Are You Mine? (Sebastian x Reader) Book 2 {Completed}

Chapter 4- The Earl and His Butler Counter

(Your POV)

"Grell!?" I shout.
Grell springs from behind the kitchen door.
"Surprise!" he shouts.
Ash turns and grumbles.
"I thought that I would never invite a Reaper to join in on the fun, but he applies special qualities," Ash says.
"Yeah! You took my precious Sebas-chan from me! When you die dramatically, Bassy will want a shoulder to cry on. Mine will be conveniently there," Grell chimes in.
"When I die!?" I jump up.
Ash groans.
"Don't get your dress in a knot. Grell is just exaggerating a bit," he sighs. "Grell get the dinner."
Grell frowns. "I agreed to help, not be your servant!"
"Grell!"
"Ok!" Grell quickly says as he runs back through the kitchen door.
I slowly ease back into the chair.
"I thought you might like a retry of the meal," Ash smirks.
Grell comes in with two steaming plates of our meal.
"Many Brits don't like American food. You continue to surprise me Lady _______," he says as he slips a bite of steak past his lips.

After we eat, Ash leads me to my bedroom.
"Sleep well, ______," he whispers flirtatiously.
I blush as I open the door to my room and enter.
"And I saw you in my room," he calls as he continues down the hall. I close the door and blush. I slip into a nightgown and climb into bed. I long for the familiar feel of of Sebastian holding me close. I miss him.
"Sebastian..." I whisper into the night, hoping somehow, he hears me.

(Sebastian's POV)

I crawl into bed. I lay there unsleeping. One, because demons don't sleep. Two, because it's hard work being a butler and downtime is nice. Three, because I miss her. If I had a soul, I would sell it to get her back. I'm sure Ciel would, too.
I'm sure once they come to their senses and forget, they will be best friends. At least, they must tolerate looking at each other and living in the same manor. I can't leave Ciel or be without _______. I know that she's afraid of being without me. She whispers to me at night, her fears of dying and leaving me behind. I always calm her saying that won't happen for a while, that now is what matters.

It still worries me though. Nothing would feel right without her. Tomorrow, I must get her back into my grasp. Starting with Queen Elizabeth.

I barely say Ciel's name when he jumps awake. His contract mark shining bright. He must have had trouble sleeping with _______ gone. I had to keep myself busy as to not worry. It doesn't take long for me to get Ciel ready. He seems eager. He's eating breakfast before seven.

"Get a midmorning tea ready and expect guests," Ciel says.

"Who are we welcoming today?"

"You will soon know. Now go."

Ciel seems anxious. Around ten, the doorbell rings. I realize who's here. It's been a year since I've last seen these swine. I still relish the feeling of slicing Claude's throat.

I open the door for Trancy and Claude.

"Welcome, sirs," I sneer at them.
"Where's Ciel? I came here to talk to him!" Alois screeches.

I lead them to the study. What the hell was Ciel thinking?

"This way," I say as I point into the study.
