~Ava~

Wings gone, Bea stood silently in front of the filling bath while she closed the door. She was staring at the water and from what Ava could see of her face, she was lost in thought.

Ava felt a lump form in her throat as she took in Bea's bowed head, the tightness in her shoulders, and wondered at what she had been through since they were separated. There seemed to be a sort of heaviness about Bea, a lingering sort of tension. Ava deposited the pile of fresh clothes she'd snagged on their way to the bathroom on the edge of the sink and placed her hands on the backs of Bea's still clothed shoulders. Bea shivered under her touch, straightening up slightly and Ava smiled. She could, at least, help Bea relax.

Sliding her hands under her arms, Ava found the buttons of Bea's shirt and set to work undoing each one as she kissed every inch of skin she could reach at the back of her neck.

"I missed you."

Bea leaned her head back against Ava's shoulder and Ava turned her face toward her, trailing her lips across Bea's jaw line.

"I missed you too, darling." The sister warrior's voice was barely a whisper, Ava could hear the pain behind it. "It was so hard without you."

"I'm here now." Ava whispered back, pushing the open shirt down Bea's shoulders and letting it fall to the floor. "I'm here now."

She kissed her way down Bea's spine, from the nape of her neck to the strap of her bra and felt Bea exhale deeply, like more of that same tension was leaving her.

Ava smiled again, sliding her fingers under the strap. "May I?"

Bea nodded and Ava snapped the clasp, swiftly pulling the entire thing up and over Bea's head. The bra joined her discarded shirt. Ava wrapped her arms back around her fiancé, tracing the outlines of hard muscle of her toned stomach with the tips of her fingers, travelling higher and higher until...

"Darling, ugh..."

Ava grinned, rolling the sensitive bud of Bea's nipple between her thumb and forefinger. God she'd missed the noises Bea made. Ava's mouth climbed back up the gorgeous expanse of delicately freckled skin to take her earlobe between her teeth and nip at it.

"Ava?"

Ava tweaked the sensitive flesh and barely held back her own moan as Bea arched her back, pushing into Ava's hands on her breasts. It had been far too long. "Yeah, Bea?"

"The bath's about to overflow..."

Ava looked past Bea then and saw how close the water was to seeping over the edge. "Shit!" She let the sister warrior go to rush forward and switch off the tap. Ava then loosened the plug to let some of the water out for good measure before turning around. "Where were...oh, fuck..."

Bea had shed the last of her clothes and was standing there, like some sort of Greek goddess, in all her naked glory.
