In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

Grace's hair was long, black, and straight. She maintained it very well, and it felt like silk in Xander's fingers.

Xander patiently blew it dry bit by bit. The fragrance of her shampoo wafted in the air, and it was a calming scent.

Grace was thoughtful.

The sound of the hairdryer was loud, so Xander teased her. "Not even Benjamin?"

"While we were married, he avoided me like the plague. I would be dreaming if I tried to get him to dry my hair."

Grace snorted with laughter. It sounded ridiculous when she said it out loud.
