“Mmm.” I wipe the hair from her forehead, tucking it behind her ear, and gently place a kiss on her lips. Pulling away, I see her eyes flicker open. “Hi, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to fall asleep. Do we need to go?”
I smile, giving her a small shake of my head. “No, baby, we’re gonna have a bath and some food. Come on.” I stand, picking her up from the sofa and carrying her into the bathroom.
Placing her on her feet, I reach around behind her and slide the zipper of her dress down, then I slide the dress down her body until it lands in a heap at her feet.
Before she has a chance to step out of it, I lift her and place her in the bath. She sits down as I remove my clothing, letting it pile up with hers.
I climb into the bath behind her and reach for the sponge. I wrap an arm around her front and pull her back towards me.
Lathering up the sponge, I run it across her shoulders, down her arms, and then across her chest. She shuffles a little to get comfortable then leans her head back on my shoulder.
“We need to talk, princess.”
She stills then goes to sit up, but my hold on her tightens. “Is something wrong?”
“No, baby. But we need to discuss what happened tonight.” I continue to wash her body, gently running the sponge over every inch of her, and she turns her head to face me.
“Did I do something wrong? Should we not have––”
I kiss her, effectively stopping her questions. My tongue invades her mouth, and it pushes and twists around hers. I continue the kiss until I feel her body relax again.
“You didn’t do anything wrong. What we did was allowed and is normal. But after something like that, we need to provide aftercare. We need to ensure that we are both okay and comfortable with what happened. I need you to tell me how you’re feeling and what’s going through your head.”
“Erm…”
“I need you to be honest, please, princess.”
I see a small smile play across her face. “Right now, the only thing going through my head is that I’m hungry.”
I chuckle and place a kiss on the top of her head. Climbing out of the bath, I grab a towel, dry her off, then wrap her in a warm robe that was on the back of the door. I quickly dry myself off then use the other robe for me before we head back into the main room.
As soon as I enter, I notice the light on above the dumbwaiter in the wall, letting me know that our food has arrived. Guiding her into the chair at the table, I open the hatch and pull out the covered plates and place them on the table before joining her.
“Oh wow, that seems like a lot of food for just the two of us. What did you order?”
I pour two glasses of water and uncover the main plates. “Steamed fish with vegetables and rice. There is also a cheesecake under that one there. We wanted to make sure that the members got what they needed before, during, and after their time here. Making sure they have access to nutritious meals after any scene was important to us.”
She coughs, choking slightly on a vegetable she placed in her mouth. Once she manages to chew and swallow it, she takes a small sip of water before looking at me. “What do you mean, ‘we wanted’?”
“This club… I am not only a member, but I own a share.” I watch her face, trying to gauge her reaction.
“I… wh… I’m sorry, I don’t understand. What do you mean you own a share? Who else owns shares?”
I finish chewing the piece of fish I’d just placed in my mouth and indicate for her to carry on eating. I’ll tell her everything she wants to know, but I need to make sure she eats. Taking care of her is a priority.
She finally tucks back into her food when she realises that she won’t get anything out of me until she does.
“This place is owned by the Russians, André and Maxim. Rory and I became partners when they couldn’t get the license.”
“So, you own this club?”
“I own a share, along with Rory. Although, technically Kill now owns his share.” I feel a wave of sadness wash over me. I give myself a physical shake and focus on my woman. I don’t want to go there. Not today.
“So how much of a say do you have?”
“Equal say. Nothing big takes place without consultation, although I do have more to do with the place, since André and Maxim are out of the country more times than they are here. We do have a management team in place who deal with all day to day running, but if there are any issues or requests, those come through me.”
We finish the rest of our food in relative silence. I’m not sure where her head is at, but I’ll gauge that once we’ve eaten and are we relaxed.
