Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 24

But because I was silent and simply couldn't find the words, Rebecca spoke again. This time, I breathed a sigh of relief. Or so I thought. "Not to worry, Dominic! While she was here, Megan had improvised something brilliant so you can help me and you don't even have to see me...you know... without clothes..."

I was certain she was conscious of her blushing, but she was so cute like that. Beautiful, I dared to say. I had to make a quick comment so she wouldn't feel awkward.

"What do you mean? What did she do?" Impressive. Of all the possible questions that could have piqued my curiosity, I had to ask her this one. 

"Well, Megan took advantage of you letting her stay here and installed a shower specially designed for people like me. That would mean I could wash myself, only I'd need help to get in there.  But first you would have to also bring a towel so I can cover myself. I'll do my part, and then I will call you to get me a clean towel to wrap me up with. Easy, huh?"

"Yeah, if you say so..." 

But did she think about me and how I would feel carrying her in my arms wrapped only in a towel? Apparently, not. This mission to keep the wolf inside me was becoming increasingly difficult, if not impossible. I knew what was coming and my imagination was already running wild. 

In a few movements, she had reached the bathroom and raised her hands as if to show me something. In fact, she was really showing me. The towel she mentioned was lying on the edge of the bed. I looked at it and knew that this was the beginning of my end. My control got shattered. 

And as soon as I handed it to her, I couldn't move an inch. I stood there transfixed, staring at her, expecting... It was almost as if she could actually see me. In fact, she was waiting for me to turn around and for her to undress.

"Would you mind?" she muttered, as if she knew I was still gazing at her with insatiable disdain. Her cheeks flushed and for a few seconds, she lowered her gaze. 

But somehow, I had to come to my senses and resume the reason she was in my arms. Rebecca couldn't handle it on her own and turned to me for help. But it flooded my mind with thoughts of sin. 

"I am going to leave you now…" I hurried to get out of this narrow space as quickly as possible. It was not wise to remain alone with her in the condition I was in. I didn't know if she was aware of what she was doing to me, or how much she was tormenting my untamed wolf, but I had a little longer before I lost control of him. 

"Thank you, Dominic!" Even her voice stirred me in a way I didn't think a simple tone of voice could. 

I closed the door behind me, leaving her in the sound of the hot running water, and sat on her bed, which still carried her floral perfume. I closed my eyes and inhaled the discreet scent. The most normal tasks were hard to concentrate on. In my head it was just her, so I laid there for almost an hour. It must have been hard for her to manage. Then I heard her melodious voice. "Dominic, I am ready!" It was like a wake-up call. An arousal from a painful daydream. I was totally numb and kept telling myself I'd get through it. What could have been so hard about going in and getting her out?
