A shiver went through down my spine, and my hands started sweating.
Did he just invite me in and close the door? And be alone, just the two of us?
But how do I always manage to get in trouble?
I didn't want to go inside. I didn't want to be alone with him. I felt trapped. But I had to do what he asked me to do. After all, for him, I was just a maid. And the maids do that. They obey.
My heart started pounding as I closed the door, and I turned to look at him.
His eyes were fixed on me, looking at me, in the same way he looked at me the first time we met. I felt the same pinning down, as he was sending me the same magnetism all over my body. He got up from his chair, and suddenly the space was filled with his presence.
I felt the space shrinking, and the air lessened in my lungs.
