putty in your hands

Chapter XXIV

Matt's POV

I adjust water temperature and let it fill the bathtub.
"Come.", I offer her my hand and she accepts it, stepping closer to me. I unbutton the shirt she's wearing - my shirt. It looks oversized on her, barely covering her sexy, roundly, outcurved arse. She observes me as I'm "concentrating" on the task, her doe eyes wandering over my face. I smile.
"What?", she asks.
I shrug. "Nothing. I'm just glad we're here." I push the hem over her shoulders, taking the shirt off.
"In the bathroom?", she's baffled.
"Tch.", I click my tongue. She takes a hair clip from the counter and upsweeps her hair.
"I mean here as in present tense, together, as a couple.", I explain while generously pouring bath oil in the tub.
Eleanor approaches me and hugs me from behind. "Good. Because I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon.", she smooches my shoulder blade and tugs on my t-shirt. "Off."
I quickly get rid of all my clothes while she gets in the tub. She moves to the centre, waiting for me to join her.
I catch her staring at me. "You're staring."
She presses her lips together. "I'm not."
I chuckle. "I can feel the intensity of it." I switch my glance to her as I step in the tub. "Like laser eyes."
"I - what? I don't have laser eyes.", she mutinies.
"Like hell not.. always eyeing me up... giving me thirsty looks.." I joke as I sit opposite her.
She grips my biceps and moves closer to me as her mouth fall agape in fake shock.
She splashes my face. "You love it, really."
She leans in and slowly presses her lips to mine in a tender, sweet kiss.
I welcome it as my hands instinctively latch to her face, pulling her closer. She smiles against my lips.
"Can we talk now?" I ask as I nuzzle our noses together, breathing in orange flavored scent of bath oil.
She just nods.
"Great." I take sponge and start washing her neck, slowly moving it down in circular motion. She follows my lead and washes my chest. "Well.. hm... where do I begin...", she says rhetorically and gently blows to move her outgrown curtain bangs away from her face.
I tug them behind her ear and smile, thinking how totally in love I am with her.
"This is a small town so I always knew him by sight.", she begins, "but I really met him like 5 years ago, through Alex, because him and Jessica - Steven's sister, are really good friends. We started dating a few months after that. A year after we became a couple we started living together, and it all somehow unfolded pretty fast, after some time he started talking about marriage and I was head over hills for him, not to mention I was also stupidly romantic back then.. so I accepted when he proposed.", she says the last few words hesitatingly as she looks up at me.
I grip her leg and put it on my lap, then start rubbing it with a sponge. 
"You were engaged?" I raise my brow.
She sneers. "Yeah, what a joke, right?"
"Then what happened?", I switch the leg.
She absently trails my torso with a sponge. "Then the problems started. He always had a way to avoid most of our plans, there was always something more important. He also picked up a second job, even if there wasn't really need for that, but later I figured out it was one of his complexes - my salary was bigger than his."
"Turn around." I brush her nose with a sponge playfully, leaving foam across it.
She obeys with a grin on her face and sits between my legs. I start washing her back. "That was just the beginning of it all, he almost never had time for us, I barely saw him even though we lived together. We were like two strangers. He met new people, started hiking, working out like crazy, swimming, he subordinated his whole life to it. At least it seemed like that to me. I was bursting at the seems by his behavior, especially when he started acting unsure about proposal, and us."
"Did he cheat on you?", I interrupt her.
"Then I thought about it many times, but I never found evidence for it. Now when I think about it, I don't know. Even Sarah couldn't catch him red handed."
We both laugh.
"Wow, he's good.", I joke.
"He also waited for too long to tell me that he's not sure he ever wants to have kids.."
"You want them, right?", I interrupt, again.
"Yeah, I mean I hope I'll be a mother one day. So his admission really threw me off."
She lets out a sight before continuing.
"Back then I spent countless nights pondering about that, I really loved him, it was unbelievable to me where our relationship was going. But finally I've realized I had to finish it. I couldn't sacrifice myself for someone who wouldn't find time for me in his busy schedule. I had to cut him out of my life. So I did.", she runs her fingers through foam, playing with it.
