Chapter Ten
Kyla sat back in the chair in their hotel room and groaned. She couldn’t remember eating that much or such good food before in her life.
Duncan grinned. “You didn’t eat that much, sweetheart.”
“For me, I did. I can’t remember eating that much before in one meal.”
“Well, you’ll have to get used to it because we need to get you healthy again, so I’ll be feeding you often. Are you still okay with sharing a bath with me?”
She nodded.
Duncan stood and put the plates on the cart. “Then let’s get into a bath, and then we’ll make an early night of it. How does that sound?”
The heat in her body instantly rose, her nipples tightened, and her cunt softened and grew embarrassingly wet.
“I… All right.” She followed him into the spacious bathroom with its huge bathtub.
Duncan turned it on and threw in some of the bath salts. The aroma of lavender instantly filled the room.
He looked over his shoulder at her. “Go ahead and get undressed, sweetheart.”
She bit down on her lip and gripped the t-shirt she had on.
He walked to her and grasped her shoulders. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s just, I’ve never been … naked in front of anyone?”
“You were naked last night, remember?”
“Yes, but I was so tired I didn’t have the energy to get anxious.”
He cupped one of her cheeks in the palm of his hand. “Baby, are you a virgin?”
She shook her head. “No. I’ve had sex once, but none of my clothes came off, and it was quick.”
“You’ve only had sex once?”
She nodded. “Yes.”
“How long ago?”
“Um… I was sixteen, and now I’m twenty-three.”
“Jesus, why haven’t you since?” Duncan asked.
“Because I hated it, and most of the time, I was struggling to survive. I didn’t have time or the inclination to have a relationship. Does this bother you?” She saw the worry in his eyes and didn’t understand it.
“No, not at all. In fact, I love that I’ll be the only man to have you because I don’t count what happened to you before as anything other than experimentation. Are you okay with that?”
She grinned. “I love that idea. I regretted it right after.”
“Okay, then. How about I help you with your clothes?”
She swallowed. “Okay.”
He lifted the shirt over her head and dropped it on the floor before unzipping her jeans and pulling them and her shoes off. Now, she stood in front of him with only her panties and bra and could feel the anxiety start to grow.
What if he didn’t like her body? She was usually thin because she was always moving and didn’t eat a lot, but now, she was beyond skinny after the last two weeks. Her breasts were still a good size, but her pelvic bones stood out, and her stomach was concave.
