UNEDITED

I woke up to the familiar feeling of the sun shining through the windows onto my face because I forgot to close my curtains the previous night. I groaned and turned away from the light trying to go back to sleep, realizing I could not go back to sleep a few minutes later I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up before getting dressed and walked out of the room.

It had been a week since I was taken from my dad to live with Demitrius, a week since I have spoken to my dad or Penny and a week since I went to work at the café. I didn't get a chance to tell Marie I was not coming back to work because I hadn't been there since that night. I didn't get any chance to communicate with dad or Penny because I didn't have my phone, the guards took it the day I arrived at the mansion.

I could not leave the house because each time I tried to leave, one of Demitrius' baboons would stop me and then stand guard at the doors all day and night. I had considered jumping out a window but figured the pain of the fall would not be worth it. I would have to figure out a way to get out this house before I go crazy.

For the entire week I had been here I haven't seen Demitrius. The only thing that made me aware that he came here was the food I made for dinner would be eaten and the warm coffee that remained in the brewing machine each morning when I got to the kitchen.

I walked over to the brewer and poured myself some of the remaining coffee. I took small sips of the coffee while I made myself some breakfast.

After I was finished I began cleaning the house -since Demitrius had fired all the house helpers like he said he would and cleaning the house helped to keep me distracted and I also did not like to be in a dirty surrounding. I started upstairs since I had cleaned all of what was downstairs two days before out of boredom.

I went through three of the rooms including mine, there was not much to clean in them anyway since they were not occupied, I finished up the last room then went to the left wing of the house which had only two rooms, and both of the doors were locked.

I walked up to the first door and tried to open it, but it didn't even budge. I walked back downstairs deciding to try the keys that were given to me by Demitrius hoping one of them could open it.

Just as I was about to insert the key into the keyhole the other door swung open and I jumped back and let out a scream in fright.

Demitrius was standing at the door looking at me with an annoyed expression as if I just interrupted something. His hair was messy and he was shirtless. At that time I couldn't help but to admire his body, the sweat dripping from his face onto the contoured surface of his chest running down his stomach making his bulging muscles glisten, also helping to illuminate his tanned skin. He was not a overly muscled gorilla but, he had the right amount of muscles in the right places. I allowed my eyes to slowly drift down to his thick V-line and finally down to his-

"My eyes are up here amour"

"Oh yes, I know where your eyes are," I told him while I continued to let my eyes roam his perfect body.

He chuckled and I quickly averted my eyes from his body and focus on his face to see him smirking "you like what you see, huh Elizabeth?" He mused and I was sure my face resembled a ripe tomato. I quickly looked down to the floor in embarrassment from the realization of being caught checking him out.

"I-I uh... I w-wasn't... I did not..." I began to stutter, unable to form a proper response.

"Save it," he told me and leaned against the door frame and folded his hand over his chest causing his arms and pecks to bulge. Oh God, this is seriously going to be the death of me, I internally groaned.

"What brings you here to my door at this time of the day Elizabeth?" What am I doing here? I don't remember why I was- oh yes, I am here to clean his room.

"I'm here to clean your room, I think it is in need of some...cleaning," I quickly rushed out a reply.

"You are here to clean my room this early in the morning," he said giving me a lustful smirk as if I just said something extremely seductive. I couldn't help but notice how he added emphasis to the word 'clean'.

"It is already pass noon and yes I am here to clean your room," I made sure to press on the word 'clean' to make a point "and I thought you already left for work," he did not reply and I stood in the same spot under his heated stare for what felt like an hour which probably was only a minute waiting for him to move and open the door so that I could clean the room and get this over with.

"Sooo..." I trailed off but when he didn't answer I got irritated and continued, "would you mind getting out of the way so that I can clean the room because, I don't have all morning standing here like a guard," I said in the snarkiest tone I could. He cocked a single eyebrow at me before shifting out of the way allowing me to enter the room without saying a word.

I then realized that this was the same room I had woken up in when I fainted, there was one question forming in my mind 'why didn't he bring me to my room instead of his?' because you weigh a ton and his room is closer to the staircase my subconscious teased and I quickly shoved her all the way to the back of my mind.

There was nothing much to be done in the room. The bed was disheveled and their were papers scatter over the makeshift office table in his room, just like that of a highschool kid that has lots of homework.

I heard the shower running and that's when I realized Demetrius was not in the room anymore I wonder how long I had zoned out for. I therefore got to work starting with the bed, by the time I was finished he was already out of the shower wearing a small towel that was so low on his hip only a little was left to my imagination.

Pick your mouth up off the floor Elizabeth! My subconscious growled to me. And I tried to but it seem my mouth muscles had stopped working.

"Someone is trying to catch a fly," Demitrius tsked "you might want to close your mouth," he told me but after realizing I couldn't close it, he walked over to where I was standing and closed it for me. I shook my head to clear my head of the sinful thoughts and now I could feel my cheeks turning red. He smirked at me again, does this man always have to smirk so much and look so sexy?

"Yes and it's great to know that you find my looks to be sexy," he answered, I stared at him with my eyes wide open.

"Did I just say that-"

"Yes you did, now excuse me," he cut me off then walked off in the direction of what I assumed to be his closet but, before walking into the closet he unknotted his towel and it slipped down his perfectly toned legs-that made him look like he did lots of sports in his lifetime, my breath got caught in my throat and my cheeks got so heated I thought they would melt as I watched the towel fall to a bundle right around his ankle.
