Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 88

I had been married before and was no longer an innocent little girl who knew nothing about the world. Naturally, I knew that Tom was probably taking a cold shower.

Once enough time passed, the heat in his body would subside, and everything would be okay.

My thoughts brought relief as I checked my phone and saw a message from Dawn. Without hesitation, I opened it.

"Are you asleep? Please tell me you're not sharing a bed with Mr. White."

Dawn's message was just as playful as her personality. However, the phrase "sharing a bed" struck a nerve with me.

I felt my cheeks grow hot and couldn't help but send her a selfie back with the response, "I have my own room."

I was no naive young girl. But when he left to take a cold shower, it felt like fireworks had exploded in my mind.

The bathroom's soundproofing was disappointingly subpar. The sound of water rushing from the shower triggered an image in my mind that made my heart race and my face flush against my will. I instinctively covered my ears, but it did little to drown out the noise.

In the background, I heard some commotion coming from the bathroom behind me. Suddenly, a wave of steam filled the air, and the scent of his body wash enveloped me, overpowering my senses.

"What were you reciting? Some sacred text?" Tom smirked as he playfully grabbed my wrist and pulled it away from my ear.

I turned to find him looking at me with a smile on his face and a deep gaze.

"I-I was practicing my voice-over lines for work..." I stuttered, taking a few steps back. I pulled my hand away.

"Really?"
