naya’s heart started to pound in her chest. She had never been in a situation like this before, and she didn’t know what to do. She was terrified, but she also felt a strange excitement. Rhys was so close to her, his scent filling her senses. She felt her breath quicken, and she was suddenly very aware of her body. She had never felt like this before, and she didn’t know what to do.
“I’ll… I’ll..” she stammered, looking around. The whole place was empty and there was not even a soul around.
What kind of trouble has she landed herself into?
“You’ll what?” He challenged her and it made Naya more angry.
“I’ll..” she began and she raised her knee to hit his manhood but Rhys’s sharp eyes caught that just in time and he held her knee.
“You little minx,” he said, his voice low and husky. “You’re a fiery one, aren’t you?” He held her knee in a tight grip, and Naya could feel the heat of his skin on her.
She tried to free her knee, but he was too strong. She felt a mix of fear and excitement, and she didn’t know what to do.
“Let me go,” she said again, her voice shaky. “Please, I just want to leave.”
“Not so fast,” Rhys said. “We’re not done here.”
“Move away from me..” Naya grunted as he was still holding her knee.
His touch sent butterflies to her stomach, and the fact her knee was bare, was not helping issues at all.
“What if someone sees us? Lord Rhys can’t pass by any minute so move.!” She glared at him but he remained unmoving.
“Don’t worry, he won’t come. It’s just the both of us here.. ” he said in an assuring voice and Naya scoffed.
“Look at you acting so confident. Move!”
“I am. Why don’t we have a little fun before he comes? What do you say?” He said in a low seductive voice as he began to lean closer to her.
“Fun my foot!! I’d rather die..” She shut her eyes closed as she muttered those words.
“Are you sure?” A hint of mischief was heard as he said those words.
“Very, you’re the last person I’ll ever have fun with in this world… ” She said to him. That was a big lie!!
She wanted to kiss him. Damn!!
” We’ll see..” Rhys drew out in a low voice as he suddenly let go of her.
” Thank goodness and don’t ever touch me again..” Naya stepped away from him as she arranged her rumpled dress.
” See you some other time Naya. My new friend… ” He teased and she eyed him.
” Friend my foot and I wish I’m never sent here again… ” she said as she turned on her heel and started to walk away, her heart still pounding in her chest. She was so confused. She was scared, but she also felt a strange kind of attraction to Rhys.
” We’ll see about that..” Rhys mumbled to himself as he watched her leave.
The corner of his lips curved off, he found Naya very interesting as women were usually boring creatures to him, but Naya was not.
He turned to leave, as he headed into his room. Sadly for Naya, her wish was never going to come true. The left-wing will be her most visited place in the palace.
… ..
“Where were you?” Jennet flared at Naya, the moment she walked into the kitchen.
“I went to deliver the food you sent me to” Naya gestured with her sign language. She knew she could speak but she just didn’t want to talk to Jennet and the other annoying maids.
“Can someone interpret what this bitch just said?” She requested and Naya wondered what exactly she had done to Jennet.
” She said she went to deliver the food you sent her to… ” A maid interpreted.
“Food!! For over an hour!” Jennet yelled and Naya had to step away from her.
How did the other maids manage her?
“How can you use over an hour to deliver food? ”
” Don’t yell at her mom. It’s possible she was the meal herself… ” Esme chimed in sarcastically.
“And then found herself in the lord’s bed..”
“Stop it, Esme. You would even look at a mute and pathetic girl like her. She’s not even worth his taste.. ” jennet fired.
” Get out of my sight.. ” she snarled and Naya silently turned to leave, as she went to stand at a corner.
” Don’t mind what they say?” Keira said softly as she came to stand beside Naya.
“No it’s nothing..” Naya gestured with a warm smile on her face.
“And thanks for reaching out!” She added.
“I don’t quite understand that but I can tell you were thanking me. You’re welcome..”
“Jennet is the head maid and Esme her only daughter. Jennet is proud along with her daughter. They both think they call the shots here and the fact they are both vampires does not help anything at all..” Keira explained and Naya immediately understood where all of it was coming from.
“I think Esme is jealous of you..” Keira reasoned and Naya turned to look at her with a puzzled look on her face.
Jealous? What did she possibly have that would make them jealous of her?
“You should know the news circulating among all maids..” she began and Naya looked at her.
“What news!?” She asked.
“That you have something with Lord Vlad.” She informed her.
What!!! Naya wanted to scream her lungs out.
“You’ve been seen walking with him on various occasions. The lords hardly talk to anyone not to talk of a maid and Esme is jealous because she has a huge crush on him..” Keira whispered the last words and Naya finally understood it all.
So mother and daughter now saw her as a threat, if only they could understand that Lord Vlad was just a kind soul. Nothing more.
Naya felt her heart sink as she realized what was happening. She had never meant to cause any trouble, and she certainly didn’t want to come between Lord Vlad and Esme. She was not even coming between anybody, they were not together.
But it seemed like it was already too late. Keira’s words confirmed her worst fears, and she knew that she had to find a way to fix this.
“But that’s not true,” Naya protested.
” I know it’s not. You should have to be careful and ignore them… ” Keira said sweetly as Naya hugged her to show her appreciation.
