Blindly turning the the shower on,he stood under it's spray water cascading his body.
She had adjusted the temperature for him and had left.
Stretching his hands In an attempt to pick his soap,it fell.
Huffing out a breath,he bent down to search for it.
Finding it,he soaped his skin.
*. *. *
Had it been a while he entered there,it felt like hours, sitting and standing she stared worriedly at the bathroom door.
There was no noise.
What could he be doing?.
Counting to ten,she entered the bathroom quietly,so as not to startle him.
A wrong choice,a small gasp left her mouth.
Her eyes as wide as saucers.
Water droplets mingled with soap bubbles,he stood bathing.
Her face aflame,he was naked,broad shoulders, beautiful slightly tanned skin, strong legs and then her gaze wandered to his rear bum.
Embarrassed at ogling him, without permission and ashamed of her behavior,she didn't realize she had made a noise.
Sheila!,he turned off the shower,did he prefer not sitting in the tub?.
She was caught and tried not to panic,she wasn't Sheila.
Deciding whether to answer,he finally spoke.
Hearing her voice, he tried to cover himself with his hands.sheila! ..I um....not decent
Apologizing for intruding,she thought he was not faring well there and had come in.
Feeling a little embarrassed,he noticed his rear was exposed.
It was a comical sight ,as he tried to do the covering with his hands.
Not wanting to put him in distress,she handed him the towel.
Reaching one hand for it,their fingers brushed.
Instead of taking the towel,luther's hand went for exploration.
Michelle squirmed.Luther!,the towel.
Ugh,yes and collected the towel.
†. †. †
the doorbell rang, Michelle, answered it to find a tall, slender woman with a stern expression. She introduced herself as Victoria, luther's
sister, and barely acknowledged Michelle greeting before sweeping past her into the mansion.
"I need to speak with the staff about the decor in this place. It's utterly tacky," Victoria said, her eyes scanning the room with disdain. "And what is that... smell?"
Emily followed her, taken aback by Victoria's haughty demeanor. "I'm afraid luther is indisposed at the moment. He has gone to work"
Victoria waved her hand dismissively. "I don't have time to wait. I have more important things to attend to. You, however, need guidance. Your... attire is not suitable for a woman of your station."
Michelle bristled at the insult. "I'm afraid I don't know what you mean."
Victoria sneered. "You're clearly not used to being part of high society. Let me make one thing clear: as luther 's wife, you will be expected to dress and act accordingly. I suggest you take some fashion advice from me. And for goodness' sake, learn to address people properly. 'Hello, Victoria' would have been a good start."
Michelle eyes narrowed. "I think I've managed just fine so far, thank you very much."
Who did she think she was?
Victoria's expression turned icy. "I doubt that. You're probably just some gold-digger who married my brother for his money. Well, let me tell you, I won't let you embarrass him or our family name. You'll need to step up your game if you want to be accepted in our social circle."
Michelle felt her anger rising. "And what makes you think I need your approval?"
Victoria smirked. "Oh, dear, you really are clueless. My family's reputation is at stake here. I won't let some... some... nobody like you tarnish it."
Just then, luther's assistant appeared. "Victoria, I'm afraid luther is not available to meet with you today."
Victoria's face turned red with rage. "Fine. I'll deal with this... situation later." She turned to Michelle. "You haven't seen the last of me." And with that, she stormed out of the mansion, leaving Michelle shaking with anger and resentment.

coming back home,I walked into the house with the aide of the Cane.
the door opened and I breathed in the sweet smell ,I had come to know was of my wife.
I couldn't help smile,I won't be lonely and with the right aide ,I would be able to see again.
I was told my sister came to visit.
sensing her coming closer,I stretched my hands.
soft hands held mine and led me into the house.
my home had a different smell now.
she knew how to cook,which he was glad.
he would eat foods that didn't taste the same.
sitting on the couch and taking off my shoes.
my sister said she would love to visit,but he thought otherwise.
he was no joke,when he was out in the society,a domineering billionaire.
my associates had been furious,when I got married to a church rat as they put his wife.
he had let it slide,but they better not try it again.
the daughter of Hawkins,a building executive had cried buckets.
pitiful.
wanting to feel the warmth of her again and scent her.
wouldn't this poor husband,receive as small as a hug.
I waited.
her footsteps stilled as she went to get me coffee.
I thought ,she wouldn't do that ,but was surprised when she came and hugged me.
nghhh,this was bliss,so long to have a soft body in his arms.
he couldn't help but burrow his nose in her neck, drinking in her scent.
she smelt like roses.
I couldn't see a reaction,but her breath hitched.
we stood there embracing and I reluctantly withdrew.
Michelle struggled to calm her breath.
he had burrowed his nose and rubbed against her like a kitten.
he smelt ..... nice ,the confrontation earlier forgotten.
