Fighting Spirit [a Roman Reigns story]

16 Together

Rose POV

"Okay, here we are. Not exactly home sweet home. But close enough, if you ask me." said Roman as he opened the door to the guest house for me.

"Thanks. Believe me, anything is better than this room at the clinic. And it reminds me of your proposal. So it's a great place for me." I said as I took his hand in mine and pulled him to me.

"That's true. For me too. What do you say I order us something nice to eat and we watch a movie?" suggested Roman as he gently rubbed my back and placed a kiss on my forehead.

"Sounds good to me. But first I need a shower. And you promised to help me with that, Mr. Reigns. First though, could you turn up the heater a little? It's pretty chilly in here," I replied.

"Anything you want, baby." he then said.

I made my way to the bathroom and tried to undress. But I only partially succeeded, because I couldn't lift my arms high enough yet.

"Let me help you." said Roman quietly as he appeared behind me.

Carefully he started to take off my shirt. With his help, I managed to raise my arms enough for him to get it off. All the while, my eyes did not leave his face. Once again I admired his perfect face. How his eyes glowed and how chiseled his features were.

"Could you maybe wash my hair?" I wanted to know as he turned on the water in the shower and then removed his clothes.

"I can try, but only if you can assure me that it's okay and that it won't hurt." he replied a little worried as we stepped together under the pleasantly warm water.

"It's okay. The nurse washed my hair too. And I'm supposed to do it, actually, to keep the area clean. You just have to be a little careful with the scar. Everything's fine, Ro." I explained to him.

And that was exactly what he did. Very gently his big hands massaged their way through my hair. It was such a pleasant feeling to sense his touch. Maybe I could convince him to do that more often for me.

"Mmmh... you're doing great. It feels so amazing." I praised him.

"I love hearing that, baby." he said, and then slowly turned me around to face him so he could rinse my hair thoroughly.

I tilted my head back slightly and closed my eyes. Sighing, I soaked up his every touch.

When he finished, I opened my eyes and looked up at him. With a smile, I put my hand on his cheek. Then I pulled his face down to me so that I could press my lips to his full ones. Roman wrapped his strong arms around me and pulled me to him until we were one.

---------------------

"Just like that, baby. Real slow. Take your time." Roman murmured against my mouth as I knelt over him and he slowly guided me up and down with his hands under my butt.

I gasped as I clung to his shoulders. We shared the air we breathed and enjoyed the delicious friction between us. I could feel it vibrating in his chest. The electricity between us hummed in the air.

"Mmmh... God... Roman..." I moaned as I rested my forehead against his.

"You feel so good.... I love you Rose." he groaned as he looked deep into my eyes and kept hoisting me.

"I love you too... so much..." I whispered.

Then I took his face in my hands and brought his mouth back to mine. I kissed him passionately. Hard and intense.

I needed that. I wanted to feel that I was still there. Because part of me still believed it was all a dream. But this moment... this was... special. Roman made me and himself feel that we were here. He showed me his love and I showed him mine. Slowly and meaningfully. Together. And  nothing was more important right now.
