Standing in your way

Chapter 26

"Do you want to take a bath?" she asks me once my breathing is back to normal, I nod and she smiles at me getting up from the bed

"I'll go prepare it for you" she enters the bathroom of the room and I hear her turn on the water in the tub.
In all of this I'm still naked lying on the bed, I would have liked to reciprocate but she absolutely didn't want to, I don't know why.
She didn't even want me to touch her.

As I'm closing my eyes ready to sleep I feel her hand gently caressing my cheek

"Hel the bath is ready" she whispers to me, I open my eyes

"Mh ok" I get out of bed and enter the bathroom, the tub is full of soap and with candles around it that make the atmosphere perfect, I smile at the sight of what she has done for me

"Do you want to bathe alone for some privacy or do you want me to stay with you?" she caresses my shoulder, I let out a laugh at the thought that she wants to give me privacy to bathe as if she hadn't seen me completely naked

"No, I want you to stay with me" I turn my head to the side to look at her, she leaves a kiss on my cheek

"Okay, go ahead" she points to me, I approach the tub and dip first one foot, then the other as well, holding onto Lydia's arm

"Mhh it's perfect" I moan at the perfection of the water temperature, the bubble bath that smells of vanilla and argan.
I throw my head back until it rests on the edge, she sits on a chair next to the tub looking at me

"Thank you" I thank her looking at her through sleepy but relaxed eyes, she smiles and places a hand on my thigh

"You deserve it, you did good" she comes closer and gives me a kiss on the forehead but I'm not happy so I grab the collar of her shirt and pull her for a kiss on the lips. She squeezes my thigh

"Temptress" I smile biting my lip

"This bath is almost better than the fucking before" I say just to get on her nerves, which of course it did

"Oh yeah? Do you want a round two to confirm or deny?" her hand slides quickly into my inner thigh cupping my pussy

"Of course not, I was teasing you" I say with a voice almost broken by the contact with my most sensitive part

"Good girl" I blush.
I stay in the tub for another good fifteen minutes washing myself, she helps me by passing her hands all over my body with a little soap, also giving me a small massage on my shoulders.

After that I went out, I put my underwear back on and for pajamas Lydia gave me one of her t-shirts, which is big on me, so perfect.
Then she decided to go to sleep in a separate room, which made me a little sad but okay.

As soon as I touch the pillow with my head I fall into a deep sleep, given the tiredness in my body

-----------------------------------------

I open my eyes to a silence, only my breathing can be heard.I sit up and grab the phone placed on the bedside table next to me, it's half past eight in the morning.

I yawn as I stretch, moving around I notice that it's not the same bed where I slept last time, it's much softer and cosier, the blankets smell exactly like her.

Oh right, this is her room, last night I didn't even notice.
I get up and raise the shutter letting the warm sunlight enter the room, I open the windows to change the air.

I start to look around noticing and capturing every detail of her room that last night, given the situation, I didn't even notice: the walls are a color similar to beige, furnished in a simple but enchanting way, in wood tones that alternate between light and dark, this room is giant.
I go to the bathroom to pee, and here too I notice how big the bathroom is, even though it is an en-suite bathroom. The tones here are also beige, a large mirror is positioned in front of the sink, almost taking up the entire wall.

I leave the room and take a look around the corridor, I recognize the room where I slept in the past and therefore I decide to knock to see if Lydia is there.
I knock on the door but no one answers, maybe she's sleeping.

I continue to look around as if to explore the gigantic house, I open a few doors and then take a look at the rooms they reveal.I get to a room and knock there too

"Come in" her voice replies, my heart skips a beat, what room is this?

I slowly pull down the handle and open the door, finding myself in a room with magnificent, giant bookcases that reach up to the ceiling. I met her gaze, she was sitting behind a glass desk

"Come here" she gestures to me, I enter the room fully and her gaze moves around my body. She smiles at the full sight of me,  just woke up and in questionable conditions.

