The Seductress

Chapter 6

I woke up to the sound of utensils clinking downstairs and the bathtub running.

Horrified, I got up running to turn off the tap in the bathroom thinking if I left it on throughout the night but was stopped in my tracks as Marcus came strolling in just as I had jumped up from the bed.

I stopped in my tracks .

He stopped in his too .

I wondered why he had stopped since I had a valuable reason for stopping my advancement but why had he stopped?Was it because I looked like a raccoon at the moment?Well I didn't doubt it anyway.

"I was making breakfast",he said hinting towards the door.

"I figured,I could smell it"I answered.

"I was running the bath for you too,I assume that's why you woke up?",he raised an eyebrow.

I nodded.Not willing to explain why I had actually woken up so quickly so I decided to leave it at that.

He nodded once and went back out of the door.I figured he was going to finish what he was cooking, besides I could smell something burning.

"I could really get used to this ",I sighed ,and entered the bathroom to freshen up.

The sight that met me in the bathroom was surprising to say the least .

Scented candles positioned in some places around the bathtub , rose petals in the tub and with scented water which smelled like lavender.

I hummed.
At what time did he do all this I thought while slipping in the bathtub.

I relaxed substantially as the cool water met with my skin and left me speechless for a split second.

I relaxed fully with my head resting somewhat on the edge of the tub. Letting myself soak in this feeling before it all probably got snatched away again.

I felt tears suddenly spring into my eyes but I blinked them away.It was hard to accept anyone or anything these days with this nagging feeling in the back of my head that told me they didn't belong to me and that they could get snatched any moment from now.

It left me in constant panic ,always giving and never receiving for fear of losing it all again.

I raised myself until my shoulders were visible above the water line and placed my arms on the edge of the bathtub to pull myself up a bit.

Spending a few more minutes in the water soaking up,I washed all the sweat and grime from yesterday off me ,grabbed a towel draped on the racks  and walked towards the sink to brush my teeth. I wrapped myself and my hair with a towel each and padded towards my closet so I could choose some clothes to wear .

I chose some light pink seamless panties and another worn out T-shirt  which was at least long enough to cover my butt and and headed downstairs to join Marcus for breakfast.

I entered the kitchen and sat on one of the long stools at the edge of the kitchen counter.

I watched Marcus dish out several rows of pancakes topped with honey and a light coat of powdered sugar .I was salivating.

"Do you want some orange juice?",he asked snapping me out of my revierie .

"Yes ,I would ",I answered meekly .

He turned to retrieve the Juice from the counter and I couldn't help but stare at how sculpted and toned his back was .I wouldn't mind licking every inch of it I mused smirking to myself.

"What are you smiling about Alexia,do I ammuse you?",he questioned while retrieving a glass from the cabinet and pouring me a decent amount of juice.

"N-no?",I answered more like I was asking a question than answering and I coughed abruptly.

He smirked "I could give you something to smile about though ", inclining towards his dick with his index finger .

I could see the imprint of it in his sweatpants .

Sweatpants?.I don't recall having a large pair of male sweatpants lying around did I ?,I wondered.

"Is there a problem ,Alexia?",he questioned, realizing that I had been staring at his imprint for a few seconds.

I shook my head.

"I was just wondering where you got those sweatpants from, I don't recall having any",I said looking at him for answer.

He sat on a stool beside me and placed his plate of food in front of him.

"I drove to my apartment to get this and a few other things",he explained picking at his pancake with a fork .

I nodded.

We ate in silence.After breakfast he shooed me away as he did not want me helping him to clean up .I accepted but not without putting up a fight first , even though I knew I'd lose because what was my scrawny ass going to do to his 6 foot self?.

I ploped down on the couch ,turned on the TV and switched to Netflix so I could binge watch my favorite TV series today .Some sad sappy romance storyline it had ,but I liked it anyway.

As I watched and waited for Marcus to join me on the couch I made a mental note to ask him when he got up to do all this .I could barely wake myself up this early for anything.

I felt the couch dip besides me and my legs being raised so I turned my head and found Marcus in all his glory placing my feet on his lap and giving me a decent foot rub ,I sighed contentedly.

"Marcus",I started, drawing his attention from my feet to my face.I was starting to sweat profusely .

"I didn't know you brought your car or even stayed around for that matter",I questioned titling my head to the side to get a better look at him.

He cleared his throat before answering.Suspicious I thought.

"I have an apartment downtown,and it's about 40 minutes from here with my car ",he answered and went back to rubbing my foot like he was being paid 40 dollars an hour for it.

"Okay ,I just assumed you didn't stay around  or wasn't from around here",I mused ,inching my head backwards so I could face the TV.

"Really?",he asked sounding surprised.

"Yeah ,you sound really posh",I replied not looking at him.

That earned a chuckle from him so I smiled too .

Both engrossed in the series we were watching in comfortable silence and just enjoying the company of one another,I pondered if i should break this bonding moment with a few other questions i had or wait till later.

I sat up suddenly and met  Marcus's questioning gaze,i stretched a bit and looked at him square in the face.

I realized my palms were clammy again,that's how they always were around him since the first day and I thought I would've gotten over it by now.

Turning myself,I removed my legs of him and got up to pour myself a glass of water.

I placed a glass on the kitchen counter and  bent to  place my arms on the surface forming some sort of cushion so I could place my head on because I could feel a headache coming on.

Ever since the accident ,things have been like this ,stupid migraines that had my head and vision spinning and I suspected it was probably from the accident ,but I hadn't confirmed it yet .

"Is there a problem Alexia?",I heard Marcus ask behind me .Startled ,I got up suddenly and groaned with the sharp pain that coursed through my head as a result of the sudden movement .

Black dots started clouding my vision,and the last thing I felt was a pair of strong arms around me before I passed out.
