The Resilient Lady Collins

New Story on my Profile!

On the Collins estate, Scarlet sat in a tub of water staring at the closed bathroom door. She was suspicious of how quiet it was on the other side of the door with Ian waiting for her to get dressed and come out.

The shirt and pants she planned to change into were already in the bathroom so she wouldn't need to walk by him without any clothes.

Ian was more obedient than she was expecting when he came inside her bedroom. They kissed again, but he didn't go any further and told her to get dressed for dinner.

"Is he snooping around?" Scarlet wondered. It could be why he was so quiet.

There wasn't anything concerning her business for her to be afraid that he would find so she wasn't concerned. She trusted that Ian wasn't some kind of pervert to be looking through her clothes.

Was he just sitting patiently for her return?
