A knock was heard. "Miss, your food is here!" Gilet shouted.
Benjamin ordered them to enter. "Bring it in."

The door opened, and Gilet and the two maids placed the food on the table. Meanwhile, Benjamin paired himself right behind me; he was dangling his hand on my upper chest, playing with my breasts. I felt embarrassed; we were not alone, and even though the maids kept their eyes down, it felt improper.
They finished and left. I turned to Benjamin. "Okay, let me rest a bit. Then I swear I'll attend to your needs. That way, I'll be more focused."
He sighed, reluctantly removing his hand. "Alright, get some rest. I'll wait."
All I thought of was to lay down, the soft mattress cradling my tired body, and close my eyes, hoping to get some much-needed sleep before the next round of challenges awaited me.
Drifting off, I felt Benjamin's presence beside me, his arm protectively around my waist.
