SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID

Hera took the next few minutes to unpack her belongings. She was busily arranging her stuff to put them away neatly. She wasn't used to a disorganized space. She liked it when everything around her was kept where they should be and in good condition for easy access. After unpacking, she decided to wash off in her bathroom that was specifically built in her own side of the bedroom. She has never been exposed to this sort of luxury in her entire life. When she was done, she wore a casual dress, sat down on her bed and took in her

supposed bedroom for the umpteenth time that afternoon. Just then she noticed the door and stood up to slide it open.

She twisted the door knob and it gave way. Just like he said, she stepped into his bedroom. He wasn't joking when he said that he wasn't going to let her out of his sight cause her room is intertwined with his. When he said next to his, she had thought that he meant side by side or opposites but how wrong had she been. It wasn't side by side at all. Her room practically lives in his room.

"Oh dear God!" She whispered to herself. Her hands flew up to scratch her head nervously. She couldn't believe it. No wonder he was so calm about bringing her here. Bryce, the manipulator.

She should've known not to trust him more often. She should've learned to cross check and double check by now. Just as she tried to take in everything around her, she heard preceding footsteps approaching her. She quickly abandoned her thoughts and made for her side of the bedroom.

She heard the door open and after a while, it was shut close. Her brain registered that he was back. Her heart was thumping loudly. He wasn't even in her side of the bedroom so why was she this nervous? Is this how it's going to be from now henceforth? Maybe, she should've just struggled harder to disagree rather than come here to live with him.

If given the chance to switch choices, would she have made the same choice or a different one? Because it seems like ever since she met Bryce, she has always been making the choices that she normally wouldn't make if she was still in the convent. Was he a good or bad influence on her?

"Hera?" He called out to her. "Did you come into my bedroom?" He mused. His voice a mixture of amusement and excitement. None of which felt reassuring at the moment.

"Well...er-" She paused. "I was a bit curious when I saw the door and decided to check it out. I didn't know it led to your side of the bedroom. You didn't tell me that it did." She whispered the last part to herself.

He chuckled. "But I already told you didn't I? I'm not letting you out of my sight even for a single moment. You're stuck with me belléssima."

"How did you know?" She asked, shying her eyes away as though he could see her. "How did you know that I was in your bedroom?"

"There's only one woman in my life who uses lavender." He answered knowingly. "I don't need to try too hard when it comes to you my dear. I know you like the back of my palm." Bryce stated proudly as though he had won a trophy.

Hera flushed at his words. It wasn't supposed to sound so good but it did. The door demarcating their room slide open and Bryce walked in fully. He was surprised to see Hera seated on the bed quietly. He commended her effort at making her side of the room spotless and wholesome.

"You're not ready?" He asked and that's when she noticed that he was fully dressed. "We were supposed to visit Max today remember?"

"Oh." She cooed softly and stood up to her feet. It had almost skipped her mind that they would be having a night out today. "I'll get changed now. You can wait outside for me."

"Alright. I'll be waiting for you outside." He informed her before making his way outside her bedroom. Hera sighed deeply. She had no idea that she was holding her breath for so long. Living under one roof with Bryce isn't going to be a walk in the park like she had hoped. "I'm ready!" She squealed in delight as she approached Bryce who had been standing next to his car, waiting for her for ages. At a moment, she even thought that she had cancelled and would not want to go anymore.

"What took you so long?" He reached for the door and opened it.

"First day moving in. I'm still getting used to my bedroom. It's somehow exciting." She answered and settled herself in the car. Actually no, she wasn't late because it was her first day moving in. She was late because well, she didn't think it was a wise idea go visit Max after the rukus that had happened the last time.

"You're always excited about the simplest things so I'm not surprised at all." He got in and started the ignition and minutes after, they were off on the road.

Halfway through the ride, Hera inched her face closer. "Do you think that Max would let us explore his hotel for a day?" She inquired and Bryce choked on his saliva forcing him to cough so suddenly. Hera offered him a bottled water after opening it.

She wondered what must have happened or was it something she said?

"I don't think he'll let you explore his place of business Cara. You know that he's a busy man right?" He tried to sway her thoughts so that she doesn't make any attempt to do what she had just said. If she decides to explore the hotel, it'll be the end of him. How would he explain himself? And what would he say he comes here to do? Just thinking about it had his head reeling in more ways than one.

"Oh..." She puckered her lips in a pout. "It's alright then. Maybe next time when he's free."

"Right." He confirmed and exhaled softly.

They arrived at the hotel and made their way inside. Max came to welcome them upon arrival.

"If it isn't our Hera." He hugged her briefly and pulled away with a radiant smile on his face. "I don't know what it is that you're doing to this man but please, keep on doing it."

Bryce rolled his eyes at Max in complete mockery while Hera struggled to hold back her laughter. She had no idea what Max meant by what he said but how he said it and Bryce's reaction in the end was funny.

"I didn't say it like it's a bad thing.

You look positively radiant my dear friend." Max complimented. "By the way Hera, my dear friend Dara here would give you a tour around the hotel while Bryce and I catch up. Is that okay with you?"

Her eyes lit up in an instant. "Really? I can have a tour?"

"Of course. You deserve it for getting me that apology from this annoying human being." He consented. "Dara would bring you back when you're done."

"Thank you." She whispered gratefully and wandered off with Dara.

"You shouldn't have done that Max." Bryce growled in panic. "Your hotel is crawling with "

"Please. We took care of it before you got here. I wouldn't want to spoil your friendship with little miss nun from the convent and have you pin it on me." He started towards the elevator and Bryce followed, closely trailing behind him. "Thank you."

"She has you good!" Max mused as they made their way towards his office. He might've as well asked for the address of the convent so that he could offer thanks on his friend's behalf because this was certainly unexpected.

"I told Hera about everything." Bryce blurted out as soon as he shut the door to Max's office. "She knows everything now. I couldn't hide it from her anymore so I just told her."

"What did she say? How did she

react to it?" Max knew just how hard

it was for Bryce to open up to

someone. It took him ages before he was able to get a peek into his friend's life. He never speaks about it. It was a part of him that he

had

successfully buried until now that is.

He chuckled. "She didn't judge me like I feared she would. She stayed with me. I thought she would run or try to avoid me but she didn't. She even moved in with me after I pleaded with all my sanity." "She's a keeper." Max chimed in. "Don't ruin it because I know you buddy. You ruin everything so please don't ruin this one." Max warned him sternly. "So what's the next step?" "What do you mean?"

"You're obviously getting attached Bryce and you can't keep her next to you if you know that you're not ready for it."

He breathed heavily. "I'm still not open to any relationship and I don't think I ever will but I don't think that I'm ready to give Hera up Max. She's different."

Max nodded slowly. "I know but it's up to you to decide what comes next after this because you can't keep her next to you forever Bryce. That's not how it works."

"You have to decide if this is truly

what you want. Hera is not a toy that you can keep forever Bryce. She's human so think carefully before you get in too deeper than you are." He concluded before rounding his table to his desk to sit down while Bryce battled with his emotions,
