Chapter-Eighteen

Only One Bed

Felicity was disappointed to discover that the bathroom contained one very small toilet and a microscopic little cubicle that was meant to be a shower. She undressed and got inside, pulling the hose-like shower head down from its mount to run the water over her body and use the soap as quickly as possible, lest the hot water finish before she did.

She brushed her teeth as she dried off with one of the four towels she found hanging on the wall, and then dropped it so she could dry the floor. Afterwards, she straightened it out neatly and left it there so Lance would be able to step out onto it when he took his shower.

The thought suddenly occurred to her that Lancelot Jones must be fully aware that she was just one door away from him, and that she was completely naked. Would he be envisioning that just about now, wishing he could have a look?

A heady blush crept over her entire body, and she made quick work of putting on some of the clothes they’d bought her for camping in. Her long, full head of tawny curls would take forever to dry if she left it to its own devices, and doubtless would become full of snarls as well, so she surreptitiously swept her wand over it, using a few drying spells to make some order out of the chaos.

Worried about her appearance for some unaccountable reason, she perused herself in the small mirror for a moment. Not perfect, but at least passable, she decided. Besides, she couldn’t possibly wake up looking good no matter what she did now, anyway. When she realized she was stalling, Felicity forced herself to open the door.

Smirking just a little as she came out, she glanced over to find Lance standing next to the bed. He looked very much as though he might have been pacing. She didn’t say anything, and neither did he, but the tension between the two of them was palpable just then.

“Right, then, I won’t be long,” said Lance as he walked stiffly past her and headed for the tiny bathroom. “You can go ahead and get into bed, if you like.”

“Sure,” said Felicity with a deep, crimson blush.

While Lancelot Jones was completely naked just one door away from her, Felicity contemplated the so-called bed. If she were to curl up as close to the wall as possible, it was possible there might be just enough room for Lance to squeeze in when he came out to join her there.

Sighing, she did her best to put the plan into action. She pulled the single blanket over herself for warmth, and tried to go to sleep, but of course she couldn’t do it.

Not while she was so aware that she’d be in a bed with a man for the first time in just a few minutes. A man she’d been kissing not two hours ago. A man she’d dreamed about every night since the day they’d met.

No, she doubted very much she’d be able to sleep at all.
