Chapter 11.
When we pull into the drive of Jaxx’s home we are in a strange mix of elation and exhaustion. Jaxx opens my door for me and helps me out of the car.
“Let’s get you inside and into a bath. You need to relax a little.” The man is always trying to take care of me. I chuckle to myself.
We enter the house and I call out for Gavin. I didn’t even notice if his bike was parked out front or not. He doesn’t answer, so I figure he must still be out. Thinking about his bike makes me wonder about mine.
“Have you heard anything from the body shop about my bike,” I ask Jaxx as I trail behind him up the stairs. I can’t help but to ogle his bum. It is damn fine, after all. He looks back at me and smirks.
Damn I was caught; I think with a blush.
“They haven’t called yet, but I will make the call in the A.M.,” he says, checking his watch. “Which is in just a couple of hours. Damn, it has gotten late.”
I yawn at being reminded of the time.
“Okay, I know it’s a private matter, but I have to ask. What will happen with Jessa when she wakes up? I mean, Sebastian turned her. He hasn’t claimed her yet. So, she is going to freak out! And what happens when she can’t stay with her parents anymore?” I am slightly overwhelmed with worry.
“Slow down. I’m sure Sebastian will answer your questions in the morning.”
We walk into the main bath on the second floor. It has a huge sunken tub. You can fit a football team in it.
“Why don’t you get something to wear after your bath while I get it ready for you?”
I nod, slowly trying to hide yet another yawn from him. I leave the bathroom and head for our room to grab his robe. I run it over my face, taking in his scent. MMMM! Fresh fallen snow, I think, my most favorite scent in the world. He has become very important to me in a very short amount of time. Most people would think it was crazy that we have become so close. But most people aren’t Trues. And they definitely aren’t us.
I strip out of my two-day-old clothes and slip on his robe, then head back to the main bath. Stepping through the door, I let out a little giggle of wonder. He’d lit a few pillar candles and the enormous tub is almost overflowing with bubbles.
“I’ll get out of here and let you have some time to wind down.” He brushes his lips across my forehead on his way out the door.
Closing the door behind me, I slide the robe down and off my shoulders. It makes a whisper of sound as it hits the floor. I walk to the tub, climbing in and settling against the back, and then sinking below the water.
The bubbles smell like him. I realize that he’d used his body wash to make me a bubble bath.
