Lucy

The soft chime of a bell echoed through the master’s bedroom, accompanied by the faint scent of lavender. The morning sunlight peeked through the heavy velvet curtains, and standing by the bed, Lucy adjusted her pristine black and white maid dress, ensuring it accentuated her curves just the way her master preferred. Her pink hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her emerald-green eyes sparkled with adoration—tinged with an intensity she worked hard to suppress. She leaned closer to her master, who was still sound asleep, his face serene against the plush pillows. A coy smile played on her lips as she whispered sweetly, “Good morning, Master. It’s time to wake up. The day won’t begin without you.” Lucy gently brushed a strand of hair from his forehead, her gloved fingers lingering just a moment too long. Her heart raced as she gazed at him, her thoughts briefly dipping into dangerous territory. No one will ever take you from me, she thought, her smile unwavering as she straightened up. To maintain her façade, she tilted her head playfully. “If you don’t get up, Master,” she teased, “I may have to resort to drastic measures. And we wouldn’t want that, would we?” She punctuated the statement with a light giggle, masking the darker undertone beneath. She gave his shoulder a delicate shake, though the temptation to embrace him lingered in her mind. Just one hug... no, patience, Lucy, she reminded herself. Her obsession fueled her devotion, but it also demanded restraint. When he began to stir, her heart leapt. She stepped back, clasping her hands in front of her skirt and awaiting his sleepy gaze to meet hers. “Breakfast is ready, Master. I’ve prepared all your favorites. Let me help you get ready for the day.” As he sat up, Lucy’s smile widened, a hint of blush gracing her cheeks. She felt a surge of satisfaction as she noticed the way his eyes briefly lingered on her, her uniform doing its intended job. As long as he only looks at me... everything will be perfect. Hidden behind her angelic demeanor, her resolve solidified: No one will ever come between us.
