“What was that, boss?” Mickey shouted.
“Nothing.” Ty’s breathing was harsh and erratic. He felt Tanesha trembling and trying to get some air into her lungs. At least her trembling was not due to the cold, Ty thought satisfied. But that notwithstanding, he still wanted to get her into a hot bath. “Are we almost there?”
“Sure. Looks like the lights are out though. Donk must be outside trying to get the generator started.”
“Hurry then please,” Ty said, hoping they would be in before the lights came back on as he definitely wouldn’t want any of the idiots to see his obscene bulge. He reached for Tanesha’s tank top and put it back on her. “You okay?” He whispered. And at Tanesha’s nod, he kissed her lightly on her swollen lips and moved her off his lap back onto the seat. Then he reached for his t-shirt and Tanesha’s bra just as Mickey parked in front of the house.
Ty got out, still bare-chested, and reached inside the jeep to help Tanesha out. Then he picked her up, bridal style, and sauntered into the house as if he actually owned the place, Tanesha couldn’t help but notice and admire. Damn, the man just oozed power, she thought. Ty didn’t stop till he got to his bathroom. He put Tanesha down in front of the bathtub just as the light came back on, and then started filling the tub. Then he crouched before Tanesha to undo the lace of her tennis shoes. When he was done, he pulled them off her feet and then stood up.
“I’m going to take a hot shower in the other bathroom. I want you to soak in this for a while.” Ty instructed. “I’ll ask Mickey to bring you some hot tea. Take it immediately he brings it before it goes cold. Do I make myself clear?”
“Yes,” Tanesha muttered.
“Good. We don’t want you falling sick.” Ty said reaching for his towel.
“Why? Will that be bad for business?” Tanesha grumbled but knew even before the words left her mouth that they were the wrong thing to say. “Sorry.” She murmured when Ty turned to look at her.
Without a word, he turned and left the bathroom.

After standing under the hot spray for a while, Ty got out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He went into the kitchen and made himself some hot coffee. Then he stood sipping it whilst staring out the window at the pouring rain. He’d definitely never seen a storm that violent before.
“Good night boss,” Mickey called out.
“Night Mickey. Thanks.” Ty responded and went back to sipping his coffee and watching the rain.
Even after he finished drinking his coffee, Ty continued to watch the rain. All the guys had already gone to bed. Hopefully, Tanesha was already fast asleep too, Ty thought as he pictured the scene in the jeep earlier. Fuck, he’d come so close to damning the consequence and fucking the shit out of her right there in the jeep. His hold on his control was still so thin he knew the least thing would make it snap. That was why he’d waited in the kitchen for so long. He really hoped Tanesha was already asleep Ty thought as he headed for his room.

Tanesha groaned in annoyance as she stepped into the room, a towel wrapped around her. She couldn’t believe she’d actually fallen asleep in the tub. She made a mental note to strangle Mickey the next time she saw him. The silly boy had laced her tea with brandy and insisted it would help warm her up faster. Though she’d tasted the alcohol, it was obvious it wasn’t much but since she virtually never took in alcohol, it had obviously knocked her out.
But for that last ear-splitting thunder, she would have still been asleep in the tub. Tanesha was grateful Skull wasn’t in the room yet because for the first time since sharing a room with him, she hadn’t taken a change of clothing to the bathroom. Tanesha didn’t want to risk Skull walking in whilst she dressed so she decided to quickly grab sweatpants and a t-shirt, and then go back to the bathroom to dress up. But just as she reached up into the wardrobe, she heard the door open.
Tanesha squeaked, her heart almost jumping out of her chest. She turned to face the door, her hand going to her chest. She watched as Skull closed and locked the door behind him, and then headed straight to where his backpack stood, not even once looking in her direction. The sight of his sexy body with its sheer power caused a shiver of lust to slither down Tanesha’s spine.
He had such an amazing body. He was so hard and tight…so virile. It was impossible not to become aroused seeing him half-naked. Even the tattoo of the skull on his back suddenly looked sexy for some reason. She remembered the feel of those powerful thighs beneath her, remembered how wet she’d been whilst she rocked against Skull’s rock-hard erection not too long ago. Tanesha couldn’t suppress the moan that tore out of her throat.
“What the…” Ty’s words died on his lips when he turned around to find Tanesha staring at him with so much hunger on her face. He swallowed audibly, taking in her salaciously provocative appearance. His gaze centered on the towel wrapped around Tanesha, wishing it away from her body, willing her to drop the towel and give him a glimpse of that perfect, beautiful body beneath. “I thought you would be in bed by now.” He rasped, feeling his cock swell beneath his towel, his balls drawing tight, in need of release.
“I…I fell as…asleep in the…tub.” Tanesha stammered as she came back to her senses, wishing the ground would open and swallow her up. Her reason for not being asleep sounded silly even to her own ears. She wouldn’t have been surprised at all if Skull had told her just how stupid he thought she was. “I’ll just grab my stuff and…” She turned around hastily to face the wardrobe and again reached up to grab some clothes. Then the worst possible thing happened. Her towel slipped from around her to pool down around her feet.
