Chapter 18 - Chapter Eighteen

Good morning." Tristan's voice floated across the kitchen, breaking their intense eye contact.

"Morning Tristan, did you sleep well?" Roth asked, giving his best friend a wide smile.

Tristan was never a morning person. The underbag in his eyes was clearly seen. It felt as though he had not slept throughout the night.

Hell yes! He had not. The thought of Roth letting a girl in the mansion bothers him a lot, it gave him sleepless night, he could not bear the thought of seeing them having sex all the time or being all lovey dovey. He had seen Roth kissing her last night. It was not just a hook-up kind of kiss. It was not a kiss bore out of lust. It felt like love. It was love, a kiss filled with love, wanting, and passion.

Tristan turned throughout the night on his bed. He could not help the pang of jealousy that pierced through his heart. He felt like he was being cheated on. But Roth does not belong to him. He never will.

He does not even have any idea about the attraction his best friend has for him.

Roth was never into men, and making Tristan his first, was laughable, Roth is and will always be a breast and pussy man, not butthole, that realization alone, had tears running down Tristan's face last night.

He had numerous of Roth's pictures in his closet which roth himself was not aware of, he knew what Roth smells like, what Roth likes doing, he knew Roth's dislike, there was something else he was desperate to know, Tristan wants to know how Roth taste.

"I slept well" his eyes moved from Roth, to the maid he supposed was kissing Roth last night, Tristan gripped the coffee cup tightly as he took a sip of the hot coffee, Roth sense the tension, he saw Tristan not taking his gaze off ruby, he cleared his throat, now was the time to formally introduce them.

"Tristan, this is Ruby, the new cook who will be living with us, and Ruby, this is my best friend Tristan," Roth said, giving her a small smile.

"It's nice to see you, I hope you will be focused on why you are here and nothing more. I won't be eating anything this morning, " Tristan said in between clenched teeth as he walked out of the kitchen.

Ruby watched him walked out of the kitchen, there was something about Roth's best friend that she could not pinpoint, it felt as though the sight of her disgust him, she could see the anger in his eyes, him trying to hide his disdain for her.

What could be his problem? Ruby wonder. With what she just witnessed this morning, Ruby knew she was never going going to have it smooth in the mansion.

She turned to look at Roth who was already looking at her, " You don't need to think too much about my best friend, he is an introvert, and does not really mingle well with people, since this is your first meeting, don't worry, you will see as time goes on that he is a sweetheart"

Ruby smiled at him, she does not think so. The look on Tristan's eyes was far from what a sweetheart looked like. Not wanting to prolong the issue, and seeing Roth's was already late for work, she nodded her head, hoping Roth knew what he was talking about.

********

Peter had turned out to be an amazing teacher and an extremely likeable and patient man. Ruby was already looking forward to the next lesson. However, being that today was Tuesday, the next lesson wouldn't be until Monday morning. She was confident she'd be preparing gourmet dishes for Roth and his best friend in no time with Peter's tutorage. She still had a few hours before Roth was due home so she decided to get some laundry done and was now standing in the middle of Roth's massive bedroom and heading for the large mahogany dresser against the back wall, by the door that led to his massive walk-in closet.

The dresser had three columns of four drawers. Sitting the white plastic laundry basket filled with clean, folded clothing in it on the top of the dresser, Ruby decided to start with the top left hand drawer and work her way, though. It occurred to her for a second that perhaps he wouldn't want her going through his drawers, but it was what she had been hired to do." I'm his cook/maid/personal assistant and anything else he needs and right now he needs his clothing put away" she reasoned , "besides, he had no problem sending his driver rummaging though my stuff.

Opening the first drawer, she was confronted with ties. The second made her gasp, her eyes widening in surprise, quickly followed by a grin spreading across her face. Rothdam Dimitri just got a lot more interesting.

She grabbed a thick pink vibrator from the drawer and flipped it on. It buzzed softly in her hand. Giggling softly, she turned it back off and tossed it back in. "Well, well Mr Rothdam you have been a very naughty boy," Ruby said out loud with a chuckle as she then pulled a soft brown leather flogger from the drawer and ran her hand down the length of it.

"Indeed I can be."

Her grin immediately faded as she spun around, her hair fanning out around her head and colour draining from her cheeks. The flogger slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor at her feet. She quickly bent, not taking her eyes off of her new boss, retrieving it, and then straightening back up. Before her stood Roth, his tie loosened, leaning his shoulder against the door jab, one foot crossed casually over the other and regarding her with raw desire. He was pure sex in a tailored suit if she'd ever seen it.

"I'd ask you what you were doing in here, rummaging through my personal affects," Roth nodded towards the laundry basket as he pushed himself off of the wall and stalked towards her, his expression becoming more intense, so intense that her stomach fluttered and the throbbing between her legs ignited.
