Page 79 of Dreams That Bind Us
"I've been rough on you." His comment was light, but she could sense he meant more than just last night. "Let's take a bath in that amazing tub you picked out for me." His finger leisurely traveled from one tight nipple to the other. "Every time I look at it, I imagine you there, soaking with me."
James rolled from the bed and Anna watched his sculpted backside as he padded to the bathroom and started the water. "I have several types of bath salts in here. Do you mind if I use honeysuckle? It's my favorite," he called out.
"Honeysuckle is good." She smiled, secretly loving that he smelled it on her.
"Good." He strolled toward her slowly. "I smelled it that first day we ran into each other and I haven't been able to get it out of my head." He plucked her off the bed and carried her into the bathroom.
"I'm not a child," she protested. "I can walk."
The corner of his mouth lifted, and his eyes twinkled. "I'm aware of that. But I need to touch you and you're sore." He set her by the edge of the tub and tested the water. "Perfect."
"Hold on. I need to use the bathroom first, and then I'll hop in." Anna took care of her business and grinned when she heardhis loud exhale as he climbed into the tub. She washed her hands, then carefully stepped into the steaming water.
"Wow, that's hot." She inched down into the swirling mass, hissing when it hit her sensitive flesh, then sighed as the water worked it’s magic, soothing her aches. "This feels amazing," she murmured, her eyes half-closing as her body relaxed against him.
His arms circled her, and his lips dropped to her shoulder, peppering it with soft kisses. "Youfeel amazing." His fingers linked with hers at her waist and his body slackened even more.
They were both quiet for several minutes as the tub finished filling. Anna grinned as James turned the water off with his feet. "That's quite a talent," she teased.
His deep chuckle vibrated through her. "You should see what I can do with my other body parts."
"I already have a pretty good idea of that," she retorted.
"Hmmmmm," he hummed in her ear. "There's still a lot you haven't seen yet." She could only imagine what else James might have hidden up his sleeve.
“Speaking of…” she muttered as she pivoted in the tub and climbed on his lap. “I promised to show you later.”
His gaze brightened with interest as he gripped her hips. “Yeah?”
“And this particular bathtub is where it takes place…” She dropped kisses along his collarbone. He shivered as she captured his earlobe between her teeth. She gave it a sucking kiss and released it. “This is my favorite dream,” she whispered in his ear.
He lay sprawled on the tub’s lip panting as she peppered kisses down his hard torso. She stopped to lick his sensitive spots as her hands massaged his hard cock.
“Fuck me,” he ground out, lifting his hips to give her better access.
“I plan to,” she purred as her lips continued down until she engulfed his turgid length. Drawing her tongue along the underside, her tongue circled the tip and sucked him in, working him until he was a gasping, shuddering mess.
“Anna, baby, I’m gonna come,” he groaned.
She clamped down as he tried to pull her off, refusing to stop.
“Fuck,” he shouted as he pulsed down her throat. She hummed as she licked him clean, enjoying the way he twitched under her ministrations.
“Goddamn,” he muttered, settling back into the tub. “That was better than any dream I’ve ever had.”
Anna pivoted and relaxed against him, inordinately pleased that she could surprise him. She started to nod off as she luxuriated in the water swirling around them.
"Anna," he rumbled, his voice taking on a serious note.
"Yeah?"
"I need to explain what happened, so you understand. I need you to know so you'll forgive me."
She squeezed his hand. "I do forgive you."
"No, I need to explain it to you, Kitten. I was scared."
Anna tensed, dreading to hear the words. James lifted her left hand to his lips and he pressed a kiss to her knuckles.
