CHAPTER 47: INVADING MY BATH

I enjoyed the warmth of the bath they had prepared as I laid my head back and closed my eyes, letting the water envelop my body. My feet felt sore from wearing high heels for many hours, so soaking in the warm water felt heavenly. I found myself relaxing, affirming my thought that taking a warm bath was a great way to end a busy day. However, my peace of mind lasted only for a short moment before I began thinking about Raphael, even though I didn’t want to.

I found myself worrying slightly about him given the unrest that awaited us when we arrived back at the mansion. I couldn’t help but wonder if something had gone amiss and if Raphael was going through a tough time sorting it out. Even though it was already late at night, he still had work to do. I thought that perhaps there was no helping it because as the CEO and the leader of the company, he was the one who had to be responsible at all times. Just thinking of him brought a slight ache to my core, and I pressed my thighs instinctively together as I recalled the pleasure of his tongue and fingers teasing my most womanly place. I heard myself letting out a soft sigh as I felt a stirring desire slowly awakening inside of me.

"Stop thinking about him," I murmured softly to myself.

Despite the warning I had issued to myself, I couldn’t control the way my mind wandered in circles, inevitably ending up thinking about Raphael.

Why did he tell me to wait for him?

I found myself blaming him and what he said for the fact that I couldn’t help but wait for him. It was already late at night, and I doubted that he would show up, and then I told myself that I didn’t want him to show up. There was no reason why he would pay a visit to me in my bedroom.

I couldn’t believe that I had sex with him in the car, even if we didn’t go all the way. I was very surprised at how I lost control because it wasn’t at all like me. By that time, I had to admit to myself that being with Raphael was bringing out a side to me that I didn’t know existed, and I wasn’t sure how to feel about that. He was extremely talented at making me lose control and making me bend to his will. I let out another soft sigh as I wondered what I could do to prevent something like that from happening again. It was going to be difficult given the fact that I couldn’t avoid Raphael completely. Perhaps things would get better when my mother and Bennett got back from their honeymoon.

What can I possibly say to convince Raphael to leave me alone?

Maybe he’ll get bored of me sooner or later, and then he would finally leave me alone...

I heard some sounds that sounded like a door had opened before softly closing. My eyes were still closed, but my brain was now slowly waking up after hearing the sound. That was when I realized that I must have dozed off while still in the bath. I had no idea how much time had passed, but my guess was that it hadn’t been so long since I drifted off without knowing.

"You don’t need to help me. Actually, I prefer not to be disturbed," I said without opening my eyes.

I remembered telling the maids that I didn’t require any more of their help, so I had no idea why they popped in again. Perhaps they just wanted to check up on me because it had been a while since I had gotten in the bath. I kept my eyes closed as I waited for the door to open and for them to make their exit. However, the door didn’t make a sound, and instead, I felt a presence inside the bathroom and realized that I was no longer alone. I heard soft footsteps approaching me, and I wondered why the maid didn’t leave after I had asked her to. While still feeling quite sleepy, I forced my eyes open to look at her. Instead of seeing the maid with me in the bathroom, the person that I saw caused me to let out a small cry of surprise before my hands flew instinctively to cover my chest.

"Did you wait long?" Raphael asked before his beautiful lips curved up into a mocking smile.

At first, I found it hard to believe that Raphael was standing in my bathroom in the flesh, but when he came even closer to me and sat down on the side of the bathtub, I had to believe that this was real. I looked up blankly into his face, and then our eyes met and locked. It felt like time came to a standstill as I kept staring into his mesmerizing gray eyes while my body froze in shock. I was completely naked in the bathtub, and there was nothing but water to shield my body from his exploring gaze.

"Why are you here? Can’t you see that I’m taking a bath right now?!" I asked accusingly as I pulled my legs up to curl my body into a ball.

"You were taking a while, so I figured you might need my help," Raphael replied playfully.

"I don’t need your help! Leave right now!" I ordered as I pointed my index finger towards the door.

Instead of leaving, Raphael dipped his hand into the water, and I felt my core clench uncomfortably. He was too close, and there wasn’t a single piece of clothing on my body. Although I wanted to get up and leave, I knew very well that if I stood up, I would be completely exposed, and he would see me completely naked.

What am I supposed to do now?
