Chereads / LANA ( the mafia leader's maid) / Chapter 22 - Massage.

Chapter 22 - Massage.

She stood up straight; her eyes met his, and she felt butterflies in her stomach, but he had an angry expression that made her smile a little. He looked frightening at this point.

"Welcome back, master," he said, walking past her and turning to the large mirror on the wall. He stood there watching her back, which made him laugh because of the way she positioned herself.

"Had breakfast?" he inquired, prompting her to immediately turn to face him.

"Yes, master, thanks for giving me the chance." She smiled, but received no response from him. Instead, he gestured for her to come closer. Lana was perplexed; she had no idea what he was going to do to her this time, but in order to avoid making him angry, she walked closer but slower.

"Are you not supposed to remove my coat? Or do I keep reminding you about that?" His cold voice, with no hint of warmth, made her shudder a little. With her shuddering fingers, she held his coat gently, watching him raise his hands a bit and then take off the coat. She bites her lips as she reminds herself that she had two weeks with him, and she will not sleep in her room for two weeks.

She took his laundry basket and stored it inside. "Take this off, two," he said, referring to his black long-sleeved top that he had unbuttoned. She blushed deeply, breathing nervously, and gently removed his sleeve, revealing his naked upper body. 

"Good lord!" she muttered to herself, unable to stop blushing. This was becoming more intense for her. She admired his perfect back view and could not imagine how it would be in front. His black locs fell on his broad-muscled shoulders, and Lana could already tell it would feel so soft from the way it looked.

"Prepare my bath, and then I will need a massage from you. I do not want any more questions from you. I have had a long day. Is that clear?" She nodded to his question, gulping down the heavy lump in her throat. She has not massaged anyone, and if she does, she will do so with people she cares about rather than him. He had no idea how his actions were affecting her, and she was about to touch his skin for the first time.

"So Kate has been doing this, right? Stop blushing so hard, Lana; you are not the first to do this." She whispered to herself as she probably arranged his clothes in the laundry basket and quickly ran into his closet and grabbed his work outfit, which was neatly wrapped in her hands, and it all smelled like him, which she surprisingly liked.

She dashed to his bathroom, oblivious to the fact that he was watching her quietly. She quickly prepared the bath after Jane told her how he preferred his bath to be. 

"I have prepared the bath master," she said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. He dashed past her and slammed the bathroom door in her face, so she quickly took his clothes to the laundry, where she was relieved to see his laundryman. She handed him his clothes, and he recognized them as Axel's and paid attention to them.

"You are new?" the man asked, and she nodded in response, not wanting to engage in conversation with anyone at this time.

"That is nice; my name is Gilbert; what is yours?" 

"Lana," she replied, posing a small smile before straightening her face again. The man smiled because he could not take his eyes off her.

"You are beautiful, Lana, and I apologize if I am being too pushy; I just do not hide my thoughts." He smiled, showing his upper teeth, which appeared to be perfectly set. She smiled, whispering "thank you," and then noticed a wall clock, which indicated that she had spent ten minutes in the laundry room. She quickly exited the laundry room, saying goodbye to Gilbert, and returned to the room, but Axel had not yet left.

"Oh, thank goodness!" she exclaimed, wiping the sweat from her face with the back of her hand. Suddenly, the door opened, revealing Axel half-naked with a towel around his waist. His body was dripping wet, and Lana could now see the front of his upper body. Her gaze shifted to his stomach, which was tightly and perfectly packed with his abs. This made her stomach warm, and she could feel the butterflies dancing again.

Stupid butterflies

"I am sorry, M-master, I did not mean to be here; I will be outside the door waiting." She replied, regaining her full senses, but was cut off by his scoffs.

"Have you ever seen someone be massaged while wearing clothes? Wait here while I dry myself and get everything ready for the massage." Lana gave him a puzzled look, and her cheeks were flushed.

"I have never given someone a massage before, and I am unfamiliar with the tools required to master it." She replied shyly, still uncomfortable with how he appeared in front of her, looking deadly hot.

"Is there always something you know how to do? Return to the bathroom and check the cabinets; you will find body oils, scented candles, and towels; take them out." He ordered, and she did not ask him any more questions, but the scented candle lingered in her thoughts.

"What are you going to do with the scented candle?" she muttered, checking the cabinets beneath the sink and other cabinets before grabbing a towel from the towel rack. She came out to find him sitting on his bed. 

"This is what you requested, master." She responded by holding them tightly so they would not fall. "Drop it on the bed," he muttered, and she did so while he was in his pants. However, his upper body was still bare. He grabbed the scented candle, placed it by the stool beside the bed, and lit it with a match.

Lana smiled at the scent emanating from the candle, which smelled like lavender. The next thing he did was lie down on the bed, his back facing up.

"Do your job, and make sure it feels good." She was perplexed by his words. 'Feel good?' Giving herself words of encouragement, she took the oil, which she assumed should come first because it was for massage, and pressed some oil into her palm before slowly applying it to his skin.

Her hands came into contact with his back, and she paused, unsure what to do next. His skin felt soft in her hands, which surprised him, and Axel was growing impatient with her lack of response.

"Oh, what do I do?" She mumbled, her stomach twisting, her cheeks hot, and her forehead sweating from nervousness. 

"Fucking do this shit!" he exclaimed angrily, and she began kneading his back. She was uncomfortable with the way she positioned herself, so she climbed the bed and rested her legs in a position that appeared to be comfortable for her.

Axel pretended not to enjoy what she was doing, but he could not help but smile on the inside. Her hands were both soft and strong, and I was surprised she was doing so well for a beginner. He heard her shaky breathing as she massaged her back, and his back muscles relaxed.

"Apply more pressure, Lana," he groaned impatiently; Lana did as he said, but was unsure how much pressure she could apply to satisfy him. She had once seen a video of a massage being given to someone online, and she began to enjoy what she was doing, her face flushed with embarrassment. 

When they were interrupted by a knock on the door, Lana stopped what she was doing and got out of bed, wiping her oily hands on her uniform before opening the door to reveal Kate. Lana rolled her eyes and turned back.

"It is Kate, master," she replied, her gaze returning to Kate. She could see rage on her face as she saw Axel lying on the bed, stomach exposed. She was the first person he offered to massage, and seeing another lady do the same infuriated her even more. 

"Speak!"

"Master, you have a visitor, but Jane was too busy to inform you." Lana secretly laughed as she spoke in a cringe-worthy tone. He nodded and motioned for her to leave, which she did, fearing his wrath if she hesitated. Lana closed the door and looked back at him, wondering what kind of visitor he had.

He left his bed, grabbed a black T-shirt, and put it on. His hair was still messy, but he had a different kind of look that Lana could not help but admire; she wondered how a man could be so beautiful.

"Follow me!" he said in a commanding tone, and she did, walking behind him like she was lost in a strange place. They soon arrived in the living room, revealing a man.

"It's been a while, brother!"
