Sunday came quick.
"Master, whether or not you go to the Rossa mansion is entirely your own choice. However, I must warn you that if possible, keep me at your side." Sebastian helped Ciel button his clothes and helped him with his eyepatch. Ciel let out a faint "tsk".
"So have you done the research on Lady Rossa yet?"
"Yes, as you have commanded, my lord. Three years ago she'd gone to China to discuss affairs with her cousin, Xiang. Xiang owns one of the greatest companies in Taiwan, and is a business partner of Lau's."
Ciel sighed. "Knowing Lau, he must've given you some useless information." Sebastian gave the finishing touch to Ciel's overall look and helped him up.
"Well, after filtering his speech, I've understood that Xiang has backup in the black market." Sebastian handed over the cup of tea to Ciel. "And that Lady Rossa had been there to talk about underworld trading affairs. Whether she was on our side or not, it is not clear yet. It seems that when Lau entered the mansion and caught them meeting each other they were rather displeased."
Ciel sipped from his cup and put it down on the tray and Sebastian opened the door for him. He slowly walked out with Sebastian trailing him with the tray of tea.
"Pardon me, master, I seem to have made a mistake in my speech. Xiang was displeased. But Lady Rossa, on the other hand, looked rather blank, quoting what Lau had said," said Sebastian, pulling the chair to let Ciel sit. Then he stood aside to let him have his breakfast.
"Hm. Interesting." Ciel spooned a bit of the porridge and put it into his mouth. He had gotten much better thanks to Sebastian's porridge and herb tea. He shot an unconsciously affectionate glance at Sebastian and his butler smiled.
"Is there something wrong, master?"
"N-No." He continued with his breakfast.
"Oh, you have a little on your face, my lord."
Ciel flinched as Sebastian took the napkin close to his face. Then he gave in and let Sebastian wipe his mouth for him. As Sebastian gently tended to his needs, he felt that the butler's features were perfect. Flawless. Demons were beautiful, in such an evil way. His eyes softened and he attempted to reach and touch the soft, black hair-
And recoiled.
"I was distracted." He chewed on his food quickly and stood up. "Let's move on to work."
"Master."
"Ah, today is a fine day, isn't it? Perhaps I'd go for a walk before going over to Lady Rossa's."
"Master."
Ciel shivered and closed his eyes. "Yes, Sebastian? Is it about my schedules? I'm aware that we have little time before I could go to Lady Rossa's but-"
Sebastian placed both hands on his shoulders and leaned over. Ciel could feel his hot breath against his ear and shivered again. "Are you trying to avoid me, master?"
"Nonsense." Ciel gave him a wry look. "Haven't I been talking to you the whole morning?"
"Ah, but all we have been talking about were business, but not us." The unnecessary stress (in Ciel's opinion, it was unnecessary) made Ciel jump, startled.
"Wha... we have nothing else to talk about."
"Really." With a quick movement of Sebastian's hands, he flung Ciel against the wall and used a hand to pin Ciel's wrist. The free hand was used to cup Ciel's chin, and Ciel looked away.
"Let me go, dog." Ciel gritted his teeth to keep his voice from shaking.
"Yes, I am your dog, indeed." Sebastian leaned forward and licked Ciel's ear, earning a yelp from Ciel.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
"What do you think I'm doing?" Sebastian's skills of arousing him were simply perfect. His tongue trailed down Ciel's neck and he sucked gently on the flesh, whilst his master let out a gentle mewl at the sensation. Then Sebastian kissed the abused area and continued downwards-
"No! Stop it." Ciel pushed him away, blushing and panting. The temperature in the room had suddenly increased a few degrees.
"Why not?" Sebastian's finger trailed downwards, over his chest, then down to the abdomen, and at the lower part in the petruding area, in which Ciel cringed at the touch. "Your body tells me otherwise, hm. Why don't we continue what we did the other night, if we have so much time before going to Lady Rossa's?"
Ciel jumped when Sebastian mentioned "the other night". He blushed in memory of what they did, and could pretty much imagine what they hadn't continued to do. "M-Maybe we don't have that much time. There are preparations and all."
"See. And you say you're not avoiding me." Sebastian's finger stroked the aroused area affectionately and raised a knee between Ciel's legs. Ciel gasped.
"Get off me!" The knee replaced the finger and Sebastian pushed up, earning a small whimper from his young master. "Off, off me you dirty dog!"
"You say that but you're putting little to none effort in pushing me away, my lord." Sebastian chuckled. "Especially the way this part-" He slipped a skilled hand into his master's pants "and this part-" the hand trailed up to tease a hardened nub "betrays your words."
A pleasured moan escaped Ciel's throat and he quickly bit on his tongue. Oh no. What was that. No. Oh god. His butler's face was practically telling him "Give it up honey, I'm the boss." and the way Sebastian's lips quirked up-
Ah, his lips.
