CHAPTER TWENTY

"Shit." I cursed, as I tried to move my poor body to the edge of the bed so that I could go to the bathroom.

I had just woken up to find all three of my mates missing and my poor bladder was screaming at me to be emptied. My body did not want to cooperate with me at all. Every muscle was screaming and I was definitely sore. That's exactly what I had wanted though and it had the desired effect as memories of last night flooded my brain.

"No, no, Sophie! Focus! Get to the bathroom." I mumbled to myself, kicking my legs over the side of the bed.

It was a struggle and it took several attempts to even be able to stand without my legs giving out but eventually I made it into the bathroom. Okay, I may have crawled there but I didn't really have a choice.

I turned on the hot water for the bathtub and let it fill up while I emptied my bladder and brushed my teeth.

I let out a laugh when I caught sight of myself in the mirror. My curly white was was a mess, tangled and frizzy from my nighttime activities with my mates. I had several bruises on my hips, thighs and neck where my mates had nipped, sucked and perhaps grabbed a little too roughly.

Normally seeing my body in the mirror would have a negative effect on me but not this time. This time I felt beautiful. I felt beautiful because my mates had shown me exactly how they felt about my body and based on the tenderness between my legs and their clear attempts at marking me somehow, they certainly loved how I look.

Once the tub was nearly full, I turned the water off and added some lavender scented Epsom salts. If I wanted any hope of being able to walk today, I needed to relax my body so the salts and hot water would certainly help. Tylenol would probably be a good idea as well. The hot water helped my sore body immensely, instantly loosening up my muscles.

"Ugh this is almost better than sex." I groaned, letting my hands float over the steaming bath water.

I heard a dark chuckle behind me and I looked back to see Marcus standing there, "I certainly hope it isn't, Tesoro."

"Hmm," I hummed cheekily, "I don't know. Maybe I need a repeat performance just to make sure."

He growled, "Careful, Love, your body needs to recover after last night. After your body has adjusted I'd be happy to remind you."

"You're right," I pouted, "I feel amazing though and I got my wish." I added with a cheeky grin.

Marcus moved to sit beside the tub and took one of my hands in his, lacing our fingers together. I let out a soft contented hum and closed my eyes.

"Where is everyone?" I asked, not bothering to open my eyes as I felt him running his free hand through my hair, careful removing the knots.

"Aro and Caius took a few of the guards to another training session with the Olympic Coven. Their fighting abilities are sorely lacking.,"He answered, pressing a kiss to my damp hairline, "Jane and Alec are here with us along with a group of the lower guard just in case."

I snorted and gave him a grin, "Aro needed to control the training and Caius couldn't pass up a chance to beat the crud out of everyone huh?"

"You know them well, My Love." He chuckled and stood up to lean against the vanity, "What did you want to do today? I'm going to assume you aren't up for anything that requires too much moving or physical activity?"

"Mm." I mumbled, "How about not moving at all? I could use a good movie marathon and some snacks."

He raised a brow and gave me a knowing smile, " I'm sure the twins would love to spend some time with you as well. What genre were you wanting? I can have someone run out to get a few films."
