Chapter 6
After their conversation this morningGyllian knew that Leo knew the truth so she had been very blunt withhim this evening about her needs and he'd agreed to oblige them.
Knowing that she had several hoursguaranteed where she was free from babysitting, she'd set about thetask of getting herself back under complete control. The house had abeautiful and totally ignored bath. She'd stumbled upon theelegant and abandoned bathroom on the fourth floor while trying toascertain security risks the first few days of living here.
The elegant and massive claw foot tubsat in the middle of the stone and marble room. This particularbathroom was clean but clearly had not been used in years. Gyllianspent the better part of an hour getting it all set up. After acursory tidy, she grabbed an essential oil diffuser, candles, aspeaker to play music, and a few bottles of wine to top it off. There were much to her delight, bubble bath, Epsom salts, and mineraloils in one of the cabinets, and she had grabbed several large fluffytowels from Leo and Elora's bathroom.
Sinking into the warm bubble filledtub was just short of heaven. It was a joy to just float, and thebathtub was large enough that she could. Stretching her arms out shecouldn't touch either end and it was deep enough that evenkneeling, the water covered her shoulders. Nothing but candle lightflickering off the stone walls gave the illusion of being in someunderwater cavern and the rich scent of eucalyptus and citrus fromthe diffuser eased the tension out of her body. She'd put on herfavorite playlist, and sipped happily at her wine and just letherself relax for a while.
The music was loud enough that anysound she made would be over shadowed. The few drops of oil in thewater made her skin silky smooth as her hand traced over her chest. She let the music muddle her thoughts and she let herself just sinkinto the sensation of her hands on her own body. She had a veryspecific image of who she was pretending was between her legs, andshe had to shove the back of her other hand to her mouth to stiflethe noise she might have let out otherwise when she climaxed.
Gyllian sank completely under thewater for a few moments, to steady her breathing, to just float amoment, be herself for just a second. It wasn't the same, but atleast it took the edge off. Her ears had barely breached the surfaceagain when she heard him.
"The reality is better than anyfantasy you're likely to conjure up. I'd be happy to prove it to youif you'd like." He was leaning against the wall just inside thedoor, arms crossed at his chest. He'd been there a while. If PrinceMalfinn had watched her masturbate and orgasm while fantasizing abouthim and she hadn't noticed his presence, she might just die ofembarrassment.
The bubbles fortunately were stillthick enough on the water that he couldn't see any part of her shedidn't want him to, even if her eyes would probably betray her rightnow, she tucked herself tightly together, hiding under the bubbles.
"I do well enough on my own." Shesnorted trying and failing to avoid looking at him.
"Clearly." His smirk was lethal.He straightened up and pulled his shirt off. "Mind if I join you?"
He walked towards the tub withoutwaiting for a response. Her voice vanished, watching him movetowards her. The candle light only highlighted each plane of hismuscled body, his rich bronze skin, and those vibrant sapphire eyes. His hands were unbuttoning his jeans before she found her voiceagain. "Yes. I do mind. In fact, I recall locking the door."
"It's my house." He fished akey from his, now barley on, pants pocket and let it dangle from hisfingers. He squatted down next to the tub and rested his arms on theedge. His face was mere inches from hers, Anubis save her.
