eyes widened when she looked over her shoulder.
“Wh—what’re you doing?” she whispered.
“Kissing you.” He smiled, landing one more kiss to her shoulders.
“And I thought you might like to take a hot bath. Maid service is going to be coming to change the bed and food will also be brought. Since you didn’t eat much before, you should be pretty hungry now.”
She turned away from him, taking hold of the sheet, covering her body. When she lowered her head a cascade of blonde covered her face.
Blaine also turned, lounging on his side in front of her with nothing more than a towel.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
She shook her head and slid from the bed, holding the sheet around her tightly. Blaine watched her go and sighed when the door closed behind her. Clueless. That is what he is at the moment. Completely fucking clueless. And let’s not forget dumbass as well. What the fuck did he expect? Her to wake up and fling herself into his arms? He kissed her on the roof, had her locked in a room and had sex with her. All within the matter of hours and she really didn’t even know him. Hell, he didn’t even know himself at the moment for the way he acted. It wasn’t like him to act like a school boy and not a man who had a woman before.
In the bedroom, Blaine sighed got off the bed, picked up the robe and slipped into it. Just as the towel around his waist dropped to the floor, a knock landed on the door, then opened. Three girls came in, one of them carrying a tray of food. They went to work, stripping the bed and clearing away the food brought in earlier. As they worked, Blaine went towards his jacket, digging in the pocket for his cell phone.
“Randal, it’s me,” he said once the other end got picked up. “It looks like I’ve found our missing girl.”
34
“That’s good news, sir!”
“Yeah, well I’ve also married her it seems.” Dead silence. “Randal, you still there?”
“I’m sorry, sir. You caught me a bit off guard.”
Blaine smiled. He sure wished he’d been standing next to the man to see the composure of his wisecrack a bit. “Yeah, well I’ve caught myself off guard as well. I didn’t think this would be how I’d get her out of this damn place.”
“What time would you like for me to have Henning be there in the morning?”
Just like Randal to quickly get himself back together. “They bring breakfast in early around here, but you really don’t have to leave until noon. So make sure he knows to be here at least by then. I’m going to let her sleep and get a good meal before leaving. She hasn’t walked outside this place in years.”
“Understand. Would you like for me to have Sally get a few things for her?"
“Yeah, have Sally I don’t know, get those girly things for the bathroom and stuff. Once we leave here I’ll take her to get some clothes.
Oh and hire someone to help Shyla and stuff. I think she should have someone around to take care of her needs for a change.”
“Yes sir. I’ll take care of it. Oh and almost forgot. Mr. Noved and Mr. Knight have called several times. They would like it if you checked in with them.”
Blaine couldn’t stop the growl from slipping. “Wish they would leave me alone sometimes.”
“Mr. Knight is very insistent on knowing if you have married. What would you like for me to tell him once he calls again?”
“Not a damn thing. Just tell them both that I’ll call them sometime tomorrow afternoon.”
“Yes sir.”
Blaine hung up and the servants left the room, locking the door behind them. At the same time, Shyla opened the bathroom door, robe tightly knotted around her waist, hair wet. Just the sight of her made him smile.
“Hungry?” he asked. She nodded and he reached out to her. “Come on then, let’s eat something. We both didn’t eat shit earlier.”
He took hold of her hand, pulling her over to the low table. She sat down next to him watching every move he made as he took tops off
