The Lady Shadowhive and her demon butler Lucius Dracovich

Come To Bed

Lucius's POV
It worked, even as she kept her facade of calm and cool i could feel the heat of her skin from where i stood as she walked by. Her heart was throbbing in my ears and when she entered the bathroom i saw her pause in front of the tub. I smiled cooly and moved up behind her placing my hands on her shoulders.

"Allow me..."

I moved my hand down her back and pulled the strings of her dress releasing the fabric around her. It fell to the floor like a curtain and left her in her undergarments. I pulled the strings of her corset and watched as it too fell to the floor, her hands moved and cupped her breasts to cover them as i moved my hand down the side of her body. She remained perfectly still as i took hold of her underwear and then pulled it down. Done... her body was exposed, left vulnerable to the elements..left vulnerable.. to me. I licked my lips before i peeked into her mind, and i was very pleased at what i saw... an image of myself in the sword dancer's outfit. But her attention was mainly focused on my chest instead of on my face, hmm... this will be useful. I watched her as she stepped forward and then slid down into the tub the water quickly. She submerged herself in the liquid up to below her nose, leaving her lips protected by the water.. i sat on the edge of the tub and dipped my fingers in the water.

"Is the temperature satisfying to you mistress? Or do i need to make it hotter?"

She groaned and closed her eyes as she put her hands on her face. I listened to her thoughts as she complained about me being a dirty demon and being stupid for making her feel this way. It wasn't my fault... well i guess it sort of was, for her feeling attracted to me.. If anything she should be wanting Ciel to make her feel this way.

"No Lucius.. you've done enough."

She lowered herself back into the water again and closed her eyes. But mine stayed open the entire time just gazing at her body under the ripples of the water. She finished her bath rather quickly, most likely so she could get away from me and not have to stare at my barren chest, but when she moved out of the tub she slipped and caught her foot in the claw feet of the tub. I saw then in her body that she sprained her ankle and i bent down catching her in my arms. She looked up at me wide eyed with her hand braced against my chest, her body still wet and hot from the tub.

"Mistress are you all right?"

Jade's POV
Ahh my ankle! I winced as i fell and then looked up at Lucius with wide eyes as my hand was placed against his chest. N...n...no I felt a small twinge of blush cross my cheeks as i stared up at him. I was defenseless against him, my body was betraying me at every turn.. i couldn't run away now. I looked down and said quietly.

"My ankle... i twisted my ankle.."

I gasped as i was suddenly lifted into the air and held there. I had no towel around me, my body was dripping from the water of the tub dropping from my body. I had my arms around him out of fear that he would drop me, it was a silly fear i know but still i couldn't help it.. So many people had picked me up before only to drop me, and so now i clung to whoever held me. Lucius walked out of the bathroom, not even grabbing a towel as he sat me on the bed and then kneeled at my foot.

"It appears to be sprained..."

He leaned forward and kissed my ankle and i shivered and bit my lip. My first reaction was to kick him but when i went to move my foot i cried out softly in pain from having moved it in his hands. He looked up at me and said coyly.

"You shouldn't move it so suddenly young mistress...."

He pulled a soft pink nightgown over my body and then released my foot from his hand. I was glaring at him as he stood there smirking at me.

"Go to your room... you are not welcome in my presence tonight."

I meant to say it more sternly but my voice came out weak and shaky as i spoke. The way he stood there... looming over me with that grin and those eyes bearing into my soul.. i felt weak under his gaze. He bowed to me and left me alone in my room. I sighed in relief and laid back on the bed resting my head on the soft cool pillow. I closed my eyes and i saw lucius dancing from earlier making my heart racing faster and faster. I opened my eyes and sat up gasping and holding my hand to my head. Damn it... he's invading my dreams, i can't sleep.. I rested my elbow on my knee as i sat in bed when i heard the door creak open and lucius entered carrying a glass of milk.

"A warm glass of milk to calm your nerves?"

I scoffed and then turned my back to him crossing my arms. I heard him chuckle as he came over and sat the milk down on the table next to my bed.

"I shall just leave this here.. is there anything else i can get you my lady?"

"Leave me you sly dog.."

I looked at him coldly using as much of my strength to keep a cold and harsh demeanor as possible, but i knew i wouldn't be able to keep this up much longer and i only prayed silently that he would bow and leave me so that i could shudder from staring into those deep blue eyes.

"Very well young mistress.. i apologize for making you angry, i shall see you in the morning."

He took my hand gently and placed a soft kiss on it making my body tingle and heat up from his touch. I stifled back a groan as he let go and left my room. The moment the door closed i laid back on the bed sighing and holding my head in frustration. I looked at the milk and sighed as i drank it down. I began feeling dizzy and soon my eyes closed shut while i slipped into a dreamless sleep. The night was uneventful.. my sleep was of nothing but darkness. and yet.. at some point in the night i felt the bed giving way as well as the presence of someones lips touching my shoulder. I was in too deep a sleep to wake up and i passed this off as a fleeting motion of the wind in my room.

Lucius's POV
Her slumber should be deep by now... I creaked the door open slightly and saw her sleeping on her side, how lovely... so defenseless... I crept into the room swiftly and then climbed into the bed with her. My eyes were flashed over in their demonic color as my hand brushed the strap of her dress off her shoulder. I leaned forward and began gently kissing her skin, so delicious... the essence of her soul lingers on her body. She groaned slightly in her sleep and moved only a few inches before resuming her deep slumber. I smiled at this, the milk knocked her out cold. Then again warm milk always puts her into a deep sleep. I kisses her neck softly and smiled as a soft moan escaped her lips. Hmm.. so this is a weak spot for her.. i will keep that in mind for my next advance. When she was in deep sleeps like this, i took it upon myself to find her weaknesses. I kissed her shoulder more and more taking in the delicious taste of her skin. It was intoxicating because she wore her feelings on her arms, or as the humans say, wears her heart on her sleeve. I kissed her arm softly and how i longed to roll her over and taste the sweet flavor of her chest. I slowly moved my hand over her waist and gently placed my hand on her stomach. I bit my lip as i thought about moving my hand upwards to touch and caress the soft mounds of flesh, but then she suddenly gripped my hand and held it up to her lips. She nuzzled her face to it and groaned as she settled again. I chuckled and then pulled myself close to her and rested my head above hers. I will stay here... and watch over my feast... everyday you become more and more delectable.. You will be the most exquisite meal a demon could ever have.
