Snowed In

Chapter 24

With all of the arrangements made it became a matter of hurry up and wait for the vacation to be over and life to return to the normal humdrum that it was. We lounged around the fireplace snacking on grapes and cheese and sipping on a dry wine. A touch of sadness lingered about our little makeshift campsite in front of the fireplace. It was unpleasant, to say the least. We had one more meal to eat there and a light breakfast that we had already prepared for the trip down the mountain. Our bags were packed and easy access was left for us to stow our PJs and get to our toiletries in the morning. Our bags were ready to go, but I sure wasn't.

I sat quietly, watching the flames consume the logs, absently stuffing a grape in my mouth when I remembered one little thing that we had forgotten to do. My eyes grew wide with joy and surprise. How could we have forgotten that?

"Avriel, Avriel!" I found myself slapping his knee as he turned his attention to me. He had amusement in his eyes and a soft smile splayed across his lips. He was on the verge of bursting out in laughter. "I know. I know what we can do before dinner!" I was literally bouncing as I spoke. I am not sure how I managed it sitting with my feet crossed under me, but I sure did. That time Avi did laugh. There was no way to stop.

With a warm smirk on his pleasant face, he quietly asked, "What can we do?"

"The bathtub!"

He was immediately on the same page. "With the shower thingy and lights in the bottom of it?" I nodded fervently biting at my bottom lip. I didn't have to tell him twice. My hand was in his and he was pulling me to my feet before I had a chance to take a breath. He led me up the stairs and straight to the bathroom. He flipped every switch until he had the right combination. Then walked off to go turn the water on. I looked around in the cabinets until I spied the bubble bath that I had spied earlier. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to die when I realized what scent it was.

"What is so funny over here?" A shirtless Avi wrapped his arm around me and turned the bottle up so he could read the label too. His laughter was almost deafening.

"Lavender, go fucking figure!"

He asked me for the bottle of bubble bath and wandered over to the controls for the tub.

He turned on the water and adjusted the temperature. Once he was satisfied, he dropped the plug and poured a generous amount of the bubble bath into the tub. Before long the whole room was full of steam and smelled of lavender.

The tub was just shy of half full when he remembered the rain shower head above it. He played at the controls until the shower started raining down on us from above and approached me.

"C'mere," he whispered and moved his finger in that come hither motion. Naturally, I did as he asked. "You are wearing a bit too much clothing for a bath My Love." He said as his pants and underwear hit the floor. I was pulling my shirt over my head as he reached over to undo my jeans. He tickled my tummy before he slid his hands in the waistband of my panties and pushed both garments to the floor. I unhooked and tossed my bra away just as he grabbed me around the waist and carried me over to the tub. He lifted me over the edge and set me down slowly so I could find my footing and then he climbed in next to me and sat down. He reached up and grabbed my hand and pulled me down next to him. He scooped up a handful of bubbles and blew it in my face. I retaliated by putting my hand in the water and shoving it at him. He laughed and splashed me back. We were both laughing and crying at the same time. Then one of us snorted and we both stopped for a second before we started howling, splashing and raising a whole lot of ruckus. It didn't matter how much water we slashed out of the tub, so we didn't care, there were drains in the floor for the shower.

We laughed and played and broke all the rules our parents told us not to as children. It was more fun than I had ever had in a bathtub, the only thing missing was a slide. I must have made a face because he started to belly laugh, so I pushed him under the rain shower. He grabbed my hand and pulled me under with him, warm water rained down over us. My wet hair was hanging in my face. He slowly pushed it back out of the way and behind my ears. He kept his hands on the sides of my face and looked me in the eyes.

"I am so glad that we can play together. There's no one I would rather be a kid with."

I thought he was leaning in to kiss me. My butterflies took flight in my stomach. The next thing I know he was dunking my head under the water. I came up sputtering and trying to catching my breath. He was laughing so hard that he was crying. When I caught my breath and looked at him.

"You are so gonna get it, Mister," I said as I threw myself whole body into him.

This caused him to slide all the way under water. He came up sputtering and still laughing. He had bubbles in his hair and beard and eyebrows. I couldn't stop the laughter that bubbled up out of me. He turned off the rain shower and made his way over to me. He slid his arms around my waist and pulled me up tight against his body. He slammed his lips into mine. He brought his hand up to the back of my head for better control. The water and bubbles had us sliding against each other and I felt his arousal slip across my belly. I slid my hand down between us gripped him firmly. I pulled at him gently. He bit my bottom lip and pulled away from my mouth.

"If you keep that up, I'm not going to last very long." I pushed him backward until he was sitting on one of the bench seats. I tried to straddle his lap, but he turned me so that my back was to him. He pulled me down into his lap and I felt him slide inside of me. I couldn't stop the moan that escaped me. He had one arm around my torso, his other hand was resting on my hip. He was laying gentle kisses on my neck and shoulders. Unsure of what to do with my hands, I trailed one down to touch where we were joined. His whole body shivered as my fingers brushed the very sensitive underside of him. He moaned loudly into my neck. The action felt deliciously erotic. He brought his hand down to guide mine over myself. I began to rock back and forth and was soon met with wave after wave of pleasure. I was almost there when grabbed my hips and stopped me. He stood me up, successfully separating us and sat me on the edge of the tub. He stood in between my legs and kissed my lips softly. He gradually deepened the kiss until I couldn't see straight. I wrapped my legs around his waist and he slid right in. He rolled his hips in a rhythm all his own. It wasn't long before we were coming together with echoing moans.

He pulled the drain on the tub as the water was getting cold. He met my eyes, "Can you stand?" Still catching my breath, I nodded. He exited the tub and helped me to my feet. He led me over to the shower heads in the corner and turned one on. While we were scrubbing each other, he started laughing.

"What's so funny?" I asked, laughing myself because his was so infectious.

"I am amazed that we haven't grown gills with the amount of time we have spent in this shower on this trip," he said, holding his side's through his laughter.
