[108] Bruises and Warm Hearts

Logan gets up and says: "I will turn the bath on, with a lot of bubbles. Do you want Enzo's bubbles or your own?"

Scorpia leans against the pillows and says: "My own peach foam. I don't want to think about that bubblegum flavor."

Logan chuckles and walks into the bathroom, to wait till the bath is full enough and to get towels and washcloths ready. When he walks out, he finds Scorpia on the edge of the bed, shirtless. She tries to get her sports bra off but he can tell it hurts.

He runs up to her, "these are horrible contraptions when your ribs hurt. I'm glad I don't have to wear them." Scorpia giggles and he helps her as gently as possible, pulling the bra up and over her head.

Scorpia looks at him with shiny eyes, "it would look pretty on you, handsome Scot."

Logan takes his shirt off and puts her sports bra on without blinking. He poses for her with his hand on his hip and she tries to keep her laugh down. That obviously doesn't work and she falls back on the bed, dying of laughter.

She goes from a painful scream to a fit of giggles and holds her ribs. Logan laughs and takes the bra off and helps her out of her legging and panties. He picks her up as she still giggles.

He looks at her beat-up face, those dark eyes shiny and happy. It's wonderful to hear her laugh, it's his second favorite sound in the world. He carefully lowers her into the bath and she rests her head on the edge with a satisfied sigh.

"Ohhh Logannn. This is heaven."

His excitement becomes difficult to hide as soon as he hears the most beautiful sound in the world and he quickly gets into the bath with her, hoping she didn't notice it.

Scorpia's foot slides up his thigh and he sucks in a breath. She opens one eye and smirks at him.

"Hell Bonnie."

She licks her lips and grabs a hold of his ankles, pulling him closer to wrap her legs around him.

"Careful, Bonnie. I don't want to hurt you."

Her hands slide from his chest to his belly, her eyes staring into his, and as soon as her hands find his erection a small gasp escapes her before stroking him slowly.

"Bonnie..."

His head tilts back, his hands flat on the bottom of the bath for support. He hears, sees, knows nothing anymore. All he feels are her soft hands... magical hands... smooth with the help of the bathwater... her finger sliding across the head...

"Oh hell!"

She keeps on stroking him and he feels like he's floating. All emotions, fears, and tension leave his body along with his release. All worries are forgotten. There's only room for complete relaxation and love. He lifts his head and opens his eyes a tiny bit.

She's staring at her hands in fascination and a small smile graces her lips. She loosens the grip on him and cleans him up lovingly.

His heart bursts with love for his Bonnie. He thinks about Bruno's words and knows he's right. She makes everything better and her happiness is his. Her love heals his broken heart like no other.

Logan opens his eyes wider and she looks back at him. There's no need for words, they both feel it. The deeply rooted, respectful, unconditional love. Through everything, stronger together.

He moves back to his end of the bath and says: "Turn around Bonnie and get over here."

She turns her back to him and slides back. He moves her hair to the side and kisses her neck, washing her with tender hands, softly massaging her skin. He takes his time, kissing her skin regularly.
