♥ Chapter 14♥

Yara Blake.

Monday.

I'm in the hallway of the mansion, and suddenly Magnus appears in front of me, causing me to accidentally bump into him. My heart races with nervousness. He looks at me with an intensity that makes my heart race even faster.

''I'm sorry, sir!'' I say this nervously, trying to move away.

But as I try to back away, Magnus pulls me tight. His lips meet mine in an intense and unexpected kiss. The kiss is fiery and overpowering, and I feel every touch like a spark of desire I never knew I had. His hands explore my body, and the sensation is so intense that I lose track of time. I feel enveloped and disoriented, and everything around me seems to disappear.

'' Are you having fun without us? What meanies. '' I hear a voice, and, as I turn around, I see Mr. Kael and Mr. Damien approaching as if they were predators.

Before I can react, Kael kisses me with the same intensity as Magnus, and then Damien joins us. I'm completely stunned to feel two men kissing at the same time, their tongues intertwining and exploring every inch of my mouth.

But just as the desire seems about to explode, the sound of the alarm clock resounds through the room, pulling me abruptly back to reality.

06:30 '' Darkmore Brothers' Mansion. '' Bedroom. '' Eldoria.

I wake up with a start, my heart still racing and my body hot. I put my hands over my face, trying to hide my shame and confusion. Furthermore, I've never had such a vivid dream, and the fact that it was with Magnus, Kael and Damien makes me even more upset.

''Why is this happening on my first day at work?'' I ask myself, still dazed and ashamed.

I decided to take a shower to help me focus on my work.

Furthermore, I need to concentrate on my work. I can't let myself get caught up in attraction, even if they are beautiful. It's wrong, I can't allow it. I'm here to earn money—money that can help me get rid of Ronan. I don't want to get involved with anyone. And I'm sure it messes. Darkmore doesn't see me like that; they must prefer experienced women. I have no experience with anything, I don't even know how to kiss properly.

'' Stop thinking about these things, Yara. Just concentrate on your work.

After pulling myself together, I take a quick shower, brush my teeth, and leave the bathroom with the towel around my waist. I go to the closet where I organized my clothes the night before and grab the maid's uniform I found. I'm grateful that the room has an alarm clock, since I don't have a cell phone to use as an alarm.

Furthermore, I put on the uniform and tie my hair up in a ponytail. I take a deep breath, feeling more centered and ready for the day. I put on the shoes that match the uniform and walked out of the room towards the kitchen.

Likewise, I enter the kitchen and find Mrs. Thompson chatting with some other women. They are setting up the table for breakfast. The atmosphere is quiet, and they all seem to be busy with their tasks.

''Good morning, Mrs. Thompson. '' I say, trying to sound confident, despite my anxiety.

She looks at me with a warm smile.

How strange it is to be treated so well, since I've never received this kind of affection before. The feeling is new and a little disconcerting.

''Good morning, Yara. I see you're ready to start your day. These are the other staff from the mansion. Mrs. Elizabeth, Mrs. Helena, and Mrs. Marta.

The other women nodded at me with a smile.

''Hello, Yara. '' says Mrs. Elizabeth. ''I hope you're feeling well. If you need any help, just let us know.

'' Yes, thank you. '' I reply, feeling a little more relieved at their kindness.

Mrs. Thompson approaches me and puts her hand gently on my shoulder.

''As I mentioned yesterday, today you'll start work on the bedrooms and offices. I'll show you what you need to do. But first, let's have a quick breakfast. You don't want to start the day on an empty stomach.

'' That would be great, Mrs. Thompson. '' I say, accepting the offer.

We sit down at the table, and Mrs. Helena pours me a cup of coffee.

''Make yourself at home, Yara. We all go through this at first. You'll soon get used to the routine and the house.

''Thank you. '' I reply, trying to relax and blend in.

After breakfast, Mrs. Thompson takes me for a brief orientation on the day's tasks. She begins to explain them in detail, and I follow her attentively, trying to absorb all the information so that I can get to work in the best possible way and try to forget that dream.
