“I’m going to draw you a bath,” he says, giving me a smoldering look.
I exhale, a little relieved—
‘and confused. “Why?” I can’t help asking.
“You’re tense,” he says, with a smile. “I’m going to help you relax.”
Yeah, I don’t think relaxation is on the cards for me tonight, not while I’m anxiously watching Sebastian’s every move, watching for the catch.
But he doesn’t seem to mind. He leans over, and turns on the faucets for the enormous, claw-foot tub, testing the water and adding scented oils and bubble bath.
I stand in the doorway, watching him, still on alert.
Sebastian looks over, and I must look like a deer in headlights, because he chuckles. “No more surprises,” he says, his voice reassuring. He saunters over to me and gently lifts my dress. “Arms up,” he murmurs, and I obey. He tugs the satin over my head, leaving me in just my black panties and heels.
I flush. This is the most naked I’ve ever been in front of him, and I can feel Sebastian’s gaze like a caress, stroking over me from head to toe. My skin pebbles under his admiring gaze, and my stomach twists at the hunger in his expression. “Look at you…” he says, and it almost comes out as a groan.
I reach to cover my breasts, but he catches my hand to stop me.
“You don’t need to hide from me.” Sebastian lowers my hands to my sides, and dips his head to kiss me, softer than anything I was expecting. “I told you, I’m going to take care of you now.”
I shiver, swaying closer.
But he pulls away.
“Get in the water and relax. I’ll be back.”
The tub is filled with bubbles now, and rose-scented oils steam up the room. I turn off the water and slip out of my panties before stepping into the tub. It’s just on the edge of too hot, but I sink into the bubbles with a hiss of satisfaction.
Oh, that feels good.
I’ve been wound so tight all day, and the water feels incredible against my skin. I lay back, tipping my hair into the water and letting the bubbles mound around me. I take a long, deep breath.
Did Sebastian mean it, when he said there were no more surprises in store for me tonight? He’s been so gentle, now we’re back at the house, a total one-eighty-degree switch from his harsh commands at the party.
His hand, tight around my throat.
I shiver again, but it’s not from the water temperature. No, it’s remembering how it felt, with him gently squeezing the breath from my lungs, owning my body completely. I should have been terrified, but instead… It was thrilling. Heightening my sense of being overpowered in his arms; intoxicating me with a whole new level of sensual danger.
Driving me to greater peaks of pleasure.
My thighs clench at the memory, even as I feel a rush of shame for the way I came apart, climaxing so hard for his twisted games. Enduring his sexual advances may be necessary for my plan, but what does it say about me than I’m embracing them so eagerly? Wanting more.
Wantinghim.
“Relaxed, yet?” Sebastian reappears in the doorway, carrying a bottle of champagne. He dims the lights to a soft, sexy glow, and strolls over.
I smile, bashful even though the bubbles are covering my body from view. “Maybe a little….”
“That’s a good start.” Sebastian sits casually on the floor beside the bath and takes a drink straight from the champagne bottle. “It’s been a long week, for the both of us.”
I let out a wry laugh. “You could say that.”
A week. Jesus. Has it really been so little time?
Sebastian passes me the bottle, and I take a sip. It’s delicious, of course, but why would I expect anything else.
“What?” Sebastian has caught my expression.
