His Personal Maid — Chapter 29

Sylvester reached his room and placed Desire on the bed gently before walking into his Personal bathroom to take his bath. Desire was already awake and she found it difficult to sleep back. She thought of how a good bath could help her sleep peacefully back.

As Sylvester made his way out of the bathroom, Desire sat up at the edge of the bed, because she was startled. Their eyes met and Desire couldn’t stop looking at his wet hair.

He was half naked as he had only a piece of cloth wrapped around his waist. He had initially thought of her reaction if she saw him half naked big he never thought she’ll be looking at him with so much intimacy in her eyes.

Slowly, Sylvester made his way towards her with the water dripping from his body each step he took. He bent down to her level and caged her between his body as he placed both hands beside her on the bed.

“What are you looking at?” A drop of water fell on her face and before she could clean it with her hand, Sylvester stopped her by holding her hand.

She looked up to meet his deep blue ocean eye and she couldn’t speak when she saw how Sylvester was looking at her passionately.

“My lord,” she started what she couldn’t finish. “I will really like to….”

Sylvester’s hand slides to her back as he removes the first button of her uniform.

“You were saying something, dove, continue” He removed the second button.

The way he was looking at her made words to elude Desire. She tried searching her mind to remember what she wanted to say but not with the way he was looking at her.

“I can’t remember” He removed the third button. When his finger skimmed through her back, she shivered.

“You should remember, Dove” He removed the fifth and last button.

He removed the dress from her shoulder, exposing her to himself and the cold. He placed his cold lips on her collar bone before running his tongue up to her neck before he brushed his teeth against her tongue, making her moan.

Desire quickly covered her mouth with her hands out of embarrassment. Sylvester smiled at how adorable she was.

“Go take your bath” She couldn’t hear what Sylvester had said properly, so she looked up to meet his eyes and once she did, Sylvester stared at her pink lips and suddenly felt the urge to kiss her.

Desire wriggled her way out of the cage that he had put her and started walking towards the bathroom.

Before she made it to the door, Sylvester took her hand and pulled her back making her crash into him.

Her hands were on his wet chest and she could feel his heart beating. She looked up at him with those puppy eyes and he melted. Before she could ask him anything, he slammed his lips on her, kissing her passionately and taking her breath away.

Sylvester slid his tongue into her mouth, making her feel feverish from how she felt when their tongues met.

When she least expected it, Sylvester forcefully removed his lips from hers and held her face with both of his hands, he kissed her forehead and told her to go take her bath.

After Desire emerged from the bathroom, she found Sylvester sleeping on the bed already. One of his hands was covering his face as he was sound asleep.

Desire slept right beside him at the farthest corner of the bed, trying to be invisible and not wake him up. She looked over at the scar that the wound had left behind. She smiled when she remembered how he had mocked her stitching ability and that made her wish she could learn more from the healer that was staying with them at the mansion.

“What are you thinking about?” Sylvester asked, surprising her.

He had turned to face her on the bed and also moved closer to her side.

“Nothing of importance, my lord” Sylvester ran his hand on her face and wondered what could be going on in that head of hers.

“Talk to me, tell me what is bothering you. Do you need something?” He asked and drew her closer to him.

“No, my lord. I do not need anything, I was only wondering if I could learn some more under the healer” She held her breath after she asked, thinking he’ll reject her want.

“During the evenings. I’ll inform him by morning” Desire was surprised that had said yes.

“Thank you, my lord” She replied smiling widely at him and Sylvester couldn’t stop himself from smiling back.

“Do you think Queen Naomi would be safe in that palace without Ying?” She asked the question that had been on her mind since she mounted that horse and left the palace.

“I don’t care, Desire” He replied harshly, bringing down the girl’s spirit.

She had been praying for her Queen’s safety and now this man over here doesn’t care if his own sister was safe or not.

She wondered what had happened between them to make him hate his sister this much.

“You never care. She told me how you never visited her ever since she got married. You should care, she’s your sister and don’t make me hate you” Angrily, Desire replied and turned her back against him.

Sylvester was taken aback at her boldness at calling him out but he knew he was beginning to rub off on her or maybe Naomi’s boldness was beginning to manifest in the girl.

He turned her back to face him. He touched her hair and looked into her eyes. He noticed that her eyelashes were wet and he wondered how easy it was for this girl to cry.

“I care about her. If I do not, I wouldn’t have sent Ying to stay with her in the palace for so long but now, with the war cry resounding on every wall, I can’t risk Ying’s life anymore. He’s a brother to me and I can’t let him die because Naomi decides to stay out there even though it’s dangerous at this period, okay?” He explained and Desire nodded in understanding.

“Stop crying and get some sleep so I can sleep myself” Desire rested her head on his chest and threw her hand around his body while he held her close.

“You’re my favorite person, my lord” Sylvester smiled at her words.
