The Faith And The Omega

Chapter 26 - Bubble Bath

Annetta POV

"How about a warm bath?" Ryan suggested since I wasn't sleeping tonight. I slowly nodded to that. "Won't be a minute" he kissed me on the forehead getting out of our bed.

I felt bad, he looks so.... tired. He's done so much for me and it kills me that he's so loving to me whereas I'm such a pain...

A few minutes later he walked back in. "Let's get you in" he held out his hands as I kindly took it pulling me up. I waddled to the bathroom but stopped seeing how beautiful he set it up. The scented candles, bath bombs, mood lighting. It seemed relaxing and... perfect.

"Ryan..." I couldn't help but smile at him. "You did all this?" "Only for you" I threw my arms around his neck hugging him. He was rubbing my sore back which helped a little. I pulled away. "Can you join me?" He looked taken back by that. "S-Sure I mean if you're comfortable" "I am" I giggled walking up to the bath. I let the oversized shirt slip off my body leaving me in just my underwear.

I felt his chest press against my back as his hands rested on my large stomach, his warm breath fanning the crook of my neck. Slowly placing my hands on top of his, I looked up to see he was staring down at our little girl that's growing inside of me. He then met my eye contact and leaned in pressing his lips against mine. My eyes fluttered shut just enjoying the feeling. A small kick was felt as Ryan rubbed on that particular spot.

He pulled away as I slowly opened my eyes. "Let's get you in. "Can you pull my underwear off?" I felt my cheeks warm up as Ryan chuckled at that. He pulled it down to the ground letting me step out from them.

"What's this?" I felt his finger touch a particular spot on my left bum cheek. "Me and my brother. We were stupid and was drunk. Got a tattoo of our favourite drink we drank that night. I was underage as well... our parents never knew obviously we got it done where they wouldn't see it" I just smiled at that memory then I frowned. "I had a brother?" I questioned myself.

That caught Ryan attention. "Annetta how hard did Lee use to hit you?" "When I blacked out..." I saw his jaw clench. "Right let's get you in the bubble bath." He quickly and unexpectedly changed the topic "Join me.... please?" "Want me to keep my boxers on?" "I don't mind it's up to you I'm comfortable with either" "Alright..." he shrugged.

In the corner of my eye I saw his boxer thrown to the pile of our clothes. He helped me step in as he got in behind me slowly helping me down. I was laying in between his legs with the back of my head resting on his chest. His hands stayed resting on my swollen stomach as he kissed my shoulder. I hummed in relaxation closing my eyes smiling.

"You're so beautiful" he mumbled. I opened my eyes looking up into his hazel orbs. "I'm not ugly?" "No, of course not. You're an absolute stunner and I would be jealous if you wasn't my mate and saw a guy lucky enough to have you" "I'm lucky to have you... Ryan you're an amazing man. Thank you. For not giving up on me." "Thank you for giving me a chance."

We both just stared into each other eyes getting lost in them. "Annetta?..." "Yes Ryan?" "I..." he just smiled stroking my cheek. I couldn't hold my smile back. "I love you..." I slowly felt my eyes watering up. He brushed the fallen tear away. "I love you too" I choked out. He kissed me which felt like it held so much meaning too. My mate, the love of my life, my future husband, and the father to my unborn child.
