Within their dreams (Reverse Harem)

Chapter12

Wow.
I was not expecting so many people to read and enjoy this. I'm so beyond thankful. I started posting this because I felt stuck on where the story could go and lost my motivation and seeing so many people enjoy my story has really helped me. Thank you so much.

Owen's POV

I sit there stewing as Ivy continues to punch the punching bag, with me correcting her stance and checking her wraps every so often to make sure she's not hurting herself. Why the fuck would he act so rough with her? A fresh wave of anger hits me and I look at those nasty bruises forming on her pale neck.

Usually, I'd love seeing her wear our marks, but this? What was he thinking?

Despite that, I can't help but get hard watching her, small beads of sweat running down her chest and hiding in between the cleavage of her sports bra, small strands of hair sticking to her face. Even all sweaty, she's ethereal. And watching her fight is definitely doing things to me.

After another punch, she looks over at me, giving me a smile that makes my breath catch in my throat. She's breathing heavily as she makes her way over to me, making her breasts jiggle with each harsh breath she draws. I have the swallow the drool gathering in my mouth at the sight.

"Can I stop now? My arms ache." I chuckle, nodding at her and walking over to undo her wraps. I intertwine our fingers and lead her back into the house, not ignoring the way she tenses as we get closer to Leo's room. But I guide her away, taking her to mine instead and letting her look around as I enter the bathroom.

I walk over to the bath and start running the water, holding my hand under the tap until it gets to the perfect temperature before looking for some bubble bath and bath salts. I even pull out some candles stashed at the back of one of the cupboards and set it all down, adding the bubble bath and bath salts to the bath.

I hear Ivy walk in as I'm turning off the taps, her little arms sliding around my waist to hug me from behind. I tense when I feel her leave a kiss on my back, turning her in my arms to bring my lips to hers. I kiss her slowly, enjoying the way she melts into me and slide my hands up her body until they find her sports bra, pulling it up and over her head. Ivy kicks off her shoes, letting me remove her leggings before sweeping her up in my arms and placing her in the bath.

Ivy moans, leaning back into the bath until only her head is above the water and I watch as her eyes flutter closed, a content smile on her lips. I take a step back and slowly peel my clothes off and nudge her forward so I can get in behind her. The warm water relaxes my muscles but the feeling of Ivy's wet body pressed up to mine is indescribable.

Every nerve in my body is tuned in to her. The way she sighs and leans her head back against my chest, the way her hair swirls under the water and wraps around us, the bubbles littering her arms and chest. She's so perfect.

I drop a kiss to her shoulder and exhale, looking up at the ceiling.

"You know, this is my first time using this bath." I confess, hearing the water slosh as she whips around to face me. I grin when I meet her shocked expression.

"You've never had a bath before?"

"Not since I was a child. Showers were always quicker."

Ivy turns to lean back against me once more. "Baths are one of the most relaxing things ever."

"I can see why."

I can practically feel the grin on her face. "You should start having them more often. They'll help relax your muscles after training."
"As long as you always join me." I kiss the back of her neck, loving the way my touch makes her breath hitch.
