“Oh, so you’ve never used it?”
That blush deepened and she giggled. She paused at the sound. Since when did she giggle?
“I might have tried it out.” The red faded from his cheeks as he stared down at her with heat in his eyes. “Of course, I’d be more willing to use it if you were in the bubble bath.”
“Ed!” she cried.
“What? Just the truth. You, me, naked in a bath filled with bubbles.”
“Not happening.”
“Never say never.”
She groaned.
He was incorrigible. “I’m going to make some dinner. Any requests?”
“I don’t know. Something light. Soup?”
He crossed his arms over his chest. “You’re low on iron. You should be eating protein.”
“Maybe. Just my stomach is still a bit funny.” It wasn’t a lie, it was feeling upset.
He nodded. “Soup it is. I want you to leave this door open so I can hear you if you cry out.”
“I’m not going to call out for you.”
“Actually, I should get your phone then you can call me when you want out. I’ll come and help you. Don’t want you getting dizzy, slipping and hitting your head.”
“You are not helping me out of the bath.”
“I won’t look.”
“Still not happening.”
Leaning back against the counter, he crossed his arms. “All right, I’ll just wait.”
“For what?”
“Until you’re ready to get out. Then I can be right here if you need help. I’ll turn my back.”
He turned around.
“You can see everything through the mirror!”
He turned back around. “Would it make you feel better if I was naked too?”
What was up with him? She’d seen his protective side, his bossy side, his authoritative side, his sexy side. But this playful part of him. This was different.
And dangerous.
He could make her weak.
Or maybe he could help make you the strongest you’ve ever been.
“Those are some serious thoughts, Georgie-girl. Want to tell me what you’re thinking?”
“I didn’t really think any of this through, coming here. Because of a kiss. Because you made me feel safe. How foolish was that?”
