The Sins Of The Past

Chapter Two

Chapter Two

I was cleaning Sir Ares' room in a hurry. I wiped the bedside tables, drawers, mirrors and headboard. I was like Supergirl, wiping everything in a flash.

I'm done here... I have to go now. He'll be here in a minute and it won't be good if he finds a maid in his room. It's against the house rules.

I grabbed the rags and the furniture spray cleaner to go. But I stopped when I heard someone walking outside the bedroom door.

My goodness. It could be Sir Ares.

The doorknob rattled and my instinct told me to hide. I quickly ran to the nearest window and hid behind the thick floor length curtain.

This is so stupid. I hope he won't catch me hiding here.

Ares was inside the room now. I could hear him moving towards the bed. I peeped a little and finally had a glimpse of him. He was standing near the bed. His back was facing me.

He stood there, tall, lean and very confident. He was scanning the room, then removed his jacket and threw it on the bed. He really had muscular arms and a powerful set of shoulders. His profile spoke of power and ageless strength. Even his movements were swift, full of grace and virility.

Then he faced towards where I was hiding.

Uh-oh...

I immediately sank into the darkness of the curtain so he wouldn't notice me. After awhile, I peeped again. He was taking his white shirt off, making me blink my eyes several times. He was absolutely handsome with an attractive male physique. He's so gorgeous.

He shook his head and then smiled. Maybe he was thinking about something funny. Then he unbuttoned his faded blue jeans and removed them.

I can't take this anymore.... I swear I'm going to scream if he'll remove his boxer briefs.

AND HE DID.

Oh my God! I clasped my mouth with my hands. Preventing myself from screaming.

He's naked! I saw his gorgeous naked back and sexy butt.

He was moving towards the bathroom. I guessed he was going to take a shower. Oh God, please let him take a shower now so I can go.

I was sweating profusely.

I have to get out of here or I'm going to faint. I can't breathe.

I heard the water running in the bathroom. So I slowly went down on the floor and crawled behind the bed. The bathroom door was closed, so I stood up and ran to the door, and very slowly I opened it.

At last I'm free.

At eight in the morning, I was reading the morning paper to Mr. Niarchos at the breakfast table when Ares joined us.

My heart lurched upon seeing him again. He looked so strikingly gorgeous in a gray shirt and faded blue jeans. His messy dark brown hair made him look so hot.

"Good morning, grandpa," Ares greeted, but his sharp and assessing eyes were directed at me. I didn't miss the frown set into his features as he pulled the chair across where I was sitting and sat down.

"Good morning, Ares." Mr. Niarchos smiled. "We will go to the office this morning and I will introduce you to everyone."

"Great." Ares replied and looked at me again.

"By the way, this is Rachel White. She's the daughter of our gardener, Gregory. Remember him?"

"Yeah, of course. He saved me from drowning in the pool when I was ten, right?" His eyes were cold as he held mine.
