We were a pair of giggling fools when we finally found our way out of the hot spring, even though I sensed Ethan’s bliss was dampened by the fact that he nearly lost control. I hoped he wouldn’t be too hard on himself. He did manage to stop himself, after all.

Wasn’t that something?

I got the distinct feeling I shouldn’t bring it up just yet, though. He was taut as a bowstring and trying hard to hide it from me. Wouldn’t want to ruin all his hard work. Let him think he had me fooled, just this once, if it made him feel better and gave him the time he needed to process.

Estelle hadn’t returned to collect me yet, so we bathed together in the cooler waters near the entrance. Ethan brushed the tangles from my hair beneath the water, and soaped my back and chest, his gaze scrutinizing as he checked me for injury.

“I’m not hurt,” I offered in a whisper as he finished soaking the suds from the tops of my breasts.

He pressed his lips together and nodded.

I knew it was all I would get from him.

I was so busy analyzing him that I didn’t hear Estelle coming down the corridor. So, it was a good thing Ethan did. He vanished beneath the dark water in the blink of an eye as the echo of Estelle’s footfalls grew louder.

“I hope you’re good and washed, girl. The master has asked to see you.”

My brows furrowed. I’d only just left the lab a couple of hours before. What could he possibly want now?

“But why—”

“I don’t pretend to know the master’s mind, Rose.”

I thought it was the first time she’d used my name, and the way she said it, with her usual note of impatience, but also a motherly sort of worry, had my belly clenching.

I startled as Ethan’s hand slipped around my thigh beneath the water and he planted a swift kiss just above my pelvic bone before he vanished and I caught the darkened outline of him swimming deeper into the cave where Estelle wouldn’t see him if he surfaced.

“Let’s not keep him waiting,” she prodded, holding out a towel for me as I waded to the edge and climbed up onto my feet and took it. “Can I at least go back to my room and change first?”

“Where are your clothes?”

I pursed my lips and glanced back to the water.

Estelle sighed, exasperated, and threw her hands up. “Then you’ll go as you are. Don’t want to keep him waiting, do we?”

Well, she clearly didn’t. I really couldn’t care less.

But truth be told I didn’t want Estelle punished because I didn’t care to follow orders.

I glanced back to see Ethan poking his head above water through the mist, a worried crook to his left brow. I tossed him a shrug that I hoped relayed to him I wasn’t worried about this little impromptu meeting with my captor.

I didn’t think it set his mind at ease, but I hoped it would quell him enough so he wouldn’t attempt to follow me.
