filling the air with their soothing aroma.
    Areus stepped into the tub and sank into the water. It was almost
too hot to be comfortable. Almost. After a moment his body acclimated to the
temperature and he relaxed. The water wasn’t very deep, but it still lapped at
the bandage covering his middle.
    “I’ll change this later,” Delia said, running a fingertip
over the bandage before she stepped behind him.
    She picked up a hand towel resting on the edge of the tub
and dipped it into the water. She ran the cloth over his shoulders and back.
    “Tonight I’ll be your servant, sire.” She slid her arms
around his neck and brushed her soft cheek against his. It felt so good. He
loved being close to her like this.
    Delia kissed his cheek. She took his hand and raised his arm
so she could wash under it, then she washed under the other. She bathed his
chest, then placed the cloth aside and massaged his shoulders and the back of
his neck.
    Areus groaned. He could grow accustomed to this.
    Closing his eyes, he lowered his chin to his chest. Her
small hands were surprisingly strong. She massaged away the tension that seemed
a constant part of him.
    “I love touching you,” she said, stroking the back of his
neck. “I never thought I’d love touching someone like this.”
    “I knew I would.” He raised his head to look at her over his
shoulder. “From the moment I saw you. Come here.”
    He turned and grasped her beneath her arms to pull her into the
tub.
    Delia smiled and braced her hands against his hard, water-slicked
shoulders.
    Finally they sat facing each other in the tub of warm water.
Delia’s legs were bent, her knees drawn toward her chest. There wasn’t much
room, so he extended his legs a bit and spread them. He took her hand and
tugged her close.
    She rested her back against his chest and he wrapped his
arms around her, kissing her hair.
    “I used to think about what it might be like to be with a
man,” she said. “Never thought it would actually happen and I never thought I’d
be sharing a bath with one—even if he was my husband.”
    “This is a perfect night,” he admitted.
    “I wanted you to like it.” She turned her head to meet his
gaze.
    “I do.” Areus nuzzled her neck. He cupped her breasts and
brushed his thumbs over her nipples. Already stiff, they tightened even more.
Desire shot through her and her stomach clenched. Her clit swelled and her
pussy ached. Unable to resist, she turned and wrapped her arms around him,
kissing him hard.
    Areus held her close, his hands roaming over her from
shoulders to ass. Grasping her buttocks, he tugged her on top of him. His hard cock
pushed against her stomach and she reached between them to grasp it.
    He lifted her higher and their gazes locked.
    “Put me inside you,” he said.
    Delia moistened her lips, then parted them, her hazel eyes
smoldering. She raised herself up even more and guided the tip of his cock into
her pussy. She released his shaft and grasped his shoulders as she lowered
herself onto him.
    Areus leaned his head back, his eyes half-closed. She was so
hot and tight. He gripped her smooth bottom a bit harder and moaned softly.
    “Oh Areus,” she whispered. Taking his chin in her hand, she kissed
him slowly, tenderly. Her soft lips felt so good against his, but he wanted to
taste even more of her.
    He thrust his tongue between her lips and she opened to him,
her tongue meeting his. For several blissful moments, they explored each other’s
mouths. While they kissed, she started rocking against him, the motion sending
waves of pleasure through them both.
    He took her hands and their fingers entwined. She leaned
into him, gyrating faster. Areus’s heart pounded. The water felt even hotter
than before and if this went on for much longer, he thought his cock would
burst.
    “Delia, not so fast,” he breathed.
    “But it feels so good,” she panted.
    “I know, but you—”
    With a cry of pleasure, she clamped her knees against him.
