My Future Stepbrother

Chapter 86

I scrub my teeth and soak my hand as my bath runs. It looked worse than it was and the slight throbbing left behind was a welcome reminder of what just happened downstairs.

I never thought I’d be the kind of girl into that stuff but seriously, sign my ass up to the bondage club, because it was fucking amazing to give him all that control.

My bath smells so good as I push myself in. I needed to relax every muscle in my body so I made it as hot as I could possibly bare. As the water overtakes me I let myself float under it for a moment then return to the surface, letting out a moan as all the tension left me.

“Enjoying yourself?”

I close my eyes and lay my head back. I don’t know when he got here and I don’t care, after what he did earlier he is free to watch me whenever he wants.

“Perving on me again? Isn’t that what got us into that mess in the first place? You should really learn to keep your eyes to yourself.”

He chuckles and I feel a presence step between my legs. I open my eyes just in time to see him lowering himself into the other side of my bath.

The water rises rapidly and almost spills over onto the floor. My once spacious ocean now filled with his towering form.

“I never really got the whole bath thing but this is actually nice.”

I smile at his little contented face as he closes his eyes and settles into the bubbles.

We lay there in comfortable silence, the room subtly lit by my abundance of candles and filled with my favourite citrus scent.

After a while I feel his hand take mine under the water and pull me across the bath into his arms. My back against his chest as I sit between his legs, I rest my head against his shoulder as he softly kisses my cheek.

This is what I loved most about him. How he could be so fiercely protective and animalistic in his behaviour but also incredibly soft and hopelessly romantic the next moment. It was the best of both worlds, he was everything I wanted tied up in a sexy little bow.

The bath no longer burnt at my skin but Jayce’s body against me still kept me hot anyway.

“I actually need to wash my hair if you can find it in yourself to let me go for a few minutes.”

The arms he had wrapped around my body tightened at the mere notion of my skin leaving his.

“Let me do it.”

He took the cup I had waiting on the side and slowly poured water down onto my hair. I could feel as it trickled down my neck and the feeling caused a tingle to run straight down my spine.

The coconut shampoo he’d chose to use had a beautiful strong scent that combined perfectly with the citrus one that emanated from the bath. The combination of fruity fragrances gave me the sense I was on a tropical island somewhere basking in the calm blue sea with a cocktail in hand.

His fingers began to massage my scalp and I became putty in his hands. Having someone play with my hair always made me want to fall asleep but I wouldn’t want to miss a moment of this.

As the tips of his fingers moved to comb through the length of my hair the feeling of him against me felt so much more sensual, his movements affectionate.

He washed away that and did the same with my conditioner. By the time he was finished I literally wanted to crawl inside him and take a nap.

We had never done anything like this. We’d had sex that was less intimate than this moment.

I turned so I sat in his lap with my legs hung over his thigh and laid down with my ear sat over his heart. I don’t want to leave here, I want to freeze time in this moment and relive it for eternity.

His arms encircled me and held me tight to his body. I completely forgot we were naked, there was nothing sexual about the way our bodies touched.

“I didn’t know it was possible to love someone as much as I love you. I’m trying to convince myself I will never love you more than I do right in this moment but I’ve been trying to do that since the moment I fell. Everyday I find myself fail, every time I wake up and somehow find I love you more. It will be the same tomorrow, and every day after that.”

His chest pauses it’s rhythmic pattern as he lets the words sink in. I meant every one. He lifts my face under my chin and tilts it to face him.

“Lee. I look at you and I can see the rest of my life reflected in your eyes. I grew up completely broken, told I was never going to be worthy of someone like you loving me. Always feeling like pieces of me were missing, but I see now they weren’t, they were just left with you until we found each other. You’re it, you are my everything and I love you more than I could ever put into words.”

His lips come to mine and a single tear rolls down my cheek.

Perfect. The bath, the words, the man. All of it.. Perfect.

***************

We climb into my bed instead of his for once. I changed my sheets this morning and as I braid my hair into two long plaits I can’t wait to just fall asleep with him? Is there a better feeling than getting out of the bath and climbing into freshly laundered bedding? No.. unless you get to have Jayce Thompson in there too.

I’m not even sure what he put on the TV, I’m too exhausted and immediately close my eyes as he cuddles me into him.

“Are you nervous about the game tomorrow? How many scouts are going to be there?”

I brushes a stray piece of hair I’ve missed out of my plaits behind my ear. “A bit. There’s going to be three, one of them is the coach from my dream school, he’s travelling six hours just to see me so I want to make an impression.”

Six hours. I didn’t realise Jayce wanted to go to college so far away. The one I wanted was only an hour from here.

“It’s not the thing I’m most excited about tomorrow though..” I lift my head to look at him slightly confused as to his meaning.

“What are you most excited about?”

He shines a giant smile down at me. “Well princess, tomorrow after the game..

I’m taking you on a date.”
