Chapter 147 - [Bonus ] On The Other Side
"Leo, will you do me another favor?" Leo knew that he should deny. Her requests were having a lethal effect on her.
If she was looking seductive with the falling gown before, he had to hold his breath and close his eyes now to control the temptations. An alluring girl with her bound hand and blindfolded with her gown falling from her body.. Everyone would go crazy just by looking at the visual once, his eyes were darkening just by one glimpse.
"Leo, are you still there.'' She tried to move but only staggered with her dull actions and he cursed his luck as he moved closer to hold her.
"Yes! Yes.. I am here. What favor do you need?" she bit her lips with hesitation but all the blood rushed to his lower body looking at her action and he sighed. Tonight was going to be very long!
"Would you carry me to the bathtub?" 'in my arms! Her soft and supple body in my arms' the thought rang like an alarm bell in his mind and he gulped.
"Hmmm? If I take a cold bath, it might help me in getting rid of the heat in my body." she mumbled in a soft tone, afraid that he was getting annoyed with her bossy attitude.
"I really can't maintain my balance. Not to forget that I can not even see now. Please Leo." her soft voice was like claws scratching his heart and he couldn't help but nod on everything she would say!
"Wait here, I will prepare the water fast!" he muttered as he turned but she shook her head again.
"There is no need to take a bath in cold water only." 'this was the only solution her mind could think of!' he sighed and nodded.
"Alright." he moved closer to her and carried her in his arms. His face turned red and his walk turned stiff the moment his calloused hands touched her warm and bare shoulders and another hand touched her soft thighs. He had held her before too, but tonight he felt like he could burst just by touching her.
The small distance from room to the bathroom felt like eternity to the man who had held the girl closely in his arms.
He had almost thrown her into the bathtub when they reached there. If she would not have been holding his shirt with her one hand and her other hand was not wrapped around his neck, she would have already been dumped into the water.
He bent and laid her gently under the water. After her body finally dipped into the cold water, she sighed with a relieved look on her face "finally!"
But the uneasiness of the man standing in front of her increased by tenfold. The small tent under his pants had turned into a large pole and he was thankful to the god that she blindfolded herself. His face had turned completely red when her white corset turned wet.
"I am going out first and looking for a solution. If you need anything, call me in a loud voice and I will come back. Tell me if you feel better and I will help you in coming out of the bathtub too.'' He spoke hastily and without waiting for her answer, he turned to the other side.
"Ohh.. ok" she was a bit reluctant to let him go but she did not want to be too burdensome, so all she could do was not accept it.
Leo ran out of the bathroom as if demons were chasing him. It only took him a few seconds to come out of the bathroom and he took a deep breath as he leaned on the wall after coming out. Yet when he closed his eyes, the tempting visual did not leave his eyes and he cursed himself again.
He was sure that the visual was not going to leave him anytime soon. He had to distract himself or he would go crazy. He shook his head and walked towards the door of his room.
He opened the door and then saw his aide falling on the floor on his face without any support to hold his strong body.
Instead of being worried about the fall, his gaze searched the whole room as if he had lost the most valuable thing of his and was trying to search it. He came back only to his senses when a strong kick was delivered on his back by his master.
Only then did he realize he was too obvious when he was looking for the girl in the room. His face flustered and he looked at his master with an awkward laugh, "did you need something master? I was just worried about your safety when I heard that you have asked all the maids and knights to leave the room at once."
He spoke in such a righteous tone as if he was the most honest person around. Leo rolled his eyes at his self righteous tone.
"I want you to bring the expenditure list and the budget of next month for the first order of knights right now!" This was the first time that the knight was not afraid of the commanding voice of his master, but was looking at Leo brazenly as if he was looking at a fool.
A big 'O' was formed on his month as if he was asking are you sure that you want to sit and read how much grass had the horses eaten in the past month and how much should they eat in the next month?
In the end, he adjusted the collar of his uniform as he looked with and alert eyes towards Leo and could not help but ask, "my lord, a beautiful lady is in your room suffering from aphrodisiac and yet you want to read about the bills and budget and plan the expenditure rather than helping her in feeling better! boss, are you bent on the other side?"
