Lavender

Chapter 15 - Dominantly

LAVENDER'S POV

Only minutes passed until we got to Damon's mansion. I must say, the area was relaxing and quiet. Damon's mansion was located near Sunny Isles Beach's south part along Collins Ave. I think the land where Damon's mission is located is also private as I can see how heavy the security is. From the black and high intimidating gates to the cameras that are installed in the bricks near the driveway.

I heard Larry chuckles as he continued to drive. Baffled, I asked. " What seems to be funny?"

Larry just shrugs his shoulder that made me more confused. "I don't know," he said, grinning while maneuvering the car to the parking lot on the left side of the Mediterranean mansion Damon has.

"What?" I asked again while watching Larry park the car.

"Well, it's just the look on your face, Lavender. You look amazed because of Damon's house but wait 'til you see Damon's other properties. This isn't just the property of Damon that screams luxury," he said as he successfully parked and turned off the engine of his Jaguar Land Rover.

"He's that rich?" I asked as I got out of the car together with Larry. In his hands are the foods he take-out from El Tropico Cuban Cuisine.

Larry nodded. "Yeah, actually, Damon's family has been rich since I don't know. Like, way more rich than my family," he said before starting to walk towards the direction of the mansion's entrance when I realized that we hadn't taken out my things from the car.

"Uh, Larry?" I said to Larry who did not notice that I stopped walking with him.

Larry glances back at me, his brows raised. "Yeah?"

"My things? Are we not going to take them out before entering?" I asked that he immediately answered with a smile.

"No. Don't worry, I will be the one putting your things later in your room. For now, your meeting with Daisy is what is important. You will meet her as we eat our lunch," he said that made me nod.

I sighed as I felt nervous again. My thoughts of Damon and him spanking me weren't totally erased in my mind as Larrys' words also kept ringing in my head.

"Careful now. If Damon heard you said that, he would spank you. I'm telling you, Damon can be a little dominant anyway..."

"Oh, damn it!" I suddenly blurted out that made Larry stop from walking before glancing back at me again.

"What's the matter? You okay there?" he asked as he walked towards me and looked at me, finding the problem.

"I-uh, yeah," I said, nodding my head. "I'm okay but can I just take my things and go to my room first?" I asked, feeling my cheeks hot because Damon's risque scenes continue to play in my head.

Damn it! Larry shouldn't really have said those words. Damon is my boss, for Pete's sake but here I am, so affected and feeling hot because of the indecent thoughts that keep playing in my mind.

Larry looked at me, curiosity was written on his face. "Uh, okayyy... take the car key in my pocket, I can't take it with these foods in my hand," he said that instantly made me move towards him and took the car key from his pocket.

"All right, are you sure your okay?" Larry asked, still curiosity was visible in his eyes.

I nod my head again and smile. "Yeah, I just need to take out my things first," I said, that I know did not sate Larry's curiosity.

"Okay, I will send a maid to bring you to your room and help you with your things. Make sure to come down for lunch, okay? Your room is just next to Daisy's room," Larry said that I answered with a nod.

"Okay," I said before turning my back on Larry who's still looking confused.

I sighed when I glanced back at Larry and saw him just entered the mansion. Thank God! Larry let me go because if he didn't, I would have to face Damon with tomato cheeks and I don't want that to happen. It's embarrassing once Larry and Damon found out what I'm thinking when I faced them with my cheeks looking tomato.

I fan myself with my hand before opening the back part of Larry's car where I remember he has put my suitcases earlier. After lifting up the trunk cover, I instantly saw my two suitcases. I took all of my things out of the trunk before closing the trunk again.

Now, both of my bags are on the side of my shoulders while I'm gripping the handles of my two suitcases in my hands. I was about to start walking when a woman wearing a maid uniform appeared beside me.

"Oh, god. You startled me," I said before chuckling. "You must be the one Larry sent?"

"Ah, yes. And you must be the caregiver who's going to take care of Miss Daisy," she said before her eyes darted to my things.

"Please allow me," she said, smiling as she took the suitcase in my left hand and my bag in from my right shoulder. "Follow me," she said with a warm smile on her face that also made me smile before nodding at her.

As I follow the maid inside the mansion, I can't take my eyes off again from the mansion's interior. From the terra-cotta tiles to the chandelier and sconces in every part of the mansion, I really can't help but feel amazed and shocked at how rich Damon is.

