Chapter Eleven

Charlotte sank into the tub and moaned softly, letting the hot water relax her tense muscles. Like dancing fingers across her skin, the steam healed her. When she let herself think about what the commissioner had done, she could still feel his slobbering mouth upon her flesh. Her skin crawled with disgust.

Instead, she tried to focus on the way Adam had comforted her, something she shouldn’t let control her mind. Somehow, she had become attracted to him, an attraction that went far beyond appearance. Her feelings for him had nothing to do with reason. Although his body was more muscular and alluring than she’d first thought, it was actually his sweet and caring nature that lured her. She was able to look past his scar and see deep inside to the man he truly was. And she liked what she saw.

She held the sponge up and allowed the water to drip across her arm. Charlotte closed her eyes and thought about the two men in her life. First, there was Ian. Strong, devilishly handsome, and determined, but plagued by problems in both his business and his private life. And Adam, also strong and muscular, not ugly, but gentle and caring. If it weren’t for Ian, would she fall for Adam?

She climbed out of the tub and toweled herself dry, and then dressed in her shift. The sheer ice blue matching wrapper with billowy sleeves was comfortable enough for her to just lounge around her room. The weather had turned warmer this afternoon, and she welcomed it.

With her brush, she stroked her locks, the bristles on her scalp relaxing her. As she peered out the window down at the yard, her mind returned to Adam once again. He’d apologized for kissing her, which was incredibly sweet, but then not a word had been spoken between them on the way back to the castle. By Adam’s furrowed brow, she wondered if guilt ate away at his conscience.

Why didn’t she feel any remorse for kissing him? She should. After all, Ian was her husband. They were gradually putting their marriage in order. Yet, her relationship with Adam had been growing stronger lately.

A sound from the corner of the room pulled her away from her thoughts, and she swung her head in that direction. She stared in dismay, for someone was in the room! A lean frame emerged from the shadows, and she gasped with surprise.

“Your loveliness is such a vision for these lonely eyes of mine,” Ian told her as he walked to her, his stare boldly moving over her attire. From his heated expression, she suddenly realized that standing in front of the window, she’d been in total silhouette. The blood rushed to her face.

“Ian!” she gasped, stepping out of the light. “Do you always have to sneak up on me?”

“Well, yes. I can’t just knock on your door. You know I’m trying to keep myself out of sight. That is why I use the hidden passageways through the castle.”

She arched a brow.
