anger. You deal with it.”
“What is he talking about?”
“I moved your things here. You will
be staying with us from now on.”
“Like hell I will! You can move my
stuff right back to the cottage.”
“You said you want to take a bath, so
why don’t you do that so long and then we can talk.”
The prospect of a relaxing bath calmed
her down and she followed him up the stairs into a beautiful large bedroom.
There was a massive bed covered with the softest white linen and dark green
scatter cushions. Dark green carpet covered the floor and white flowing
curtains adorned the windows, which were pulled back leaving the view open to
your eyes. There were two plush wingback chairs in front of the window, an oak
dressing table and writing desk that complimented the headboard of the bed.
The bathroom was breathtaking. It was large with a massive oval marble bath in
the center facing floor length windows looking out to sea. There was a double
shower, large mirrors and an ottoman. It was a bathroom built with romance in
mind. A bathroom and a room to share.
Chase opened the taps and threw some
bubble bath under the streaming water.
“There, see. I can be handy to have
around. Enjoy your bath, hotcakes. Your clothes are in the cupboard. I’ll see
you downstairs.”
She waited until he drew the door closed
behind him before she got undressed and sank into the warm water, engulfed in
bubbles. She moaned with pleasure, dunked her head and leaned her head back
against the edge of the bath. Time passed by without her notice, she was so
relaxed and taken in by the beautiful view. She’d warmed the water a few times
and just soaked her tired muscles.
“You are probably wrinkled by now, or
are you trying to avoid me?”
Mackenzie nearly drowned in fright
when he spoke next to her so suddenly. She glanced down and was relieved that
everything was at least covered by the bubbles.
“Get out of here! I’ll be out
shortly.”
“Do you always take such long baths?”
Mackenzie glared at him as he sank
down on the ottoman just to the side of the bath.
“Yes. I told you to leave.”
“I don’t really respond well to being
ordered around in my own home.”
Mackenzie felt herself blush with his
eyes slowly caressing her shoulders and the top of her breasts visible above
the bubbles.
“You look very enticing in that bath.
One might be tempted to join you there.”
“One might be socked on the nose for
the temptation!”
Chase chuckled, then sobered.
“You’ve been in there long enough,
honey. Get out or I will see my joining you as an invitation.” He got up and
walked to the room adjoining the bathroom.
“Before I forgot. We have an
appointment with my sister’s obstetrician tomorrow morning in Nassau. Better
let Frasier know you will be late.”
She sat up so fast the water spilled
over the sides of the tub. She swung her torso around and scowled at him.
“I don’t need you to make appointments
for me. I am quite capable of doing it myself! And least of all will you be
going with me!”
His eyes slowly lowered to fasten on
her heaving breasts bobbing above the water level. He drew a deep breath.
Lord, she had beautiful breasts. They were lush and so temptingly inviting he
could not stop from moving back to the side of the tub. He reached out and circled
her breasts with his fingers. She gasped, then grasped the sides of the tub
when both his hands closed around her breasts and he tweaked and rolled her
nipples between his fingers.
“What … are you doing?”
He went down on his knees and
whispered in her ear.
“I need a taste. I am desperate for a
taste!”
His head swooped down and his lips
closed around an aroused nub and Mackenzie moaned deep in her throat. He
pulled it deep into his mouth and suckled greedily, moving from the one to the
other, driving her crazy. She nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt his
wicked fingers
