I stayed in my room the whole day. Mary gave me a novel before going back home to her mom with the real guy named Roy and I looked at him to know what he looked like. The rest of the time I just read the novel.

At night Xander came to my room.

"Take off your clothes!!" He demanded. He had gone back to being his usual cold self.

"M - my clothes?"

"You have cuts on your body where you can't reach." He showed me the ointment. "I will apply it for you."

My eyes went wide.

"I-I can do it myself."

He glared at me and I started talking my clothes off on my own. Why is it like this? Am I fitted with some manual code that he operates?

I left myself in my underwear. I know he has seen me naked but I still have some dignity. I think I do. I hope I do.

I sat on the bed and he sat behind me and stared applying the ointment.

I hissed when he touched my cuts.

"Bear with it. It's good that you got away with such a few cuts and two bruises."

Did I manage it all? Him getting worried? His tone is cold again. I liked it better when he spoke to me worried.

I hissed again.

"It stings!"

"I'm done." He said and I was about to relax when I felt his lips on the nape of my neck. It was a sweet gentle kiss.

"Ma- ster?"

He stood up and I looked at him.

"I'll let you go around the hotel but you can't leave from there. The collar is programed to give you a shock as soon as you exit." He turned to leave, "The place is big enough so you won't feel suffocated."

He left and I touched my nape and sighed in disappointment.

Wait...

Did I just sigh!?!!!?
