CHAPTER FOUR
Ugh.
I donât know why Iâm so surprised by the appearance of Chimaseâs room. This city is something straight out of the Real Housewives of New York City, and the massive building is right out of Gossip Girl. The lobby area is like a fancy hotel, showy, white and spotless. Even the basement is similar to a high-grade motel. The large standalone shower in Chimaseâs bathing chamber could easily hold ten or fifteen Sidyths, and while thereâs no showerhead in sight, Exdrux patiently takes the time to explain how it works. Itâs a voice command. Thatâs cool, but I donât dare say that to Exdrux. I still canât tell if he likes me or not. Maybe heâs not even sure yet.
âI believe that is everything,â Exdrux says in a low voice.
âCan I have a towel?â
âNo.â
My eyebrows crinkle together, and something that can only resemble a smirk hits Exdruxâs features.
âThe bathing area has a drying feature as I explained to you. I suspected your human mind had wandered. Chimase mentioned this happens quite often. I suppose he is not wrong.â He shakes his head as though Iâm some confused puppy, but doesnât say anything else, crossing his arms and taking a seat on a glossy, white, plastic-looking chair situated right outside of the shower.
My eyes widen. âYou canât be serious.â
âAbout what? Donât tell me you need help removing your clothes?â
âNo!â I gasp, wrapping my arms around my body, horrified by the idea. âOf course, I can change! But youâre not going to sit out there and watch me take a shower, are you?â
He bristles slightly, almost like heâs shivering. âI am not going to watch.â
âYou know what I mean. You canât stay here. Go wait in his bedroom until Iâm finished.â
His eyes narrow. âIâm afraid that would be considered inappropriate.â
âAnd you think watching me take a shower isnât?â
âAs explained previously, I will not watch you.â
âPlease, get out!â I squeak, shocking myself. When Exdrux rises from the chair to his full height, just a few inches over seven feet, I resist every calling in my body to edge away from him. But this man is important to Chimase. And for whatever reason, Iâm important to Chimase. I swallow hard as Exdrux takes another step towards me with a frown. âI mean, Iâm sure Chimase wouldnât like if you sat here while I was naked.â
Then a naughty thought comes to mind. I hate saying it, but if Iâm going to have any chance at privacy, perhaps I need to find out how much I can push Chimaseâs assistant.
âIâll tell him you were watching me. I donât think heâd like that.â
Exdruxâs yellow eyes widen. A few scales on his neck splay away from his pale skin. He doesnât blush like a human, but I canât help but wonder if thatâs what this reaction means. He swallows hard as though contemplating what to say next. I have to keep pushing.
âDo you think Chimase wants to know that you made me feel uncomfortable? That you saw me naked?â
Exdruxâs forked tongue darts out with a startlingly menacing hiss.
