“Private balcony,” Henry said. “Goes the length of the room.”
“Wow,” I whispered.
“Not yet, Sage. Save that wow for this…”
Henry grabbed my hand and took me into the master bathroom.
That bathroom alone was bigger than my bedroom back at home.
“How about this part?” Henry asked.
He pointed to an old-fashioned claw-foot tub.
It had its own corner. More than that, it had its own two windows, custom built for the tub.
I walked to the bathtub and nodded.
“I thought so,” Henry said.
I looked back at him. “I’m not sure how to take this. Of all the places you show me in this house, you pick the one that involves me getting naked.”
“Oops,” Henry said with a grin.
“That’s really funny, Henry.”
“To be fair here, I thought this was the perfect spot to relax. You can sit in a hot bath, unwind, rest, relax your mind and body, and look out to the ocean. You have to admit the view is awesome.”
“More than awesome. I want to tear my clothes off right now.”
I gasped when the words slipped out of my mouth.
Henry folded his arms. “Works for me.”
I tilted my head.
“So here’s my plan,” Henry said. “You should take a bath. Yes, that involves you getting naked. That’s just a byproduct of a bath. What I’m suggesting is you take a hot bath and let me take the kid down to the beach. On the quad. He gets one. I get one.”
My back stiffened. “I don’t know about that.”
“I’ll show him how to use it. We’ll go slow. I’ll keep him safe. If you don’t like that idea, then I can do something else. Just let me help out. Let me help you get a chance to think. I’m sure that’s part of the reason you’re here. It’s hectic. I can respect that. I’m not asking to take over or judge you or anything, okay?”
“Henry, shut up,” I said as I smiled. “If you’re offering to give me a chance to take a bath and stare at the ocean and I don’t accept, then I need medical attention.”
He smiled back at me.
“Please make sure Travis has a helmet on,” I said.
“Of course. I’ve got a whole bunch of helmets.”
“You bought helmets…”
“Enjoy your bath, honey. For the record, I get exceptional cell service here too.”
“Cell service? What do you…” Heat flooded my body head to toe. My eyes grew wide. My cheeks turned red. Henry totally caught me off guard with that subtle comment. “Ah, I understand. Typical guy. All they want are naked pics on their phone.”
“Not me,” Henry said. “My phone is clean. You can look if you want.”
Henry somehow makes commitment seem fucking sexy. How?
