"Someone will see us, Alex. Please put me down," Isabella said in an edgy voice while she was held by two big muscular arms, and they arrived at the door.
"Relax, this is my home. I'll do whatever I want. People can close their eyes or they can go blind," Alexander replied straightaway with a flurry, leaving no room for Bella's rebuttal.
Isabella stared at him with smiling eyes. Because hell ya! She was under stress; he was cracking jokes.
As they got in, the butler came running to them and asked, giving a bow first, "What happened to the lady?"
Because Bella was hiding her face on Alexander's chest, which made the young butler think Bella had an accident.
Bella turned stiff in Alexander's arm while blushing, closing her eyes tight. She did not want the butler to know that she was awake. But she had no confidence if the young Butler would leave without getting a proper answer.
"Don't worry! She is alright. You can go and sleep too," Alexander said, dismissing the young man who was in his sleepwear with messy hair and the sleep was still lingering in his eyes. Regardless, the concern for Bella in his voice was genuine.
"Alright! Master. If you need anything else, call me right away," The butler said and looked once at the girl in concern but when he perked up at his master, those purple eyes just thumb his heart and he understood. A Bow was quickly given to Alexander by the butler who didn't want to stand a minute longer. He turned and scurried away from the hall.
However, the door behind Alexander and Bella was not closed. So the butler halted his steps and turned to close the door. At that time Alexander had climbed the stairs with Bella, who finally took a breath of relief. She opened her eyes and pursed her lips in thoughts. Does she actually sleepwalk? But when does it start?
And Elizabeth? Was it just a dream? Bella asked herself. In the nick of time, Alexander put her on the bed with her legs out and they dangled.
"I need to wash my feet," said Bella, looking at her feet, which were smeared with mud. Even the bandage turned dirty and it needed to be taken off.
"Sit," one profound word left Alexander's mouth that made Bella look up and think about the reason.
Instead, she saw him walking to the washroom. Bella stared at the way Alex went. Immediately, she heard the water pouring out into a bucket. She was bewildered. What was he doing with his clothes on? Bella pondered.
And then Alexander walked out with a bucket.
Bella blinked once, then her eyes forgot to blink. She didn't understand what was the meaning of him taking out a bucket of water. Was he going to do something? And what? he can do anything in his room. Bella's thoughts silently asked.
"What do you want to do?" Bella questioned, as it had become enough for her to think within herself and she needed an answer.
"Your feet need cleaning," Alexander answered and came in front of her. He gave her a little smile look and put the bucket down.
"So!! Don't tell me you want me to wash my feet here. The floor will be wet. I can walk and there's a washroom two feet away," Bella said in disbelief. She wasn't a sick person, and it was just mud. Besides, she didn't like wet floors, and the morning had time to arrive.
Poor young Butler went to sleep and looked pretty tired though. They shouldn't bother him to clean the floor.
She startled when Alexander closed that distance, drawing his face closer above Bella's lip, and the tip of their nose touched each other. "Sush! You are noisy."
Bella smelled alcohol on his breath, which she hadn't smelled before, especially when he carried her. Perhaps he consumed a little. Bella thought.
Her lips shut tight. Her eyes followed Alexander as he moved away from her and then glided down to her knees.
"Woah! No, no, no.." She almost understood what was going to happen and she would not let him do this.
"Listen! This is too much," Isabella said, grabbing his shoulder with her palm gave him a push that couldn't even make him look up at her.
Alexander held on to her left foot, which was wrapped in a bandage, and now her foot was about to exhale. Alexander slowly untied the bandage and Bella noticed that her foot was slightly swollen, but the thing that frightened her was at the bottom of the foot. She wanted her foot to be healed. Suddenly, one scene crashed into her head where she saw Elizabeth's rotten foot. She didn't want something like this to happen to Elizabeth. To a player, legs are life.
When Bella was thinking of that dream, someone's eyes stared at her and a smirk lifted upon his face. One should pay what they sow.
Alexander looked at the smooth jade foot and placed it in the water. The coldness quickly ran from the tip of her toe to her head and she darted back to Alexander. The trance shattered and her heart fell into those glowing purple eyes who were in the mood for fun.
"You are beautiful, Bella, just like Rose, know how to attract people. Do you believe a devil can serve a human? Alexander paused. His hand was under her feet, rubbing the dirt away.
Bella shook her head like a doll as his words rang that scratched the surface of her heart. It was like she was awestruck by Alexander's lips the way they were open and closed as if they were singing a certain song that lulled her.
"You make me do it," Alexander proceeded with his enticing face as his thumb pressed into the bottom of her foot, making her eyes roll back. As his hand massaged more, the pleasure doubled, and she couldn't stop herself from clutching the sheet under her.
"Alex," a nervous and weak voice called but couldn't continue as one hand was continuing to give her pleasure that she didn't know could be given by touching feet.
"One day you will serve me," Alexander whispered with his eyes scanning Bella's flushed face.
"Say yes, Bella," the voice demanded.
Two Hazel eyes looked down with water in them. She didn't know the meaning, but couldn't have the power to negate it. Her body was aching to get more and for that, she had to obey him.
"Yes, Alex. I will serve you." And the deal was made.
