Chapter 36: Adrian’s New Personal Maid
Chapter 36: Adrian’s New Personal Maid
Adrian stood frozen for a moment, his eyes taking in the sight of Chris in her elegant attire. The way her dress accentuated her curves, her perfectly styled hair cascading down her back, and the warmth in her deep blue eyes—it was all so different from the way he usually saw her, yet it felt natural, as if this was who she was meant to be.
"Chris... you look absolutely stunning," Adrian finally managed to say, his voice laced with genuine admiration.
Chris blushed slightly at his words, a small, shy smile playing on her lips. "Thank you, Adrian. Your mother insisted on this outfit. She's been training me to be a noble lady, after all."
Adrian took a step closer, his hand gently reaching out to brush a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear. "And she's done an incredible job," he murmured, his voice soft as his eyes locked onto hers.
Chris's breath hitched slightly at the closeness, the familiar warmth between them igniting into something more. Without thinking, she moved closer, wrapping her arms around his neck in a tender embrace.
"I missed you, Adrian," she whispered, her voice filled with longing. "It's hard not being the first person you see when you wake up."
Adrian felt his heart swell with affection and desire as he pulled her closer, his arms encircling her waist. "I missed you too, Chris. And please, call me Adrian, not 'Milord,'" he replied, his voice husky.
Their faces hovered just inches apart, the space between them charged with anticipation. Adrian could feel the warmth of Chris's breath against his lips, the sweet scent of her perfume lingering in the air.
His heart raced, a mix of desire and affection surging through him as he closed the distance between them. He leaned in slowly, savoring the moment, and gently brushed his lips against hers. The initial contact was soft, tender, like a whisper of affection.
Chris responded immediately, her lips parting slightly as she tilted her head, inviting him to deepen the kiss. Adrian took the invitation, pressing his lips more firmly against hers.
The kiss deepened as their lips moved in perfect sync, a dance of passion and longing. Adrian's hand slid up to cup the side of Chris's face, his fingers threading through her silky blonde hair.
He tilted her head slightly, allowing him to angle the kiss just right. His tongue brushed against her lower lip, seeking entry, and Chris eagerly granted it, her mouth opening to welcome him.
Their tongues met in a slow, sensual caress, exploring and tasting each other with a growing hunger.
Adrian's hand on her waist tightened, pulling her even closer, while his other hand continued to cradle her face, his thumb gently stroking her cheek.
Chris moaned softly into his mouth, the sound vibrating through their connected lips and sending a shiver down Adrian's spine.
Chris's hands weren't idle either; they roamed over his shoulders, down his chest, before one slid up to rest at the nape of his neck, pulling him even closer as she pressed her body against his.
The feel of her soft curves against his firm chest ignited something primal in Adrian, and he deepened the kiss further, his tongue exploring every inch of her mouth with increasing intensity.
The kiss was intoxicating, a perfect blend of tenderness and raw passion. Chris's lips were soft and warm, molding perfectly to his, and the taste of her—sweet, with a hint of something he couldn't quite place—only made him crave more.
He lost himself in the sensation, his mind empty of everything but the feel of her lips, the heat of her body, and the rhythm of their shared breath.
Time seemed to stand still as they kissed, each moment stretching into eternity. Adrian's hands began to wander, one sliding down her back to rest on her lower back, while the other stayed cradling her face, keeping her close.
Finally, after what felt like both an eternity and a heartbeat, they broke the kiss, their lips parting reluctantly.
They remained close, their foreheads touching, breaths mingling as they tried to catch their breath. Adrian's heart raced as he gently lifted Chris into a princess carry, her body fitting perfectly against his as her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck.
As he laid her down gently on the soft sheets, Adrian's gaze was full of desire, clearly intent on continuing where their kiss had left off. His hands moved to caress her, but Chris placed a hand on his chest, stopping him just as he was about to lean in.
"Adrian, wait," she said softly, her voice tinged with regret. "I didn't just come here for this. I have something important to tell you."
He paused, the longing in his eyes dimming slightly as concern took its place. "What is it, Chris?"
Chris took a deep breath, her expression turning serious. "I've come to introduce you to your new maid. Since I won't be working as your personal maid anymore."
Adrian felt a pang of disappointment, but he understood. "I'll miss having you as my maid, Chris," he admitted, his voice soft. He then continued, "I'll be able to spend more time with you after you complete your training though, so that's a net positive, I guess."
His words brought great happiness and warmth to Chris's heart as she had never felt such a sense of security from a man. Her father, who was supposed to protect her and her family, had nearly sold them to a brothel.
Chris smiled warmly, leaning up to press a soft kiss to his lips. "And don't worry. I've chosen someone special to take my place. She'll take good care of you."
She slipped off the bed and walked to the door, her movements graceful and poised. Opening it, she called out softly, "Christine, come in."
A moment later, a young girl entered the room. She was around 16 years old, with the same blonde hair as Chris, though hers was slightly lighter and fell in soft waves down her back. Her eyes were a lighter shade of blue, wide and curious as she looked at Adrian.
She had a petite frame, her features delicate and youthful, with a hint of nervousness as she stepped inside.
"Adrian, this is my younger sister,Christine," Chris introduced. "She'll be your new maid. Christine, this is Lord Adrian Everhart."
Christine curtsied politely, her voice soft as she greeted him. "It's an honor to serve you, Lord Adrian."
Adrian studied Christine for a moment, noticing the similarities between the two sisters. Though younger and less experienced, she had the same gentle demeanor and warm presence as Chris. He offered her a kind smile. "Thank you, Christine. I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job."
Chris gave her sister an encouraging nod, then turned back to Adrian. "I'll leave you two to get acquainted. I have to return to my training."
Adrian stood up, walking over to Chris. He took her hand, lifting it to his lips for a tender kiss. "Thank you, Chris. For everything."
She smiled, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. "We'll have plenty of time together in the future, Adrian. I promise." With that, she left the room, leaving Adrian and Christine alone.
Christine glanced up at him shyly, her hands clasped in front of her. "I'll do my best to serve you well, Adrian."
Adrian nodded, feeling a sense of resolution as he looked at the young girl who would now be his maid. "I'm sure you will, Christine. Welcome to the Everhart Manor. And you don't need to call me 'Lord'—just call me big brother," he said as he caressed her head with the affection of someone looking at a younger sister.
