Chapter 10

When Bethany got home, she paced the floor. She couldn’t believe that she had told Vadim that the guy was lying. She would hate to see his dead body show up on the news. Sighing, she headed into the bathroom and turned on the water to run a bath. Marci had said to relax and dammit, she was going to do that. As the tub filled, she scavenged around for any bubble bath and found a partial bottle from several birthdays ago. Dumping it in, she watched as the bubbles multiplied. Stripping off her clothes, she slid into the too hot water with a gasp.

Okay, maybe this was a good idea. Putting her headphones on, she closed her eyes and relaxed into the tub.

She must have fallen asleep because the next thing she knew, the water was rapidly going from tepid to cold. She debated about kicking the hot water back on when she looked at her now prunish skin. Sighing, she pulled the plug and reached for the towel she had left on a chair. She yelped when her hand brushed up against a knee.

Looking up, she found Vadim sitting comfortably in her bathroom. She dove for the plug to stop the rapidly draining water as it was the only means to cover herself, but she was too late. Crossing her arms across her body, she shivered as she looked up at him.

“How long have you been watching me?”

“Not long,” he replied as he smiled.

“Um, any chance I can have that towel that you’re sitting on?”

Nodding his head, he stood up and picked up the towel. He shook it out as he held it open for her. Bethany took a deep breath before standing up. She reached for the towel, but he dangled it slightly out of her way, forcing her to step out of the tub. Standing on the bathmat, she grabbed the towel from him before turning her back to dry herself off. She didn’t realize that the mirror had picked up her reflection as he watched her.

She really was quite beautiful in a classical sort of way and not at all like the typical vapid sorts who usually found their way into his bed, he thought. The scars on her back looked like they had come from a belt, but they had long since faded into thin, white lines, and while he didn’t get a good look at her front, it was clear that she had more than one run-in with a burning cigarette.

Wrapping the now damp towel securely around herself, Bethany headed to her bedroom, calling over her shoulder, “I’m presuming that you’ve already had a look around the place, so help yourself to whatever is in the fridge and there’s tea in the cabinet. I’ll be out in a few.” She slammed her bedroom door. Chuckling, Vadim made his way to the kitchen.

Bethany leaned heavily against the door as she debated about calling this in. Holy crap! How long was he there? He could have killed her, easily drowning her in the tub, but he didn’t.
