Chapter 71: Good Morning, Young Master~

When the morning sun shone brightly outside, its light shimmered through the window, reflecting off the surface of the bed and illuminating the cozy bedroom with a warm orange glow.

Two figures rested on the bed facing each other, lying side by side, wearing nothing except for thin blankets covering their naked bodies.

They appeared to be in a position to fuck each other, but neither of them made a move. Instead, they simply enjoyed the tranquility and intimacy while sleeping next to each other.

One of them was the handsome young man named Asher Blake with black hair and blue eyes, the heir of the powerful Blake family, and his partner was a beautiful, mature woman named Maria.

A gentle smile bloomed on the woman's face as she looked lovingly at the young man.

Her delicate fingers brushed lightly across his smooth cheek, stroking it tenderly as if she were touching something valuable.

Then her fingertips slowly traced across his chin and moved downward, tracing the contours of Asher's neck towards his muscular chest and toned abs.

At the same time, the young woman felt his warmth radiating from beneath his blanket. The touch of his bare skin sent tingles coursing through her body, making her heart flutter as a faint blush gradually spread over her cheeks.

And these actions caused Asher to slowly open his eyes, revealing his majestic blue eyes shining with clarity.

Maria blushed heavily once she realized that Asher had awoken and saw how close her face was to his, which made her feel embarrassed by her bold behavior.

'No, no. He won't think anything of this!' She told herself firmly, determined to retain her composure despite her inner turmoil. 'He probably thinks I just woke up early and haven't yet regained my rationality! Yeah, that must be it!'

'I shouldn't allow my desires to get in the way of our professional relationship! Maybe he already has a girl he likes! Yeah, that's it!' Maria calmed herself while pushing all the wicked thoughts down.

However, he still wanted to maintain this closeness and develop his feelings for this woman, so he decided to extend some reassurance. "Don't worry, you're welcome here," he said encouragingly.

Although Maria was surprised, she immediately regained her composure as she smiled faintly at Asher. Her expression turned gentle as she stared into his blue eyes.

She thought, 'Yeah, he doesn't treat me as just a toy or like some whore for pleasure. I think I'm starting to like him more. Even if I can't love him like that, I would still want to work harder for him.'

Asher smirked before reaching out to place a hand on Maria's soft cheek. "There's nothing wrong with us getting closer. After all, I also enjoy your pleasant company and that wild side of yours."

The words coming out of Asher's mouth caught Maria off guard completely as her heartbeat increased rapidly. Heat rushed to her face and warmed her cheeks up instantly.

"Young Master..." Maria breathed out, unable to say anything else because she was overwhelmed by emotions coursing through her veins right now.

But before she could finish what she was going to say, Asher leaned forward until their noses touched, staring deeply into each other's eyes.

She froze like a deer caught in the headlights as his lips pressed together for a kiss. Her body stiffened, but she slowly relaxed when Asher pulled away.

It was just a peck, but it felt amazing.

"Anyway, we should probably start getting ready for breakfast. Let's go." He declared.

And with that, he quickly got off the bed without giving Maria a chance to protest.

Her brain was currently processing what happened as her heart pounded faster and harder, making her want to scream loudly and throw herself at him right now.

But she had to control herself since it was already daytime. She, as a new maid, couldn't just go around fucking while everyone was awake.
