Stay the Night ~ A Taste
At the very end of the hall, she heard the sound of running water.
The door to the room was open, so she popped her head in to investigate. She stilled, realizing right away this was MacNiven’s room. His clothing was very neatly folded on the nightstand and there was a small stack of romance novels next to his bed, which was made. Not like her room at all.
The water shut off and then a whirring began.
Titania looked up at the door that was slightly ajar at the other side of room. The bathroom.
He was inside; she was sure. “Hello? MacNiven?”
There was a splash.
She stilled. She should back out and return to the kitchen to wait for him. She should let him relax. He’d been working out hard. She should protect herself and leave. Now.
But she went in.
The steam hit her first. Then she noted the clothes piled on the counter, a water bottle open on the sink, and a towel on the closed toilet seat.
Not to mention the man in the whirlpool tub.
Titania stilled, her camera bag in her hand. Her fingers itched to take a picture of him, one that she’d keep all for herself, to pull out in the dark of the night when she was alone with her fantasies. He was submerged to his shoulders, reading a paperback over burbling water of the Jacuzzi. The water swirled from the jets, obscuring his body. The only thing she could see was his muscled chest, his handsome face, and the cover of his book. Tempted by Fate.
Story of her life.
He lifted his gaze, and he glared at her. “What are you doing in here?”
Can’t wait to read it! Loved the Guardians of Destiny plug! Great job.
