Chapter 5 - The Village
In order to get onto the road which would lead us directly to Trixx's Capital, we needed to pass through a few villages.
The first one was called Rhinestone, a place where the best gemstones were polished and cut.
As Dix and I rode in, I was quick to cover up my hand with my hood.
Dix Aveguard
We will rest here for the night. I'll get us an inn and hopefully, we'll be able to bathe ourselves.
Leading me to an inn, Dix was quick to negotiate a room and a place in the stables for a horse. There was a private bathhouse which he bought for the evening and soon, I headed up the stairs to the room.
As I walked in however, I blushed when I saw that the room only had a double bed.
Dix Aveguard
Is everything alright, Rose?
I nodded stiffly and walked in. Dix dropped my luggage and walked towards the curtains, which he pulled.
Dix Aveguard
There. You should get changed, Princess.
I nodded as I opened up my trunk and laid out a plain white dress.
I'd better take off this gaudy dress. It really gives it away that I'm a Princess wearing this. Thank goodness the cloak covered most of it.
I then turned towards Dix, who seemed to have no plans about moving.
Rose Riverback
U-Um... are you going to step outside?
Dix Aveguard
Obviously not.
Dix Aveguard
I must assist you with changing.
I blushed as I backed away. As I did that, he got up and walked towards me, turning me around.
I felt him as he unhooked and undid my dress, letting it drop to my sides, leaving me only in my underclothes and corset.
His warm breath on my neck and his slender fingers which were around my waist made my heart go wild.
Dix Aveguard
You're beautiful...
He lifted a lock of my hair up to his lips, kissing it.
I looked around at him, my breath feeling ragged.
What had he done to me...
It feels like I'm running a fever.
He caressed my bottom lip and I heard him gulp.
I looked up and noticed that he was blushing equally as much as me.
Suddenly, a knock on the door startled both of us as Dox sighed and walked towards it to accept the towels that the innkeeper had promised us.
Dix Aveguard
Come on, let's get you washed.
I was flushed, warm and my heart was racing.
Who is he that he can do those things to me?
How does he make me feel like I'm the only one for him?
He gives me those eyes that make me feel special, and not because I'm a Princess.
He lead me to the bathhouse at the back of the inn, where he was quick to feel the temperature of the water.
Dix Aveguard
Let me add some more warmth to it. It isn't warm enough for your soft skin.
As he added in a little more firewood, he looked at me and started to take off his shirt.
Rose Riverback
W-W-What are you doing?
Dix Aveguard
Taking a bath with you. I can't let you out of my sight for a second so we might as well.
A bath... nxked... with Dix?
