CHAPTER FOUR

Ugh.

I don’t know why I’m so surprised by the appearance of Chimase’s 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 Chimase’s bathing chamber could easily hold ten or fifteen Sidyths, and while there’s no showerhead in sight, Exdrux patiently takes the time to explain how it works. It’s a voice command. That’s cool, but I don’t dare say that to Exdrux. I still can’t tell if he likes me or not. Maybe he’s not even sure yet.

“I believe that is everything,” Exdrux says in a low voice.

“Can I have a towel?”

“No.”

My eyebrows crinkle together, and something that can only resemble a smirk hits Exdrux’s features.

“The 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.” He shakes his head as though I’m some confused puppy, but doesn’t 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. “You can’t be serious.”

“About what? Don’t tell me you need help removing your clothes?”

“No!” I gasp, wrapping my arms around my body, horrified by the idea. “Of course, I can change! But you’re not going to sit out there and watch me take a shower, are you?”

He bristles slightly, almost like he’s shivering. “I am not going to watch.”

“You know what I mean. You can’t stay here. Go wait in his bedroom until I’m finished.”

His eyes narrow. “I’m afraid that would be considered inappropriate.”

“And you think watching me take a shower isn’t?”

“As explained previously, I will not watch you.”

“Please, get out!” 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, I’m important to Chimase. I swallow hard as Exdrux takes another step towards me with a frown. “I mean, I’m sure Chimase wouldn’t like if you sat here while I was naked.”

Then a naughty thought comes to mind. I hate saying it, but if I’m going to have any chance at privacy, perhaps I need to find out how much I can push Chimase’s assistant.

“I’ll tell him you were watching me. I don’t think he’d like that.”

Exdrux’s yellow eyes widen. A few scales on his neck splay away from his pale skin. He doesn’t blush like a human, but I can’t help but wonder if that’s what this reaction means. He swallows hard as though contemplating what to say next. I have to keep pushing.

“Do you think Chimase wants to know that you made me feel uncomfortable? That you saw me naked?”

Exdrux’s forked tongue darts out with a startlingly menacing hiss.
