Laila couldnt speak when Ramji kisses her fingers. His thumb stroked the side of her hand and his eyes were hot, the look stole her breath and made her blush.
Seated at the table her eyes rested on Ramji after Weebits comments, worried that he might somehow be offended, but he didnt seem to be. Star was teasing her when Rath approached from behind. His steps were silent and Laila didnt hear him until he cleared his throat.
“You really should introduce me to your new friends sometime. But right now I am in a bit of a hurry and am leaving...”
Lailas head lowered and she starts to scoot her chair back away from the table.
“No, dont get up. You may stay with your friends for now, I wont be needing you. Remember what time you are required to lock things up.”
Never lifting her head Laila quietly replies, “Yes, master.”
“I'm afraid I did not hear that. What was it you said?”
Cheeks flaming but in a clear voice Laila replies, “Yes, master.”
“Very well then” Rath replies in a smug voice. That should leave no doubt in their minds that she is a servant and beneath all of them, especially myself...
Rath turns and walks away. Star wraps an arm around Laila. “We dont care about him, or what he says or thinks...”
Laila nods her head, stealing a glance at Ramji.
Alise stomps her foot, frustrated and wanting to slap the smug look off Raths face. “Mon Dieu…. cet âne pompeux…”*
Stoney nods but keeps a light grip on her forearm, afraid she will make things worse if she gets up and yells at the vampire.
*pompous ass
