"What?!" I yelled.

After the lady had so kindly given me her blood, allowing my wounds to heal properly and my pain to decrease, I began to put my clothes back on. She lit another cigarette and reclined on her sofa, exuding an air of relaxed authority. I moved with careful consideration as I dressed. Her words sliced through the ambient silence, catching me off guard. Her latest remark was unexpected, sending a shiver down my spine and making my heart race. The room seemed to close in around me, her gaze unyielding, and her intentions were an unsettling mix of kindness and command.

This was something else.

"If you are staying here, dear, then you will have to work, and it just so happens that I could use a new butler. Who better than a handsome lupoaică who fits the bill to a tee?" the lady remarked with an incredulous smile as she took a drag from her lit cigarette.

"A fucking butler? I have no idea how to act like a goddamn butler, sugar!" I snarled.

The Lady rolled her eyes.

"My last butler foolishly stole from me and thought they could get away with it, so now I need a new one. Who better than you?" The Lady asked.

"Literally anyone else!" I replied, throwing up my arms which just so happened to be holding the pants that I was putting on...

The Lady raised one of her neatly trimmed eyebrows, and her eyes flicked down for a moment before they came back to meet my own.

I scrambled to the floor to pick them up in my own embarrassment.

Fuck me!

"I have a need for a butler, and you are here. I don't understand why it needs to be complicated. You may not have all the necessary skills required, but I'm confident you can learn on the go." The Lady replied.

"My Lady, you don't even know my name. You literally just picked me up off your doorstep. Are you sure you can even trust me?" I asked.

"Hmmmm... you're right. I don't, and I might not, but what I do know is that you are a powerful Lycan, and you could have tried your best to kill my daughters and me at any time, but here you stand, mostly in control of your emotions. I assume you have no teacher?" The Lady asked.

"Teacher? For what? No one really bothers with that in the village, sugar." I responded, finally fully clothed.

"Not for schooling. I mean for your abilities." The Lady said, annoyed.

"...No, I didn't have anyone to teach me how to control the beast," I answered.

"And that is what I mean, dear. You are in control. You have not shifted once since coming here." The Lady said.

As we were talking, I got distracted as those red lips of hers wrapped around the cigarette. I couldn't stop my gaze... I couldn't stop myself from imagining...

No! Are you stupid, Andy? What the hell am I thinking?

"Must I remind you that it is impolite to stare?" The Lady said, humor lacing her tone.

"I didn't see you averting those eyes of yours when I was naked, sugar." I quipped with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

"This is my castle. I'm allowed to stare at anything I want." The Lady replied.
