Chapter 59 A Shower

• Alaric's eyes are practically imploring, like he has fought his need for too long and just could not contain it anymore. I wonder if that is the reason he just stood by my door and would not leave.
• When I do not respond even after a long moment, he nods in understanding and steps away from the door, but before he can slide it close, I push open the door to the shower. I am not sure why, my hands move before I can fully contemplate Alaric's words or process them properly.
• My naked body is now in his full view and Alaric sucks in an audible breath. That gesture in itself is an unspoken invite and he does not hesitate to take it. He steps into the washroom and shuts the door behind him.
