“Hey, what did you do with the birth control Hugh got for me yesterday?”
I halt at the end of the hall when instead of seeing Silvan at the stove making breakfast, I see him sitting at the islandwaiting forbreakfast.
My gaze drifts to Olena at the stove, and my lips thin.
I look back at him and cock an eyebrow.
“It’s in my school bag. I’ll grab it,” he says, hopping off the chair.
I follow him, keeping my voice low. “You really brought the maid who wants to bang you?”
He smirks. “Gotta keep you on your toes.”
“How dare you.”
He laughs and grabs me, pulling me in for a kiss. “I’m just teasing. You know I’m only interested in you.”
“Yeah, that’s great, but I am not as trusting as your mom.”
“No one’s as trusting as my mom,” he says lightly as he lets me go and reaches into his bag.
“We do not need a maid,” I tell him.
“We don’t needamaid, or we don’t needthatmaid?”
“Either. Both. I don’t know. I’m perfectly capable of cooking and cleaning. Do you know how to cook?”
“Nope.”
“Then I’ll show you. It’ll be fun.”
“I’m fine with that, but I don’t see why either of us should waste our time cleaning. Why don’t we have her over a couple of times a week at least to keep the place in order?”
“If we must have someone come once or twice a week, can it at least be the maid who doesn’t call you master like she’d rather be working off her debt tied to your bed than cooking us breakfast?”
Silvan smirks. “Sure. If it makes you feel better, I’ll tell Ilona to come next time.”
“Thank you.”
He hands me the birth control, his amused gaze never leaving mine. “You’re welcome.”
___
Silvan’s classes run later than mine on Tuesday, so Hugh brings me home alone.
As soon as I scan in to enter the building, though, all I can think about is if Silvan is being notified.
He has completely taken over my life and hasn’t left even a sliver of it alone. I don’t like the idea that I’m unable to come and go without him knowing, so I hatched an idea between classes today.
Rather than go directly upstairs, I hoist my bag on my shoulder and approach the receptionist.
She beams me a big smile. “Hello, Miss Bradwell. Are you enjoying your new apartment?”
“Yes, it’s lovely, thank you.” I flash her a pleasant smile. “I was hoping you could help me with something, though.”
She nods, eager to help. “Of course.”
“This morning, Silvan had a maid come over to make us breakfast and clean up the apartment while we were out. Does she have a building key?”