Well, damn it all.
Ciel gave up restraining and wrestled free of his butler's hand. He threw his arms around Sebastian and pulled him down, reducing the distance between Sebastian's lips and his own. "You are such a naughty dog." Sebastian chuckled and muttered an agreement before latching their bodies together. Soon, they found themselves indulged in a passionate and heated kiss as Sebastian's tongue roamed around to taste the sweetness of his young master's mouth.
"Master the preparations are ready- OH GOD!" A series of crashing sounds made Sebastian and Ciel break contact in utter shock.
Meyrin felt around for her glasses and Finnian was fiddling with his straw hat awkwardly, while Bard could only gape open mouthed at the strange duo. Tanaka, of course, was sitting in the corner, peacefully sipping his tea.
"P-pardon us, um, we, no, we are l-leaving-"
"What are you two males doing-"
"Uh, hahaha... pardon our intrusion-"
The three servants started talking at once and Ciel clamped his hands over his ears. "Silence!" The servants did as they were told, but -to Ciel's ultimate dread- the sexual tension in the room was so strong it was clearly impossible to make up an excuse for what just happened. The poor, horror-struck lord of the mansion blushed in realization and stormed out of the room.
"Your carriage is ready."
If looks could kill, Sebastian would've died over a thousand times already. (hey but what the hell he is a demon for fuck's sake) because Ciel's expression could stir up the strongest storms in history right at that moment. Sebastian kept a deadpanned expression and ignored the brewing storms coming his way.
The trip over to Lady Rossa's was long and hard. Why long? Because Sebastian was practically smirking the whole way towards their destination and Ciel's hands were itching to slap the grin off his face but couldn't because it would lack grace. Which made time harder to spend. Why hard? Because the way Sebastian constantly shifted to adjust his collar made Ciel catch occasional glimpses of smooth white skin, making him unbelievably irresistible.
"What are you looking at?" Sebastian's amused expression told him that he already knew the answer and Ciel shot an indignant glare towards his butler.
"I wasn't looking at you."
"I never said you were."
Great, now he looked even more amused.
Kicking his butler in the shin as revenge (and earning a small yelp to his satisfaction) he continued the journey in silence.
Upon arriving at Lady Rossa's mansion, the two quickly entered business mode. The twins that had accompanied the lady were already there to open the door for them and led them down the dark corridor.
"This way, please, Earl Phantomhive. Our lady had been looking forward to your arrival. She also asks about your health." The twins said in harmony.
"I am all fine, and I will be sure to tell her that."
The door to another room was opened and Lady Rossa stood beside the window, smiling beautifully at the young lord.
"Are you well?"
"I am in good health, thank you."
"Let's sit. Please prepare tea for our guests."
"Yes, my lady."
"Oh, and," She cast a sweet glance at Sebastian. "Would you mind waiting outside the door? I have private matters to discuss with Lord Phantomhive. Alone."
Ciel closed his eyes and let Sebastian decide. He was fully confident of his butler, so really being here or not doesn't matter. As long as he calls, his butler will arrive. He was already aware that Lady Rossa was up to no good, and that he had to be absolutely careful around her. But he had to trap her in his net and provide evidence to the Queen before doing so. If not, the Queen would no doubt be displeased that he is accusing one of her favorite subjects.
"I will leave, then." Sebastian was also aware of his own abilities and if his master were in danger, he will sense it, and he will save him.
When the door closed shut, Lady Rossa licked her lips. "Well child, the demon is gone. What will you do?"
"Demon?" Ciel felt a wave of fear wash over him, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, his lips stretched into a wry smile. "Who?"
"Feigning innocence is child's play to you, is it not? Oh, pardon me, you are a child." The satirical tone she used did not match her kind looking features.
Ciel did not waver. "That is what makes it easy." He leaned back into his chair and propped his head on his right hand. "But you, my lady, are not a child. Is feigning innocence hard for you?"
The woman blinked. "I'm sorry, I don't think I understand what you mean, my lord."
"Perfect answer. Now tell me your relationships with Xiang."
"My cousin? Hm. A smart underworld negotiator and trader, that is what he is. I helped him import drugs into England without the notice of Queen Victoria because there are certain channels even the Queen's watchdogs cannot sniff out." She got up and used a finger to jerk up Ciel's chin. "Including you, sweetie."
There was a loud bang outside the door and Ciel jumped, looking at the door in shock.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you."
Her slender fingers turned Ciel's head towards her as she leaned down to trace a tongue across Ciel's lips and he flinched. He reached for his eyepatch but Lady Rossa gently stopped him, eyes dancing with bloodlust and sadistic pleasure. He gave a cry when her grip tightened, her strength hardly feline.
"You're not the only smartass prodigy who has a demon as the fucking butler. And I have two. What are you going to do, you shitty excuse of a dog?"
