Villain transmigration: The doll maker.-Chapter 86:Apologies.

"Master your bath is ready." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Luna’s voice came. I stopped reading and placed the book on the table before patting my lap.

She walked over slowly and straddled me. She gingerly wrapped her hands around my neck after settling down.

"After this, you should go and rest, the journey was long and we have a long way to go."

I said to Luna, who seemed conflicted by my words.

"You don’t want me to help you bathe?"

I nodded.

"Yes, I’ll be soaking in the water for a while that would be a waste of your time if you have to wait that long."

"A medicinal bath?"

I nodded. I would sometimes do this: I would mix different potions and medicines and take a bath inside. It helps with my muscles and keeps me healthy.

"We should all have a good rest. If you want one, you can make one."

Luna nodded and unbuttoned a few buttons on her dress. She turned to the side giving me full access to her neck which I bit into.

Her blood flowed into my mouth as I gulped down hungrily. Luna’s hands tightened around my neck with every pull. After a while i stopped drinking and healed her wound.

She held onto me tightened as she recovered from the blood drain.

"Did I take too much?"

I asked her while checking her blood. I sighed in relief, I hadn’t taken too much.

"No, master i think I’m just dizzy from the exhaustion."

She quietly said and leaned against my chest. My hand ran through her hair as she buried herself even more into my embrace.

This was one of the moments I treasured. The quiet times she would lean on me and just listen to my heartbeat. She had started this habit after I placed the obedience spell inside of her.

Luna was fiercely independent and these moments confirmed her dependence on me despite not really talking much except when asked.

"Do you want to sleep here ?"

I asked her. Luna shook her head.

"I’m fine master, it was just momentary, I’m okay now."

She moved back from me and stood up reluctantly straightening her wrinkled dress.

"I’ll be leaving master, if you need me please don’t hesitate to call."

She bowed and walked out of the room. My eyes followed movements until she was out of the door. I closed my eyes and leaned back letting out a heavy sigh.

"Ooh god, this is torture."

I walked to the bathtub and poured the blue liquid inside. It bubbled a little before the clear warm water turned purple. I let the robe I was wearing fall to the ground and stepped into the water.

The moment it touched my skin, the potion burned a little but then a wave of pleasure rushed through my body as I relaxed inside the hot water.

I closed my eyes and let the potion wash through my body, cleaning and detoxing it. With the amount of potions I take and harmful experiments I do most of the time, I’m exposed to body was bound to accumulate toxins and impurities that are undetectable unless they are in excess.

A sand glass later i got out of the now almost black water and rinsed myself with clean water before getting out.

I picked another bathrobe put it on and walked to my bed and sat down.

"That was refreshing."

I mumbled to myself. I hadn’t noticed it before but my body felt lighter. I rang one of the bells and two servants came and cleared out the bathtub and got rid of everything before closing the door behind them silently.

I was just about to start reading when a knock came to my door. It was hesitant at first before the one knocking seemed to gain confidence and knocked harder.

I got out of bed and pulled open the door to find Jeneviv nervously standing by the door her hand raised to knock again. She awkwardly placed her hand down and chuckled nervously.

"Is something the matter?"

I asked her watching how her body moved around filled with barely concealed nervousness.

"I’m.. I’m...I..don’t..."

She stammered while looking around nervously.

"Come in if you don’t want to talk while standing outside."

I stepped back and she walked in while rubbing the side of her arm.

While I followed behind her, that was when I noticed she was dressed in only her nightwear. This visit might have been impulsive.

"Sit."

I poured her a cup of tea and sat opposite her on the couch. She held the hot drink to herself and glanced at me then took a sip.

"Is something the matter?"

I asked again. Sitting beside her looking at how small she was it was impossible to believe she was older than me.

"I..i..I came to apologize about the other night, I couldn’t sleep until i apologised to you...I’m sorry."

She stammered and lowered her eyes. I could see that her hands were trembling as she spoke. This must have taken a lot of courage to speak.

"What you did was reckless, very reckless i don’t like the fact that I gave you permission and you misused it Jeneviv. You know me well enough, this could have ended really badly for you but I know Seraph was the one who pulled you into it. This is my last warning. "

I said coldly. Jeneviv nodded and her eyes watered before she started crying silently. I sighed and walked towards her and sat next to her.

"I’m..sorry..hic..please don’t.."

She mumbled through her tears as she tried to talk again.

"Come here... I’m not going to do anything to you. You helped me pay the other day, just call it compensation. "

She looked up and jumped into my arms. She straddled my lap and continued to cry against my shoulders.

Her body was so light.

She was probably scared I might erase her memories or was genuinely remorseful.

"Can..can I kiss you please ..master.."

She mumbled against my shoulders. That surprised me. I pushed her back and faced her shy but eager eyes.

"That’s a very dangerous thing to requested jeneviv."

I said quietly but she shook her head and wrapped her hands around my neck looking at me fearfully but boldly.

"I know what I’m doing master."

She said in an unwavering tone while looking at me seriously. I chuckled.

"Sure, just a small one and you can go to sleep. "

She looked at me more eagerly and nodded. I chuckled again and leaned in to take her lips.

Her lips were small, pouty, and tasted like the rose tea she just drunk. I sucked on her bottom lip a little and moved back to see that she had her eyes fully closed and blushing.

"Open your mouth and stick your tongue out."

I mumbled softly. She looked at me in confusion but did as I instructed. Her mouth fell open and her small but shy tongue snuck out of her mouth, barely.

I leaned in and bit into it softly not enough to hurt but just to nibble. I held the back of her head firmly in place and pushed my tongue inside her mouth.

She made noises that barely managed to escape as we kissed. My tongue explored her mouth while her shy one, tentatively followed what I was doing and teased my tongue unknowingly.

It was sinful in its own way.

Her body started to struggle after a while and I pulled back. She took a deep breath and looked up at me in a daze. Her eyes were watering and tears had fallen down her cheeks.

A blush more pink than the one before had taken over her face and had gone down her neck.

"Is that good enough for a first kiss?"

I asked her. She looked confused at my question before nodding.

"It feels good."

She answered unhesitatingly. I nodded and pulled her closer.

"That’s good to hear then.

"Can we do this..again. "

She asked hesitantly while avoiding my eyes. I nodded.

"You can come for your kiss whenever you want."

She smiled and nodded. We sat in a comfortable silence before she stood up abruptly breaking it.

"I’ll be going then master, I... thank you for not being too angry with me."

She mumbled under her breath but I still managed to catch it. I stood up and escorted her to the door and opened it.

She glanced up at me one more time before she hurriedly slipped out of the room.

"Well, that went better than I expected. "

I mumbled to myself as I walked back to my bed and resumed reading. Jeneviv was terribly shy, so to have the courage to approach me like that was a sort of improvement on her part.

She had definitely gotten used to living with other people unlike her lonesome self when she lived in that village alone with neighbours ready to pounce on her the next minute.
