*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I stretched my arms above my head, moving to tug my blanket up to my chin. Water splashed and I sputtered as it went up my nose. I blinked, regaining awareness of where I was. Mirrors, lights shaped like lilies, black granite counter tops, and I was in a bathtub. I wiggled my toes, then my legs. 

"Geez this is deep... how did I not..." I felt around and found the other person in the tub with me.

 He drew in a breath, smacking his lips. 

 "What time is it?" he asked, clearing his throat. Donovan put his palms on the rim of the tub and tried to stand up. I was on top of him so it was a bit awkward. 

"Hold on hold on hold on!" I put one leg out the tub, then started sliding out. His hands held onto my forearms so I didn't fall flat on my face on the tiled floor. 

 I sat on the floor and stared at the floor. I scrambled to get to my robe, then to where the towels were. I dropped on one the floor for Donovan to step out on. He stood up and I was not prepared for that, oh sweet Lord I was not. 

 Muscles and skin, he was a beautiful God. Along his perfect frame were claw marks, and wire thin scars. They curled around his shoulders, from the underside of right shoulder blade up to his collar bone. A perfect claw mark trio trailed from his hip up to star shaped punctures that ended in the middle of his ribs on the left side. Mark on his thighs were either wire thin, spiraling from one side of his leg to the other, or four pointed stars that were here and there. 

 I glanced down and my my my he was just blessed in every department. Donovan took the towel from me and as if to torment me, began toweling off his hair.I spun out the bathroom, bounding to the bedroom. I looked at the clothes Cosma had given me. She didn't give me underwear! Just the dress, shoes and jewelry! 

 "Why the rush?" Donovan had another towel secured around his hips. 

 "Cosma! And your parents!" I tugged the dress on and was ready to move out the door.

I opened it to be greeted by darkness, the only lights on  were small and were doors away. The windows at the end of the hall on either end were dark. It was night. We had slept the entire afternoon away. 

 Donovan pushed the door closed and sighed. "You were going out there, like that?" 

 "What wrong with the dress?" I snapped.He rolled his eyes, then lead me along, his hand on the small of my back. 

 "Your hair is still soaking wet. It still has shampoo in it." he said, sounding irritated, "And there is no way in hell I'm letting you run around with no underwear on." 

 I tugged nervously at the hem of the dress. "I would have stopped off at Cosma's room... Gotten some stuff."

 "Well it's too late now. I'm pretty sure Devonny got her kids, and everyone is lights out for the day," he said. 

 Donovan nudged me back in the bathroom. There was a hose and shower head for the bathtub. I leaned over with a tower over my shoulders and he rinsed off my hair. I wrung out when he was finished, then he did the same to himself. He looked at different bottles, then poured some into his hands. He reached over and massaged more citrus scented stuff into my head.

 I worked my fingers through, and just felt rotten. 

"Your parents probably think I'm a wreck." I mumbled.
