It was just Sally...bringing her another tray of food for dinner.

"Dinner time, Miss," Sally announced and walked towards the table. She arranged the dishes and the cutlery on the table. Done with everything, she looked at Laura. "Enjoy your meal..." she said. ​​

"Okay, you too!" Laura responded. "Wait...the Lord has not come back yet?" she inquired impatiently.

Sally shook her head. "Not yet. Anything else, Miss? I will take my leave now," she said.

Laura nodded her head. She watched the maid exiting the door. Sighing, she went to the table and inspected the dishes. "Hmm...they looked palatable," she murmured and sat on the table. She smelled the dishes one by one, her mouth watered. "Yummy!" she picked up the cutlery and began eating.

Thirty minutes later, she was done eating. She left the table and went to the window. All she can see beyond is darkness, especially in the part where the forest was located.

The wind is getting colder, she closed the window.

A moment later, Sally returned and took the dirty dishes away.

Laura was alone again. "Will that guy ever return?" she asked loudly. Well, if she doesn't come home today he will surely return tomorrow and he would come here because it's his bedroom.

Since it's too early to sleep again, she was pacing the room back and forth. How about if she will go out and venture outside? That's right! She hurriedly went to the door and tried opening but it's not opening up no matter how hard she tried... it was locked on the outside!

What's going on!?

This is madness!

D-did they locked her up inside the room?

A big fat yes!

"Sally! Open the door!" she shouted over and over again until her voice grew hoarse with so much shouting. Still, no one comes around to open the door. It must be the Lord's instruction to lock her up during the night to prevent her from leaving the house.

Dang!

She gritted her teeth in anger and frustration. Since she can't open the door she went back to the bed and sat on it. She was furious! But she can't blame the servants, they were just doing their job.

She needs to let some steam evaporate from her system. Her eyes landed on the bathroom door. She will take a long bath! That's right! Maybe the cool water will wash away some of her disappointments.

Since she has no sleeping attire to change into she will just wear the pink dress to sleep. She went inside the bathroom and began her long bath.

Minutes went by.

She only exited the bathroom after her anger dissipated.

She sat on the bed wearing the pink dress, drying her hair with the towel. She went to the mirror and picked up the comb, she began combing her hair.

Her hair was still dripping wet. She avoids lying on the bed or else she will get the pillows wet and that guy might get angry that she was messing up his bed.

She took another dry towel from his closet and dry her hair with it.

Three hours later, her hair was now dry. She can finally lay down in the bed. She climbs the bed and lies down, waiting for his arrival...

She doesn't want to turn off the light.

Two hours later.

Laura was already dozing off, it was already late, past 11:00 in the evening. She finally falls into a deep slumber.

She was sleeping soundly and failed to hear the door opening slowly...

The owner of the room finally returned. He removed his black cloak and hanged it on the coat hanger stand near the door. He picked up some clean clothes from the closet and went inside the bathroom to take a short bath.

A few minutes later, he exited the bathroom, vigorously rubbing the towel on his wet hair. He glanced at the beautiful woman wearing a pink dress lying in his bed. A gentle smile appeared on his lips.

Done drying his hair, he climbs the bed and lies down beside her. He draped his arms on her abdomen and stared at her beautiful face, he lowered his mouth wanting to claim her kissable lips. But she stirred on her sleep and turned away.

He smiled and bury his face in her neck and began nuzzling her ear. His left hand was caressing her tummy sensuously.

Laura stirred in her sleep, she can feel a gentle caress in her abdomen and the tingling of her ear. She must be dreaming...but when she opened her eyes...she realized that she was no longer alone in the room and the mysterious guy finally returned!

She tried pushing him off her but his body was like a rock, she can't push him away no matter how hard she tries. "Get off me!" she hissed. Her gaze throwing daggers into his eyes.

The guy chuckled and touched her face gently. "You looked more adorable when you're angry, Laura," he murmured.

Her eyes widened when he mentioned her name for the first time. "Y-you know my name?" she asked in disbelief.

The guy smiled broadly. "Yes, of course!"

"How did you know my name? Have we met before?" she continued asking him.

"I have known you for a while and follow you in the dark. But I never showed myself to you because it's not the right time yet," he answered.

"What do you mean?" she asked in confusion.

He grinned and stole a quick kiss on her lips. "I have loved you from afar, that's all I can say for now," he said mysteriously.

Her brows knitted together. She was trying to recall any events or times that she met someone like him in the past, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't remember him. With his handsome face, it would be hard to miss him if they indeed cross paths previously.

She sighed heavily and looked into his eyes. "Stop kissing me and stop touching my body!" she yelled at him.

"Huh? Why I can't do that? You are my bride... I can't help myself but touch you," he protested while looking at her with lust and passion smoldering in his eyes.

"I'm not your bride!" she corrected him defiantly.

The guy shrugged. "Well...you are in my bedroom now. That means you are now my responsibility and you are my bride," he insisted.

Laura was getting annoyed, either he was crazy or insane, it's the same. He kept insisting that she was his bride. "I'm not your bride because there is no wedding yet and I didn't accept you as my husband," she glared at him.

He just chuckled and dismissed her protest. He lowered his mouth into hers, his breath fanning her face. She froze beneath him, her eyes widened in anticipation...when their lips touched and his tongue entered her mouth swiftly...she was not able to do anything...because her body was already burning with desire as he ravaged her mouth intensely like there's no tomorrow. Passion flared in her eyes, he had successfully awakened the sexual desire hidden in her body.

She felt his hands caressing her thighs sensually underneath her clothes. His touch was so hot! He continues touching her there as a hot liquid of desire began building in her stomach. A moan escapes her lips.

He looked into her eyes and chuckled. "I'm happy I was able to make you moan," he said, grinning, his eyes were displaying amusement. "I know that you never had a boyfriend before and I know that I am your first kiss," he declared proudly.
