After-bath

Handing her a towel along with a shirt and a pair of shorts that belonged to him, Darren was surprised when Kyley snatched it from him and stomped her feet as she walked into the bathroom.

Slam!

Darren watched this with his mouth slightly agape on surprise. Sometimes, Kyley's actions were so random one of these days that he couldn't match it with the same shy, reserved, and timid werewolf that he used to know her to be. She had become a totally different person!

Nonetheless, Darren only heaved a deep sigh and shook his head before continuing downstairs to finish his meal. Once he was done with his meal, he picked up both his plate and Kyley's and went to clean them in the kitchen. Thereafter, he returned to the living room to relax on the couch after the sumptuous breakfast.

' I hope she fits in those shirt and shorts...' As he lay on his back and stared at the exposed beams above, Darren's thought wandered to Kyley. He'd only realized that Kyley didn't have clothes to wear when he went to get her a towel and he wondered if his would fit her as he was pretty much larger in body mass than she is. ' Next time I visit the city to stock up the house, I should probably get her some clothes' The dress Kyley wore until now was taken by Darren from one of his... Victims. Darren made a mental note to get her a new one later.

However, he wondered if that would ever happen since Kyley's wounds was healing at a tremendous rate. She had already started walking around afterall!

' If this continues, then wouldn't I be taking her to the city before I can even dream of getting her new clothes?' Darren smiled in a self depreciating manner, however, he didnt linger too long on the thought.

...

Stepping into the bathroom, Kyley held the doorknob as she pushed the door close in a loud slam. She felt the impact of her action at her wound but she didn't care, she was still mad and frustrated!

Amidst the still silence, Kyley stood facing the door with her head lowered, a raging mutter resounding in her head from her wolf. ' How dare he tell me to take a bath!' How dare he?!' She felt so insulted, so much that she wanted to stab Darren in the chest.

Tap! Tap!

After a while, she heard footsteps outside, which grew far and farther the more she listened. Kyley could tell that Darren had walked away from where he previously stood.

" Hah!" Kyley heaved a deep sigh and latched the door. She found no reason to still be mad about Darren asking her to take a bath, though she was still frustrated. Nonetheless, she decided to let it go and take a fresh bath. She knew she needed it too, just that she didn't like Darren being the one to tell her.

She slowly turned to find the bath tub in the small bathroom space. The toilet was by the right side, facing the window that allowed for light to pour into the bathroom, and to the left stood the sink base with cabinets. It had a square mirror right above it on the wall. The sink was closer to the door unlike the toilet which was quite the few steps away from the door.

There were two hangers on the wall, each hung a scrub and a lantern. And the towel rack that very close to the bathtub at the rear end of the bathroom was empty.

The beam and the wooden setting have the bathroom a warm rustic vibe suitable for bathing.

Since it was only just ahead, Kyley walked towards the bathtub with the towel and cloth which Darren had given to her in hand. She looked herself in the mirror as she passed by but didn't linger too long. Kyley wasn't the type to focus her attention on her looks, she'd accepted herself for who she is and not what she looked like.

Continuing towards the bathtub while still looking around the place, she noticed the toilet paper holder on the wall close to the toilet, and also a small cabinet at the feet of the bathtub.

Kyley looked at the cloth and towel in her hands and decided to place them on the cabinet by the feet of the bathtub. After she was done with that, She swung a hand to shift the shower curtain and slowly began to undress.

Thud!

With a soft thud, the black dress that was torn in some areas and was stained in blood dropped off of her body and landed softly on the floor, reavealing Kyley's slender back and slightly athletic figure with a supple backside.

She had no underwears.

Kyley looked at the dress on the floor with a wry expression worn on her face. She only just realized that she had been in a certain dress different from this when she'd left the Moonblood pack but that had become tattered while she struggled to escape their pursuit. And if she could recollect well, they probably got shredded into pieces when she had transformed back then in her last struggle to fight back.

Kyley hadn't really given much thought about it but the dress that she had just put off just now was something she'd been wearing ever since she woke up to find herself in Darren's cabin. And it didn't belong to her!

She wondered if he was the one who put it on for her. And more importantly, where he found it...

Darren lived alone quite alright, so why does he have a lady's dress?

