Dart drives into the parking garage of the hotel and turns the engine off, before turning to Jo. He looks her over to see how she's doing. Jo smiles at him, but her eyes are not in it. She moves to open the door and Dart grabs her arm, turning her towards him. "Jo, what do you need? Tell me, what can I do to make it better? If we walk into the hotel, there is bound to be paparazzi and we will have no control over the situation." 

Jo leans forward and rests her head against his chest, letting out a big sigh. "I am okay. The shoot was amazing. You are going to die when you see the pictures. The interview just started so... The first question she asked was how I got the scar on my cheek." She touches the scar with the tip of her fingers and closes her eyes for a second. "I was not prepared for it and it shook me. You turned it around for me though. Barbara was under your spell and you ignored her completely. That was awesome. All I had to do was twist the knife a little more to come out on top." 

Dart strokes her back, resting his chin on top of her head and grumbles: "She started with that question? That bitch. Who starts with a question like that? What did you answer?" 

Jo sits up a little and looks into his eyes. "I told her the truth. I am not going to be backed into a corner because of what that jerk did to me. Ever." The strength and anger flashes in her eyes and Dart smiles when he sees it. 

He kisses her scar and says: "I love that. That your strength always comes back out in the end."

 Jo smiles at him and says: "Thank you. You're my remedy, for everything." She kisses him softly and says: "Come on. Let's find out how big that tub really is." Dart laughs and gets out of the van.


The second they reach the lobby, camera's flash and they are surrounded in seconds. Dart wraps his arm around Jo and she turns her head to hide against his chest. He walks over to reception calmly and checks in, ignoring the camera's. He takes the key card from the receptionist and she tells them their outfits are already hanging in their room. He thanks her and walks over to the elevator. 

He pushes the button, turns around to the paparazzi and says: "Guys, we will be at the movie premiere tonight and you are welcome to take all the pictures you want when we come down, dressed up for it. But please give us a tiny bit of privacy until then." The elevator doors open and Dart steps into it, pulls Jo in his arms and kisses her head. Jo exhales and snuggles up to him.

They reach their room and Dart opens the door, letting Jo walk in first. Jo freezes and looks at the beautiful, free standing tub in the middle of the room with a wide smile. Dart sees it and closes the door behind him, walks over to Jo, pulls his shirt over his head and tosses it aside. Jo does the same with her shirt and unhooks her bra. 

Dart growls and nibbles her neck, as Jo unbuttons his jeans. Dart opens the tap and lets the bath fill up, sitting down on the edge of the bath to watch Jo wiggle out of her jeans. She catches him watching and winks at him, taking her panties off slowly. He gives her a crooked smile and she walks over to him, swaying her hips. 

He tests the water and gets in, holding his hand out to her. She takes his hand, facing him, but as she sets foot on the bottom of the bath he turns her around and pulls her down against his chest. He wraps his arms around her and puts his chin on her shoulder, nibbling at her earlobe. Jo moans softly and leans back with her eyes closed. His hands slide over her body, making her very hot and bothered. 

She wants to turn around, but he speaks softly, his voice a bit raspy: "No. It's all about you right now. Let go." He brings her to such a high level of desire, that she feels like she might faint the minute she reaches her climax. She can feel him smile against her ear and he whispers: "Good girl." Jo feels completely relaxed and sighs happily. Dart turns her around slowly, holding one arm around her to keep her up. He looks her over with so much love in his eyes, that Jo feels tears well up in her eyes.
