"I still see you as my boss. It will be hard to go naked before your eyes. I still feel apprehensive when you talk to me. Please give me some time to go over this."
"How much time do you need?"
"I can't really say, but I need time to get used to you. Please, let's get used to each other before we go out. Please, I will love to beg you for something. It has been difficult to say it all this while."
"What's that?" He asked.
"I want to go and see my mom."
"How is her health?" He asked almost immediately.
"It is better for now."
"I can't stop you from seeing your mom. Whatever that will bring happiness to you is my greatest delight."
Elisa moved her hands and embraced him.
"You are such a nice man. You came into my life and gave it a purpose. What can I do to please you?" She whispered into his ear.
"You know what to do." He kissed her right cheek and left. Elisa watched him as he left the sitting room. As soon as she was alone, she smiled and went to her new room. This room was hundred percent more magnificent compared to her first room. She sat on the bed and moved her eyes around the room.
"What can I do to please Alex?" She was still struggling to answer herself when she heard a knock on the door. She stood up at once and opened the door.
"What do you love to eat for dinner?" Alex asked and they smiled at each other. The passion in their eyes was so strong that they held their hands.
"I thought we planned to prepare the meal together?" She asked.
"I just realized you have been stressed up today. Don't worry. Let me prepare our dinner."
"If that is the case, I want you to prepare your favorite meal." This time, they kissed for a while before Alex went away.
It was about one hour later, the food was ready and both were at the dining table. They ate and Elisa kept stealing a glance of his face. She felt electrified whenever she took a spoonful of food into her mouth as she imagined it was prepared by someone she had started to have great affection for.
They had a great time at the dining table and when the day was getting darker, they went to their separate room. When Elisa entered her room, she felt like something was missing. She had not felt like this since she entered Alex's house. Elisa thought that by taking her bath, she would recover herself. She stood up and took her bath, but she was still battling with her thoughts. This went beyond physical satisfaction.
"You know what to do…" Alex's words repeatedly echoed in her heart.
"He is a good man, and I can't deny it. I have feelings for him. He has made my life more comfortable. I wish I had met him a long time ago. No little demon…" She smiled as she slowly said those words to herself. She took the white towel from her body and wore a pink nightgown. On her way to her bed, she received a text message on her phone.
"Lilies are more valuable in the hands of those who value their worth. You are my world, the most beautiful lady I have seen. Your thoughts are the food for my heart. I will never regret putting you first in my life. I really missed you here as I lay down."
After reading this message, Elisa could no longer hold her emotions, so she left her room. When she got to Alex's room, she knocked on the door. Alex came and opened the door. He thought Elisa will enter immediately after opening the door, instead she said,
"I lost my way, I don't know if I am in the right direction."
"Yes, yes," he smiled and gently pulled her in. "You are in the right direction, let me show you the way." He closed the door. Alex was putting on a blue nightgown and he held Elisa on her waist. They walked and stood in the middle of the room and Elisa's hands were on his shoulders.
"Where were you when I was in search of love?" He asked.
"I guess I was in someone's hands then."
"Wrong hands," he interrupted her. They moved their foreheads closer to each other and started kissing. Alex kissed her as if he hadn't kissed before. He put his right hand at her back and loosened her gown. As he was about to put Elisa on the bed, Elisa said,
"I'm still afraid. But I can't deny the fact that I am in love with you."
"Then why are you afraid?" He asked.
"The little demon in man. I once loved someone who stabbed me without looking back. He was my everything at that time and I trusted him to the end."
"I promise you, I don't have such a demon. I will treat you as my Queen."
As Alex was about to open her legs, he pressed the switch on the wall and the light went off. The darkness in the room produced a flashing thought of that fateful Wednesday's night. Elisa's fear became enormous and she stood up immediately and Alex was surprised.
"What's it?" He asked and switched on the light. She felt some trance of what happened that day.
"No, no, I can't do it." The more she tried to forget by closing her eyes, the more the vision was vivid.
"Have I lost the desire to have sex because of that beast?" She quickly thought and stepped away from the bed.
"What are you thinking of? What's going on?" Alex saw her thoughtful eyes.
"I'm having a trauma," her breath suddenly became very high and the dark image of the man who deflowered her kept leaving a torture on her brain.
"What are you hiding from me?" Alex sat on the bed and his dick which was getting ready for sex started going down.
"I'm afraid. I had a horrible night. I mean, I was betrayed by someone I love so much." Her voice suddenly dropped and was very sorrowful. And before Alex could stand up to cheer her up, she had started crying and fell on the right shoulder of Alex.
"Sorry for what happened. But the most important thing is that you are here with me. I will protect you with all I have."
"This pain is too heavy for me to bear, I wish I could pay him back."
"Who? You ex or who?" He asked. Elisa didn't answer, but pulled herself away and said,
"I want to be alone." She stepped away from him and went to her room in tears. Alex spent a few minutes in his room before going to meet Elisa in her room. Elisa was already lying on her bed with her back on the bed and tears gliding down her face.
"You don't need to hurt yourself for what happened to you in the past. How can I be of help to you to soothe the situation?" He sat at the edge of the bed and cleaned her tears.
"I wish you could look for that man who devoured me without mercy. I want to take revenge on him. Can you help me?" She held her tears for a short while.
