=== E23,
UNDRESS ME, WIFE KATHERINE Asmall garden greetedat the entrance, though the plants were sparse.
| lifted my head and took in the pitch-black darkness.
Only a few faint lights flickered from a nearby house.
The distant hills were covered in trees, rustic wooden fences lined the dirt road that wove through the homes life
in the countryside.
In the midst of that darkness, a silhouette suddenly emerged.
The rickety front gate creaked open, and the figure walked up the stone path.
It was Elliot.
"Rossella, why did you coutside? Its cold," he said, approaching immediately.
"Twas waiting for you.
Are you okay?" | asked, taking a few steps toward him.
His expression remained serious and uneasy.
"T went to see the village.
Its...
indescribable," he said through gritted teeth, his face dark with fury.

| feel like an idiot." Well, thats not something Im going to argue with, little Duke, | thought, wisely keeping silent.
"You'll fix it.
We all make mistakes sometimes," | murmured, slowly raising my hand and carefully brushing my fingers over
the hard line of ---- his jaw.
| gazed at him with wide, adoring eyesthe way Rossella would.
He lowered his head and met my stare.
At least he didnt pushaway.
"The water is ready.
Oh dear...
| hope Im not interrupting..." Mrs.
Noras singsong voice rang from behind me.
limmediately pulled back, and the Duke took a step away.
"You're not interrupting anything.
You said...
the water?" he asked, and with that, preparations for the bath began.
The bathhouse was a small wooden structure, set apart from the main house, further back in the yard.
Inside was a rustic but sturdy round wooden tub.
I took the items Mrs.
Nora had kindly handed methe herbs for the bath and fresh bandagesand stepped aside, watching the Duke
carry buckets to fill it.
The shirt he wore belonged to Aldo, fitting more loosely, but with every movement, glimpses of his strong,
sweat-slicked muscles flashed through.
| devoured him with my eyeswhy deny it? It wouldnt take much effort to consummate my marriage when my
husband looked this damn tempting.
The bulge in his trousers toldI'd enjoy it far too much.
"Alright, its ready.
You can take your time," he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
---- We were alone in the yard, accompanied only by the sounds of nocturnal creatures, the forest looming
beyond the tall wooden fence.
The homeowners had already gone to bed.
"Wait," | grabbed his arm just as he was about to walk away.
"Elliot, you can bathe with me.
We shouldnt waste the water.
Its not unusual for a married couple." Imoved closer, pressing a breast against his arm, watching him intensely,
fluttering my lashes.

"T can use the water after you.
Be careful not to wet your wound.
| didnt fill the tub all the way," he said, slipping from my grasp and simply returning the bucket.
Istomped my foot in frustration.
| stepped inside the small, steam-filled room, mist curling through the air.
The tub was warm, perfectly sized for the two of us to fit together, nice and snug.
Everything was perfect! could have taken him, or at least melted that cold heart of his a little! But he refused.
| tossed my clothes onto a few hooks hammered into the wooden wall.
Frustrated, | began undressing.
Iwas about to remove the bandagesnot that | needed them anymore, but they served as a convenient excuse.
Theard his footsteps approaching outside.
A thousand wicked ideas raced through my mind.
