It was an ordeal for a man. The smell... it was all over the place... You could smell it for miles... Philip was a fool. It wasn't jasmine at all... roses... Rick took a deep breath. Red roses and something else.
Curse! The feeling of holding that throat... I was sure it shredded silk and apples... And the light, subtle fragrance... was something else. Lower leg?
How long could an unfortunate shower take? And where? Where had Cassie gotten that scent? It was embedded in her skin. He smelled of red roses. The whole place smelled. He was the most perfect of gentlemen. he was there burning with desire and arousal waiting for his wife to finish her bath while she hummed softly in a language he didn't know.
-It will take a long time yet? he asked in a bad mood.
How long did a woman take in a bath?
-Me too... - he was going to start complaining and swallowed hard at the sight.
No more damn tights. And so little was the short skirt that outlined her calves... Well developed and toned. Long, well-shaped legs without muscles. The combination of thicker shin and calf muscles...Given a complete package look. He sighed, shaking his head. He very much doubted he was going to sleep that night.
-I'm done and...
-Where does that smell come from?- He asked in the height of frustration.
He sighed. The scent was in the very air. Was her.
- I always take it with me...
He stared in astonishment. A bar of rose soap... he saw the girl come back parading on the blanket that insisted on falling... she tried not to look. rays. Was it a mole on his left shoulder? She suddenly didn't like the clothes women wore with low-cut shoulders in simple dresses. He certainly drew too much attention.
Heavens! They were running! She carried along with the unfortunate tray too, what else? No wonder. What was wrong with some broken crockery? He was standing in amazement watching the girl fiddle with a small bag he hadn't even noticed before. probably inside the apron.
-There are brushes, soap, and what else there? he asked curiously.
-Everything you might need in an emergency, come on. - the answer was very simple.
Her look showed that it should be the most normal thing possible... Was the girl aware of the seductive image that was walking with her body wrapped in a blanket? He showed forced disinterest by burning at the stake. Small feet and... She massaged her feet with some kind of cream.
-Love, did you have time to save all this before work?-She wanted to know just by asking.
What else was in there? The temptation to know punished him. It was her scent. It was the sight of her on that unfortunate blanket, not wearing anything else... The sight left him on fire. Smooth, smooth, smooth legs... he scratched his head muttering. Women! But of course, it shouldn't surprise her that the girl has all that with her.
-Do you also have a mirror in that bag? She widened her eyes in astonishment.
It was the vision of punishing a mortal... The compulsive hands that kept announcing his arrival... The rings on the well-made fingers... and the ankles full of bracelets... The ornate earrings... There was not a detail missing. .. the girl appreciated the jewellery from the market in the square.
-Always ready? He shrugged his shoulders in defeat.
-Sure. Do you expect me to go to the market all messed up? - the question was as innocent as possible.
Rick narrowed his gaze. He didn't need to walk around like that either, all dressed up and drawing attention. The sound of the bracelets... He noted with some curiosity the necklace around her delicate neck and its stones.
-I'm glad you didn't leave in such a hurry.- he growled low and walked to the bathroom.
--Why, only at lunchtime. Looking doesn't take away a piece, you know?
Women! Did she expect him to go to sleep with his body on fire the way he was? It was hellishly hot in that stuffy cave and with the natural thermal pools. As soon as they arrived in the village... The imagination ran wild with fantasies and visions...
Damn abstinence. She was about to climb the walls. How long did a recovery like that take? Although it was already a relief not to feel pain and to notice a normal erection. He feels his body on fire, burning in hot oil. Just the excitement that started in the head and the simple idea of starting it...The sexual performance frustration after all... he was aroused and erected like a young boy. He closed his eyes, soaking his body in the hot water. He knew from experience that Cassie had no experience. And suddenly there he was. The first time after..."Will it take much longer?" Her voice made him twitch tensely.To take time? He was uncomfortable getting out of the water and letting her see him...-You're tense... - She spoke calmly.Rick slowly felt his hands and fingers begin to massage the knuckles in his neck.-I'm...- Richard swallowed hard.- It will be much better when we are in the village, won't it? - Cassie asked hopefully. - Both of us...Rick forced a smile, slowly getting out of the water. Very slowly he picked up the blanket, tucking it around his waist a little seriously. He hated to admit that he was a little insecure. Was...-I think we'll get some peace while I think about what to do...He saw Cassie sigh with some relief if she came to a halt. He was suddenly not quite sure how to act. He was a man and in those conditions..."It's cold," she complained under her breath and snuggled against him. -If Philip...Rick took a deep breath, settling himself on the makeshift bed of blankets. He felt the girl snuggle even closer, her head resting on his chest.-Vladimir is a friend. You can be sure he will help us. I just need evidence to press charges against Philip in court, honey.Cassie nodded more easily and closed her eyes wearily. And as incredible as she might seem... Richard felt his muscles relax. Not quite yet, but they weren't going to be in Philip's hands. Not even that he needed to face his brother in a competition for the leadership of the pack.- Just sleep. we're leaving in the morning. I promise that tomorrow we'll be in a comfortable, warm bed after a good meal.Considering the girl didn't decide to take more apples from the orchard there.
-We'll be fine. All I can think about is him and his people. Your brothers... people who know ancient healings, incantations, ancient traditions. Let's get sanctuary. Time for you to recover and rest and so am I.
