Chapter 168: Nude Portrait

 She pressed her lips together timidly, slightly demure at the fact that he wanted to create a nude portrait of her, she didn't know what to feel, elated, nervous or aroused? She felt them all at once.

 "This room is off limits, no one is allowed to come in." He stated out nonchalantly. 

 "And the maids?" She queried.

 "Not even the maids." He assured.

 "Then who cleans the place up?" She asked in curiosity.

 "You ask too many questions, seat so I can start painting." He implied with extended hands towards a gilded chair in front of him, gesturing for her to seat. 

 "Wait, the door, we should keep it locked." She insisted as her eyes narrowed to the door.

 Immediately she spoke, she heard the door lock "Happy now?"