"Good for you." I throw my arms around her and kiss her cheek before resting my chin on her shoulder. She smiles and rests her head against mine.
"I was miserable for a first few months after I broke up with him while he continued with his life like we never happened. But then after a while he started chasing me again and it was too late."
"A true tragedy." I interrupt jokingly.
"Too, too late.", she adds.
"Too late because you're mine now." I attack her neck with kisses, making her laugh and fidget around, splashing water everywhere.
"You're tickling me! Matt, stop it!", she shouts through a laughter and I hug her even tighter.
"Maybe I'll sound awful to you, but I'm glad you two didn't work out."
"Yeah, I can feel that.", she mocks me as she pushes her ass into my crotch, against my hardening bulge.
"You don't realize what it does to me when you press your ass against me.", I coo against her ear as my hand travels between her legs.
She inhales sharply. "Story about my ex turned you on?", she asks, still mocking me as she curves her body into my touch like a snake.
I snicker. "The thought that you're here, in my arms, turns me on. I should thank him."
I guide a finger to stroke her clit, making her throw her head back on my shoulder.
"Yes...", she moans with her lips parted.
"Come here." I murmur, pulling her onto my lap. She turns around, bracing against my chest for balance as I spread her folded legs either side of my hips.
She squirms lightly as my cock sunk in her creamy pussy, making me huff.
I leave a kiss on each of her breasts. "I wanna make you feel so good that you forget everything he did to you, even for a little bit."
She caresses my cheek, trailing her fingers down to smooth them across my lips.
"I love you.", she lifts up my chin and tilts my head, pressing her mouth to mine as she starts moving her hips, disturbing the water.
I grunt in her mouth, my hands feverishly grasp her ass, kneading it.
She hugs me tightly, snaking her hands in my hair, her wet breasts pressed against me.
"Such a good girl, bouncing on my cock like that.", I mouth across her cheek to her ear, nibbling playfully at her lobe and making her shiver.
"Ohh daddy..", she moans as she melts for me. Her pussy fluttering and sucking me deeper.
"Hm? You like daddy's cock?", I smirk and slap her ass, pushing her further on my cock with spare hand.
"I love i-it!", she whines. "Fuckk you're so big.", she squeals out as I thrust my hips upwards, bottoming out.
I grab hold of her waist, slowing her rhythm to a halt, as I take control. She buries her face in the crook of my neck as soft yelps and mewls escape her lips with every thrust of my hips. Each sound pulls a cord that draws my cock to mast.
"Shit baby, you're going to cum?", I ask when I feel her cunt tighten around me, making me growl. "Cum for me."
"Matt please!", she dug her nails in my back "more!"
I push inside of her harder as my hand travels down to rub her clit.
"Come on baby, let me feel that pussy milking me." I turn her head to me and kiss her urgently, still fucking her, our movements making water splash out of the tub.
She moans desperately into the kiss and I feel her lips, tongue, breasts, pussy.. every part of her melting completely into me as she comes undone, her walls squeezing my cock, bringing me to a shattering end.
Eleanor shivers as her nose nudges softly against mine, withdrawing slightly from me, as she kept going for a few more bounces, looking down upon my face through a bleary haze of her own pleasure.
I tuck her hair behind her ears, cupping her face.
"Fuck, I love being inside of you." I admit before leaving small kisses all over her face while she giggles like a little girl.
"Hey!", she pushes my face away "let me wash your back before water becomes completely cold. I don't want you to get sick now when I need help packing."
"Packing?" I ask amusedly.
"Mhm.. Some guy asked me to move in with him.", she rolls her eyes playfully.
"What a bummer." I comment cheerfully.
"Yeah, but I decided to risk it.", she shrugs.
I laugh "You'll risk it?" I start tickling her.
She screams in excitement "Matt! Stop it!", she tries to move away "you're spilling water everywhere!"
I hand her a sponge. "Finish me, you foolish girl." I say crossly, making her burst out laughing.
"Will you be serious, miss?" I criticize her as I turn around. "I don't want to catch cold, I have to pack my girlfriend. She's moving in with me and I'm very happy. Don't ruin it."
She starts rubbing my back, but I can still hear her suppressed laugh.
"Faster!" I exclaim, making her jolt.
"Matthew! Seriously, stop it!", she nudges me.
I laugh as I toy with the idea of proposing to her right-fucking-now. The temptation is resisted. Patience is a virtue.
