Lucien's P.O.V.

While Bella is bathing, I get my laundry, put on some clean clothes, leave the ones Chris loaned me folded on the washer, and bring my stuff out to my motorcycle. I see Garrett feeding the sheep, and I thank him for his hospitality. "Bella is taking a bath and I should be getting home. I appreciate you letting me stay here so I didn't have to drive home in the storm."

Garrett smiles at me. "Glad to have you. Come back anytime."

"I will, thank you, sir."

I find Chris to say goodbye, then head back into the house assuming Bella is out of the tub. She is not, I can hear her humming and water splashing. I pull clean clothes out of her dresser and closet, nothing too sexy since I won't be around to see her in them. Then I head back to the bathroom and knock on the door, announcing myself.

"Come in!" she says happily.

I lay her clothes on the sink and kneel next to the tub. "I have to go. I need to speak to my father, so I'm going to be gone a few days."

"Gone? Why? Where is your Dad?" she asks, her beautiful eyes searching my face.

"Oh, uhh, he's been summoned...to Hell...and I need to meet him there."

She looks dumbstruck. "You go back and forth from Hell?"

I smile at her and nod my head. "Mmm, all the time. We try to spend most of our time here, but demons are quite short sighted and cannot be trusted to run the Underworld without guidance. We have to go back from time to time, and I decided I'm going to start helping him out more. I've been pretty selfish these past few centuries." She runs a wet hand over my cheek and she stops when her thumb slides over my mouth, tracing my lips. After I kiss it I tell her, "Time runs a little differently there, a little slower, so I'll be back in a few days."

"Oh, okay, well...be careful," she tells me, kissing me softly. Before I get a chance to pull away, she puts a wet hand behind my head to hold our mouths together. I groan softly and deepen the kiss, pulling her lower lip between mine, then dueling my tongue with hers. My hand finds her breast so I start tweaking her nipple, and I feel my dick harden when her nipple contracts.

"I need to leave before I get into the tub with you," I whisper against her mouth. "Your father told me I was welcome here anytime, but he may not feel that way if he finds me pounding into you while you're bent over the tub."

I hear her giggle and she releases her hand from behind my head. "I'm not sure I could handle that right now anyway, so it's probably a good thing you're going to be gone a few days...gives me time to recover." She places a chaste kiss on my lips. "I'm going to miss you though."

I smile at her endearing acknowledgment. "Thanks, I'm going to miss you too. I'll let you know when I'm back."

She nods and then remembers something. "You know what? I don't have your phone number. Would you grab my phone and put your number in it?"

"Of course," I tell her, standing up and grabbing her phone. I add my number, then text myself with her phone so I have hers. I'm about to leave but think better of it and kneel down by the tub again.

"Think of me," I murmur, kissing her tenderly, and then move to suckle her nipples that sit just above the water line. She moans softly, threading her fingers through my hair and I know I need to leave before there are consequences for me still being in the bathroom with her while she bathes. I give her breasts a final kiss and stand up. "You see the power you hold over me?" I ask her, pointing to the prominent bulge in my pants. I adjust myself while she smiles at me, and then I stride to the door. "Be prepared for me to ravish you relentlessly when I get back," I tell her with a wink, and leave to meet my father in Hell.
