The second we walked through the door, all I could think about was getting away from him. Getting out of Gael’s presence. Maybe he’d let me sleep downstairs tonight. Though, I doubted it. He ushered me through the front door and I moved away from him as he closed it. My heels clicked quickly against the stairs as I approached the kitchen. Hoping to get out of sight.

“Go upstairs and get those clothes off. I’ll be up in a bit.”

I froze at the top of the steps. “Are you sure?”

A pin dropping would’ve sounded like a booming cannon in the silence that fell between us.

“Yes. I’m very sure,” he said.

Though, there wasn’t the edge to his voice that I figured there would be.

I nodded. “I’ll see you soon, then.”

I took my time getting upstairs. I kicked my heels off and practically ripped the dress off me. I tossed it all into the corner. I didn't give a shit about picking it up. If this was going to be my life, I might as well accept it. Which meant no tiptoeing around him for the rest of my life. If he didn’t like the fact that I was used to my clothes being in a corner, that was a personal problem. I wouldn't let another man bully me around.

I’d rather him kill me instead.

As I stood in the middle of the room, trembling with nerves, I heard his footsteps finally coming up the steps. I waited on pins and needles as the door opened. As he emerged. As he brushed past me, not giving me a second glance. I let out the breath I held and swallowed hard. I turned to face him, watching as he shed his own suit to hang up.

“Go stand in the bathroom. I’ll run you a bath in a second.”

I paused. “Come again?”

He sighed. “Go stand in the bathroom. I’ll be there in a bit to run you a bath to get into.”

“A bath?”

His eyes peered over his shoulder. “Yes. Now go.”

Confusion filled my gut as I moved. I walked into the bathroom and stood next to the tub, trying to keep myself out of the way. But I couldn't take my eyes off Gael. All this time, and I hadn’t seen his body yet. Hell, I’d barely touched it, with his penchant for tying me down. For pinning me against things. My eyes roamed his long legs. His lean muscles were pulled taut over his body. His skin, with a soft tan that made me extremely jealous, almost seemed to glisten as he moved. His muscles undulated. His movements were precise. He turned toward me, and his beauty took my breath away.

Definitely not the boy I remember.

“Lavender or vanilla?”

Gael’s question gave me pause. “Uh, vanilla?”

He nodded. “Very well. Hot or warm?”

The bath. “Um, hot. Steam. I like steam.”

“Me, too. If I can’t hear the bacteria screaming as it swirls down the drain, it’s too cold.”

I blinked. “Was that—a joke?”

“Depends. Was it funny?”

I smiled softly. “A bit, yeah.
