“Eliana.  That’s a really pretty name.”<br/><br/>Nicholas knelt beside the bathtub.  Normally, it was his job to lather and wash Sebastian.  But since the angel was almost completely submerged, he couldn’t perform a similar function for her.  Instead, Nicholas gazed into the water with a slightly dreamy expression.  He’d never seen a naked woman before, much less a naked angel, and he was curious.  But the water’s rippling surface made it difficult to catch more than tantalizing glimpses of what lay beneath.

He liked the way that the angel’s blonde hair seemed to dance in the currents, like swirls of liquid sunlight.<br/><br/>“I hope Sebastian wasn’t too rough with you.  It’s easiest to just do whatever he wants.”
