Sebastian enters the room as silently as the wind. Sophia is unaware and backs up right into him.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't see you there."
"No matter."
He has that piercing look in his eyes again that made Sophia feel warmth on her skin.
"Sebastian, Sebastian, Sebastian you are really going to get it if you don't stop teasing me." She says boldly.
"What exactly do you mean Ms. Sophia?" asks Sebastian
Sophia glances down at the front of Sebastian's trousers searching for any sign of an erection. She really needed to know if she was having the same effect on him.
"My face is quite a journey up from where your eyes are set Ms. Sophia." Says Sebastian
He draws so close that Sophia can catch the scent of his wonderful cologne. Sebastian smelled so clean like he had just jumped out of a hot soapy bath. Everything from his hair to his clothing was always in perfect order.
Sophia lusted after him and needed him to touch her body if only once and if only for a moment that would be okay. Any type of contact would be more than appreciated. In tune with her thoughts Sebastian lifts one of his gloved fingers and presses it against Sophia's moist lips. He doesn't stop there though he slides the finger past her lips and into her mouth up to his knuckle. Sophia can feel the soft material of his glove graze her tongue while sliding into her mouth.
"Ms. Sophia are you attempting to arouse me?" Asks Sebastian in the calmest tone.
Sophia finds herself sucking gently on the inserted finger. Her excitement was growing more by the minute. She just can't stop herself she was pleasing Sebastian giving him what she knows the both of them want. Sophia wanted to shut her eyes and savor this moment but was too afraid Mey-Rin would come bursting in again. There had to be a more private place that they could give into their red hot fleshly desires. Sophia pulls back from Sebastian's finger after it almost touches the back of her throat. A line of spit comes out with his finger and lands on her chin. Now his eyes have changed, they seemed redder than any time before.
"I can be very dangerous if threatened or aroused." He states.
Sebastian inspects his finger. The gloved is soaked and sticks to his long finger.
Heavily aroused by this act Sophia breaths deeply and waits for Sebastian to make the next move.
"Should we lock the door?" Sophia dares to ask.
"Not here." Sebastian almost whispers.
He removes his glove and uses a handkerchief to dry his finger. Even his hand was flawless except for one thing.
"There's a pentagram on the back of your hand." Says Sophia in shock.
"Now that you know my secret will you run along and tell?" He asks.
Sophia shakes her head immediately.
"No I won't tell anyone. You can trust me."
"We shall see Ms. Sophia."
"Do you mind if I ask why?"
"Why do you suppose it's there?"
"Well I have no idea….Unless you're into witchcraft or something."
Sophia shrugs both shoulders and laughs at her own suggestion but Sebastian doesn't even smile.
"Clean yourself and go to the kitchen to help prepare lunch."
Sebastian doesn't even look at her as he tosses the handkerchief in her direction. Why had he suddenly become so cold again? Sophia quickly cleans the saliva from her chin and looks up to Sebastian to give back his handkerchief but he's gone. His sweet fresh scent still lingers in the air. Sophia closes her eyes and inhales while clutching his handkerchief to her chest.
"Sophia."
Baldroy calls her name from the door of the study. Sophia is so wrapped in her memory of what happened between her and Sebastian that she barely snaps out of it in time. She couldn't let anyone know especially since Mey-Rin was a psychopath that wasn't going to give up on Sebastian no matter what.
Sophia quickly tucks the handkerchief into her pocket.
"What did you say?" she asks.
"Are you okay?" asks Baldroy
"I'm fine."
"I've been looking everywhere for you."
"Why?"
"I kinda wanted to know if you'd help me make lunch."
Baldroy scratches his head with a lost look on his face. Sophia smiles at him.
"No problem. Sure."
"Great."
The lost look leaves his face and is replaced by a genuine smile. Sophia goes with him to the kitchen. On the way Baldroy displays an interest.
"So you're pretty young huh?"
"It's not polite to ask a lady her age."
"I wasn't asking."
"Good."
Sophia smiles again just to let Baldroy know that she isn't offended.
"You know Sophia I hope you aren't still mad about this morning. I still think you're a great girl."
Baldroy rubs his neck and looks away.
"No I am over that and I think you're nice too."
"Good."
Baldroy claps both hands together as they reach the kitchen and begins making eye contact again.
"We are preparing a bourbon steak and a salad with red wine vinaigrette for tonight."
"That sounds delicious."
"I can't take all the credit Sebastian comes up with most of the menu."
Just as Sophia is feeling better Mey-Rin comes into the kitchen. Sophia almost allows a bored sigh to escape her lips but thinks better not. Besides she had something over Mey-Rin and his name was Sebastian.
"Did you finish all of your chores Sophia? I don't want to get in trouble because of your shortcoming!"
Mey-Rin yells at her.
"Yes Mey-Rin I did and frankly I have no idea why you made it seem so hard. Even a monkey could do them."
Baldroy doesn't hold back his laugh.
Mey-Rin crosses her arms over her chest.
"I hope you don't keep messing up or you might be doing them all week."
"Oh really Mey-Rin?"
"Yeah really!" she shouts.
"Mey-Rin for the second time now why are you shouting? Asks Sebastian from the entrance to the kitchen.
"Don't ask me." Says Baldroy
He throws up his hands and goes the other way.
"Oh Sebastian. Nevermind." Says Mey-Rin
Sophia doesn't miss the love struck look in Mey-Rin's eyes. It makes Sophia want to puke. This was going to be a long day.
