It‘s Now or Never However, I wasn‘t alone for long. Night fell quickly over the pack, and soon after Estrella left the room, I heard a knock on the door. “Miss Rosalie, can we come in?” It was Mrs. White again, with two other young girls. “Of course, please!” I replied politely. I was still not used to being served. One of the younger girls placed some salad in front of me. The doctor‘s order had to be followed, so I started eating while watching the rest of the group working on my room. Like last time, they lit the candles, ran the hot water, and added flower petals.

Mrs. White noticed that I had put down my plate, so she walked over to help me get into the bath

“I… may I do it myself?” I asked Mrs. White with as much courage as I could muster.

“Miss Rosalie, it‘s our job to prepare you…”

“I insist. Please?”

I wanted to do this on my own. It just didn‘t feel right having other women get me ready to lose my virginity.

Mrs. White hesitated for a moment. Then she nodded her head and closed the bathroom door for me.

A sigh of relief left me. Walking toward the bathroom, I took off my clothes and removed the clip that had kept my long hair up all day. My hair cascaded down in loose waves of silk around my shoulders, continuing well past my waist. Stepping into the hot fragranced waters, I allowed the smell of sage and lavender to fill my nostrils. The combination relaxed me and helped to calm my mind. “You can do this, Rosalie,” I whispered to myself. “This is the cost of freedom.” Sitting in the water, I pondered everything I was going to have to do. “Just relax… the Alpha will take the lead, and all I need to do is to follow his instructions. I can do this

Once the water began to grow cold, I stepped out of the bath and wrapped myself with the large white cotton bath towel they gave me. I wasn‘t sure when Alpha Ethan would be here, but I made sure to prepare myself just as the maids had done before. My eyes went to the pills Estrella had given me. I stared at them as they sat upon the counter in their small container.

I didn‘t want to admit to myself that I would need them, but maybe I did. I took the pills from the container and rolled them around on my palm. I closed my eyes and let a sigh escape me.copy right hot novel pub
