Chapter 19

The only thing Winston politely offered Sally was the pair of stockings.

‘…Alright, what was this maniac doing?’

“Go on, get dressed.”

Saying so, he grinned as if wishing for a compliment while wiggling the thin stockings playfully in front of Sally’s eyes.

“Or, shall I clothe you, noble Miss Bristol?”

“Captain, please. I’m really sorry.”

As she begged, he grinned and hung the stockings over his jacket. Sally pulled her knees up and wrapped them around herself, curling her body even further.

Even though she was in the hot water, her hands and feet were frozen. It was due to the helplessness. It was the worst situation. She couldn’t run away because she was naked. Besides, it was fatal to have a fight naked. She had to fight while revealing the vital points of her body.

Sally felt like a fish in Winston’s tank. How stupid it was that she jumped into the tank herself…? He would take her out in one breath, put her on a chopping board, and greedily devour her…

“Captain, please let me go. I will never use the bathroom again.”

“Hmm.”

Winston replied with a smile only on his lips. His eyes were that of a lion with mouth-watering prey in front of him.

“Can you tell me in advance instead? I’ll come in early.”

He unbuttoned his shirt and pulled off the cuffs of his sleeves until the prominent curves of his chest were visible. The sleeves were slowly rolled up below the elbow, revealing the smooth forearm. Dark shadows tinted vertically due to his clearly split muscles.

His muscles were not the only ones solid there. As she glanced at the exposed body, the fear that she might have to fight with a strong man with her bare hands came closer.

Sally recalled in her head the various self-defense techniques she had learned and used.

…Let’s just avoid the worst. But, what was worse: being forced to sleep with that person or using her self-defense skills too well to be discovered as a spy?

“I can give you a special wash. That’s doable for Miss Bristol, who is struggling for me.”

‘I am suffering because of you, not for you.’

Sally bit her lip as she wept. It was getting worse and worse.

Normally, Winston would be light-hearted and sarcastic when something offended him, though now, his light actions and words were not sarcastic at all. He was really rejoicing like a child who received his Christmas present eight months early. That meant that no such thing like a desperate apology would work.

Moreover, unlike Winston’s upper body, as he leisurely rolled up his opposite sleeve, his lower body seemed impatient because the front of the pants was already rising like it was about to rip.

‘That bastard rutting all the time…’

“Gasp!”

After folding his sleeves, his hand turned to the black leather belt.

“Please, don’t take it off!”

“Do you want me to come in dressed?”

He tilted his head at Sally as if she was saying something bizarre.

“You’re naked, but if I am clothed, it’s a big disrespect.”

His hand unbuckled the belt buckle and unbuttoned his pants at once. That bastard was really thinking of going into the bathtub.

“Kyaaak!”

As he grabbed his pants and underwear and pulled them down, Sally squeezed her eyes shut and screamed.

When the sound of his footsteps drew closer together with the sound of laughter, she crouched closer to her body as she felt a movement right next to the bathtub. There was a dull sound of something heavy falling on the rug next to the bathtub. At the same time, there was a loud jingle of the belt buckle.

He really took his clothes off. What if he got into the bathtub…? Even though Sally knew it was not the time to cover her eyes, she didn’t want to open her eyes to see that person’s naked body.

Burying her face between her knees and curled up when the finger touched her earlobe, she shook her head in amazement. And then, another smirk passed through her ears.

“I didn’t take it off. Open your eyes.”

She slowly opened her eyes and glanced over to see that Winston was really dressed. Anger followed immediately after relief. He made fun of people by acting like he was about to attack. It was a really bad joke.

Still, anger soon gave way to embarrassment. Winston sat on the rug on the floor with one elbow resting in the bathtub. Sally’s face turned to contemplation as she belatedly remembered what was on the rug.

‘My underwear…!’

Leaning her head out, she looked down at the rug, with her body still curled up.

‘…Damn you, kinky bastard.’

Winston had the bloomer she had left on the rug in his opposite hand. He didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding the front of his pants.

“Ack!”

A finger that had been draped over the edge of the bathtub poked Sally’s cheek.

“Did you apply the medicine I gave you?”

Sally asked in a vigilant voice, dodging towards the wall.

“Captain, are you drunk?”

Again, the smell of strong alcohol wafted from him as he grinned.

“Don’t worry. I’m fine enough that I won’t do anything I’ll regret when I wake up tomorrow morning.”

Winston rested his elbows on the edge of the bathtub and pressed his chin on his raised knuckles. The wind blew as he brought his face closer. It felt like he was going to reach out and snatch her body at any moment. Even the blink of his eyes made her anxious.

“I just want to chat. We haven’t seen each other for a few days, haven’t we?”

Did he think that they were lovers who couldn’t live without seeing each other for even a day…?

Sally thought she was only going to live without seeing him. And then, to chat with the naked woman stuck in the bathtub…

It was a blatant lie.

“If you need a report, nothing happened during those days when you weren’t there.”

Although she suppressed her inner feelings, a cold wind blew from her voice. She must not show her hostility towards him. Sally always had to pretend that she was a compliant and good maid, but he was tenaciously testing her patience.

Sally cleared her throat and added kind words.

“So, don’t worry, Captain.”

“Really? Then, why did you go to Winsford a few days ago?”

“…Yes?”

How did he know where she was a few days ago? Did he pass by? Perhaps, it was because of the gun that he had her followed? Still, no one followed her into the back alley on her way home.

AD

“Did you see me?”

“Yes.”

“But, why are you asking that?”

“It was pretty annoying. I can’t concentrate on my work.”

“Why does that interfere with the Captain’s work? If you go to a big city when you feel cramped, it’ll be a change of pace.”

“With your fiancé.”

“Yes…?”

“Is that change of pace like hanging out with your fiancé naked like you are now?”

“My fiancé is not in Winsford.”

“So, you’re rolling around outside Winsford?”

“….”

The maid stared straight at the man who insulted her. The woman’s place was as a lady in a rustic country. It got more appetizing when this woman didn’t know her place… Like now, she had taken over her master’s bathtub as a maid.

“Then, where is your fiancé?”

Sally stared at Winston calmly.

Winsford and fiancé. Why was he fussing over things that have nothing to do with him…?

Jimmy thought Winston saw her as a woman, although Sally thinks differently… To that person, he just used his handkerchief to masturbate, that was all.

So, were those leading questions?

“Are you going to call the police for that gun?”

“Then, are you going to do everything to save your fiancé?”

“No.”

Leon couldn’t hold back the laughter when the maid refused words as soon as he finished speaking. He didn’t mean to, but he didn’t think he would be able to threaten her and make her spread her legs.

“You say you’re engaged? It looks like he was going to be punished, so you’re just going to leave it alone?”

“I have to take care of myself.”

Of course, these sarcastic remarks could not have been Sally’s sincerity.

Wasn’t Jimmy her lifelong comrade? Whatever danger he faced, she would not give up until the end and would save him. So, this was just a way to avoid uncomfortable topics.

“Oh, I see.”

…Did it work?

Winston laughed to himself, and he reached for his jacket. He was rummaging through his clothes and found a small box in his hand before taking out a red candy from the box and held it to Sally’s lips.

“I bought it with you in mind.”

Surprised, he shoved the candy between her lips, who had unknowingly opened her mouth. Sally wrinkled her brow as she reflexively rolled the lump over her tongue.

‘I think he’s drunk…’

…To buy a candy thinking of her, which was something lovers would say to each other.

Leon stared intently at the woman who sucked candy while puffing one of her cheeks, not knowing the creepy truth behind those words. If he put his p*nis in that tiny mouth and pushed, would her cheeks puff out like that…?
