Rye and I finished up with our workout, and were headed back to our wing when Maddox called. Rye answered the phone.
"We were just going to head to shower and then up to see you."
I heard Maddox tell him not to worry about it and that something had come up and we could take the rest of the day off.
"Are you sure?"
I heard Ryer hum before he said ok and hung up the phone.
"What's going on with Maddox?"
"No clue, but he gave us the day off and we can handle what he wanted us to do another day."
"I hope everything is alright."
"He sounded fine."
"Ok."
Ryer unlocked the door to our wing and opened it for me. He flicked the lock closed after he shut the door. I raised my eyebrow at that, but he didn't seem to catch my look.
"I need a shower." He groaned.
"You smell fine to me." I muttered, stepping closer to him and taking a deep breath of his natural smell.
"Sasha." Ryer said, frowning.
"Just trying to help, and maybe have a bath."
"Are you trying to hint at something?"
"Who knows? Maybe I just care about your well being and think a bath would be good for you."
"Now I know your ass is up to something, Sasha Dean."
I wrinkled my nose at the use of my full name. He saw and chuckled, heading towards the bedroom.
"I'll take a bath. But you best fill me in on why."
Once he was in the bathroom, I smiled to myself. Once I knew he was in the tub and relaxed, then I was going to tell him, but also show him, what I was in the mood for. I wanted to touch him.
I peeled my sweaty clothing off when I got into the bedroom and waited for the sound of him shutting the water off and getting in. He didn't take nearly as long as I thought he was going to.
"Sasha, the bath was a great fucking idea. God, the warm water feels nice."
I opened the bathroom door and stepped inside. The mirror on the wall would have told Ryer I was sneaking up behind him, but he had his eyes shut. He had to know I was here though, because he didn't jump when I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and slide them down his chest.
"So, This is why you wanted me to have a bath?"
"Yes. We had a deal, and I want to savor having my way with you."
"We did. I'm surprised you're cashing in on it so soon."
"I wanted to touch you and couldn't think of a better time."
"Get in the tub with me?"
"I would love to, in a few minutes."
I snaked my hands back up his chest and rubbed his shoulders with the pad of my thumbs. He let out a soft sigh as he further relaxed into my hands.
"Be careful Sasha, I might get used to this."
"That's alright. I wouldn't mind."
He was quiet again. But only for a few minutes. He broke the silence with those three words again.
"I love you, Sasha."
I hummed, not sure what to say back. I didn't want to ruin this for us. But I had to say something.
