The Erotic Artiste

CHAPTER 34

Evelyn sat in serene comfort within the lavish living room of Akeno's opulent penthouse, patiently passing her time while waiting for his much-anticipated arrival. The billionaire had been unexpectedly delayed at work due to a significant and pressing matter with one of his business partners, which had taken longer than he had initially anticipated.

Mr. Hiro: You can make yourself comfortable and take a refreshing shower, darling. The maid will be available to cater to your needs if you find yourself wanting anything to eat or drink. There are clean clothes for you in my closet. I might be running a bit late, so don't worry about me.

Taking his words to heart, Evelyn settled in and enjoyed the attentive service from the maid, who brought her delicious snacks and refreshing drinks to enjoy. After satisfying her hunger, she made her way to Akeno's bedroom, a space she had grown increasingly familiar with, to take a cool shower. As she opened his expansive closet, which was nearly the size of her entire bedroom back home, she discovered a selection of new women's clothing, stylish shoes, and fresh underwear neatly arranged in one corner. There were even new toothbrushes and clean towels available, indicating that he had prepared for her overnight stays. It was evident that he expected her to spend the night whenever she visited.

However, a sudden thought crossed Evelyn's mind, causing her to frown slightly. 'Or perhaps these items are simply for any of the other women he may end up having over,' she pondered.

Taking a step back from the closet, she began to speak to herself softly, wrestling with her thoughts. "And yet, I promised him absolute loyalty according to those damned rules. I don't recall him ever mentioning anything about him needing to stay loyal to me as the dominant partner in this arrangement."

After a moment of contemplation, Evelyn stepped out of the closet and moved to sit on his large, inviting bed. She found herself staring at the intricate carpet for an extended period, lost in her thoughts. She was uncertain about how to feel regarding this situation. It dawned on her that Akeno likely had other women in his life. Although she was fully aware that she wasn't technically 'dating' him, the idea of being part of a modern harem unsettled her as she thought about it more deeply.

So what would she do now? Would she consider putting an abrupt end to something that had only just begun to unfold? Evelyn reflected on all the advantages she had been enjoying simply by being his protégé and secret favorite thus far.

'No. I refuse to put an end to this,' she resolved internally. 'It may wound my pride, but it undeniably boosts my career. Besides, I am genuinely deriving pleasure from this entire experience. So what if he has other women? Or how can I be entirely certain he even has other women? I shouldn't overthink this, Eve.'

Suddenly, a wave of realization washed over Evelyn as her mind flooded with all the advantages that stemmed from her unconventional relationship with Akeno. From him serving as her new muse to the incredible opportunities he was creating for her career and overall comfort, it was a lot to consider.

"I'll be just fine," she concluded with a resigned sigh before standing up and making her way to the bathroom for a cool, refreshing shower. Afterward, she planned to slip into a comfortable pair of home shorts and a casual t-shirt.

...

Approximately an hour later, Evelyn found herself seated in the living room, engrossed in a show on the large, high-definition television when Akeno finally walked in through the main doors. She immediately stood up to greet him with a warm smile. Just as she was about to step forward to give him a kiss, he spoke up.

"Give me just a few minutes, sweetheart. Allow me to take a quick shower, okay? I had an incredibly long day, and I'm feeling a little sweaty, mm?"

"Oh, of course! No problem at all. Go ahead, I'll be right here waiting for you," she replied with a nod.
