Chapter Forty-Four

We collapsed together on the bed, worn out and very happily satisfied. I slid off him, curling into his side. His arms wrapped around me, holding me close to him, "That was amazing, you are amazing. I love you." I heard him whisper to me.

"So are you. I love you with everything I am." I murmured back to him. We snuggled for a few minutes before he rolled out of the bed. I sat up a bit and watched him as he walked to the bathroom. I heard the shower start before he came back out and scooped me out of the bed.

"I could walk ya know?" I giggled at him.

"I know, but I want to take care of you." He grinned at me and carried me into the bathroom. He stepped into the shower with me and set me gently on my feet.

I stepped into the water, relishing in the feeling of the heat of it on my muscles. I really did love a hot shower, "Mmmm, so good."

"Should I be worried about being replaced with that hot shower?" Tristan chuckled at me and I stuck my tongue out at him.
