Imagine...he said that without alcohol in him! She rather liked hearing it! "Good, I'd be miffed if you didn't."

She waited until he was settled before sliding gently into the tub herself. The hand was appreciated, it helped ensure she didn't fall in so much as settle across hi lap, feet still hanging out of the tub but hey, her bruise ended up under water. "Mmmm, always have to love hot water." Modern plumbing was always welcome!

Always!

"And now we're naked, and wet, and at each other's mercy..." she teased happily.