' Does he have someone he's seeing who visits him?' Kyley couldn't help but wonder. Afterall, a kind and caring man like Darren was hard to come by. He certainly cannot be like that without a significant other.

Kyley felt some sort of way at the thought that Darren had a partner but didn't linger too much on the thought. She moved back to her previous thought as to Darren putting on the black dress for her while she was unconscious.

Being a werewolf who constantly had to transform, Kyley wasn't ashamed of being naked constantly. However, the thought of being naked in front of Darren just as she was at the moment left her feeling somewhat abashed and frustrated...

However, since she wasn't conscious when he put on the cloth for her, it didn't make her feel as bad as it sounded.

"Hah!" As a werewolf, being seen naked and shirtless by the opposite sex was a common occurrence. And Kyley made do with that since Darren wasn't an exception. Although, it didn't mean that she wanted to go around naked in his presence. It was just that she couldn't do anything about what had already happened, and she could only let bygones be just that.

' He better not make a mention of it...' That was where Kyley drew the line. Regardless, she stopped giving too much thought about her matter and picked up the body wash and drew the blind before switching on the shower to bath.

Swish!

The shower gushed and it wasn't untill after a long while that it finally stopped. Kyley reached from behind the blind to pick up the towel and wiped herself clean before reaching for the cloth. Kyley pushed the blind aside and stepped out of the bathtub looking fresh and clean. She grabbed the wet towel and left the bathroom altogether.

She headed downstairs right after, to inform Darren that she was done taking her bath and would like for him to tend to her wounds. The bandage that he dressed her wounds with had soaked wet and were now starting to irritate her wounds in a way that hurts badly.

Just as she wondered if he was downstairs, she found him lying on a chair in the sitting room. However, when she approached him, she was surprised to see him suddenly shoot his gaze towards her and stare at her in awe.

...

Darren couldn't help but sit up on the couch and stare at Kyley in surprise. She looked breathtaking after taking a bath.

Her delicate and slender figure fit cutely in his large shirt and her straight legs fit the shorts pretty well since she had quite the thick thighs. Her long black hair cascaded down in a shiny gloss behind her and her face had a certain glow that Darren couldn't describe.

The fresh scent of a cool bath filled the room from Kyley's body, and Darren had never appreciated how soothing the scent of his body wash was until now.

Darren was left speechless at the sight of her. For some reason, he couldn't take his eyes off of Kyley. Not for a while.

He knew that Kyley was quite pretty before but, he never thought it was to this extent.

However, noticing how Kyley began to look about feeling uncomfortable, Darren forced himself to look to the side. He didn't know when he blurted out and said. " I'm sorry... Just... You looked so pretty that I couldn't take my eyes off for a minute." Darren bit his lip to stop himself from saying more.

Kyley hearing Darren was stomped for a bit and just stared at him blankly. His words repeated in her head over and over again. ' Pretty?'

' I'm pretty?' her whole life, Kyley had never heard anyone say that to her. She'd never even considered her looks to be anything... Anything hut that. She used to think that she must be ugly since people treated her that way.

However, hearing Darren call her pretty made her feel a bit relevant and important. Something changed in her. She felt a bit more in place.

" Thank you" Kyley lowered her head and said in a low mutter, reaching to flip a bit of her hair that fell on her face behind her ears with a finger. She felt that the bath was definitely worth it!

She wasn't sure if Darren heard her but she wasn't saying that again as her face was already steaming hot. She couldn't help but hide her face away from Darren.

" Ahem! Right, let's go tend to your wounds" Darren cleared his throat and said as he rose from his seat.

Kyley who had totally forgotten that she had come downstairs to inform Darren to come tend to her wounds looked up in shock. Embarrassed and overwhelmed, she just turned and walked up the stairs in a hurry, ignoring the not so slight pain she felt from her wounds. She just couldn't face Darren anymore.

Not that she wouldn't have to face him in the room later... Ahem! With him tending to her wounds, of course.

But at the moment, she wanted to get out of his face.

" That's a yes, I guess?" Darren muttered with a wry smile. He scratched the back of his head in thought and shook his head after. He then moved to follow behind Kyley upstairs.
