“Actually, I was thinking about this weekend. If the weather holds out, I thought maybe we could go out on my boat on Saturday.”

“You have a boat?” I asked, seizing the opportunity to break the progression of my salacious thoughts.

“Yes, I do. It might be the last chance we have to use her too. I don’t expect to have many more days of good weather this year.”

“I don’t think I’d be much fun out on your boat. Frank used to take me fishing on Rensselaer Lake when I was a kid. I would always get seasick.”

I could feel his chest vibrate with a low chuckle.

“I’m sure my boat and the water conditions are quite a bit different than being out on Frank’s fishing boat. But don’t worry. I can get you a bracelet for seasickness if you need it. And there’s always a motion sickness pill, although I’m not a huge fan of them.”

I watched the steam furl in the air above the tub and contemplated the likelihood of getting seasick. After a while, the lazy swirls were mesmerizing, and I began to fully relax for the first time since Alexander joined me in the tub. It seemed silly to fret over whether I may or may not get sick aboard his boat.

“Whatever you say,” I agreed readily.

Content to just appreciate the moment, I closed my eyes and breathed in the soft scent of the billowing moist air surrounding us.

Alexander continued to knead the muscles in my neck and shoulders. His hands moved down to massage my arms, and I started to get drowsy with sleep. However, my eyes snapped open when I felt his fingertip brush over one of my nipples. I couldn’t be sure if it were by accident or not. However, when he skimmed over it a second time, I sharply sucked in a breath, knowing it wasn’t merely happenstance. My nipples hardened in response, just aching to be touched, a painful reminder of what could not happen.

Slipping his hands under my arms, he captured both breasts, and I realized how heavy they felt. Yet, despite their fullness, his gentle rolling of the ultra-sensitive points began communicating to another part of my body. Unfortunately, that area was currently wearing a do not disturb sign.

It was like torture of the worst kind.

“Oh, why couldn’t my period have come tomorrow?” Frustration gripped me and made the rhetorical question sound like a whine.

“Shh…don’t talk, Krystina.”

He tilted his head forward and began trailing kisses up and down my neck. His teeth tugged at my earlobe, causing a shiver to race down my spine. I could feel his erection growing and pulsing against my lower back, a sure sign he would soon have frustration to match my own.

“Alex, you’re making this worse,” I moaned. He moved his hands down my belly, coming precariously close to the mark before I stopped him by squeezing my thighs together.

“Open your legs for me, Krystina.”

“You know I can’t.”

“You can,” he persisted. Shifting his legs, he locked his ankles around mine. In one swift motion, he spread our legs out together. Water sloshed onto the floor.

“You’re making a mess,” I scolded, hoping to distract him from whatever it was he had planned.

“You really are a terrible submissive,” he murmured into my ear. Moving his hand back down to my waist, his finger circled my belly button before traveling farther south to find my sweet spot.

“Or maybe…” I began, trying one last time to divert him from the inevitable. “Maybe I just have a bad teacher.”

“Hmm,” he growled. “Don’t remind me.”

Without warning, he pressed down on my clitoris. I could feel the nub instantly begin to pulse beneath his finger, and I cried out. I arched my back, trying to squirm out of his reach, but my efforts were in vain. He still had my legs trapped and one arm secured tightly around my waist. There was nowhere for me to go.

“Alex…” I tried to plead. However, my attempt to stop him was halfhearted. Despite my reservations, I craved his touch with every fiber of my being.

“Trust me for a minute and just let yourself feel, Krystina.”

Ever so gently, he began to flick back and forth, teasing my pressure point. I was amazed at how quickly Alexander had learned my body. He knew all the places that brought me the greatest pleasure, and he used the knowledge to make me crazy with need time and time again.

Angling my head up, I looked at him. His blue eyes were blazing with so much heat that I had little choice but to surrender. I reached to pull his head down to meet mine and gave myself over with abandon.

I lay curled up against Alexander’s side, listening to his even breathing while he slept. However, sleep evaded me as the past few hours played like a tiresome broken record over and over again in my head.

Overall, our evening had been amazing in inexplicable ways. Alexander had unselfishly satisfied me without taking anything for himself. From the erotic pleasures he rewarded me with in the bath to the way he carried me to bed for the night, he was true to his word and made our night together all about me. I couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect.
