The Revenant Queen 2 (wlw)

Chapter Thirty- Three

The steady flow of water that filled the tub greeted Adira as she passed by the bathroom on her way down the hall. The woman would have gone along her business but the sound of what lay beyond incited her to stop, and curious eyes remained dormant.

Excited by the glimpses of the brunette who stripped from her clothes, the queen was compelled to stand still and waves of shock, incited by enthusiasm nipped beneath her skin after she stood at the jarred door.

She inhaled loudly when she saw everything.

It didn't surprise her though, that at near midnight Colette would be in there about to take a bath. She understood the girl's need and her current love for the water and the wild hours she would disappear to indulge didn't bother her. The same way her body craved the heat, was just the same for her love, so it wasn't hard for her to comprehend her girl's need.

But as she pushed the door open even further to gain better sight, she caught a glimpse of the nakedness as intended and her heart swooned.

Her eyes ran up and down Colette's exposed back; slender and pale, Adira's eyes caught on the girl's bottom as she lifted her legs into the tub. The way the water was interrupted by her presence and then inundated by soft ripples as she climbed in was an aesthetically pleasing sight. The way her nakedness eventually laid beneath the ripples, her bare chest exposed and consumed by the clear water satisfied the secular needs of the woman.

It was bewitching, the effect the brunette had on her because hours prior, they had got done expressing their fascination of the other only for the woman to be hit once more with a wave of the desire of similar calibre.

Unaware that the queen observed her, Colette's skin shone that pale light and the sight of the water tattoos and accursed words made her look on in awe. She'd never get used to that the girl thought touching them.

Colette smiled to herself. Her siblings would be so amazed if they knew, her mother would probably be just as curious, not so much her father as he would be consumed by the enmity of her being different but she knew deep down he too would be just as fascinated but too prideful to say.

Unannounced to the girl who was about to lay her head back, allowing the soft tingles in her skin to put her in a safe trance, the queen entered the room.

"Can I join?" Adira questioned catching Colette off guard.

"Jesus!" The girl clenched her chest.

She unintentionally caused the water to splash and spill over the edge of the bathtub.

Adira chuckled.

"I thought you were asleep. Did the noise wake you up?" Colette asked the woman.

Concern over having disturbed the queen's peace left her gaze roaming the woman's face to find any hint of annoyance. All she found was lust, admiration and they all caused her body to crave what she knew was imminent.

In turn, Adira studied the girl as she slowly slipped out of her t-shirt and slacks. Her amber eyes never left Colette's face and she descried the way that emerald gaze travelled down her body until it remained quiescent.

"No, the noise did not wake me up,"

The queen continued to strip down to the nude and at the sight of her body, Colette beamed.

It's not like she'd never seen her lover's naked body before, no, she'd seen it numerous times over the last couple of months but she never grew used to it. To seeing that tall, buff woman whose skin was sun and freckle kissed, whose entire existence was both an enigma and profound. She'd never get accustomed to the way the queen's body would contort and bend and move so fluidly as if she was the one who was bound to the Avalon.
