I’m not known for being gentle.”
“I wouldn’t expect you to be gentle.” He laughed. “I wouldn’t expect it at all.” He stared at my naked body and grinned. “In fact, I quite like the idea of you not being gentle at all.”
“Hmm, you would.” I shook my head so that my hair cascaded and bounced down my back and walked towards the bathroom. “Hurry up and come now if you want me to wash you. I’m not going to allow this to take all night. I still have Lucy to talk to later.”
“Do you really think Lucy expects you to come out after a session of lovemaking?” He laughed. “But then again, maybe you want to boast about my prowess to her and how good I make you feel.”
“You’re just insufferable Wade Hart.” I shook my head, even though a part of me wanted to laugh. I’d never met a man as infuriating as Wade before and while he annoyed me with his arrogant behavior, I couldn’t help being amused by him as well. I was pretty sure that was only because I did find him to be very attractive and a very attentive lover.
“I’m insufferable, but I’m the best lover you ever had.”
“Well, that’s because you’re the only lover I’ve ever had.” I walked into the bathroom and over to the tub and turned the hot water on. “Do you have any essential oils?”
“Any what?” He looked confused.
“You know, peppermint, or eucalyptus, or lemon balm, or…”
“No idea what you’re talking about, so no.”
“What about Epsom salts?” I tried to ignore the fact that we were both standing there naked and he was looking at me as if he were still hungry.
“I have salt in the kitchen.”
“Not table salt.” I took a deep breath. “What about bath bombs?”
“Bombs?” He frowned. “Are you going crazy? Has my good loving caused you to lose your mind?”
“Bath bombs, they release salts and oils into the bath to make it more relaxing. Some of them also make it foamy, but that’s pretty unusual. I usually add bubble bath if I want bubbles. But you have a spa tub so maybe it’s a good idea not to add any bubble bath if we’re going to run the jets. We could have bubbles up to the ceiling.” I giggled at the expression on his face. “You have no idea what I’m talking about, do you?”
“No.” He reached his fingers into my hair and leaned forward and kissed me lightly on the lips. “I have absolutely no idea.”
“Is there anything going on Wade,” I whispered, taking advantage of this moment of closeness between us. “Is there anything I should know about? Anything you’re worried about?”
He stared at me for a few seconds, barely blinking and then he just shook his head, his dazzling eyes going slightly vacant. “Nope, there’s nothing you need to know, Savannah. Nothing at all.”
Chapter 14
“You look like you’re thinking about something real hard.” Lucy joined me out by the pool about an hour later and sat on one of the recliners next to me. “You okay?”
“Do you think I’m a fool, Lucy?” I sighed as I lay back. “Actually maybe don’t answer that?”
“Why would I think you’re a fool?” Lucy frowned and gazed down at me.
“Because we just found Wade hiding out in the damn forest and as soon as he gets back to the house, I’m in his bed, with no answers, but a whole lot of loving.”
“A whole lot of loving?” She grinned. “Good loving, I hope.”
“If it wasn’t good, would I be in this position?”
“True, that’s most probably a no.”
“It’s a huge no. He’s got me hypnotized.”
“Dickmotized.” Lucy laughed and I just groaned.
“Not funny.”
“So I’m taking it you got no new information or you got a lot of new information that’s not good and you don’t know how to tell me.”
“No information.” I sighed. “But his brother Henry is coming tomorrow for dinner.”
“Oh yay, another Hart brother.” Lucy said sarcastically. “Do you think we can get this one to talk?”
“Well, I was hoping, slash, thinking that you would be able to get him to talk and I’d work on Wade.”
“How the hell am I supposed to get him to talk?” Lucy pursed her lips. “I’ve never even met the guy.”
“You could work your magic power on you.”
“What magic power?”
“I don’t know. Flirt.” I laughed and she made a face. “Don’t look like I’m trying to pimp you out, I’m just saying this could be a strategy and a way to
