Chapter 314: 314. Owe You Dresses

Mauve woke up to Jael looking down at her with a smug look on his face. Her eyes widened and he kissed her forehead.

"You’re finally awake," he said and pulled away.

She blinked, still a little disoriented. She rubbed her eyes as she tried to sit up. "How long have you been awake?" She asked with a yawn.

"A while," he whispered, still staring at her.

Mauve turned away from his gaze. She was certain she looked like a mess, her hair was all over the place and she was sure she had eye goop, she could feel how crusty her eyes were.

"Why didn’t you wake me up?" She asked, fiddling with her hair as she tried to make it less of a mess.

"I think we’ve had this conversation before so you should know why," he smirked and rolled out of the bed.

Mauve’s eyes widened as she was greeted with his pale profile. She caught herself staring and turned away before he turned his gaze back to her.

"Mill should be here soon," he replied as he walked to the wardrobe. "I told her I’ll take care of your bath."

"Okay," Mauve said, still adjusting her hair.

She was dressed in one of her night clothes. Considering she had fallen asleep before the bath was over, it could only mean Jael had helped her dress up.

She smiled at the thought of it, vaguely remembering what she had heard last night. She turned to look at him only to see him staring at her with an odd look on his face.

"What?" She asked bewildered.

"You’re fine with it?" He asked.

"Fine with what?" She frowned, a little lost, wondering if she had missed something. Maybe he spoke to her and she was too engrossed in her thoughts to hear him.

"Fine with me instead of Mill. It’s your first bath of the day." He explained.

Mauve nodded, it wasn’t like it made a difference, he had washed her several times already, it didn’t matter what time of the day it was.

"Okay," he said and turned his back to her, walking to his wardrobe. He pulled out a pair of pants.

"What about my clothes? I don’t suppose you’ll help me with that too." She asked as he put on the pair of pants.

"Mill will take care of that," he replied as he slipped his legs into his pants.

"Okay," she said and stopped fiddling with her hair as she got distracted with him wearing his pants.

As if on cue, a knock rang out. "Come in," Jael said, giving the order.

The door was immediately thrown open and a servant Mauve recognized walked in first and Mack walked in behind him.

The servant bowed immediately as he laid his eyes on Jael, Jael merely waved his hand in the servant’s direction as he walked to the bed.

"Sire." Mack called out.

"Yes," Jael replied without turning to look at him. He had his head bent as he walked to the corner to place the tub.

"My sister said she would be in the next room in a few minutes."

"Okay," he said and stretched out his hand to Mauve who took it. "You may leave," he said.

"Yes, Sire." Their response was simultaneous and it wasn’t until he heard the door shut that he pulled her out of the bed.

There wasn’t a lot of space between the bed and him so she had no choice but the fall against him.

"I’ll help you out of your clothes," he smirked.

"Don’t say it like that," she whined, still clinging to him.

"What do you mean?" He said and grabbed her chest.

The bath ended up taking longer than it needed to because a certain person took his time.

She stepped out of the bath with a towel under her arms and one around her hair. Jael had done a good enough job, she had to give him that even though she had helped but he did wash her hair better than she thought he would be able to.

"Thank you," she said as she walked to the connecting door, looking back at him.

He was still standing by the tub with nothing but a towel around his neck and a smirk on his face.

She glared at him and turned away, feeling his gaze with every step she took. She pushed open the door and Mill rose from her bed.

"Mauve," she smiled brightly. "How do you feel?"

Mauve nodded and grinned at her. "Good, thank you."

"Did you sleep well?" The vampire said, rushing toward her as she led her to the dresser.

"Like a baby," she giggled.

"I am sure," Mill said knowingly.

"Mill," she called out.

"I am joking. How was the bath?"

Mauve nodded.

"That’s good. I was worried you might end up needing my help."

"No, it was fine. Jael did better than expected."

"Well, the fact that he offered to help you with your first bath is shocking in itself."

"You think so?" Mauve asked with a small blush.

She didn’t want to think anything of it because she thought she was overreaching but now that someone has voiced those exact thoughts out, she couldn’t help but dwell on it.

Mill started with lotion, carefully applying it all over her body. She then dressed her in some underwear and just as they were about to decide what dress to wear, the connecting door was thrown open.

Mauve didn’t even flinch, she had expected him to come in sooner. She raised her head to the door and her eyes widened a little.

He was dressed in his usual, a pair of pants and a shirt. His hair was still wet and it looked like he had not bothered with combing it. He has simply dried it with a wet cloth and ran his fingers through them.

Mauve found herself staring more than she needed to, at this point she wasn’t certain if she preferred him dressed or undressed.

He caught her staring and he winked at her. She turned away immediately, the hint of blush on her cheeks.

"Sire," Mill said, stopping what she was doing by the wardrobe and turning around to give Jael a bow.

"Carry on, don’t let me interrupt you."

"As you wish." She bowed and turned to the wardrobe.

"What would you like to wear, Mauve? Is there a particular dress you have in mind?"

"I am fine with whichever you pick," she mumbled. It wasn’t like she had a lot and coupled with the ones Jael already ripped, the number of her dresses had dwindled.

He took a step forward and touched her cheeks, "I do owe you a set of new dresses, don’t I?"

Mauve wasn’t sure if she should respond so she just looked at him.

"I ripped quite a number of them," he smirked.

"Don’t sound so proud," she glared at him.

"You’ll get your dresses," he said and bent his head to kiss her lips but Mauve turned and the kiss landed on her cheek.

Jael pulled back and stared at her oddly but with the bright look on her face, he immediately understood.

"I am sure Mill doesn’t mind."

"Jael."

"Mill," he called out. "Do you mind if I kiss Mauve?"

"Jael," she cried as her face turned a scarlet red. "Don’t ask her that."

"No, Sire." She responded.

"Why not? You see she doesn’t mind."

She glared at him and he pulled his hand away, holding them up in mock surrender. Mill chose that moment to walk toward them with a dress in hand.

It was a lilac dress, she has worn it before. Mauve frowned a bit at the short sleeve but she was trying hard not to cover them any more.

"What do you think?" The vampire asked as she stood in front of her holding the dress up.

"I like it," she replied.

She saw the look of surprise on Mill’s face which immediately changed to a bright smile. "I am glad, I will help you get into it."

"Thank you, Mill."

"The pleasure is all mine," Mill said as she helped Mauve to her feet and into the dress.

She could feel Jael gaze on her bosom as the dress did show an ample amount of cleavage. She raised her head to look at him and blushed at his look of approval.

"You look beautiful," Mill said.

"Stop," she blushed. "It’s not like I haven’t worn this dress before."

"Still doesn’t take away from how good you look."

Mauve chuckled, "Thank you, Mauve."

"You are welcome, sit, let me help you with your hair."

Mauve nodded as the vampire got to work. She finished with her hair quickly and Mauve rose to her feet. She checked her reflection one more time before approaching the bed where Jael was seated.

His gaze never wavered as she walked to him and Mauve had to keep her gaze to the ground for fear that she might trip.

"What do you think?" She asked as she got in front of him.
