Chapter 50

  Present Day

  The cloth lining had slipped down the copper bathtub and Yelena used her toe to connect the teardrops of water that condensed on the metal, creating a river into where the cloth floated. The servants had set the bath at the foot of the bed, and when she turned her head that way, she could still see quite clearly where her hands had gathered the cloth.

  Sylvin shifted his leg, the hairs on his shin coarse against her skin and the movement threatening to overflow the water. He sighed, a contented sound, as he reclined a little more into the water, bending his knees, and pressing his c-ck against her back. He was hard again she noted with amusement.

  Lying back against his chest in the cooling water, with his legs wrapped around her, had to be one of her most favourite ways to pass an hour, she thought lazily. But then, any time spent skin to skin with Sylvin gave her purpose in life.
