CHAPTER TEN

KYLIE woke up when she felt something move next to her. She still suffered from the headache caused by the sleeping pill given to her by the assassin who targeted Joshua. She could not move properly because someone was staring at her during that time. She tried to move but she felt something holding her back. She just blushed when the person next to her suddenly spoke.

"No, don't move. Stay still." Joshua told her as he tightened his grip on her waits. "I still want to dream."

"Young Master ...."

"Please, let me hold you like this for a while before you kick me out." Joshua said to her.

Although Kylie was confused, she chose to listen to the young man's wishes. It was not difficult for him to ask for it as she was still drowsy.

Kylie was unaware that Joshua was awake that time. It seems like he did not want to go back to reality because he's scared. He didn’t know if he could face the fact his butler was not a man. He was more afraid of the possibility that Kyle would only leave him if she found out he already knew her secret. He just closed his eyes as he recalled the shocking revelation of Kyle's true gender.

A few more hours passed and the two remained on bed. No one even tried to speak even when they were both awake. Kylie did not know what was Joshua’s problem as he did not want to let her go. She just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard his voice again.

"Kyle ..." Joshua called her name.

"Oh?"

"Don't be angry, okay?" Joshua immediately told her. "I did something that I know you won't really like."

Kylie's forehead furrowed at what she heard, "What do you mean?"

"Why don't you check your clothing right now?" Joshua immediately asked the lady.

Kylie immediately turned pale at what Joshua had asked her to do. She quickly looked at the dress she was wearing and to her surprise, she was wearing pajamas at that time. She also could not feel the binder she was wearing so she peeked inside her dress. She was praying that Joshua did not yet know about her true gender. Her eyes widened when she saw that she was no longer wearing her binder. Her face immediately turned red from what happened. When she tried to confront the young man he immediately shut down her attempt.

"Do not turn around. It's hard to hold back."

Kylie just laughed at what Joshua said. Se did not expect that this would be the reason in revealing her true gender. Even if the young lad was too embarassed she could not laugh it off easily as she could not read Joshua's reaction. She thought that Joshua might be joking around just to cover the shock he felt.

"Young Master ..."

"Oh?"

"don't you find our situation awkward?" Kylie immediately asked the young man. "I mean, I cheated on you in terms of sexuality."

"I would be lying if I said I wasn't affected with what I discovered." Joshua confesses to the lady. "All this time, I thought I was gay because I fell for someone like you. Your strength can fool anyone into thinking that you're a man."

"Young Master ---"

"I'm Joshua Carriedo, what's your real name, Kyle?" Joshua asked immediately.

"Kylie. Kylie Tanya Vargas Legazpi." Kylie's short answer to the young man.

"Kylie Tanya, that name suits you well."

Even though she could not see him, she could feel Joshua's smile on her shoulder. She wasn't sure why he was still smiling despite the fact she hid something about her real personality.

"I'm relieved of the fact that I am still attracted to a woman, even if she dressed like a guy." Joshua said Kylie. " Who would have thought that you are a lady hiding in a butler suit?"

"You're just too dense so you didn't notice the difference between the male and female body." Kylie replied in a savage tone. "Wait, did you change my clothes?"

"Do you think I'll let someone else see you?" Joshua asked. "By the way, I had to pinch your breasts to find out if they were real or ---"

Joshua didn't finish what he was saying because Kylie kicked him out of the bed. He was lying on his stomach when he felt her elbow on his back. Kylie was still a woman, but he can’t deny her strength. He did not know what the girl had done to strengthen her body.

"Am I in trouble again?!" Joshua complained immediately. "What did I do to deserve this?!"

"And you thought of asking me the reason eh ?! You better know how to keep your damn mouth shut!" Kylie threatened the young man.

Even before Joshua could process what the girl said he only found himself struggling against Kylie's hold. Thankfully, he was able to maneuver himself so he was able to push Kylie off his back. Unfortunately, he was still lying under Kylie. He breathed out a sigh of relief because Kylie was wearing pajamas; otherwise she would have been exposed to his sight. Obviously, the girl was not satisfied with the way he was thinking.

"You really think that you are innocent, pervert!" Kylie asked in a hushed tone. "You've touched me twice ah!"

