Chapter 203: A Date
"Kitten, come here. Let me teach you. Mmm. Just like this..."
Eleanora woke abruptly, her body still tingling from the vivid dream that had interrupted her sleep. Frustration welled within her – a mixture of desire and confusion. Dam* it! She needed to see this man. His voice had been torturing her forever now, haunting her sleeping hours as well as waking ones. Last night she had hoped a little that it would that Calendar man, her alleged fiancé but there was no way that man could even produce such an erotic voice.
Eleanora sat up in bed and looked outside the window. It was still dark outside. Laying back down, she stared at the ceiling, wondering what to do next.. Every time she had a dream like this, it would wake her up. Sometimes, it made her agitated, sometimes it scared her and sometimes like tonight, it left her gasping for more.
Even without the tattoo on her, it seemed her subconscious knew that there was someone else she wanted in her life. Since her new family insisted that she had no one other than Augustus, then it was probably someone from her past. Maybe she had loved someone and had her heart broken. Or these new uppity Royal family had made her break up with that person. She had to go back from where she came and look for that person, if she needed any kind of closure.
Just as she continued to lay there, the door to her room suddenly started to open slowly breaking her out of her reverie. Who could be coming here in the middle of the night? On alert, her fingers clenched. Dam* it! She needed something to defend herself. Hurriedly, her eyes spotted the small candle stand on her right. At least there was something good about this ancient decoration.
In a second, Eleanora grabbed the stick and lay back on the bed. Because the person entering had been cautious, they were too slow to realize her movements.
Eleanora curled her fingers around the cold metal, ready to defend herself. However, the person who entered her room was... Lily. Why was her maid coming to her room so early in the morning?
She watched as the girl continued to look around and walk towards her stealthily. As Lily continued her silent approach, Eleanora’s mind raced to comprehend the maid’s intentions.
As the girl walked around the bed, she suddenly felt a trickle of suspicion. Could it be that Lily was planning to check her hand? Her hand tightened its grip on the stick. She’d started to trust Lily a bit but now...
Slowly, she pretended to jerk awake. As she did, she let out a small scream, clutching the blanket to herself tightly, with her left hand not even more secure under the blanket. Lily jerked back at the sudden movement and screamed and stared at Eleanora.
Eleanora sat up in bed and frowned, "Lily! What are you doing here at this ungodly hour? You scared me to death!"
Lily, caught off guard, stammered an explanation," Princess, I came to make sure you were comfortable. The air conditioning gets really cold and you kick aside the blankets in your sleep..."
