"Leave us, Vivian"
Zach said and Vivian gave one last bow and left the two of them.
"I thought you were not around"
Cecilia blurted looking surprised that he came back early.
"I couldn't go, I missed you so much"
A smile etched on his face but something dangerous played in his eyes.
"What were you doing?"
He asked sitting close to her.
"I... I was with the flowers. They are all dead"
She bit her lip feeling pity for the flowers.
His face contoured with amusement.
"I never knew you dote on flowers so much"
He said looking oblivious when he was not.
"I do, it's one of my hobbies... How unfortunate no one cares for them"
She blurted but her voice lowered...
He realized she cared for flowers.
What an odd thing.
He thought...
"At least you are here now to care for them... So what other hobbies do you have?"
He asked intrigued by the conversation.
"I love playing the piano"
She replied still looking at the flowers.
He bit his lips, shocked by the fact that a lady would love to play the piano.
"I see... You know, I will like to show you something... Flowers to be precise"
Hearing flowers, Cecilia beamed.
"Let us go then"
She grabbed his hand failing to notice the smile on his face that carried mischief.
&&&&
He took her to open land. But it was dead. The flowers were dead.
She turned to him for an explanation.
"Well, this is a little task for you bunny... It is minutes past noon now, water everything before four in the evening. I don't want you boring yourself in the room always"
He spoke, his voice carrying mischief.
Her eyes widened hearing him.
An entire acre.
"See you later... Failure to do this brings punishment... This is your first task being my slave... Let me go fetch the documents so we can legalize all of this"
He deadpanned then smiling at her, walked away.
...
Cecilia bit her lip angrily.
She knew she was now a slave... But what was the need to remind her of it all the time?
She rolled her eyes as she watched him leave.
She walked around the dead field of flowers for quite some time, taking the task of identifying them even when dead.
"Milady..."
She heard Vivian's voice.
Five tanks were already filled with water.
Her job had started.
&&&&&&&&
She finished watering the flowers a few minutes before the time he gave her.
She was sweating buckets and very exhausted.
Vivian offered several times to help her but Cecilia disagreed not wanting to test the so-called punishment of Zach.
Vivian led her to her room and on getting there, Cecilia ran to the bathroom to have her bath.
After having her bath, she moved to the bed to lay on it.
If only she knew what Zach wanted to show her, maybe she would have rejected the idea of following him.
She thought.
She closed her eyes to sleep, but it was unsuccessful as Vivian knocked.
"Yes?"
Cecilia asked irritated by the fact that she could not catch some sleep in peace.
"I am sorry if I disturbed you... The King wants to see you... In his room"
Vivian said.
Cecilia wondered if the documents had been brought already or not.
But if not, why was he calling her?
She realized she was dressed in just a pajama.
"Okay"
Cecilia replied and followed Zach.
It was just a little trek as his room was in the same building in his quarter as hers.
Cecilia pushed open the door and entered the room leaving Vivian outside.
The room was dark. So dark that she could hardly see.
"You didn't knock Cecilia... What if I was naked?"
She heard his voice at the other end of the spacious room.
Her face flushed but due to how dark it was, she felt he would not notice it.
"Come here.."
His stern voice ordered and she move her legs towards him.
"You will be washing me tonight"
He deadpanned as he caressed her jaw.
Wash him?
Cecilia did not know what he meant by that.
"Follow me"
He ordered and she followed him. He opened a door inside his room and entered, and so did Cecilia. And it was then she noticed it was his bathroom.
The chandelier in the bathroom was on which made it bright enough for anyone to see.
She took a look at him and noticed he only tied a towel on his waist.
The sturdy chest. The tattoo. The toned skin.
She did not know why, but all she wanted to do at that moment was trace her fingertips on his toned body.
Noticing her looking at his body, he smirked.
Then with a flip of his hand, the towel was off his body...
Cecilia gasped.
For the first time, she was seeing a male's private part.
She gasped as she moved her hands to cover her eyes failing to look at the smile on his face.
"Quickly bunny, come and wash me"
He said and Cecilia stood still on the spot without moving.
He moved his long hands and put off the light and the bathroom was dark.
"Better?"
He asked and Cecilia gently removed her hands.
She felt quite better not seeing his naked body.
"Are you testing my patience?"
His voice sounded angry and a chi ran down her spine.
She quickly reminded herself of her position... A slave.
She moved her legs to him, trying to finish the bath as soon as she could.
She picked up a bar of soap and dabbed it in water to make it wet, then she started to rub it on his chest as gently as ever.
She continued doing that, then wrapping her hands around him, she did the same to his back then dropped the soap.
Grazing her hand on his cold chest, she noticed it was too slippery. Probably she had spent too much time rubbing the wet soap on him.
She moved her hands taking a jug of warm water, she poured it on his body while her other hand did its job by washing him gently.
She couldn't see his facial expression due to the darkroom to know if she was doing well.
Zach closed his eyes enjoying the feel of her gentle hand on his chest.
The feeling was magical.
Her warm hand was on his chest.
He never imagined one day Cecilia would be washing him... But the slave master situation was really in his favor.
Her hands kept moving on his chest as she rinsed until it finally reaches his nipple. She gently squeezed it trying to wash it.
He let out a low groan from his lips as she squeezed his nipple.
Something was going on with his body. Something he never expected to happen.
He only brought her to wash him so he could tease her.
But no, here she was arousing him with her gentle strokes on his chest.
