Chapter 123: 123. A Quick Soak

Jael stopped in front of a door and Damon threw it open. Jael walked in and Damon stood by the door unsure whether to walk in or not.

"Leave the bags by the door and shut the door close," Jael said and Damon simply nodded and did as Jael requested. The sound of the door closing echoed in the room. She was still in Jael’s arms.

"You can drop me now," she blurted, glaring at him.

"Hmm," he said and carefully dropped her to her feet.

She dropped to the ground and took off the boots. Wondering what the purpose for them had been. She immediately stood to her feet, her bare feet wiggling on the carpet, she had taken off the socks, they felt a little constricting.

She took off the scarf around her neck. The room was warmer than outside and there was no need for the scarf anymore. The room was similar to the size of her own room back in the castle.

There was a candle on the bedside table and one by the entrance. That was the only source of light in the room. The bed was big enough to be comfortable for both of them.

The bed hanging were parted, and the bed laid to perfection, Mauve couldn’t spot a crease. Mauve frowned, her bed didn’t have this. She could have been spared all those embarrassing moments with Mill. She made a mental note to ask for one as soon as they go back.

She looked at Jael, he just stood staring not saying anything. She wondered if he was still angry. She frowned.

"What?" He asked, raising a brow.

"Are you just going to stand there staring? Say something." She blurted.

"It is hard to have a conversation with someone who doesn’t trust you," he said and Mauve visibly rolled her eyes. She didn’t have the energy for this.

A knock drew both their attention to the door and Jael walked toward it. He threw the door partly open and a flabbergasted servant immediately rambled the words, "Sire, your bath water.

Jael moved out of the way and the servant walked in. He placed the tub on the floor and another servant walked in with water.

"W-would... Would my Lord like any of us to help with his bath?" The first servant asked, looking down at his feet. The other servant had her head bowed too.

"No," Jael said stiffly.

"Er... Okay. The second meal will be ready in less than an hour. Lord Levaton said to let you know."

"Okay," Jael said and ran his hand through his hair.

The servants bowed twice before fleeing the room. Mauve just stood in the corner feeling sorry for them. Jael didn’t have to be so unfeeling but she guess that was normal. He only acted nice whenever he was dealing with her.

The door closed with a loud thud and Mauve sat on the couch by the fireplace even though there was no fire. She was tired for some reason even though she didn’t contribute in any way to this journey.

As soon as the door closed, Jael took off his clothes one at a time. Mauve kept her head bent pretending not to see the strip tease. She knew he was staring at her as he slowly took his clothes off.

Mauve occasionally sneaked a couple of glances. What was his plan here?

"Mauve," he called, standing in the middle of the room with absolutely nothing on.

"Yes," Mauve said and looked at him. She averted her gaze from his frame but she was a little too slow and she could see him smirking. She wanted to wipe it off.

"Come," he ordered.

Mauve’s eyes widened. Surely, he couldn’t be having those kinds of thoughts. They just got here. They were guests here, it would be rude. Her eyes darted around as she stood from the couch.

She should say something but she knew nothing she would say would stop Jael from whatever he planned. It wasn’t like she didn’t want, it just wasn’t the thing to do.

"Closer," he said when she stopped away from him.

She moved a door forward and stop.

"Mauve," his eyes turned to slits and he closed the gap between them. "You always get flustered at the slightest provocation."

"Slightest," she blurted out before she could stop herself. "You don’t have any garment on and you’re standing in the middle of the room..." She looked down as she realized she was saying the words out loud.

"Ah, this bothers you." He mumbled and lifted her face. His was inches from her but he did not attempt to kiss her.

"I wouldn’t say it bothers me." She said and looked down.

"Isn’t it normal that I take my bath before taking soaking up in the tub?" He asked, his gaze never wavered from her face.

"Yes, it is." She said and twisted her hands. She felt relieved and disappointed at the same time.

"Take your clothes off," he said and Mauve froze.

She jerked her head upwards. "I don’t need to take my bath." She blurted. "I’m sure but this is merely for my own entertainment. I promise not to get too carried away. A quick soak and you’re out."

"Promise?" She asked.

He didn’t nod or say anything, he just began to undo her clothes. She would have sworn he was angry a few minutes ago but now his eyes were gleaming with excitement.

Mauve glared at him but he did say he won’t get carried away and it would be nice to soak in the warm bath. She could see the slight steam seep out of the water. She let him take off her clothes as she stood still.

He pulled her underwear to her legs and she moved off it. Mauve looked at Jael to see him staring hard at her. His eyes could burn a hole through her body, it didn’t help that his eyes were glowing. Was this really going to be a quick soak?
