"So, what did you think?" I ask Tessa as she finishes the food on her plate.
"It was delicious, just like last time! Thank you for making it."
"You're welcome. So, what did you want to do for the rest of the evening?"
"Actually, I was going to go take a bubble bath. I'm sore after today, so I thought it might help."
"Oh, okay. Maybe I'll just read a little from my book you bought me." I smile.
"Okay, Hardin, but could you help me to the bathroom?"
"Oh, sure." I help Tessa walk down the hall to the bathroom and then leave to go read on the couch.
A few minutes later, I hear Tessa call for me. "Hardin, could you please come in here?"
I rush down the hall to the bathroom and slowly open the door. I'm greeted by dim lights, candles and soft music playing. I'm so distracted by the atmosphere that I almost don't notice Tessa. Almost. "Fuck," I say as my jaw drops. Tessa is standing in front of a tub full of bubbles completely naked.
"Don't just stand there, help me get in?" she asks.
I walk over to her, with my jaw still on the floor, and try to help her in. She presses her naked body against me as she tries to keep the weight off her swollen ankle and step into the tub with her other foot. "Fuck."
"You already said that," she giggles.
"You don't think I know what you're trying to do, woman?"
"No, what am I trying to do?" She plays innocent.
"Get me hard."
"Now, why would I want to do that?"
"Don't mess with me. You are so fucking sexy right now."
"Oh, you mean you don't want those girls from the hiking trail?" she says smugly.
"Never," I say as I watch her sit down in the tub.
"Good, maybe I'll let you join me then."
"You don't have to ask me twice!" I say as I start to strip off all my clothes. I sit down behind Tessa in the massive tub that could easily fit two more people.
"If someone told me I'd be sharing a romantic, candle lit bubble bath with Hardin Scott, I never would have believed them!"
"Me neither, but here we are," I say as I move her hair off her shoulders and start massaging them.
"Mmm, that feels so good, Hardin."
"Does it, baby? What if I do this?" I continue to massage her shoulders, but I begin to nibble on her neck.
"That tickles!" she giggles.
"What about this?" I start to nibble on her earlobe and she giggles again.
Tessa turns around to face me and gently presses her forehead to mine as she rubs her thumb along my chin. "I love you."
"I love you, so much, Tess," I say as I take a moment to stare into her amazing blue-grey eyes before giving her a gentle, yet passionate kiss. Tessa turns back around and I start to playfully run my fingertips up and down her arms. "I'm having such a great time here, with you, Tess. I love that we are in our own little world here, away from all the bullshit we've had to deal with. I wish it could be like this forever."
"So do I."
Tessa and I sit in silence, just enjoying each other's company for a few more minutes before she breaks the silence. "We better get out now, or else we're going to turn into prunes!"
"I guess you're right," I chuckle. "That was most definitely the best bubble bath I've ever had."
"You mean the only?"
"That too, but still the best!"
I help Tessa out of the tub and try to keep my hands to myself. She wraps a towel around herself and I can't help but smile.
"What?" she asks me, with a slight smile of her own.
"I'm just remembering the first time I saw you in a towel." I smirk as I get dressed.
"Oh, yeah. That was an interesting day." She blushes.
"Yeah, back then you were only a dream to me. I never would have predicted someday you would be only mine."
"Well, I am!" She smiles brightly before adding, "Now, leave while I change."
"What?! Why?" I pout.
"I don't want to get you all worked up," she giggles.
"Yeah, you're a little too late on that, Theresa."
"Out!"
I make an unsuccessful attempt to snatch the towel from her body before she throws me out, laughing as she slams the door in my face. I really fucking love that woman.
