Chapter 99: You Are Mine Now, Eleanor
In a very short amount of time, Eleanor managed to reach her personal office, located at the end of a long hallway on the highest level within the orphanage.
She entered and took a seat behind her desk, gazing around at all the various items neatly organized in their proper spots.
This place held quite a few precious memories for her as well, although they weren't particularly enjoyable ones per se.
Nevertheless, she didn't regret her decision, nor did she feel bad about resigning either, because she knew it was the right thing to do considering her new-found opportunity to cultivate.
After taking a deep breath, Eleanor began working diligently at her desk by filing away some papers and completing some minor tasks related to paperwork regarding her departure from this place for good.
As she worked, her mind continued drifting toward thoughts of Asher waiting outside for her, causing a soft smile to form across her face.
She reflected on all that had transpired these past few days and wondered what could possibly lie ahead of her in the future. Suddenly, the idea of being alone with her young master thrilled her. Her heart thumped loudly against her chest at that idea, while a wave of heat rushed to her cheeks at the prospect of enjoying such blissful moments of privacy together.
Her blush darkened further when she recalled her shameless behavior a few minutes ago, where she, in a bold manner, responded to Asher fondling her booty while his large palm squeezed it and caressed its voluptuous softness with loving motions. Such actions led to her craving more intimate touches from him.
She hurried to take care of all the necessary stuff, hoping that it would distract her from her thoughts and complete the formalities. Sooner than she expected, Eleanor completed all the formalities related to her resignation and walked towards the window to glance outside.
Right from there, Eleanor could clearly see Asher sitting in the black luxury sports car. She right away felt butterflies dancing in her belly as she locked her eyes upon that handsome face that exuded confidence with its mere existence itself. He smiled when he met her gaze, causing warmth to bloom within her heart due to his sweet gesture.
The mere sight of him ignited fire within her very being, fueled by a yearning for having his muscular body pressed tightly against her frame and intense passion emanating from those blue orbs of his that seemed to peer at her soul. The erotic thought of him burying his length deep into her moist, tight vagina while showering her whole being with love and affection intensified her desires greatly.
Desires that had been locked deep within her heart now reigned free as she surrendered to the new emotions running through her entire body like wildfire.
She gulped in nervousness yet again. "To think that a single man can awaken such forbidden feelings inside me makes me feel ashamed."
Having completed her duties here, Eleanor left the room to head downstairs to inform the staff members about finishing her remaining work here.
"Ahh. Ms. Eleanor, are you done with everything here?" A staff member inquired about her as soon as she reached the lobby area after leaving her former workplace upstairs.
Eleanor nodded at them, replying, "Yes, Miss Linda. The paperwork regarding my resignation has been taken care of, and I have tidied up the office."
The staff member, named Linda, replied while maintaining her professional composure, "Thank you very much for being so dedicated during the time spent at this institution, Ms. Eleanor. We wish you luck in all your future endeavors."
Following her colleague's words, the other females present also wished Eleanor the best in her life.
In reply to their kind words, Eleanor bowed slightly towards them to express gratitude and respect to the people who helped raise children here, as they worked for the greater good.
She waved goodbye to them before heading straight out of the establishment, where Asher was waiting in his car.
Before moving in Asher's direction, her heart started beating faster when she caught a glimpse of his handsome facial features illuminated by the rays of sunlight shining upon his figure.
"Hey, beautiful, Are you done with your task?" Asher asked teasingly.
However, Eleanor averted eye contact after glancing briefly at his face, replying, "Yes, Young Master."
However, Asher did not fail to notice her subtle reddening cheeks when he praised her beauty. His gaze lingered on her for a couple of seconds longer, as she just stood near him without even uttering a single word.
"Let's go then." Asher said, making Eleanor turn her gaze towards him.
"Young Master, aren't we going back home?"
"No. We are going to the Golden Lake that you like seeing from the rooftop of the orphanage." Asher winked at Eleanor with a flirtatious smile.
As soon as both settled inside, Asher started driving the luxurious vehicle away from the vicinity of the orphanage and back onto the busy road leading straight ahead to the Golden Lake.
Eleanor blushed, thinking about how Asher kissed her on the rooftop of the orphanage when she wanted to show him the view of the Golden Lake.
Eleanor turned her gaze at the passing landscape as her mind became occupied with all sorts of thoughts involving the handsome man sitting beside her, as well as the warmth radiating from his body and how safe she felt in his presence.
It didn't take long before they reached their destination. The car stopped next to the side of the road near the lakeside.
After switching off the engine, Asher got out of the driver seat, while Eleanor unbuckled her seatbelt as well, following him outside.
The Golden Lake was calm and peaceful as the sun's radiant orange light danced across its glistening waters. The scene was breathtaking, with the warm colors reflecting off the shimmering ripples made by gentle waves. The surrounding woods looked serene, with lush greenery and colorful flowers adding to their tranquility.
At this time, there were no people around except for Asher and Eleanor. They strolled along the shore, admiring the sunset and taking in the refreshing breeze blowing through the leaves.
Eleanor felt overwhelmed with emotions as she gazed at the sunset's fiery glow spreading across the sky like a canvas painted by an artist. She looked at Asher, who seemed mesmerized by the view before him, and thought about how fortunate she was to have him in her life.
Soon, Asher guided Eleanor to the lakeside, and they both sat down on a large rock, which offered a panoramic view of the glistening lake in front of them.
A cool breeze blew across the lake, creating small ripples upon its surface, making the scene even more calming for the duo.
The weather was quite pleasant today, and there weren't many clouds hovering overhead to block the bright rays of sunlight from pouring down upon them, warming up their bodies slightly.
"You know, I haven't come here for a long time since I was busy with my work at the orphanage. This lake has always brought me a sense of peace and solitude. Now, I feel free of worries and stress. It's all thanks to you, Young Master." Eleanor expressed her heartfelt appreciation while looking at Asher with a genuine smile gracing her beautiful face.
"Hmm, I see that you are quite fond of this lake. That's why I decided to take you here." Asher paused for a second before continuing, "Eleanor, tell me honestly, are you happy with your life?"
The sudden question caught Eleanor off guard.
"Happiness? Well, I guess so. But sometimes, I wish for something more than just a peaceful existence."
"What do you mean by that?" Asher inquired curiously.
"I have always dreamt of living my life fully and doing things I really desire. It's just that I've never gotten the chance to achieve my goals."
The woman sighed deeply while her gaze fell upon the surface of the water. "I grew up in an orphanage, so I have always been surrounded by kids. I like taking care of them, but sometimes I miss having a life of my own. I want to explore myself, discover new possibilities, and experience what the world has to offer.
It is unfortunate that I haven't had the chance to do so before, but it changed after you decided to take me to the secret realm and also allowed me to go through spirit-body transformation. It means I can be a strong cultivator now and make my dreams come true."
After listening to Eleanor's confession, Asher gently lifted her chin with one finger, making her meet his eyes. The tenderness and sincerity conveyed within those blue orbs rendered Eleanor speechless.
They were silent for a few moments before Asher broke it by saying, "Eleanor, I am glad that you shared your feelings with me. I can assure you that I'll support you in every way possible. Moreover, I hope that I can also be part of your life."
"Young Master, you are already part of my life. There is no way I can imagine spending it without you." Eleanor answered with a gentle smile.
"Then, it should be obvious to you that you are mine now, Eleanor. My woman." Asher leaned closer to her face and whispered while staring deep into her amber eyes.
His warm breath sent chills down her spine, and she found herself unable to resist his advances anymore. The moment their lips made contact, electricity shot through her body, igniting a raging inferno within her soul.
