Chapter 2

When Ashley kneeled along with the three ladies, I reached out and caressed her head. I knew that was what Ashley wanted me to do. That was the way a night creature with a higher social standing in the Clan would show appreciation to his servants.

Before Ashley could open her mouth earlier, I knew right away that she was the one behind those ‘gifts’. She had been working for me for eleven years now. I could see right through her without having to dig deeper in her mind.

The truth was I just wanted to sleep the rest of the night. That was the reason why I left the party downstairs which probably surprised most of the visitors. But since the ladies were here, looking so eager to please me, I don’t mind welcoming this kind of distraction.

I tried to smile appreciatively. “I am very much pleased, Ashley. Thank you for this.”

“Anything for you, Young Master.”

Ashley lifted her head to unzip my pants using only her mouth as another woman removed my coat and unbuttoned my long-sleeved polo. Seconds later and my clothes were thrown off the floor. The only thing left was my boxers. The other two women took each of my hand and brought me to the bed.

I lay on the bed and for the first time, I allowed the women to take the lead. It will be my little gift to them. Anticipation filled their faces. I closed my eyes when I felt Ashley teasingly ran her lips outside my boxers before she completely got rid of it with the help of the impatient woman beside her.

“Slow down, ladies. The night is ours,” I said, now amused.

Both of them just giggled as they began to lick my shaft up and down while their playful fingers glided over it. They took turns squeezing it with their lips.

I indulged the other woman who took my hand and placed it on her breast. I fondled on her nipple and heard her moan as the other woman planted a soft kiss on my chest. I grabbed the head of the woman closest to me. I opened my eyes and was about to reach for her lips when Candice’s innocent face suddenly popped inside my mind again which made me push the woman.

“You… you could be the perfect husband, you know? You would warm me up with your embrace when I’m cold and would be there for me when I call.” For the countless time, I heard those words rang in my ears like a broken record.

“Will you marry me then?” I asked while wiping the sweat off her face. “I’d be there for you every single day of your life. I’ll take care of you forever.”

Candice chuckled. Her cheeks were redder than usual because of the liquor. “You really are a loyal best friend, you know. You’ve cheered me up. Thanks, Blake. You’re the best.”

I winced upon the memory. Damn. Who was I kidding? Things like this fill a void but only for a while. I could not even get my member up. Because even after all the women’s efforts, I feel… nothing.

“Young Master?”

The concern in Ashley’s voice cannot be denied. I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling more worn out than before. “I’m sorry. I don’t think I can do this after all.”

Fall in love, they said. It will be fun, they said. What a load of crap. Until when will your memories haunt me like this, Candice?

I heard Ashley sighed. “If you are not satisfied with our service, shall I send more women here, Young Master? Shall I-“

Her words were interrupted when someone knocked on the door. I didn’t know whether to be grateful by the interruption or be bothered by it. No one would dare disturb me when I am inside my room unless it was a very important matter. I motioned the women to gather my clothes.

“Pardon my intrusion, Young Master. But I have urgent news to deliver. It was about Lady Candice.”
