I swooned at the fondness in his gaze.
We stared at each other openly, until my teeth chattered again.
"Call me if you need anything," he said before slipping out of the room. I struggled to get my clothes off, and then I walked towards the bath. Because my limbs felt frozen and stiff, I slipped on some water that dripped on the floor and fell into the bathtub, sending water everywhere, and my shampoo and conditioner crashing to the floor.
The door flew open. "Rune!" Ares exclaimed, staring around the bathroom like the enemy was about to pop up out of thin air.
I held up my hand, pushing my wet hair out of my face. “That was me just being clumsy."
"Oh, okay.” But he was distracted, because there weren't any bubbles in the bath, so his gaze slid over my body.
He stood there, as if in a trance.
And…I decided to be brave.
"Stay," I whispered. "Better yet, get in the bath with me."
He stared at me, like he was wondering if this was all a dream. And I was wondering as well, because I was never this brave in asking what I wanted.
"Are you sure?" he asked, because we both knew where it would lead.
"Yes."
He slowly took off his dripping clothes, revealing inch by inch of his beautiful, perfect body. I averted my eyes at the last second as his pants slid down, even though I was eager to see that part of his anatomy.
Baby steps in this bravery thing.
I was staring at my hands in the water when he slipped in, sitting across from me, his legs on either side of me. I tingled all over from where we touched.
We just stared at each other, the soft light of the candles he’d lit on the counter flickering against his features. I took my time, taking every inch of him in.

"Sometimes I think I’ve just dreamed you into existence," I murmured, well aware of how besotted I sounded as I stared at her. Her eyes were closed and her head was tilted back as she soaked up the warm water.
I loved her body. Everything in me ached for, needed her. The way that I wanted her was going to drive me insane.
As much as the last month had been about getting her to fall in love with me, I realized that it had given me time too. The blood bond was strong, acting as an instant love drug, and while I'd already been well on my way to feelings before discovering who she was, this last month… Well, I’d fallen even more.
I thought I’d been in love before, but it was nothing close to how I felt now, after being around her every second. Everything about her fascinated me. I couldn't get enough.
"You're staring at me," she murmured as her head came up.
I knew I affected her. Her breath was hitched and her lips were parted.
And I wondered… Was she finally ready for me? I moved forward and her eyes tracked me like I was a predator about to eat her up.
"How about we change the seating arrangements?" I murmured, moving slowly so she had time to say no if she wanted to.
But she didn't say anything. She just nodded her head, a small smile on her beautiful lips. I picked her up by the waist and slid behind her. Luckily the bathtub in this bathroom was big enough to fit several people, so it wasn't a tight fit at all. She was trembling against me as she laid her head back on my shoulder.
I started at her hands, keeping mine over hers for a minute before I slid them up her arms. Until I got to her delicious breasts. She gasped as I played with her tips, working her nipples until she was moaning. They were the perfect size. The most perfect breasts I’d ever seen.
She was staring up at me, her head still tilted back, with a half lidded gaze, one that turned my cock to steel.
It was hard to go slow with her staring up at me like that, her hunger calling to me. I moved my rigid length against her back as I continued to work her breasts. She made a purring sound, and my lips were on hers, my tongue slipping into her mouth as my hips rocked against her.
