Imogen.

After a long day covered in food, tears, and baby vomit, my kids are all asleep. I decided to draw a bath and relax. Having 3 kids has been a challenge, having to juggle work and my other projects while putting them first.

Max was supposed to be home hours ago, I looked at my phone noticing the time. Taking my glass of wine in my hand I took a sip before taking a breath. I closed my eyes as soft r&b played low on the speaker.

The bathroom door opened, footsteps drew closer. I splashed the water on myself, not opening my eyes.

"Wherever you been?" I lowly whispered

"I'm sorry I'm late chérie" He spoke

"I've been calling you for hours" I looked at him

"I can explain. Todays been very interesting" He held his hands in his pockets

"Mhm" I stood from my bath, taking my bun down to let my hair fall

Walking over to the mirror, I grabbed my robe, tying it around my body. He trailed over to me, holding my shoulders as he stood behind me.

"I'm sorry" he kissed my neck

I decided to grovel a bit, make him beg for it.

"Mhm"  I rubbed my body with my oils

"I got you something" He said

I turned to face him, he pulled a blue box out of his pocket. He handed it to me, I looked to him and furrowed my brows before opening it. It was a charm bracelet full of charms of my favorite things.

"Happy anniversary" He said

I furrowed my brows, "Its not our anniversary"

"It's the anniversary of the day I made you mine Imogen" He smiled

I smiled, looking back at the beautiful bracelet. My mouth gaped as I noticed an old vintage charm that's very rare and impossible to find. I looked back at Maxime, as he held his hands in his pockets.

"I've been working on this for a while. Every charm means something to you, hunting them down was a task but I wanted it to be perfect for my wife. I got the last charm tonight, that's why I was late" he took the bracelet and clasped it around my wrist

I stood on my tippy toes and kissed him, "You always find a way to make me fall for you all over again"

"But if you're late again and don't call, you'll regret it" I kissed his cheek

"Let me make it up to you" He licked his lips

He looked at me a for a beat, sending heat through my body. His finger connected to the belt of my robe, pulling it to let the robe fall. My breath hitched as his hand grazed my skin. His fingers trailed up to my chin, pulling it closer to him.

Inches away from his lips, he kissed mine softly. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him in for a deep kiss. The kiss grew faster, sloppy and impatient. I took his jacket off and let it fall, not breaking the kiss.
