Chapter 2
The Bath
He continued to undress her, the warmth of her skin burning his hands as he
massaged her shoulders and whispered reassurances to her. Suddenly, Jenny grabbed
his hand and put it on her left breast. Barnabas didn't react as he felt her
nipple harden at the touch of his hand, but he noticed that here eyes were still
wild, and with patience he continued until she was fully undressed. Removing
his hands from her body, he knew she was fully aroused desiring a man's touch,
but Barnabas knew it was not going to be him. He had no desire for his cousin's
wife. The only desire he had was to right the dreadful wrong that for reasons
unknown to him, had been visited upon Jenny Collins.
He stepped back from her, and looked at her intently, Jenny could feel his eyes
burning into her nakedness, and Jenny was shy by nature, and now she was embarrassed
at how she had reacted earlier to his touch. She felt herself grow warm, a feeling
of shame was creeping slowly through her, she tried to cover herself with her
hands. "Don't cover yourself from me!" Barnabas said sharply, almost angrily.
Jenny jumped, and she was startled by the sudden change in his attitude.
Who was he to talk to her like that? She refused to move her hands, she was
looking around wildly for her clothes, and the next thing she knew she was imprisoned
in his steely embrace. She was struggling to free herself, but it was useless,
she was no match for his strength. Jenny had never felt that kind of strength
before, and she was amazed because he had seemed so gentle, so kind, but he
was a Collins. Her humiliation was furthered when he pulled her head back by
grabbing a handful of her hair, and cupped her chin, and told her gently, "when
I tell you to do something, don't disobey me, Jenny. I won't harm you. I only
want to take care of you, and make sure you're not hurt. That's all. Be patient,
sweetheart," he said stroking her cheek, and then pulled her into him, and giving
her a quick embrace to reassure her that he wasn't going to hurt her.
She wanted to please him, and she nodded willingly, and he let her go. And he
stood back from her, and looked at her, and told her to turn around and she
did, and he did a quick examination, and was now completely satisfied that nothing
was broken or no opened wounds. He had listened to her blood flow with his vampiric
hearing, and assured himself internally she was fine. That done, he lifted her
gently, and chided her to put her arm around his neck and hold on, and she looked
at him, and smiled.
Barnabas felt an unfamiliar feeling go through him, and he looked at her, and he smiled back at her, spontaneously. He could smell the jasmine aroma from the oils in the bath, and then he unceremoniously dumped Jenny in the tub. She screamed, and he was going to quiet her down, and she turned her back to him. Assuming she was upset, he touched her shoulder gently, she ignored him. He picked up the loofa, and was going to hand it to her. She was sitting stiff, not saying a word, her back still to him, he gave in and walked around to face her. Her beautiful face was looking down into the foamy tub, and she seemed to be crying softly. He bent down to talk to her, and did not see that she had retrieved the silver container for water, and she threw a whole container of water in his face, and she had not been crying she was laughing. Now, he was wet, and decided if she wanted play, they would play.
Walking over to the small cabinet that held the various bathing attributes,
Barnabas picked up a large bottle of something that looked like shampoo. He
walked to the tub where Jenny was now hiding under the water, and before she
could react, he reached under the water, and was going to grab her her, but
she grabbed his hand, and pulled him into the tub, clothes and all. She was
laughing so hard, she missed the perturbed look on his face. He pulled her in
between his legs, and took the bottle of shampoo, and told her, "you've asked
for it now!"
She looked up at him trying to look apologetic and at the perturbed look on
his face, she burst out laughing again. He poured the whole bottle of shampoo
on her head, she couldn't free herself he had her firmly around the waist. Jenny
liked the way his arm felt around her, holding her, and the pressure he would
exert when she would try to free herself.
She stopped struggling, and leaned back against him, and shampoo ending up in
Barnabas' mouth, eyes, nose, and he was spluttering, and Jenny looked up, seeing
what was happening, and started laughing again. Barnabas let her go, to get
the pitcher of clean water outside the tub that was resting on the small stool,
and Jenny grabbed him gripping his shirt, and it tore open. He grabbed her hands,
and couldn't say anything, because of the shampoo all over his face. Jenny was
frightened because he was hurting her now, and her laughter changed to low whimpering.
