Chapter 68: Can’t Bother Her
After a week spent in quiet anticipation. A flight on a Friday, right after work. All just so he could do a bit more work to cover up the real reason for his visit. Derek had expected to come back to the manor fully rested.
But he was not. In fact he was more tired than before he had left, all of the energy that he had wasted trashing the motel room attributing to said exhaustion. He had spent most of Saturday holed up in his personal living room. His excuse being the totally unimaginative " I am working," But it had worked and he had been left alone to wallow in peace.
But it was Sunday now, and Derek had known he had to do something to get over his funk.
He did not feel like swimming, which would have sapped him of the little energy that he still had. Which had led to him taking the exact opposite of a physically exhausting pastime.
Derek Haven, CEO of Haven Enterprises, was currently on his stomach getting a massage.
He did not call for Rose, his masseuse very often, but when he did, Rose really worked her magic.
The older woman was currently working on a particularly difficult area right around Derek’s shoulder blades. Her warm hands sure as she dug them into the knot until it all but melted away. Even after the knot was gone, she continued working the area for a little while longer. Once the flesh and muscle had lost the fight and decided to relax under Rose’s practiced hands, only then did she move on to the next area. The only time she stopped, was to apply more oil to her hands, and then she got right back to work.
Were he anyone else, Derek was certain that he would be moaning and groaning obscenely. But he was just too tired for such. So he just lay where he was, a towel around his waist, and enjoyed himself.
His body getting a much needed treat, especially given how hectic things had been. He really had gone all out when destroying the motel room. With all the heavy lifting that he had done, tossing the bed, and taking the doors off their hinges, he was very lucky that he had not pulled something. Or worse, he could have dislocated something in his fit of rage.
Rose, moved her hands, to a spot right where his neck and shoulder met. She pressed down, firmly and Derek hummed in satisfaction.
Yes... this was definitely what he had been needing, aside from sleep of course.
