Chapter 251. Softness In His Gaze
Mauve tried to keep a straight face as Jael watched her but it was pretty hard when he was staring at her like that. His eyes trailed her body with reckless abandon, he didn’t even try to hide how much he was ogling her.
However, she couldn’t deny that was a softness in his gaze, it didn’t feel only sensual. Still, it didn’t make it bearable.
She kept her gaze down, feeling her cheeks burn. She wasn’t just embarrassed but felt a bit self-conscious. She glanced at the scars on her shoulders and quickly looked away.
The corners of the room were dark and even though candles were placed in strategic places in the room. It still wasn’t enough to brighten up the huge space.
Soon enough Mill helped her out of the water and dried her up. The vampire moved quickly and in less than ten minutes she was dressed. They had decided on the dress before the bath.
It was a gray dress with big long sleeves which were tight around her wrists. The dress was a bit low cut and some cleavage showed. It was also quite long, stopping just as it got to the floor. The layers underneath the dress gave it a full look.
Mauve sat down and watched as the dress pooled around her. For a second she wondered if this was too much and maybe she should have gone with something less.
However, before she could process the thought Mill began to brush her hair. Without asking her what she would like Mill got to work on her hair.
The dim light barely showed her a proper reflection in the mirror, not that it mattered, she was certain she would be fine with whatever Mill did.
