In The End

Broken Pieces

The steam rose around me as I sunk back into the bathtub. Axel had gone out as intended so I had the whole place to myself and I was determined to make the most of my alone time. My skin stung slightly from the contrasting hot water and cool air as I reached over and grabbed my glass of wine from the shelf next to me. The chill of the pale blush liquid sliding down my throat took me by surprise but I continued to take several long sips as the silence enveloped me and I allowed my eyes to close and enjoy the peace whilst resting my head back on the spongy bath cushion. My leg softly brushed against the other causing a secondary sting of pain on my skin from the hot water, but instead of flinching I embraced the tingles and bobbed my knee creating several more stings until I became accustom to the sensation and was unable to feel it anymore. Several peaceful moments passed as I remained in my blissful state, and it was then I felt it. My body began to respond shifting gently as his hand ran tenderly up the inside of my leg, the slowed pace caused those earlier tingles to return as it teased and climbed further up the inside of my thigh. I didn't flinch as the heat began to pool deep in my intimate area, instead I felt my body further relax and open up and I longingly purred whilst fingers gently teased me, not fully entering, but suggestively caressing me, creating an almost painful need for them to go that one step further. I felt my nipples harden as the water gently slapped across them causing a multitude of sensations as they painfully peaked above the waterline. My breathing deepened to the point where my chest could have caved in from my heavy exhale. Even my lips began to tingle and throb as heavy breath hovered over them. I allowed them to part slightly, ready to meet their match. And then I could smell it, that dark and sensual earthy scent mixed in with Tabacco and Vanilla. My mind swirled from the heat, touch and smell, a familiarity swept over me, I knew that smell, it was familiar... it was strangely comforting...it was Axel.
I felt my whole body convulse and drag me further down, there was a loud clatter, I coughed, spluttered and gasped for breath. When the disorientation past and my breathing settled I realised I was still alone in the bathtub. I pulled my knees up and hung my arms over the edge in a bid to cool and calm myself. I must have nodded off and slipped under or something, my hair was wet through and judging from my frequent need to cough, I must have swallowed some of the water. I was far too shaken to get straight out so I clung to the side of the tub looking at the broken glass and spilled wine all over the floor. I felt my eyebrows twitch as my mind caught up and reminded me I must have been having quite the dream until I realised it was Axel I was dreaming of.
I knocked the button with my toe to open the plug and allow the hot water to empty out and rested my cheek on the cool rim of the bath whilst I concentrated on my breathing instead of my dream. Eventually the water had emptied and I couldn't bare the chattering of my teeth from the cold air any longer. With a heavy breath I managed to coordinate myself safely to my feet and eyed the broken glass so I could carefully step out without needing to visit a hospital. After my valiant ninja warrior attempts to dodge the broken glass and not pass out from the adrenaline, I grabbed one of the fluffy white bathrobes and secured it around myself, the soft material was comforting against my skin and I instantly felt myself begin to warm. I looked back at the mess, tiny shards of glass had scattered all over the glossy marble floor and the smell of the wine clung to the damp air. I knew I should call reception and have them get someone to deal with this properly, but I didn't want to seem like a drunken asshole needing someone clean up my mess.
I drifted out to the living area in search of some kind of housekeeping tool, but was quickly reminded that the people who would normally be staying here would not be the kind of people to be doing their own housekeeping whilst staying here, so I headed back to the bathroom and accessed the situation once more.

OK, so throw some towels over the floor that will soak up the liquid and them you can scoop up the glass with the towel after. - I repeated my instructions out loud as I coached myself to carry out each step.
