“The closet is huge, so we can share if that’s okay?”
“Of course, it is.” She walked into it and gasped. It was as big if not bigger than her bedroom at home. There were so many drawers and rods she couldn’t fathom using more than one. His clothes were on the left side and didn’t take up half of the area.
“Let me show you the bathroom.”
She followed him into the most beautiful bathroom she’d ever seen. A huge tub stood off to the side. Next to that was what looked like a small bare desk with a mirror above it that she guessed was a lady’s makeup area. Then next to that was one of the closets. She opened it and grinned. It was a room just for the toilet. She’d never seen such a thing before. The other door was a large closet with towels and supplies.
She turned to see Travis turn on a walk-in shower with a pretty gray tile with specks of browns and blues.
“Get your things, sweetheart, and hop in. I’m going to make a quick call, and I’ll be back.
“Okay.” She stripped, tied her hair up, and stood under the hot water. She moaned as it took the tension she had in her shoulders and washed away the grimy feeling she got from the car ride. She dried off and wrapped a towel around herself before slathering on lotion and brushing her teeth.
She was pulling her nightgown out of her bag when he came back.
“You might as well put that away. I don’t want anything between us when we’re sleeping.”
“Oh, like when we were at the hotels?”
“Yes. Is that okay?”
She felt herself blush and then nodded. She liked feeling his skin next to hers at night.
“I won’t be a minute, so hop into bed, and I’ll be right back.”
She threw the towel over one of the chairs and slid into bed. She hummed at the feeling of lying on clouds. It was the softest bed she’d ever slept in, and the sheets felt silky against her skin.
The thought of all the women he’d probably had in that bed made her stomach tighten. She wasn’t ignorant enough to believe he hadn’t had women. Probably a lot of women, but the thought of lying in the same bed that he’d had sex with them in was making her slightly nauseated.
“What’s wrong?”
She turned to him. “Nothing.”
He turned off the lights, got into the bed, and wrapped his arms around her.
“Tell me.”
“I know it’s silly, but I started thinking about all the women you’ve had here, and I…”
“Whoa, stop. I’ve never had a woman in this place. I’ve never liked bringing women into my personal space.”
“But … I’m here.”
He pressed a kiss to her lips. “Because you belong here. This is our personal space.”
She sighed and cuddled against him.
“Hey, baby. I talked to Kaleb and told him we were wiped out, and we’d see them tomorrow. Get some sleep.”
“Mmmm, okay.” Her eyes closed, and she was out. Sleep was coming much easier to her these days. That was her last thought.
Chapter Eleven
Nia looked out the window of the car service Travis made her use if she went anywhere. He wanted her as secure as possible, and she was fine with that.
She was on the way back to Travis after spending the morning with her friend. She couldn’t help but smile as she thought about the night before when she and Travis went to Aleena’s for dinner. She’d met Larkin, a woman Aleena had talked about often.
Now she knew why her friend liked her so much. She made her laugh so hard as they played in Aleena’s playroom, she just about peed her pants.
