Dead Set: Rebirth

Chapter 7

Day one of Jonathan being away gave Dio his free time of teasing Reina. Reina was scrubbing Dio's back with a bar of soap and a wash cloth. She forgot the man was taller. Dio relaxes in the bath. The warm water was up to his stomach. Compared to Reina, Dio was a giant.

"Your hands are soft." Dio said. Reina looks at him and scoffs. She moves the cloth to his shoulders. "I'm not getting in the tub." Reina said. Dio laughs as he knew that Reina caught on to his advances. The woman was a sharp one. "You catch on quick. Are you ready to graduate?" Dio said. Reina nods. She continues to scrub his back until Dio turns around and points to his hair, "Please." Reina chuckles and takes the bottle of shampoo out of the basket.

She squirts the shampoo in her hair then places the bottle on the floor. Reina's fingers ran through Dio's hair and spreads the shampoo liquid throughout his strands. Dio closes his eyes and sighs in enjoyment. His arms rested on the rim of the tub. His chin rested on his arms. "I love you Reina." Dio said. Reina stops as she heard his words. She hums and continues to massage his scalp.

"I want to make love to you Reina. I miss touching you. Your body is the only body I want to touch." He murmurs as if he was going to fall asleep. Reina was in shock about Dio's confession. She knew he loved her. The honesty was there. Dio's actions were telling her the truth. "Speak appropriately Dio. We are alone, but I am only a woman. My family is not rich and I used to fight a lot of men back then." Reina said as Dio slowly opens his eyes.

"It does not matter to me. You are my future wife." Dio places his hand on Reina's cheek. "Dio. You're being a sap." Reina teases with a laugh. She could not help but laugh. Dio's devious expression softens as he looks at his lover. Reina being like this meant she was truly happy. "You still behave like you're still a child." Dio said. Reina moves her hands out of his hair and frowns. She could not remember some of her childhood. Dio notices her expression and kisses the woman on her lips. Reina was caught off guard. She blinks and moves herself away from him.

"Dio. That was not..." Reina said as she was flustered. "You need to get the shampoo out of your hair. Your bangs are longer now." She adds as she moves herself closer to him. Reina dips her hands in the water to wash the suds off her skin. Dio watches Reina and grabs one of her hands. He moves her hand to his groin. Reina gasps as she felt his hard skin and pulls her hand away.

"T-That's not appropriate behavior Dio. I'm not here to satisfy your needs especially in that fashion." Reina scolds him. Dio laughs as he allows Reina to cup the water in her hands. She pours the water over his head and runs the suds out of his hair for a few minutes. "You mustn't be shy around me. We shared a bath before. Plenty of times. You should not be afraid." Dio says as Reina was running her fingers through his hair. She focused on cleaning his hair nothing else.

"I'm not familiar with sex like this." Reina said. Dio pulls Reina into another kiss. This time he was gentle yet persistent with making her vulnerable. "Let me show you. I'll make sure to keep you quiet." Dio murmurs into her mouth. Reina needed to get out of the situation before she would give in to his temptations. Dio wraps his arm around her and was close to pulling the woman into the bath tub.

He bites her lower lip to slip his tongue in her mouth. Reina, for a second had allowed herself to get distracted before she slips away and stands up. The woman shakes her head. Her face was flustered. The thumping of her heartbeat proved that Dio was getting to her. She needed to escape. "Go finish your bath and come down for a late night snack." Reina says as she straightens herself before she leaves the bathroom. She was not in a hurry, but she needed to get out.

"Dio enjoys teasing me. I am not an animal in heat." Reina took her time walking down the stairs to head into the kitchen. The young woman enters the kitchen and prepares a fruit platter for Dio and Mr. Joestar. Reina was slicing the bananas, apples, oranges, and plums. She was concerned for the older man.
