Lady Shadowhive and her Demon Butler Lucius Dracovich. PT 2

The Foxes Dilemma

Lucius's POV

She didnt even notice the fact i had stripped her bare. Hell she seemed lost in a trance as she went to the tub. She hasn't said a single word yet her mind is nothing but a flurry of conflict and relentless thinking. My hands are slowly rubbing the cloth against her arms. Usually i'd take this opportunity to snap her out of her mind but for once i think it would be best if I allow her to resolve this issue herself. My eyes rested upon the star on her upper arm. A slight smile tugged my lips as the temptation to kiss the seal started burning inside. No matter what may happen i will adapt the plan to make sure things return to the path we will lead our masters down. Sebastian will have his furious master once more, Claude will have what ever it was that made his contract so enticing... And i will have my mistress all to myself. Still, will you really have a child? I am unsure of what you would do mistress... if you find the information you seek at this doctors office you will have a child to care for at the end. Another question, would you bear Ciel's child or mine.... whom do you wish to have impregnate you should you decide to make this sacrifice to further your own success.

*backing away from lucius slowly* ok~ lucius is getting a little creepy.... he is thinking way to hard about this. Well let's see what's going on inside the foxes head.

Jade's POV

My body was relaxed and i wasn't tense or edgy. In fact i feel fantastic and can tell how the waters healing powers are keeping me calm. Yet this is doing nothing to calm the raging storm of thoughts within my brain. A child.... The ultimate sacrifice. But a child would only make me even more attached to ciel... if i wanted to be free from all this constant need for attention and be able to return to the sanctity and seclusion of my manor i needed to find a way home.... I looked at the ring on my finger. This marriage.... was a sham since the start. At first i did in fact feel affection towards Ciel but not to the extent that he feels for me. He was another pawn in my scheme. Sadly the ruse has backfired upon me and now i am faced with the constant demands of affection for a man who now asks for me to sacrifice a majority of my time for the sake of children. Yet i can't help but wonder, would a child in fact help ease the pain i feel for Elsie? Or would the child distract me from my goal, the reason for why this demon now hovers near me and craves my soul. I clenched my fist and felt my face twist to rage as i saw the mental image of the heartless bastard... my rage shall never be quenched, no amount of time could ever undo the hatred i feel for that man. Everything i have done has been to avenge my family, my sweet Elsie. He only fueled my anger more by mocking me with his wedding gift.... I have read that note every night wanting to rip it to shreds the way i would destroy him. I took a long breath and held it for a moment to try and calm the rage. I could feel the slight press of lips against my skin and i blinked looking towards lucius. The star on my arm was glowing and he had kissed it. I dismissed this action and returned to my thoughts once more, my anger must have caused my star to burn. I hummed to myself slightly as the image of me holding a child.... yet something caused my heart to flutter in this image... it was lucius. He was standing beside me gazing down at the child. Lucius?.... I needed to make sure he didnt catch my gaze.. I slowly turned my head enough to flash my eyes to the side to sneak a glance at him. He was rinsing the wash cloth and began washing my legs. If i had his child i could return to my manor.... I would not have to feel remorse in leaving ciel while being pregnant... Yet, if i was to leave ciel, it would have to be soon... Then again, i wouldn't need to be pregnant if i left ciel. I sighed and held a hand to my head once more rubbing my temple. This was getting me nowhere.

"Mistress?"

I lifted my eyes and looked at him my face void of any emotion.

"What"

"Is something troubling you?"

"Are you sincerely asking me this or are you asking out of politeness and not wanting to be caught reading my mind again."