Well, maybe because I really don't know him anyway. I really don't care about anyone aside from Jada way back too high. Damon was just like, another stranger to me. I never really care about other people's stories. It was just me I was focusing back then. Especially that after telling Jada about my s****l orientation, I have promised myself that I will never mention any person I find attractive as I know how intrusive Jada can be. Even if she's my best friend, she has a side where she can speak excessively.

Still amazed, I follow the maid Larry sent to me as she started taking steps up to the stairway going to the second floor where colors of white and gold are dominant. We only turned left two times until the maid stopped in front of a birch wood door with six panels in it.

The maid smiles as she turns her gaze on me. "Here's your room while Miss Daisy's room is in this room," she said as she also pointed to a room with a two-panel door. "And lastly, Mr. Larry said that they will wait for you downstairs in the dining room. Where whatever that is comfortable for you for your job as Mr. Damon did not want you to wear a uniform," she said that made me smile.

She was about to walk away when I remembered something. s**t, I almost forgot. This mansion is too big for me on my first day here. I don't know the mansion yet so...

"Uh, can you tell me where the dining room is? I still, uh, don't know the mansion yet," I said that made her chuckle, looking like she just also realized my point. "Yes, yes. The dining room is in the right part of the mansion. "Just turn right two times and one left once you get down the stairs we just walked by, and there you will see a big table, that's where the dining room is," she said that made me nod.

"Okay, thank you," I said before darting my eyes to the door of my room and opening it.

My mouth instantly formed an 'O' as my fancy looking room welcomes me. My room has shades of color like the sea that I see from the window of my room which is also decorated with ripple fold white drapery and wood blinds. The floor has a whitewashed color while columns and pillars are seen in my designated room. While a luxurious, wide bed with heavy and thick comforters is placed in the center of the room, the door of I believe is, the bathroom, is placed on the left side of my designated room near a dresser that I know is valuable.

"Good God, you should have seen my room, Dad," I whispered as I walked near towards my bed. "You should have seen my---"

"Do you like it?" said a man that made me jump in shock.

When I turned around, my cheeks instantly became hot as images of Damon spanking me came back crashing in my mind. Near my door room is Damon, who's looking at me with his usually stern face. He's also wearing a casual outfit, a white shirt that uplifted his look paired with denim jeans. I think everything he wears will look handsome to him.

Fuck! I said, cursing myself in my mind as I realized what I had just thought. And why does he have to suddenly appear here, anyway? Now that he's here, I feel embarrassed.

Gazing away from him, I spoke. "Uh, yeah. I love it. If only I weren't hired as a caregiver, I would feel like I'm on vacation," I said, preventing myself from looking at him.

"Well..." I heard Damon say before footsteps by him are coming near me, making me take a few steps back as if I'm just looking at the sea from my room's window.

"You are allowed to feel that way, Lavender. I choose this place to get the relaxation, after all with my sister. I'm fine sharing what I had with others," Damon said.

"U-uh, okay," I said as my back was slightly facing Damon's direction. I don't know but I can feel Damon's gaze at my back. "Uh, when can I meet your sister?"

"She's throwing a fit in her room after knowing that I hired another caregiver for her. But, don't worry. She will get past this. My sister is kind and smart but because of her condition, symptoms of early-onset dementia will show as you continue your job here," he said that I answered with a nod even if my back is still facing his direction.

I heard Damon sigh in my back before I heard his footsteps coming near me but this time, I did not move to step away. It's just the space in front of me is already gone. I'm already near the full-length window my room has and I'm going to stick at it once I take another step to get far away from Damon.

"You know, Lavender..."

My eyes instantly widen how near Damon is to me, at my back. I can feel his hot breaths touching my neck as he continues to stay in my back.

"I..." I shivered as I felt his hand touch my skin which is now taking small portions of my white hair, feeling him placing my hair in the back of my neck where it would not cover the part of my neck where I could feel his hot breaths hitting.

"I... hate... people," he said before exhaling which caused his breath to touch my neck again, making me shiver that I'm trying hard to hide. "No. I despise people who are not facing me while I'm talking to them. You do know how rude is that, yes?" Damon said in between of my left neck, getting near that is making my heart beat frantically.

What the f**k is he doing? I don't know if Damon is flirting with me or now but all I could think about is how near he is to me, in my back, where my imagination of Damon spanking me happens. The hell!

"Did you hear me, Lavender? Or maybe you have also lost your hearing. I can't have a caregiver for my sister that is rude and unable to hear," he said like a threat that made me instantly nervous.

Goddamn it, Larry. This is all his fault.
