Chapter 3 Bath Her

Yael looked around the bedroom as she lay on the floor. The decor was undoubtedly luxurious and spectacular. The entire room was decked with beautiful chandeliers, expensive furniture and some very famous oil paintings. The room was also spotlessly clean and fresh.

Colin finally came out of the bathroom and said, "You're still lying there? You haven't said anything so far; it's so strange. You're gorgeous from every angle. You must be an alien of some sort. Where do I start my research?"

He reached out and touched her nose, then her face. When he was about to touch her lips, his hand trembled and he took it back.

He looked at the woman in front of him with a serious expression and said, "By far, you're the only woman who has gotten this close to me. Today was the first time I fastened the seat belt for a woman, carried a woman in my arms, and stroked her face. This is the first time I'm even having a conversation with a woman.

If I don't get any response from you, I'm going to throw you into the bath tub and scrub you clean. Obviously, it will be my first time bathing a woman."

When Yael didn't give him an answer, he went to the bathroom and filled up the tub with hot water. He then came back, carried her into the bathroom, and dropped her into the tub.

Looking at her dress, which wasn't fit for a bath, Colin decided to take it off. Yael closed her eyes in fear as he undressed her.

When she finally opened her eyes, she saw that Colin was not there anymore and that her body was covered in soap bubbles. Her body was submerged in the tub, leaving only her head outside. Yael knew that the effects of the pressure point that her father had used would wear off in three hours and she would be able to move then.

Colin was obsessed with cleanliness. He scrubbed her, cleaned her, and disinfected her. Yael didn't know what would happen after that. She just hoped that time would go faster so that she could leave.

A few minutes later, Colin walked in with a bath towel. He had a good physique, and his hair was still dripping wet with water. It turned out that all this while, he had been in a different bathroom, taking a shower again.

His handsome face was filled with curiosity as he looked at her and asked, "How's it going?" That moment, Yael noticed that he was wearing a pair of rubber gloves. Colin walked closer to her, holding the clean towel in his hand.

She couldn't believe that he was actually going to give her a bath. She had turned into a specimen for his science experiment! As he lowered his head, Yael could smell his warm breath, mixed with the delicious scent of his shower gel.

Colin lifted her arms and scrubbed them clean. He then moved to her legs and cleaned them as well. After that, he glanced at the rest of her body, not knowing how to start cleaning the other parts of her body, and couldn't help but flush.

It really was the first that Colin had touched a woman, so he was very shy. He looked at her with a flush on his face and said, "I don't like to give up halfway. I am going to have to take off your underwear too."

As soon as he said that, he unhooked her bra and removed her panties. He then dropped them on the floor and began rubbing her back with his gloved hands.

Yael could almost feel the warm flush on her face as he touched her in places she had never been touched by a man before. Finally, when he had finished scrubbing her whole body, Colin heaved a sigh.

She thought that the awkward bath had come to an end at last, but then he pulled the bath tub stopper, draining out all the water in the tub and leaving her completely naked body exposed.

Colin held his breath and began washing her, spraying her with water using a hand shower. Yael finally learned how a neat freak took a bath.

He continued to wash her thoroughly for another thirty minutes before he finally stopped. By then, Yael was convinced that he probably thought of her as a paralyzed woman and that was why he put so much effort into giving her a bath. In fact, Colin had spent so much time giving her a shower, that his body was now wet.

He grabbed the towel and dried himself first. Then, he took another fresh towel and dried her body. After that, he wrapped the towel around her body before taking her to his room.

As it was getting colder outside, Colin brought a blanket and draped it around her body. He then slid his hand inside the blanket and removed the towel which was wrapped around her. Yael lay under the blanket, feeling refreshed, while he went out and came back, dressed in pajamas.

Colin looked at her and said softly, "I finally understand what could be wrong with you. You're so beautiful, but you're paralyzed, and can't move or speak. Or maybe you're a mentally-challenged person, because you haven't responded to a word I said.

I just want to say that if you were a normal person, I would have married you as I've experienced a lot of my first times with you. However, I can't do that considering you might be a special needs person. You would need around-the-clock care, which I can't give you because I'm so busy.

But since I took you in after your family left you to fend for yourself, I will let you stay with me. You're still very young and beautiful. Although I can't care for you, I can find someone who can. I'll treat you as my sister. I don't have a sister, anyway. Don't worry, you will always have me if you need anything."

But suddenly, something occurred to him and he said, "Even though I told you all that that, you still might not be able to understand a word I said. You might have a terrible brain disease, and I can't tell what it is that you're suffering just by looking at you. You can't be taking care of yourself. I need to be prepared for what's to come."

After saying that, he walked out of the room. By then, Yael felt a slight movement in her pinky finger. The paralyzing effect had finally worn off and she could move again.

She was about to move the blanket when Colin walked in again. He was carrying a stack of clean towels that he had wanted to place under her body to cushion her.

When Yael saw him approaching her, she grabbed the blanket, covering herself, and shouted, "Hey, what are you doing? I'm not paralyzed or mentally challenged! I was hit on a particular pressure point which paralyzed me for a few hours, but now, its effect has worn off."

Startled, Colin dropped the towels to the floor and moved away from her. "Are you sure you're telling me the truth? If you're really a normal person like you say you are, then I want to marry you. I have only been with one woman in my whole life, and that's you, so now, you are mine."

Yael was not in a position to argue with him. She was still thinking about her parents' safety. And Colin didn't know what was on her mind.

He looked at her delicate face and inched closer towards her. He then leaned over and kissed her lips softly. Feeling his warm kiss, Yael couldn't help but blush.