"I'm innocent, you know that." Joshua replied with a wink at the girl. “You did not tell me that you are a woman. No, I am not a pervert.”

"You - !"

Joshua didn't even let Kylie speak. He had already taken the situation to prove to the girl that he was the man in their relatioship. He made sure Kylie couldn't get away with the kiss he was giving. When he thought that the maiden relaxed in their kiss he took the opportunity to reverse their position. Kylie was already under him by that time. If they weren't out of breath Joshua wouldn't have cut that kiss either. There was a thin line of saliva that connected their mouths when they separated. Joshua got up immediately at that moment.

"I need a shower, a cold shower." Joshua said immediately before he even turned to Kylie again. "And you won't show up in my room, do you understand?"

Kylie only gave the young man a nod. She was still catching her breath. She could not believe that just because of a sleeping pill, Joshua would be able to find out who she really was. She needed to get back at the assassin who attempted to take the young man's life. She would lash out all the embarrassment she was currently experiencing to that guy.

Well, that didn't escape Joshua's sight. Kylie looked so sexy in that way of breathing. He could no longer restrain himself at that time to steal the girl's breath.

"Seriously, cover your mouth first until I get out, okay?" Joshua said to the girl. "You might suffer from surprised kisses if you let me see you breathing harshly."

Kylie just blushed when Joshua gave her a kiss on the forehead before he left. Whether she admitted it or not she knew in herself that she was more thrilled by the kiss Joshua gave on her forehead. However, she still did not know if she had feelings for Joshua. She thought that everything escalated too quickly between them. She had a lot of first time experiences with the young man so she couldn’t explain how she felt. All she knew was that she was thrilled, but at the same time she still wanted to punch him because of the kisses he took from her. She felt her lips were worn out because of the intense kisses she was getting from the young man.

Don Emilio was sadly looking at the picture of his bereaved wife when Joshua passed by. He thought his dad missed his mom who left them for good when he was young.

"Dad, are you missing Mom again?" Joshua immediately asked his father.

"Yes and I'm just telling her that there's someone in your delicate heart even if he is a man you like." Don Emilio replied.

"Dad, Kyle is ---"

"What happened to your lips? It's like you kissed a snail ah!" Don Emilio immediately changed their topic. "It's too swollen."

Joshua just blushed, "Well ..."

"There's nothing wrong in kissing him," said Don Emilio. "I just hope you did that in private."

Don Emilio smiled when he saw that the redness on Joshua's face only got worse. He knew it wasn't just a kiss. Something interesting happened between them.

"By the way, why are you here?" Don Emilio asked immediately. "I thought you were out with Kyle because you two have a date today."

"Ahh ...."

Don Emilio immediately stared at the young man. He was waiting for an acceptable answer. The 'Ahh ...' he replied to him was not enough for him.

"I am waiting Joshua Carriedo." said Don Emilio to the young man.

"We went home because I need a cold shower." Joshua said quickly. "Yes, I really need a cold shower!"

Don Emilio just laughed when his son suddenly disappeared in front of him, "Our son is already a young man, Jean. Someone already tamed his childish heart."

"And I'm really the one you thought to ask about that, Kylie?" Zeke asked immediately when Kylie called him. "You know I'm a human ice prince. I have lovers but that doesn't mean I'm ready for commitment."

"You're the only one who really knows me." Kylie said. "And one more thing, you're the best of us in terms of seducing a victim."

"You are somehow beautiful," Zeke said in a teasing tone immediately. "But you always miss your logic."

"What ?! Oi, Ezekiel Veneciano ---"

"You should know that seduction and love are two different things," Zeke said to the girl. "I guess you are asking the wrong person."

"Zeke!"

"Joshua really like you especially now that he knows you're a woman, but does his father already know about your true gender?" Zeke immediately asked as Kylie calmed down.

"It would be better if you left that mansion as early as possible." Said Zeke. "It's also for the sake of you two and Joshua. You can't have a legal relationship with him as long as you're Kyle Legazpi. Set yourself free from that identity first before you have a relationship with him."

"Zeke ..."

"You can also not leave there, just admit to his father that you are a woman before he even finds out from other people," Zeke suggested even though he knew that Don Emilio really knew who Kylie was.
