Coffee plans

Ethan had thought his first day at work would be a breeze, but it was proving to be anything but easy. Standing by the coffee machine, he prepared yet another cup of coffee for Lucien. It felt more like he was an errand boy rather than someone here to do meaningful work. The frustration gnawed at him, making him question why he had agreed to this in the first place.

He sighed heavily, glancing at the clock before making his way to Lucien's office once again. The heat of the afternoon made the task of fetching coffee seem even more ridiculous. "Why does he need coffee on such a hot day?" he muttered to himself, pushing the doors open without bothering to knock, feeling a mix of irritation and resignation.

Lucien looked up from his desk, a smile spreading across his face as he saw Ethan enter. He had been sending Ethan on these trivial errands all day, enjoying the control he had over him. There was something about watching Ethan's vulnerability that amused him.

Ethan approached slowly, careful not to spill the coffee that was filled to the brim. His nerves were evident in the slight tremble of his hands, a combination of anxiety and the heat from the cup he carried. Lucien's smile grew, noticing Ethan's discomfort.

Ethan approached slowly, careful not to spill the coffee that was filled to the brim as per Lucien's order. Lucien, however, had other plans. As Ethan neared, Lucien subtly extended his foot, causing Ethan to stumble. The coffee cup tilted precariously, and hot liquid poured over Lucien.

"Watch where you're going!" Lucien snapped, his tone harsh. Ethan's face flushed with embarrassment and fear.

"I-I'm so sorry, Mr. Belmont. It was an accident," Ethan stammered, grabbing a napkin to help clean up the mess.

Lucien smirked inwardly, satisfied with his little scheme. He enjoyed having this kind of power over Ethan, using every opportunity to remind him of his place.

"It seems accidents are a habit of yours, Mr. Pierce," Lucien said coldly, brushing Ethan's hand away and standing up. "Get someone to clean this up immediately. And be more careful next time."

Ethan nodded quickly, still blushing furiously. He rushed to get cleaning supplies, leaving Lucien with a satisfied grin on his face.

"And wait!" Lucien called out to Ethan who was rushing to the door,he turned around and whipped his head back to hear what the other man to say.

"And bring me a change of clothes i can't sit in the office all wet"

"A change of clothes?" Ethan asked curious where he would get a change of clothes so soon.

"Ask my assistant, hurry up,i need to get back to work" he said turning back to his computer.

Ethan nodded, walking out without noticing the little smirk on Lucien's face.

A few minutes later, Ethan returned with a fresh set of clothes and cleaning supplies. He carefully placed the clothes on a nearby chair and knelt down to clean the spilled coffee, his movements precise and efficient. Lucien watched him intently, his piercing gaze never leaving Ethan.

Ethan could feel Lucien's eyes on him, making him even more self-conscious. He hurried to finish cleaning, eager to escape the intense scrutiny. As he stood up and turned to leave, Lucien's voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Wait," Lucien commanded. "Help me change."

Ethan's eyes widened in surprise and embarrassment. "Help you change?"

"Yes, help me change. I can't do it alone with this mess," Lucien said, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Ethan's face turned a deep shade of red as he approached Lucien hesitantly. He picked up the fresh clothes and stepped closer, his hands trembling slightly. Lucien stood up, and Ethan couldn't help but notice the powerful presence of the man before him.

As Ethan helped Lucien remove his coat, he tried to avoid staring, but his eyes kept drifting to Lucien's well-toned physique. Lucien's shirt came off next, revealing a chiseled torso that made Ethan's heart race. Lucien noticed Ethan's reaction and smirked, enjoying the effect he had on him.

"What's the matter, Ethan? Never seen a man's body before?" Lucien teased, his voice low and provocative.

Ethan's blush deepened, and he quickly averted his gaze. "I-I'm just trying to help, Mr. Belmont."

Lucien chuckled softly. "Relax, Ethan. You're doing fine."

Ethan carefully handed Lucien the fresh shirt, trying to keep his composure. Lucien took his time, slipping into the new shirt slowly, making sure Ethan got an eyeful. Ethan couldn't help but steal glances, his mind racing with thoughts he didn't want to acknowledge.

Lucien's smirk widened as he buttoned up the shirt. "Thank you, Ethan. I appreciate your... assistance."

Ethan nodded, his mouth dry. "You're welcome, Mr. Belmont."

As Ethan turned to leave once more, Lucien's voice stopped him again. "One more thing, Ethan."

Ethan turned back, his heart pounding. "Yes, Mr. Belmont?"

Lucien stepped closer, his eyes locking onto Ethan's. "Don't think I didn't notice your... admiration. Next time, try to be a bit more subtle."

Ethan's face burned with embarrassment. "I-I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again."

Lucien smiled, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. "Good. Now, get back to work."

Ethan nodded quickly and hurried out of the office, his mind a whirlwind of confusion and embarrassment. As he left, Lucien watched him go, a knowing smile playing on his lips. He had enjoyed their little interaction more than he cared to admit, and he was already looking forward to the next time he could push Ethan's buttons.

But as Ethan walked out of the office, he couldn't shake the feeling of being toyed with. Lucien's amusement at his expense was becoming clearer, and it made Ethan's blood boil. But he couldn't afford to lose this job. Not with everything on the line.

He leaned back in his chair, relaxing a bit, and dialed a number on his phone, bringing it to his ear with a smirk.
