She woke up a bit dazed. She looked around the room, rubbing her eyes, trying to recall where she was. Slowly memories of yesterday recalled in her mind little by little. She grabbed a pillow and screamed into it. What the f.u.c.k was she thinking of losing her cool manner like that? The embarrassment was enough to send her back under the duvet. How sweet of him, though, to tuck her into bed like this. She felt like a love-struck teenager. She kicked her legs in the air, excited, and got the energy to get up.

She noticed a paper on her bedside table and grabbed it immediately intrigued.

Good morning.

I had to rush to work to resolve some issues. I'll be back soon.

-Maddie

A small smile made its way to her face. This note wasn't much, but it somehow made her feel so good. Her day was already brightened up. She took a quick shower, threw on some jeans and a t-shirt, and went downstairs.

She found two maids giggling in the kitchen. They spared her a glance and went back to their gossip. She didn't really care about that. One of them stopped abruptly and gave her such a scornful look, which stunned her. She approached her, slowly trying to remain calm. She may have tolerated this before, but she was a different person now. She noticed the surprise on both of their faces. They made a scamper, but she slowly tutted.

"Don't run away. Come, come." She muttered calmly, gesturing for them to come. Suddenly they were nervous, or were they scared? She couldn't tell for sure. She was slightly towering over them, which just added to her feeling of authority.

"Care to tell me what you were whispering about as I was passing by?"

They both look at the floor, ashamed. She looked at the one who shot her the dirty look.

"You." She nudged her shoulder. Did it make her come off as a bully? Maybe. She took a step back, intimidated.

"Care to tell me what that look was about?" She was almost shouting now. She shook her head, scared, and shrank even further into herself. She let the silence pull on for a few minutes.

"Let this be a warning. If I don't start getting some respect from you starting today, there's going to be some serious trouble. Am I understood?"

They both nodded quickly.

"I asked a question!"

"Yes, ma'am!" they both shouted simultaneously.

"Good," She smirked satisfied. "Let the rest know. The next person I sense even a smidgen of disrespect from... Let us just say, best-case scenario, you lose your job." She gave them one intimidating look, looking them up and down then continued her way. She abruptly stopped, suddenly feeling like being pampered.

"On second thought, " She turned and managed to stop them in their tracks just before they disappeared, "You, what's your name?" She asked, referring to the disrespectful one.

"Diana," she whispered under her breath.

"Diana," She tested it on her tongue. "Go fetch me some breakfast. A Western breakfast."

A few hours later, she was relaxing at the pool soaking up the sun rays when her ringtone pierced through the silence, and she checked the caller ID, Maddie was flashing. A smile instantly crept on her face as butterflies swarmed into her stomach. She answered it, feeling like a nervous wreck.

"Hello?" His smooth voice sounded in her ear. She squeezed her t.h.i.g.hs together.

"Hello," She said softly.

"How are you?" He asked her gently.

"I'm okay. And you?"

"I'm good. Sorry I couldn't call earlier. Are you free this evening?"

"Yes," She muttered breathlessly.

"Good." He sounded happy. "Dress up. I'll come and pick you up at six."

"Okay." A wide smile had formed on her face.

"See you later, then." He muttered and hung up.

Yay. They were going on a date!

She quickly got up and rushed upstairs. She had roughly four hours to prepare. She took her tame to shave, from her legs to her armpits to her lady parts... She means she never knows where the night will end, right? She thought to herself, cheekily. She soaked herself in the bathtub for half an hour, got out, then rinsed herself, and went to start the task of choosing the perfect outfit for the night.

She went through all her closets, tried on a couple of outfits until she finally settled on the perfect dress. It was a beautiful long-sleeved black dress. It had a plunging neckline and a slit on the left side right up to the mid-t.h.i.g.h. It was form-fitting and made her feel so in her element. She matched it with her Louboutin red bottoms, grabbed her red purse, put it aside, and then settled down on her vanity to do her hair, makeup, and jewelry.

Let's just say after all was done, and she was very pleased with herself while looking at the mirror. She brought herself to her full height and admired her reflection on the full-length mirror. She grabbed her phone and saw there were only a few minutes to six pm. She grabbed her purse, slipped her phone in it, and headed downstairs to await Maddie's arrival.

Just as she got down, Maddie came in. His eyes immediately found her and held her gaze. He slowly looked down, taking in her outfit. The look he was giving her was making her feel like he was slowly undressing. When his eyes finally met hers, the fire in them was tangible. Suddenly the air felt dense, and she couldn't bring herself to move from where she stood.

"You look beautiful," Maddie said in a husky voice as he stalked towards her. At this point, her heartbeat was so loud in her ears. She feared everyone in the house could hear it too. She licked her lips, which felt so dry, and his eyes immediately followed the action.

"Thank you." She managed to let out with the great effort.

"It is taking me my all not to take you right here, mi Amor." he murmured huskily as he nuzzled gently against the neck. "I got a reservation in some special place."

He settled both his hands on her waist then pulled back to look at her. She was blushing so hard. She was disturbed by all this attention - it was s.e.x.u.a.lly frustrating. She was having something being dangled so tantalizingly in front of her. This wasn't fair.

"Your royal chariot awaits you, milady."
