Chapter 11

As Shane escorted her to a room to dry off, Crystal paid close attention to the interior. The house was one of those old country structures with massive amounts of dark wood paneling and high ceilings. If she had still intended to take the job, her first piece of advice would be that he make changes to bring the place into the twenty-first century.

Alone in the room Crystal looked around. From what she understood, the house had seven en-suite rooms and it was apparent he had already spent a lot of money on the modernization of the plumbing system. Her shower had been lovely, so at least that was money well spent.

Now that she was clean and dry, only one problem remained. She had nothing to change into. Sitting on the bed, wrapped in a damp towel, Crystal looked around and saw only a duvet that could be a possible means of covering her nakedness. It was that or keep on the soggy towel.

Moments later a knock sounded on the door and Shane poked his head inside the room.

“I thought these might come in handy. I brought you some body lotion, socks, a jumper and you don’t have to worry,” he said holding up a pair of sweatpants. “You’ve put on a few pounds, but these should fit you.”

“You cheeky sod!”

“Come on Crys, are you going to sit there and tell me your arse–”

“My arse is none of your business. And, why you would think I would even consider using one of your girlfriend’s body lotions is a mystery to me.” She knew she should have kept her mouth shut, but the words escaped before she could stop them.

“Careful, or you’ll have me thinking you're jealous.”

“Well, you’d be wrong!” Crossing her fingers at the barefaced lie she gave herself a mental shake. It was only a jar of lotion, but that didn’t stop her from wanting to throw it out the window via his head. “But thanks for the clothes.”

“Relax, the lotion is from the stock I bought for all the bathrooms. If you look, you’ll see it hasn’t been opened.”

Her eyes flew to the box sitting on the pile of clothing and heat rushed into her face. Not knowing how to dig herself out of yet another hole, she said nothing. He was laughing at her again and Crystal couldn’t blame him. She was acting like a complete idiot.

“When you’re done, follow the smell of cooking and I’ll feed you.”

Dressed in her borrowed clothing, once downstairs, Crystal did as Shane had suggested and found him without difficulty. He was standing in front of the stove and she took the opportunity to look him over.

Although he was tall and lean, his shoulders were broad and tapered off into a perfect vee. From what she could see, he was right, her backside would never have fit into a pair of his jeans.

“So, what’s taken your fancy, my manly shoulders or my firm arse?” Shane asked without looking around.

“Neither!”

“Ahh, Crys, now that’s your biggest lie… for today anyway.
