CHAPTER 4
Riley helped Lara sit up and noticed then that she had blood on her back. He could see some of the cuts through her torn tank top.
"That guy was pretty rough with you wasn't he!" Riley said sympathetically.
"I wasn't expecting it; I was too busy thinking about this other guy."
"Ah" he didn't quite know why, but Riley felt his heart sink at the mention of another man. True he had only just met this woman, but there was something extremely attractive about her, not just the way she looked, but something in her manner, the way she spoke, the way her lips curled when she tried to smile through her obvious discomfort.
Lara caught his reaction to what she had said and felt the urgent need to clarify the situation. So she explained as naturally as she could. "I'd just finished my latest commission and when I met with the guy who hired me, he seemed a little strange. I just don't like that little man," she saw Riley brighten again as she said that so she continued "he's old enough to be my father and every time I see the man he tries to touch me, and gawks at my chest!" riley smiled slightly, he had noticed when he had first put her where she lay now that she had a killer figure.
"Don't you like being touched then?"
"Not by 55 year old men who thinks it's attractive to squeeze your ass whenever they get the chance"
Riley laughed, showing off the his dimpled cheeks.
"I tell you what," he said as he sat down next to her on the bed. "How
would you like it if
I go and run you a nice hot bath. You can sit there and relax in peace
for as long as you
want. Then well get those cuts on your back seen to, Sound good?"
Lara sighed deeply "Hmmmmmm that sounds wonderful"
"Right then," Riley got up and walked across the room to a previously
unnoticed door. It
led to a bathroom. He ran Lara her bath and then led her into the room
slowly.
"Will you be ok?"
"Yes, I'll be fine" Lara couldn't help but smile. She didn't know
anything about this man
but she knew she liked him.
"Ok then," he placed a hand on her shoulder softly "if you need
anything just call, I
won't go too far" Lara nodded and watched him head towards the door,
he smiled
warmly at her and began closing the door. "Riley!" She called before
the door closed
fully.
"Yeah" he poked his head through the gap, still smiling. Lara shuffled
her feet a little, she
wasn't used to being kind to strangers but this guy was different, "I
just.well I wanted
to say.Thank you"
Riley smiled wider "anytime" then the door closed, she heard his
footsteps retreat into the
living room.
Lara smiled to herself as she undressed and lowered herself into the
large tub. Revelling
in the feel of the hot water on her naked flesh.