I approach her desk, there are some chairs in front of her but I notice that she motioned for me to come to her so I walk past her.

"Do I bother you?" I ask looking over the table, some papers are scattered

"No darling" I look her in the eyes and smile, I sit on her lap, her hands stay still on my hips

"How did you sleep?" she asks me, I lean in for a quick kiss

"Very good" I leave another kiss on her lips, she squeezes my hips

"There are some croissants if you want to have breakfast, they're in the kitchen" she tells me, I get off her hips

"Did you cook them?"

"No, I got them this morning" she replies, arranging the papers she had scattered on the table

"Will you come with me to eat?" I ask her as I walk towards the door

"No thanks, I already had breakfast before going for a run" she replies looking at her watch, I do the same seeing that it's 9:45, what time did she go for a run?

"What time did you go?" I ask her perplexed

"Around 6" she looks at me smiling, my eyes widen

"Oh my god, I could never" I tell her laughing, she does the same and then I leave the room to go to the kitchen.

Upon entering I see that there is a paper bag resting on the kitchen counter, I take it and look inside: there are two croissants, one with chocolate and an empty one.I take the one with the chocolate and take a bite

"Mhh delicious" I whisper to myself, it would be even better accompanied with a coffee.I look around and see the coffee machine, I go over and turn it on, I hope Lydia doesn't get angry.

I have breakfast sitting alone, then I hear the door to her study open and footsteps approaching me

"How is it?" she strokes the back of my neck with her hand

"Really good" I nod looking at her, her gaze falls on my lips and then she laughs, I frown.
She brings her hand close to my lips and wipes away some of the remaining chocolate with her thumb

"Oh, thanks" I blush, she winks at me. We remain silent for another few minutes, while she makes herself a herbal tea

"I think I have to go" I say getting up from the chair, she turns and looks at me with a slightly sad face

"Already? Stay for lunch" she offers sipping her hot tea

"No thanks, I really have to go home" I caress my arms, it's a bit chilly in short sleeves

"All right" she tells me, I go towards her room and start gathering all my things and also making the bed

"Oh no, don't worry about that, the cleaning ladies will do it" she tells me as she passes down the hall and looks at me through the open door of the room, I look at her raising my hands.
We leave the room together and go towards the door, then I see her take her coat and keys

"Oh no, don't worry, I'll call an Uber" I stop her, she doesn't even look at me

"No objections, I'll accompany you" I open my mouth to reply but then I keep quiet, we leave the house together and get into her car.
All the time I alternate my gaze from out the window to her hand resting on my thigh

I open my phone and click on Sarah's contact

"Come to my house for lunch, you don't know how many things I have to tell you" I smile and close the phone after clicking the send button.
I undo my belt seeing that we have arrived at my apartment

"Well, thanks for everything Lydia," I tell her, tucking my hair behind my ear

"Thank you, it was a wonderful evening" she says stroking my thigh, I look at her hand and smile, knowing perfectly well where that hand was last night

"Absolutely gorgeous" I smile, she laughs. Before getting out of the car I lean in and give her a kiss, then I say goodbye to her and go up to the house

-------------------------------------------------

I hear the doorbell ring, I go and open the door to a smiling Sarah

"Good morning" I say to her laughing too, she immediately goes into the house

"Spill the tea girl, immediately" she tells me taking off her jacket, I open my mouth to start but she immediately interrupts me

"Wait, Lydia is involved?" she asks through narrowed eyes

"Yes and-"

"Have you fucked??" she cuts me off again and looks at me with wide eyes this time, I exhale

"Yes" she drops her mouth and then covers her face with her hands, smiles and hugs me

"Sarah what" I laugh

"I knew it! I told you she wanted you" she breaks away from the hug and puts a hand on her chest, I shake my head in disbelief

"You have to tell me all the details" she points a finger at me as she enters the kitchen, I follow her

"Let's do it over a plate of lasagna" I tell her, she nods
