Chapter 0056
“So you’re telling me he’s like the Incredible Hulk?” I ask.
“Yes, exactly! Whatever that is,” he nods enthusiastically, even though he has no idea what I’m referring to.
“Next time I visit the human realm I’m picking up some Marvel movies, I think you’ll love them,”
“I’ll love anything it’s from you,” he smiles, “Who do you want to join you in the bath this time?”
“Hmm, you know, you look a little dirty? 1 think we should get your cleaned up,” I tease.
“Oh hell yes, I’m filthy,” he grins, “Although not as filthy Daddy Axe’s mouth,” he adds with a whisper as Axel exits the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. Water drops scatter his body and I want to lick each one of them off of him. His eyes find mine and he must see the way they’re devouring him like a… well, like a bitch in heat.
“Already?” he asks, looking a little worried.
“No, you’re just so damn hot,” I smile and he looks away shyly, his beast obviously back in its cage for now. I can’t wait for it to come out and play again, but I’m also happy to see that shy smile again. “The bath is almost ready. Is there anything I can get you?” he asks.
“Luke is attempting to make some food, he’s banned me from the kitchen after my last experiment,” Theo huffs.
“I’d love some juice, and my boxes from the living area if you could bring them in when you have a chance,” I
smile at him.
“Of course,” he nods. He returns moments later with my juice and I drink it down in one go.
“I think we are lacking in the hydration department. We need to get some bottles of water in here,” Theo says to Axel as he leads me to the bathroom.
“I’ll have Luke add it to the list,
“Oh a and some marvellous movies,” he adds.
“Marvel,” I correct before Theo closes the bathroom door. He wastes no time pushing my robe from my shoulders and letting it drop in a pile on the floor. His eyes travel my body appreciatively. I put a hand on his arm to get his attention. I tap my ear and then do a circling motion, hoping he can interpret my action. He frowns and then smiles when he works it out.
“They can’t hear us whilst the water is running as long as we are really quiet,” he whispers.
“I just wanted to thank you for helping with Mason earlier I say in a barely–there whisper.
“It was my pleasure, seriously, I should be thanking you. Can you believe he’s pierced? How was it?” he grins.
“So good,” I moan out loud in case anyone is trying to listen in and gets suspicious at our silence, “Is that the first time anything happened between you two?” I add quietly.
“You are amazing,” he says loudly then goes quiet again, “Yes, well he kissed the shit out of me the other day but every time I try to take things any further he gets this far–away look and goes weird,”
“I caught that today, but he soon snapped out of it when I shifted the attention to you. We made a good team,” I grin.
