Help Me Undress

Without any other words exchanged between them, Amayah went to her suitcase to choose her outfit for the day and went into the bathroom to get ready.

After a while, she came out of the bathroom fully dressed. She went to the bed where Nolan was still sitting and asked him, "Do you need any help in getting ready?"

Amayah had never taken care of a disabled person before, so she was unsure of what to do and what not to do, so she could only ask to be sure.

Nolan just sneered at her question, "Are you sure you could help me get ready?"

She looked at his healthy stature and her tone turned determined. "Yes, I'm sure. Just let me know what you need help with."

After a short while, he laughed in irony. "If that's the case, help me prepare for the bath."

Thinking that the job he gave her was that simple, she reconsidered his foul image in her mind and gave him a plus point.

She replied, "Alright, I'll go and run you a bath," then turned around and left for the bathroom.

Nolan's eyes narrowed as he pondered something. He assumed she would decline the task. Who, after all, wants to be responsible for a disabled person's every need? Even the servants in the house don't look after his daily necessities.

In the beginning, right after his accident, his grandfather hired some servants to help him with his daily needs, but none stayed for more than a day due to his bad temper. As time went by, even though he struggled at first, he eventually learned to do things on his own. He once even slipped in the bathroom while attempting to take a bath and injured himself, but even then no one came to his aid.

The sound of the bathroom door opening brought him out of his reverie.

"The bath is ready. Let me help you up." Amayah said as she went toward the bed.

He obediently let her hold his hand and lead him to the bathroom.

After they were in the bathroom, she was about to turn around and leave since she thought that her task was done here, but suddenly his voice brought her back to earth.

"Help me undress too."

Hearing that, Amayah flushed red like a tomato in an instant. 'Did she hear him right? Did he really mean what he said? Yesterday, he wasn't even ready to let her help with cleaning up his room. Then what happened suddenly this morning?'

Wait…

She knew it. She had doubts before as to how this demon of a man let her go with such a simple task when he only asked her to prepare him a bath, but thinking that he had improved, she gave him a chance, but look what he did in the end.

She took away all of his positive points and gave him double the negative points in her heart. He had not changed; he is still the atrocious monster that he was.

Giving her luck one last try she asked him, "Umm… do you need help undressing?"

He could feel her obvious shyness through her voice. He didn't know why, but hearing that voice, he felt little tickles in his heart. Deep in his heart, he had this urge to bully her even more. Without realizing his heart's little intentions himself, his mouth replied for him with "Hmm."

Amayah turned even redder upon hearing his affirmation. She'd never touched another man so closely, let alone undressed him herself in this close proximity. She had also never been in a relationship before because she never had the time for one. Whatever time she got after her studies, she spent it working part-time.

Concluding that he only wanted to make things difficult for her so that she would give up, she thought, 'Nothing comes easily in life and in return for her better future, she could at least take care of him for the time being.'

She took a deep breath, training her brain to think that she was only helping a disabled person.

With her head lowered, determined she took small steps towards him and extended her hands forward to unbutton his shirt one by one. While unbuttoning, she didn't dare to look up at his body directly. She had her head lowered the whole time with an attentive expression.

She was so close that her head was right under Nolan's chin, and Nolan could smell her shampoo in such close proximity. For an heir who had grown up in riches, Nolan could tell just from the smell that it was one of those cheap shampoos. However, it still had a really fresh and soothing smell to it. He couldn't help but take a little deeper breath, feeling peace.

After she was done unbuttoning his shirt, she moved to his back and removed his shirt. The whole time, there was no sentiment seen in those pairs of clear and pure eyes. If not for the deep blush on her face, one would've thought that she didn't know the difference between his body and hers. Her movements were so serious that it felt as though she was doing homework in class.

After that, she took off his watch.

At last, Amayah retracted her hand in slight uneasiness in the last defense. "You… can you wear this while taking a bath?" She said while pointing a finger towards his pants.

Nolan knew what she was referring to but still played the dumb card. "Wear what?"

Amayah then realized that he couldn't see. With stutters in her voice, she said, "Yo..your pa–pants."

Nolan responded, with a tinge of wickedness in his voice. "I can't wash some places if I wear this."

His response shocked her and made her look up with widened eyes. At that instant, she noticed his toned upper body. Even though he hadn't stepped outside his room after the accident, his body was well maintained.

She averted her eyes instantly and gulped. She thought, 'Was this guy serious? Did he really have no sense of shame?'

Helpless, Amayah could only nod slightly and reply, "Hmm… That seems about right."

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, she stretched her hand out with great courage. Her hand was slightly trembling from shyness. She first touched the button on his trousers and tried unbuttoning it. It took a few tries due to her trembling hands. Then she unzipped it. Then came the tough part: removing it.

She paused for a while and repeated in her head that she was only helping a disabled person. With that, she proceeded and pulled his trousers off. After she did, she looked immediately away from his naked body and helped him into the bathtub.
