Chapter 47The Doctor
1608words
He was snapped out of his thought and looked back at her. Keith was trying as hard as he can to not be tempted.
"Wait here, I'm going to call for the doctor," he said to her before taking her phone's out.
"Hello, George. I need you to check on someone...okay...good," he ended the phone call and turned her head to look at Vale.
The looks of hurt on her eyes startled him for a second before he calmly settled his composure back.
"Vale, I don't want to take advantage of you like this. I hope you understand, I appreciate it that you come to me for this, for trusting me," he said softly, hoping she would understand.
She stares at him for a few more seconds before laying back on the bed with her back on Keith. Curling herself like a kitten.
Keith sighed.
After waiting for a few minutes, a knock sounded on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened and Dr George came inside with a guard following him. Hearing the door opening, Vale sat up on the bed and rested her head on the headboard.
"I need you to check on her and give some prescriptions to her," he ordered.
"Yes, sir." Dr George immediately went to work.
After a few minutes, he stands up straight before looking back at him. A nervous expression flashing on his eyes.
"She's drugged by a strong aphrodisiac-" he gulped before continuing, "-and she will die in 2 hours if she didn't find a cure. According to the effect on the aphrodisiac, she's been drugged for almost 1 hour."
"What's the cure?" he asked impatiently.
"There's no cure-" he hasn't even finished talking when Keith slammed him on the wall after grabbing his collar.
"Bullshit! There must be a cure!" he growled.
The Doctor trembles as sweat dripped off his face as he replies in fear, "Unless she does that ‘thing' with a man, there's no more cure!" he said.
Keith grumbled before letting him go, "Get out!" he rubbed the knot on his eyebrow.
"Y-yes!" the doctor didn't waste any more minute as he snatched his bag and ran outside the room before closing the door.
Keith looked back down on her and found a pair of grey-blue eyes staring back at him.
He pondered for a second before stripping his clothes while staring at her to find her eyes clouded in pure lust.
"Turn around," her ordered her.
Vale turns around as he unzipped her dress and helped her out of it. The room temperature of the room grows hot. He laid on top of her on the bed and kissed her.

Vale woke up hazy and was about to get off of the bed when something bulky on her waist blocked her from doing so. Her eyes grew wide when she turned around and was met face to face with Keith's sleeping face.
‘What happened?'
Vale tried to remember what had happened last night but couldn't find out how she ended up in bed with him.
Naked.
Not only that, but her lower abdomen was also sore.
She lifted his heavy arms carefully, not wanting to wake him up. She gritted her teeth in frustration. He is truly a beast!
"Where are you going?" Keith hoarse voice asked in displeasure as he tightens his arms on her waist.
Her face grew hot, "I need to pee." she said as Keith once again tried to lift Keith's arm off of her.
Keith grumbles before lifting his arms and opening his eyes. Vale blushed when she saw his shirtless body and even more embarrassed when she saw the hickeys around his neck.
Vale quickly sat up and picked his shirt and slipping it on before standing up. She squealed and swayed when she took a step away from the bed.
A sexy chuckle resounded on the room as her face burns in shame.
Vale tried to take a step forward only to end up stumbling and almost kissing the floor. That's how jelly her leg is.
"Keith, I fucking hate you! If you get that ‘thing' near me in the future, I will not hesitate to cut it off your body!" she cursed at him as she gritted her teeth.
Keith laughs more at her and only got up to pick her when his laughter dies down.
"Get out," she orders him when they reach the bathroom.
He only raised an eyebrow with a smirk before closing the door behind him.
After taking care of her business and brushing her teeth, she decided to take a shower only to hiss when she tried to move around.
It's been 15 minutes, and she only sat on the bathtub side with a disdain look on her face. A knock rang through the door.
"Vale, are you finished? You've been there for too long." Keith asked.
Vale didn't answer as her lips pursed in dismay.
'How am I gonna shower like this?'
The bathroom door suddenly opens, making her startled and stand up only to hiss again at the pain.
"Why aren't you finish yet?" he asked.
Vale only gave him a piercing glare as her heart cursed him over and over in her head.
"I can't," she stated solemnly.
His eyes danced in amusement as he approached her. Vale ignores him as much as possible, noting that he only had his boxer briefs on.
He filled up the tub with water, and some bubble before looking at me.
"Take the shirt off," he said calmly.
"No."
"Okay."
Vale snaps her head at him only to have the shirt on her body ripped up by him.
She didn't even have the chance to complain when he picked her up and puts her down the bathtub. Vale was rendered speechless when he takes his boxer off, and she immediately closed her eyes, blushing, before she felt him lowering himself on the bathtub behind her.
Vale opened her eyes as her face grew hot when he silently washed her hair and her body. She was mad at herself for not even stopping him at all. However, she couldn't fight the feeling of gratefulness towards him.
"So, do you wanna talk about what happened yesterday?" he asked.
"Uh, I don't quite remember," she said honestly. "I only memorized that I went out to my friend's house and coming back here." she continued.
"Who's your friend?" he asked.
Vale tensed, and he noticed it, "Someone you will know in the long run..." she replied with a low voice.
"I asked for a name!" his tone changes authoritatively.
Vale only grew silent for a long time, not answering him, and his anger radiated off in the room. He dried them both after the bath and helped her change into her clothes.
His silence is killing her. But, her mouth is not cooperating as well as it was tightly locked. Her guilty conscience is gnawing at her. As well as her awareness fighting to protect the secrets that she's hiding.
They went down for dinner only for the two of them late at night.
He goes to his study room as she strolled on the balcony, trying to come up with a solution for what had happened recently.
"Vale." a feminine voice greeted her from behind.
She turned around and saw Lexy approaching her.
"Lexy." she forced out a smile.
"How are you?"
Vale was startled at the question.
"I'm good, what about you?"
"Nothing new." she shrugged solemnly.
"What happened?" she asked.
It was rare for her to be so quiet and serious. She was silent for a few minutes before she spoke again, "I found Brett eating dinner with a pretty rich girl." she said in dismay.
"What?" Vale was shocked.
"Uhm...I asked him if he wants to accompany me for a movie night and he said he's got work to do. Nancy asked me to go to dinner together outside, and that's where we saw him." her lips curled in anger, but her eyes held pain and sadness.
"Did he saw you?" Vale frowned.
"No, he was too busy flirting with her. How would he had time to look around?" she said in bitterness.
"That's why you couldn't sleep?"
"Yeah..." she nodded her head with a faraway look on her face.
Vale's eyebrows knitted together, feeling strange. Brett is head over heels for Lexy. There's no way he would cheat on her.
"Do you trust him?" she slowly asked.
"I do before, but I'm not too sure now," she said hesitantly.
Vale nodded. Even though Brent looks like a brother to her, it's not her business. However, that doesn't mean she would let their relationship crushed just like that.
"What about you? Why are you here instead of cuddling with that lover boy?" she jokingly asked, but Vale knows it was forced.
She was trying to change the topic.
Vale tensed.
She can only reply guiltily, "It's something I can't explain easily." she runs her hands through her hair while sighing.
"Oh..." she nodded, crossing her arms and look at the distance on the balcony.
"Yeah..." Vale nodded slowly.

"Jake, Kenzie, I need you to track Vale's movement no matter what!" Keith hung up before calling another number.
"You will be watching where Vale's went every day and the people she interacts with. Don't make it noticeable," he ordered the person on the line.
He hung up again before leaning back on his chair.
‘Just what are you hiding from me, Vale? What makes you hide the truth strongly against me?'
