Chương 12: Special menu

Blake, caught off guard by Rose's unusual request, shook his head slightly but obliged. He took the lotion bottle from her hand, and with a cautious touch, began to apply it to her back. As his hands moved over her skin, he couldn't help but be captivated by the pale, flawless canvas before him.

Rose's skin seemed otherworldly, akin to freshly fallen snow. It was smooth, cool, and seemingly untouched by imperfections. As Blake massaged the lotion in, he pondered whether this was a result of an elaborate skincare routine or if it was simply the natural state of her ethereal beauty.

The room, cloaked in drawn curtains, added an air of secrecy to the scene. Blake, now fully immersed in the task at hand, tried to shake off the shock of finding his powerful boss in such a vulnerable state. Yet, a nagging thought lingered in his mind – Rose's elegance and perfection seemed almost supernatural, raising questions about the true nature of the enigma that was his boss.

The atmosphere in the room thickened as Rose, with a deliberate yet fluid motion, lowered the towel to the curve of her lower back. Blake's eyes involuntarily followed the movement, captivated by the tension building in the air. It was a subtle dance between two individuals caught in the intricate web of power dynamics and unspoken desires.

"Blake?" Rose's voice, almost a whisper, cut through the charged silence. Caught off guard, he stammered, "Yes, ma... I mean, my lord?" The awkwardness lingered, the title feeling foreign on his lips.

Rose turned to face Blake, her penetrating gaze moving from his left eye to his lips, then to his right eye. A surge of heat enveloped him, rendering him momentarily defenseless. He felt exposed under the intensity of her scrutiny.

Unbeknownst to Blake, Rose arched her neck subtly, a seductive smile playing on her lips. It was a moment of almost perfect allure, leaving Blake both entranced and bewildered. Rose, a work of art in human form, remained an abstract beauty that eluded his complete understanding. The complexity of his feelings intensified, compounded by the fact that she was his boss.

"Does calling me 'lord' make you uncomfortable?" Rose's voice, softer than usual, echoed in the room. The vulnerability in her tone contrasted sharply with the usual authoritative demeanor. "Be honest," she added, her eyes locking onto Blake's pupils.

Caught in the crossfire of conflicting emotions, Blake found himself at a loss for words. The signs pointed to a calculated scheme by Rose, yet he was powerless to resist. With all the extravagant rewards he'd received, calling her 'lord' seemed like a small price to pay.

"I think we'll be late for work. I'll let you prepare now, my lord," Blake evaded the question, his attempt to change the topic palpable. As he turned to leave, Rose's sweet voice called him back.

"Blake?" she beckoned.

"Mm?" Blake responded as he turned.

"I didn't say you could leave just yet," Rose declared, her tone abruptly shifting to the familiar authoritative cadence. The brief glimpse of a softer side retreated, and they were back to the established order.

"Oh, you need something?" Blake feigned nonchalance, pretending not to notice the shift in her tone.

"Yes, I need you to help me get in my clothes. Stay here; I'll be back," Rose instructed, standing up and heading towards a discreet door in the corner.

Rose walked towards the door in her bathing suit that accentuated her curves. Her legs were on display, and as she walked, the gentle sway of her hips was almost hypnotic. The fabric clung to her form, emphasizing every fine contour.

Her hips swayed from side to side, and each step exuded confidence and allure. As she moved, her well-defined curves and the subtle shake of her ass added to the captivating spectacle. It was a display of a beauty that transcended the ordinary, leaving Blake momentarily entranced.

There was a mesmerizing grace in her movements, as if she glided effortlessly through the space.

Blake couldn't help but notice the elegant movement of her figure, a beauty so surreal it bordered on the unreal.

Her presence filled the room, there was an aura about her and the air seemed to ripple with that aura.

The room felt too small to contain such elegance.

Rose reappeared, holding a dress in front of her. The short red gown, simple and devoid of patterns, hung from her delicate looking fingers.

"What do you think?" Rose inquired, her gaze fixed on Blake.

"It looks nice," Blake responded, appreciating the elegant simplicity of the dress.

"Okay then, I'll go try another one. This one isn't ... efficient," Rose announced, turning around and gracefully walking back to the door she had emerged from. As she turned, Blake's eyes widened, realizing she was now clad only in a bra and panties, the red gown she held before strategically concealing this revelation.

The room's temperature seemed to rise, tension building. Rose disappeared behind the door, leaving Blake in a state of heightened awareness. Minutes passed, and Rose emerged once more, adorned in a different attire.

This time, she wore a form-fitting emerald green cocktail dress. The dress hugged her every curve, accentuating her slender waist and highlighting her captivating silhouette. The sweetheart neckline added a touch of allure, while the knee-length hemline showcased her toned legs.

The color complemented Rose's complexion, and the dress, though less elaborate than the crimson gown, exuded sophistication and style. Silver heels adorned her feet, and her hair cascaded down her back, adding a final touch to the ensemble.

The transformation was stunning, and Rose radiated confidence as she awaited Blake's opinion.

Blake's eyes widened in surprise as Rose emerged in the emerald green cocktail dress. The form-fitting attire accentuated her every curve, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.

"Wow," Blake finally managed to articulate, his voice betraying a hint of awe. "You look absolutely stunning in that dress, Miss Rose. It suits you perfectly."

Rose flashed a pleased smile, a glint of satisfaction in her eyes.

A soft knock echoed through Rose's room, and without hesitation, she beckoned the person to enter. In walked a man dressed in a sharply tailored suit, executing a respectful bow towards Rose.

"My lord, your guest's attire and bath is ready," the man reported, his demeanor composed.

"Okay, you may leave now," Rose replied, and the man exited with another bow.

Turning her attention to Blake, she gestured toward the door. "Well, you were the one saying we'll be late. Go freshen up, while I finalize a few things." With that, she allowed Blake to retreat to his room, leaving him to grapple with the whirlwind of thoughts and sensations that had just unfolded.

Meanwhile Rose descended the grand staircase, traversing through room after room, passing doors with an air of familiarity until she arrived at a particular one – the kitchen. The busy hum of chefs and clattering utensils enveloped the room.

"Make sure it's perfect; I'd have it no other way," Rose asserted, scrutinizing the cooking proceedings with a discerning eye. The head chef bowed in respect, acknowledging the high standards expected.

As Rose prepared to leave, she halted abruptly and added, "Also, arrange for my special meal. I'll be having him today." Her words, delivered with an emotionless face, left an unsettling tension in the air, leaving the kitchen staff to process the unusual request with slight murmur here and there.
