Bathing together.

I followed her into the bathroom, my eyes fixed on the way her hips swayed as she walked. She turned around when she heard me coming, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight of me.

"What are you doing here, Your Majesty?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of playfulness that I knew damn well. I smirked, my eyes never leaving hers as I approached her.

"I couldn't resist your allure, my lady," I said, my voice low and husky as I reached out to touch her cheek softly with my fingertips before pulling her into my arms. I could feel her body trembling with anticipation as I ran my hands over her curves once more before helping her into the bathtub filled with warm water.

I sat behind her, holding her on my body, wondering why the hell does she always need to bath in nearly boiling water. Her skin turned a bit red, but she kept smiling and cuddling to my chest.

Her nails trailed my skin in nice patterns as she wrote silly words on my forearms.

"Beloved." I smiled when I focused on what she was trying to write just now "I don't deserve you. You are so pure, Valleria. Pure and completely heat proof." I let out a throaty groan, wriggling a bit as I wiped the sweat from my face.

"Are you hot? You should have said something, I didn't realize you were not comfortable." She moved a bit aside to give me more space. 

I chuckled softly at her concern, running my fingers across her shoulder and placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. 

"I'm fine, my love," I reassured her, relishing the feeling of her skin against my body. As she settled back into my embrace, I let out a content sigh. I was never able to relax this much anywhere else, her calm nature filled me with peace every time I was in her presence. 

I couldn't help but fondle her breasts in my hands under the warm water, without any other motives than to enjoy the soft feel in my palms. Valleria's skin was like porcelain, smooth and unblemished. Her hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of silk, gleaming like a raven's feathers. 

Her eyes, green like a forest in spring, that seemed to hold the secrets of the world, gazed up into mine with a mixture of love and annoyance.

I forgot she asked me not to play with them this way, as it could make her body confused. Like now. I watched the water a bit more bleary by her nipples, forming tiny strings quickly diluting in the warm water. 

It wasn't much, but it did the thing for me.

I let go of her breasts and pulled her closer, quickly sliding with both my hands in between her thighs. 

"Not in the bath. It feels weird. The water is getting in." Valleria whined, but her body language told me otherwise.

I slowed down a bit, with my lips resting by her ear "Do you really want me to stop now? Look how aroused you made me. Remember the bath we shared by Silay's battlefield, in the tent? I regret to this day that I didn't put the courage together to fuck you in there too."
