Chapter 21
Arun had managed to catch yet another rabbit for their dinner. Selene sat back, munching on nuts and berries he’d brought back along with the rabbit and a few other ingredients.
She was more than happy to sit back and watch him cook dinner for them again. Especially with the fine view she had.
In the nicely heated bunker, Arun had opted to remove his shirt when he returned from his hunt. Which Selene was extremely grateful for. His upper body was just as ripped and perfect as she thought it would be. If not, better.
Her mouth watered, and not just for a taste of the delicious smelling food. She had never wanted to lick anyone before, but god, she wanted to lick every inch of him.
She wanted to wrap his long, white hair around her hands and hold his head between her legs while he devoured her. She wanted to push him onto his back and ride him like a horse. She wanted him to hold her up against the wall as he penetrated her from behind.
She wanted to do so many things with him and have him do so many things to her. The only thing stopping her was the fact he was Fae.
Selene knew he desired her. She had seen it in his eyes on multiple occasions. So, that wasn’t the problem. It was just the fact that he was Fae, and she didn’t know if she could get past that.
Of course, you can!Her mind pipped up.Look how wet you are from just watching him cook?
It was true. She was wet from watching him. After all, she wasn’t blind, she could see his incredible bodyandappreciate it. But there was a big difference between being aroused and actually letting him touch her. The first was easy. The second, not so much.
He was playing havoc with her mind and body. One minute her head was telling her to keep her distance because of who and what he was. The next minute, it was telling her to throw caution to the wind and showing her all kinds of naughty things that they could be doing while alone in the bunker.
“God, I need a cold shower.”
Selene hadn’t realised she’d spoken out loud until Arun turned to look at her with a raised eyebrow.
Good one, dick head,she said to herself before saying to him, “I feel really grubby. We’ve been travelling for days and the closest I’ve come to a wash is when its rained.”
“There’s not a lot we can do about it at the moment,” he said.
“Well, there is something,” she said, remembering the wooden bathtub beneath one of the other beds. “But it would mean lugging a load of water back here and then finding some way to heat it.”
Arun frowned. “Is there a hidden room in here that I don’t know about?”
“No, but there’s a hidden bathtub,” Selene laughed.
“Where is it?”
“In the other room, under one of the beds,” she said.
Without a word, Arun stood up and walked into the other room. He emerged a couple of minutes later with a triumphant look on his face.
“The bath is ready, if you’d like to get in before dinner,” he said.
Selene tilted her head as her eyebrows shot up. “Really? How did you do that?”
“Magic,” he replied with a smile.
Selene caught herself smiling back at him. “Thank you.”
It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for her, and it broke down the last barrier protecting her heart.
Smashed it, don’t you mean?
In that moment, if he’d asked her to strip down naked and have sex with him, she would have. Thankfully, he didn’t.
Selene darted off into the other room before she could make a fool of herself. She walked in to find that Arun hadn’t only filled the bathtub with steaming hot water, he’d added something to it to create bubbles. The heavenly scent of lavender and waterlilies wafted from the bathtub, relaxing her before she’d even stepped foot in the water.
Selene couldn’t get her clothes off fast enough. She left a trail of them as she rushed over to the bathtub. By the time she reached it, she was completely naked.
