Jorah helps walk me back to my room after fixing my dress and making me look less disheveled. Goodness! I must have looked a mess! He checks the hallways before me to make sure no one sees us.
What must he think of me now? I canât help but feel embarrassment that he saw me that way. He knows my darkest secret now. He should be repulsed by me and yet ⦠he told me he cares for me and he likes me touching him. Iâm confused. Did he mean as a friend? Or as a man? Either way, I donât see how he could be attracted to me. I feel so dirty. The thought of Malphasâs hands on me makes me shudder and want to wash it all off.
Once we make it into the room and the door is shut, I turn around and see a nervous Jorah looking around. Heâs wringing his hands in a nervous way and then runs them through his hair so he has something to do with them. It almost, almost, makes me smile but then Iâm reminded of what just happened in the hallway. Jorah really is handsome with his tall stature and messy blonde hair. He has this caring energy to him that makes me feel he would take all my problems away if I let him. Looking back down to his big hands, I see some ink on several fingers while he nervously twists them around.
âWhatâs wrong, Jorah?â I ask.
âI ⦠is it okay if Iâm in your room? I havenât been in here in a few years,â Jorah says while nervously looking over at me. Then taking a deep breath he says, âIâm going to take care of you then we will talk.â
âI need to bathe ⦠the thought of his hands on me.â Closing my eyes and taking a shuttering breath I say, âI feel dirty and I canât do anything until I do that.â
He nods his head and visibly swallowing starts to walk into my en-suite and run a bath. He walks back to me and grabs my hand. Then, looking into my eyes to make sure Iâm okay with it, he starts to slowly undress me. He struggles a bit with the laces in the back but eventually my dress pools in a heap on the floor and Iâm in my lace underwear with only a dagger strapped to my left thigh. Why did I forget about the dagger being there? My only excuse is that when Malphas is involved, all rational thoughts scatter.
Jorah groans making me look over my shoulder and I recognize the look in eyes, could it be ⦠desire?
Then he shifts his heated gaze up from my ass and runs it over my body- slowly. Iâve never had a man look at me unclothed before other thanânever mind. I can see the moment he observes the rune on my upper back. He takes a step forward and places his hand on it saying, âI didnât realize you got a tattoo, Sol? Youâve been keeping a lot of secrets from me.
