Dust Of Lust

Chapter.12*Fate Is My Only Friend Here*

"Turn around." He had his arms folded under his head and his head turned towards me. I simply did what he said, giving him a full turn and then getting my position back again. He had done that before, I don’t know what kind of sick and twisted person he was to get pleasure out of annoying a girl.

"Ah! Your body is captivating." His voice turned husky, a dirty smirk filled his lips. I gulped, his words repeating in my brain like a broken record.

“I hope you took a shower today,” his comment made me realize, he remembered me. Obviously, as dirty he was, he would assume I won’t be taking showers, but the worker having no means to buy and wear near clothes, kept themselves clean by washing every day.

"Undress!" His command was enough to take away my breath. I shivered, but pretended to act normal. My whole body can feel his eyes on me. He shifted his side to me and kept watching me. His eyes traveled down to the lace on my skirt that I was playing nervously with my fingers.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" He questioned, but his voice wasn't harsh or neither was the volume of his voice raised.

"What are you doing in my room?" All of a sudden, a voice startled me as Flora yelled at Prince Luke. Thankfully, I was saved, at least for now.

I was still holding my breath, fearing if I did anything out of normal, his attention would be diverted to me again.

"Where is the bracelet?" He muttered, laying straight in the bed again with his arms folded under his head.

"Which one?" She stomped her foot and raised her brow in anger. One could tell there was tension between the siblings, my guess would be, Prince Luke might have done something to piss her off.

"The bracelet you took from me," he stated, looking annoyed.

"Oh! the one you stole from me?" She faked a smile and narrowed her eyes at him, "so I just took my thing back." She added, sounding pretty reasonable. So the prince was also into stealing things other than harassing the workers, interesting.

"I want it back. I'll buy you another one." Prince Luke's voice has lost the commanding tone it had before after he realized he couldn’t bully a Princess like he was bullying us around. It felt so awkward to stand among them with my head lowered down while they argued over a bracelet. Why would Prince Luke even steal a thing?

"No! It is full of diamonds and I know you are short on money this moment." Flora laughed, making him mad in the process. "Next time make sure you don't keep so many girls and father doesn’t find out." She added and rolled her eyes like a Diva. So that is what was going on, Lord George must have found him in the Tavern, spending money on the ladies.

"Fine I'll steal some from Warrick, he doesn't need the money anyway." He shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the room. Thank goodness, I was just going to breathe a sigh of relief when Princess’s voice shook me up.

"Do my bed and leave." Princess Flora commanded, she began combing her hair like a princess from fairy tales does.

I did my work and quickly stormed out of her room, finally letting out the breath I was holding in for so long. As I was walking in the hallway, recalling the works I was assigned for, I heard a loud voice.

"You!" The voice was loud enough to tremble anyone's ground. I shockingly turned around and Lord George was standing there, looking in my direction.

Oh No! not another bas***!

"Come here," he ordered, pointing me to join him. I remember making their bed before anyone else. I followed his direction anyways and stood a little away from him.

"Shanice right?" He inquired, his voice husky and low. Wow! I don’t remember encountering him a lot, yet he remembered my name.

"Yes!" I nodded, keeping my eyes down.

"Why are you wandering in the hallway?" He took a step closer to me, making sure there was no one around. I kind of understood his intentions, he wasn't a saint at all.

"I was looking for another chore since I'm done with my chores for the day," I replied very obediently, as I didn't plan on pissing him off. Now that I think of it, I should have said I am on my way to Madame Noela, she had called for me.

"I have got a chore for you, Shanice." He stated while taking another step close to me. He gently placed his hand on my shoulder, shaking me inside with fear and disgust, and rubbed his hand on my shoulder very slowly. It was the most disgusting feeling ever. This guy had a wife and kids, a daughter of my age and he was here touching me and proving himself a man.

"Come inside with me." He grabbed my wrist and started walking towards his room. The fear inside made me tremble visibly, how can he be so chill about it? How can this happen so suddenly?

Can I even resist? Would it get me in trouble?

My whole existence was getting colder now, I was having cold shivers.

I followed him for a while and then stopped, no I won't let this happen. My whole body was shivering beyond control. I freed my hand from him and halted behind him. He turned around quickly, eyes narrowed at me in anger.

"How dare yo----" he ceased, looking behind me.

"Father?" Prince Luke mumbled. I let go of a breath of relief and moved aside from his way.

"Is everything alright?" Luke questioned, the fear on Lord George's face was telling me that Madame Noela hadn't allowed him for sleeping around, that rule worked for me.

"Yeah! Why are you here?" Lord George regained his posture and confidence pretty quickly. "You leave." He mumbled, acting totally different from before. I briskly walked away from them, thanking my fate numerous times as I walked out of their league. My luck was always there when I needed it, and I was in the middle of these thoughts when my stupid a** bumped onto someone. Quickly backing away, I saw the bottle shattering into pieces as it fell down.

"Look what have you done," The loud voice belonged to Prince Warrick. He stood with the shattered bottle and kept glaring at my face in anger.

"I'm so sorry, I will clean it up right away." I stuttered, knowing my fate was never gonna save me twice in the same row.
