I followed Melodious down a long hallway. She released my hand and began walking ahead of me, her hips swaying hypnotically with each step. My mind was lost in thought, but I couldn't help being drawn in by her presence.
"Where are we going?" I asked as I followed her.
"To your room," she said over her shoulder. "You need to get some rest so you'll be ready for training tomorrow."
She led me to a door at the end of the hallway and opened it for me. I peered inside and saw a large four-poster bed with silk sheets. Candles were flickering all around the room, filling the air with a sweet fragrance.
"After you," Melodious said, gesturing for me to enter.
I hesitated for a moment before stepping inside. I looked around the room as I slowly entered, but Melodious just strolled past me. As she did, the red dress she was wearing slipped off her body, but she climbed into bed like it was no big deal. She turned back to me with an inviting stare, but I was frozen in place.
Are you alright?" Melodious asked, and I smiled.
I am just trying to make sense of this all. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met, and now you are before me, naked and very inviting. My memories are fogged right now, but something is telling me that I can't have what is laid before me, right?" I explained, and Melodious nodded.
"You are not ready for me yet, my love. I have been waiting for you, and I wish that I could give you all of my soul to devour, but we must wait. There is still much that you don't know, but you have only just arrived in this world. There will be plenty of time tomorrow for you to learn about everything," She said, waving for me to come over to the bed.
I did as she bid and walked over to the edge of the bed, where she sat up. Melodious slowly started to pull my clothing off; A rough gray shirt and brown pants. Once she was finished, Melodious pulled me down, and I crawled into bed beside her and stared up at the ceiling. I could help to feel awkward now that we were alone together.
I was curious to know why I had to wait when we both seemed like we were ready and willing. I could understand if she wanted to get to know me better, but I didn't think that was the reason for this hesitance.
I was so lost in thought that I jumped when I felt her hand on my chest. "Are you okay?" she asked, looking at me with concern.
"Yeah," I said, clearing my throat nervously. "I'm just a little tired, I guess," I said, staring up at the roof.
I didn't really want to tell her what was on my mind because I didn't want her to leave or something. I had no memories, and her presence was the only thing that I had to hold on to right now.
"You should rest then," she said, snuggling closer to me. "Tomorrow is going to be a big day."

I awoke to the sound of someone moving around the room. I opened my eyes and saw Melodious pulling on a long black dress that fit her body like a glove. "What are you doing?" I asked, sitting up in bed.
"Getting dressed," she said matter-of-factly. "We have to start your training today, and we have a guest coming. I would like to talk to him before your training starts, so you can work on getting dressed and eating."
"Right," I said, remembering what she had told me the night before. I felt a sudden surge of excitement at the thought of finally starting my training. "So what's first?"
"First, we need to get you some clothes," she said, walking over to me and running her hands up my bare chest. "As much as I do like you in the brisk."
Her touch was electric, and I could feel my body responding to her despite my just waking up. Melodious leaned into me, but before things could go any further, there was a knock at the door.
Melodious sighed and stepped away from me regretfully. "That will be breakfast," she said. "Get dressed and meet me in the dining hall when you're ready."
The door opened before I could say anything, and a young woman entered carrying a tray of food. She was wearing a maid's dress that perfectly fit her short and petite body. The dress was black and white, but she also wore white thigh-high stockings that slightly squeezed her thighs. Her hair was pulled back into a tight bun, and she gave the appearance of a very put-together woman.
"Good morning, Milady," she said with a curtsy when she saw Melodious. "And good morning to you as well, my King."
I watched curiously as the maid performed the same curtsy to me and then looked at Melodious.
Melodious must have seen the confused look on my face because she leaned down and whispered in my ear. "It's just a title," she explained. "It's what they call people like us."
"I assumed as much, but it just feels strange to have her address me like that," I said, covering my erection she had stirred up with her touch and lips close to my ear.
"It is something that you will get used to in time," she said, her eyes glittering mischievously. "Now get dressed so we can eat."
I watched her leave the room before getting out of bed and walking over to the table with the blanket around me. I was surprised to see a variety of food laid out before me, including meats, cheeses, fruits, and pastries. My stomach grumbled hungrily at the sight of it all.
I sat down and began devouring everything in sight, not caring that my manners were less than stellar. The maid just watched me with amusement as I ate until I was stuffed. Then she stood up and held out her hand to me.
"Come with me," she said. "It's time to get you some clothes."
