"The water is gonna get cold Love." Raven heard rowan call for her from the bathroom.
She was in their bedroom after just taking a shower, her hair tied up makeup wiped off and a cotton bathroom gown wrapped around her body, the material feeling foreign to her body.
"Coming!" She shouted back as she slipped out of her bathroom slippers and decided they were better off not wet.
He found rowan kneeling beside the bathtub, his hair held up loosely, his weird long-sleeve faded black shirt folded exposing his forearms and his eyebrows scrunched up as he took the water's temperature.
"Hi." Raven greeted feeling weirdly shy.
"H...Hi." Rowan replied after his face got that mildly confused look he always got when something he does not expect to happen happens to make Raven giggle at his expression.
"Ready?" Rowan asked as he got up from the floor and walked up to Raven and gently pulled her to him.
"Take me!" Raven replied as she spread her hands outwards, looked up, and closed her eyes.
"So dramatic," Rowan mumbled with a chuckle.
After undoing the loose knot that held the bathrobe together, Rowan did not miss how Raven's arms made a move to cover herself but stopped immediately.
"You good?" Rowan asked, looking into Raven's eyes.
"Uh...Yeah..." Raven replied with a shake in her voice.
"The minute you feel uncomfortable Love," Rowan started as he held her face by her chin, "Stop me...Okay." He urged.
"Okay," Raven whispered, the early nervousness having faded away.
"Good," Rowan whispered back as his hands slid onto her shoulder, under the bathroom making it fall down onto the floor with a light thump. With his gaze still locked with Raven's, he walked backward slowly and guided her into the tub where she slid in with a satisfied sigh.
"You like?" Rowan asked his wife who had her eyes closed and her head tilted back.
"Very much." She confessed with a smile on her face which unknowingly Rowan mimicked.
"Good," Rowan replied as he sat on the tub's side, taking her left leg out of the water he started to gently massage it. Gently rubbing circles on her calf with his thumbs and slowly making his way to her foot, the sighs and groans of approval from Raven encouraged his endeavor. He especially loved how she would let out a breathy moan when he applied pressure at the center of her sole. A few minutes passed and Rowan decided that he was done with the left leg.
"The other one." He whispered to Raven who brought out her foam-covered right leg from the water while dunking the other one.
More minutes of comfortable silence passed, punctuated with the water sloshing and Raven's soft sighs.
"I feel like I am being prepared for a sacrifice." Raven joked earning a snort from Rowan.
"Might as well be," Rowan replied making Raven partially open her eyes.
"Oh?" Raven started as she brought her exposed leg back into the water, sat back, and leaned forward towards Rowan who responded by leaning towards her, "And who will I be sacrificed to?" she asked slyly.
"Me... if I play my cards right," Rowan replied.
Raven leaned back and squinted her eyes suspiciously at her husband,
"Is it part of the surprise?" She asked.
"Hmmm? Is it?" Rowan hummed and asked rhetorically making raven splash water at him and making him jump up in an effort to avoid the water.
"Come to the bedroom when you are done Love, then I will answer all your questions," Rowan replied to raven's earlier question.
"Okay."Raven agreed as she looked up at her husband with her lips puckered expecting a kiss.
Rowan knelt down with a chuckle and gave her a chaste kiss before walking out of the bathroom.
