I GIVE YOU MY WORD

JASSICA POV
I scurried back to my room immediately.
“He is so rude and heartless, I can’t stand him at all”. I kept on ranting in my mind till I got inside the room.
“My lady, welcome back”. Masha who was arranging the bed turned her attention to me when she noticed my present in the room. “I was just cleaning up”. She said and I nodded.
I stood at the door as I waited for her to be done.
Masha arranged the bed quickly before she went to the wardrobe and brought out a red, short hand dress. She placed it on the bed before she turned to my direction and bowed her head.
“You may come in my lady”. Masha said.
I walked towards the bed and flopped on it.
“You must be feeling exhausted my lady, you should have your bath”. Masha suggested. “As you can see my lady, you dress is on the bed so…”, I couldn’t let her finish before I stood up.
“Yes”. I said and strode into the bathroom.
I was feeling really tired from the trainings today. It wasn’t easy and king Lucifer was making things hard for me. Just because he knows how to do things right doesn’t means I will have to do it in his own way, I hate been controlled. And the worst part of it, I was been distracted by his stupid body so I admit it was all my fault. I hit my head before I undid my hair and allowed it to fall down to my back. I took off my clothe before I sinked my body into the tub. I turned on the tap and allowed the cold water to drown my body till it was full to the tip of my neck.
I inhaled deeply, allowing the water to cool my hot skin that was burning due to the heat from the sun and of course, my sweat.
I cupped my hand and filled it with water before I splashed it against my face. I closed my eyes and those gorgeous eyes of Lucifer hunt me. I couldn’t help but imagine his manly body in my head. It was enough to cause a distraction.
I hissed as I opened my eyes and turned off the tap. I stood up and reached for the shower button, I switched it on. I ran my hand through my hair, parting it into two so the water could dampen deep into my hair. I turned it off and step out of the tub.
I could hear Masha smooth voice call my me.
“My lady are you done?, So I could bring in your towel”. Masha inquired and I nodded, forgetting that she couldn’t see me.
“I am done Masha, you can come in with the towel”. I respond.
She stretched her hand into the bathroom, offering me the towel in her hand.
I walked to the door and grabbed it from her hand.
“Thank you”. I mumbled while drying my face with the towel. I tied the towel round my chest before I came out of the bathroom.
“I have to go my lady, the king has ordered for my present”. Masha bowed her head and said.
“Your presence? For what??”. I asked, is not like I care but I really wanted to know because she sounds like she’s in a haste so what could go wrong.
“Nothing important my lady, he just need a massage”. Masha respond before she dismissed.
Hearing that, I recalled the cut that I gave him in his arm during the training. It was all my fault that he got injured while trying to train me. Why do I feel like I’m the one been selfish, I will have to do something about this.
I took off the towel and wore my dress immediately. I scurried out of my room and luckily, I found Masha climbing the stairs with a cup filled with black liquid. I felt curious to know what’s that because it looks like jelly.
I approached her and stood by her path so she wouldn’t passby.
“May I know what’s that?”. I asked out of curiosity.
“My lady it’s a healer and like I said the king had…”
I yanked it off from her hand.
“I will do it”
“What!”. Masha exclaimed, I knew she heard me clearly because her face showed a shocked expression. “No my lady, I’m sorry I can’t allow you to do it, the king will be furious when he sees you and not me”. She said, gazing down at the ground.
“What makes you so special?”. I asked, trying to play along so she would let me take over her place to massage the king.
“I…I… I don’t… know my…lady”. Masha stuttered in respond and I smiled.
“So allow me to do this, you’re not getting any younger Masha, you need a rest”. I said and her eyes lit up to meet my gaze. “Trust me Masha, he won’t notice and I will make sure of that”. I assured and she heaved a sigh.
“You are right, I need a rest “. She said. “Please make sure nothing goes wrong okay?”. Masha said with pleading eyes.
“I give you my word Masha”. I said.
“The king room is next to yours”. Masha directed me before she dismissed.
“So his room has been this close to ours this time”. I whispered to Sella as I turned and proceed to his room.
I knocked twice before I twisted the door knob opened. I peeped out through the door and saw him asleep on a peaceful position on the bed.
How could he be so cruel to sleep comfortably after all he had done to me. The suffer from the trainings, the burnings. I know I promised Masha that I would take care of everything but right now I am having second thoughts about it. Should I go in there or not? I anticipate in my head.
I can’t do this, I think I should just go back to Masha and tell her I have changed my mind.
The worst part of it, I feel wired tingles all over my stomach just seeing laying half naked on the king size bed, with no shirt on.
What was I thinking before I came here, I think I have changed my mind. I can’t turn myself into his slave just to please him, but come to think of it; the cut in his hands.
“Argh”. I groan as the thought of that snapped into my head.
Masha can do it, I am out of here.
I turned to leave but I was stopped by his voice.
“Masha”.
