Savage's

CHAPTER 20

*Daisy*

After our talk on the roof terrace, I felt slightly more connected to Gray, but when he avoided me for the rest of the day, I wasn't so sure what to think. Maybe he just wanted to give me space? Or... maybe he thinks I'm gross, because of all the men that have rented me in the past. I am used goods, I suppose.

It was Monday, and Gray already left for work. I woke up around nine, and changed into one of the new outfits I found for myself. It was black jogging pants, with an oversized T-shirt. I didn't want to show off my body, I wasn't comfortable doing that. The bigger and baggier the clothes, the better.

I walked downstairs, where I found Fran in the kitchen, making something for breakfast. Alexa and Alistair were at the table, as well as the two other new men I haven't met yet. Shwinn came in, briefly, just to grab food and leave again. I sat beside Alexa at the table, while Fran carried out a large bowl.

"Oatmeal with fruit, a nutritious meal to start the day." Fran beamed with a bright smile.

"Oatmeal?" Alexa grunted, staring at the bowl of food in disgust.

"It's good for you." Fran smirked, setting a small bowl in front of everyone.

"Thank you, Fran." Alistair said, dishing himself a full bowl.

"Thank you." I muttered, waiting my turn.

I noticed the other two men staring at me, and it made me feel uncomfortable. I quickly ate breakfast, and left the kitchen table before anyone else. I retreated back upstairs to the bedroom, and sat on the bed. My heart was racing, and my body temperature was rising to an unatural high. I could feel sweat building up underneath my hair on my scalp, and I started fanning myself with my hand.

I stumbled into the bathroom, and started running a cold shower. I stripped my clothes off and stepped inside, letting the chilly water cool off my simmering body. My heart started to slow down, and soon I was feeling much better. I stepped out of the shower and dried off, changing back into my clothes.

When I walked out of the bathroom, I found Alexa waiting for me, sitting on the bed. She studied me for a moment, and patted the side of the bed next to her. I sat down, waiting for her instructions. I know they haven't treated me like a slave, but I can't help but act like one anyway.

"There will be a moving company here today, packing up Gray's things... but don't worry, the guards are here to keep an eye on us." Alexa smiled, winking.

"Have you met the new guards?" I asked, thinking of those two men staring at me.

"Yeah, they're really nice." She responded, so casually, like there was nothing to worry about.

"What are their names?" I asked, curious.

"The one with dark hair is Rome, and the other little hottie with brown hair is Casimir, but he goes by Caz." Alexa giggled.

"Okay..." I muttered, feeling anxious with so many men in the house.

Alexa scoffed, and tugged on my arm, pulling me out of the bedroom. I followed her downstairs, where everyone was still eating breakfast. They stopped talking when we walked back in the room, and all eyes were on me. I tried to pull my arm away, but Alexa had a firm grip.

"Guys, this is Daisy." Alexa introduced me, keeping me pinned to her side.

"Hey Daisy," The one with short black hair smiled brightly, "I'm Rome."

"I'm Casimir, but call me Caz." The other added.

Caz had short light brown hair, that was touseled in every direction. While Rome's hair was so short, it could only lay forward. Both men were extremely muscular, even more than Gray. Rome was covered in tattoos, and Caz had some too, but not as much. I watched as Alexa drooled over Caz, and giggled to myself on the inside.

"Nice to meet you, both." I smiled at each of them, and attempted to flee, but Alexa still held tight.

Before anyone could say anything else, the doorbell rang. Alistair, Rome, and Caz were on their feet within seconds, running towards the elevator door. Alexa, Fran, and I stayed in the kitchen, allowing them to handle the situation. Soon there were tons of men walking around everywhere. It was the moving company.

"They're the moving company, here to start packing things." Alistair said, entering the kitchen again.

"What should we do?" Alexa asked.

"If you guys want to lable boxes, you're more than welcome." One of the movers said, chuckling.

"Okay, why not?" Alexa shrugged, following the majority of the workers.

I took a deep breath, and followed her into the living room. They wasted no time, and already had boxes packed, as well as brining in more empty boxes. I followed Alexa, and we began labling the boxes, as best as we could anyway. This went on for a couple of hours, until Gray walked out of the elevator.

I smiled up at him, feeling elated to see him. I don't know why, but he has become a form of comfort for me. Gray asked if we had lunch, and Fran invited us into the kitchen. She made turkey sandwiches, along with some tasty sides. As we sat for lunch, we made small talk, and I asked him about work. He wanted to wait and talk later, but Alexa insisted we talk now, and Gray spilled the truth; his sister saw me and Alexa at the mall on Saturday.

"What did she say?" Alexa asked, her mouth agape.

"She was basically blackmailing me," Gray grimly replied, "but it backfired, luckily."

"I know we have to be more careful, but I am still sorry I put you in that position." Alexa glumly responded.

"It's okay," Gray shook his head, "It's handled... for now."

"Do you think she's going to tell your parents?" Alexa asked, and I cringed at the thought of Gray's mother.

"If she does, her reputation is destroyed." Gray shrugged, acting unbothered by the situation all of a sudden.

"Ah, I see," Alexa snickered, "You had dirt on her too, huh?"

"I always have dirt on my opponents." Gray smirked, and I felt a shiver run down my entire body.

Gray was a gorgeous man, in every way shape and form. He was tall, with slightly tan skin, dark brown hair, and dark blue eyes. His jaw was square, and his lips were thin, but crafted in such an appealing shape. When he smiled, even his nitorious crooked smirk, I can't help but feel a sensation I've never felt before. I feel excited, like I can't catch my breath, and once again my heart is racing.

We finished lunch, and Gray left to go back to work, while we continued labling boxes. By the time the evening rolled around, we had a lot done. Those movers are quick, we almost couldn't keep up with the lables! I left to go take a shower, as did Alexa, before dinner would be ready.

I walked into the bedroom, and gathered some comfortable pajamas, before entering the bathroom. I paused next to the large bathtub, and decided on bath instead. I started running the water, and added some soap for bubbles, while I set a couple of towels beside the tub. I stripped my clothes off, allowing them to fall on the floor below, and stepped inside the tub. It was toasty warm, and I smiled, as I sunk into the pit of bubbles.

Just as I was leaning back against the tub, I heard someone enter the bedroom. I sat straight up, staring at the unlocked bathroom door. My eyes grew wide when I realized I forgot the lock the door, and hoped that it was just Alexa. I heard the person walk around the room, and sure enough the bathroom door opened.
