Safe place (3)

"Must you do work now when it is time for you to be in bed?" Ian asked, watching Scarlet from where he lay on her bed. 

"I have been with my family all day and have not looked at work. Then with the trip we are planning to take, I must hurry to do as much as I can so I will be completely free then. It is a benefit for you, is it not?" Scarlet asked as she was doing this for him as well.

"It is a benefit for the future me but present Ian doesn't like seeing you. We should please the Ian that is with you now and go to bed, Scarlet. I am waiting patiently but that patience is starting to run out," Ian said, tempted to lift her and bring her to bed.
