CHAPTER SEVEN

REBECCA

Oh, what have I done!

On a scale of one to ten, Rebecca’s embarrassment rated a twelve thousand. She scurried into the bathroom while Verdan slept. While waiting for the tub to fill with oil, she blushed every shade from pink to crimson to scarlet and bordeaux.

Had I really… Oh, did I… And then!

She buried her face in her hands.

The same hands that had been wrapped around his…

A squeak escaped her lips. That was it. Her only option was to drown herself in the tub, and hope she made a beautiful corpse. She’d been so brazen! A hussy! A tramp!

And I’d loved it.

And he’d loved it.

She stripped and dove into the tub, letting the oil rise up over her nose and ears, until only her eyes weren’t submerged. The sensation was strange at first, but then the oil began to warm her skin, like she sat in a sauna. The pleasant ache in her crotch faded, as did the stiffness in her muscles.

Okay, so mind-blowing orgasms were another pleasure she’d missed from her time on Earth. Admittedly, they’d been the self-inflicted kind. With an internal groan, she slipped further in, letting the liquid cover her head.

Her confusion was to be expected. They’d only known each other a short time. In those couple of days, he’d driven her crazy by turning her life upside down.

Yet, she’d been happy. He gave her a purpose. He treated her like an equal. He clearly enjoyed bumping uglies with her. What was so great about her life that it couldn’t use a good shaking up?

Didn’t the universe owe her some fun now and then?

Of course it did. She deserved a distraction, a temporary distraction, one that wouldn’t throw her off course. One that she shouldn’t get used to, because nothing good ever lasts.

Puffing her cheeks out, she breached in order to breathe, and shrieked when she spotted Verdan lounging against the door.

“You scared the crap outta me!” she sputtered.

“Good morning,” he said, with a wry smile. “I wouldn’t recommend defecating in the bath.”

“Huh?” She flipped the mass of her hair from her face. “Oh, it’s just a saying. It means you startled me.”

He strode to the tub and knelt beside it. For a moment, he simply stared at her. Rebecca’s skin prickled at the intensity in his gaze.

Nothing good lasts, she reminded herself. She swallowed down the lump in her throat. Enjoy it while you can.

He cupped her face, and drew her in for a kiss. If last night’s kisses had been fire and flame, this morning’s was molten lava, pouring itself into her body and making her soul ache for something she couldn’t even name.

When he drew back, the cold seemed to rush in and wrap her even tighter.

“I wanted to thank you,” he said, his thumb stroking her cheek.

“Oh, well, last night was my pleasure, I assure you.”

“You do not understand. Give me your hand.”

Mystified, she obeyed. Verdan placed it upon his chest.

“Do you feel that?”

“Your heart? It’s awfully fast.” So was hers.

He squeezed her fingers.
