Once inside he gently laid her on the couch and covered her with a blanket. He crouched down so his face was even with hers.
A piece of her hair had fallen and laid on her cheek. He gently smoothed the strand of hair back to its place behind her ear.
He placed a kiss on her cheek and just as he began lifting himself to stand she grabbed his hand. He crouched back down and took her hand in both of his.
Her eyes partially fluttered open before closing again.
He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it softly. A soft "mmmmm" rumbled in her throat and she smiled.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear. "I am going to run you a bath. I will be back in a few minutes."
He placed soft kisses from her temple to her cheek. She smiled and nodded.
But when he tried to stand her grip on his hand tightened. "Ok then." He smiled knowing she wanted to be with him. He helped her to her feet and led her to the bathroom.
She sat quietly on the wooden dressing bench beside the tub. Watching him gather everything he needed for her bath. "What will I wear?" She thought.
Once he got the temperature and depth of the water the way he wanted, he turned and whispered, "Arms up baby," as he walked to her.
She dropped her gaze and wrapped her arms around herself in shame. She didn't want him to see her imperfections.
"Look at me." He said a little louder.
For her to think she was anything but perfect made his heart ache. If it took him one hundred years, he would show her how beautiful and perfect she is.
Slowly she gathered her strength and met his gaze with her tear filled eyes. His eyes were soft and understanding.
Something between them changed.
Without question she raised her arms and closed her eyes. Her heart raced and her breasts rose and fell with each deep breath.
He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Open your eyes sweetheart." He kissed her cheek and took the helm of her shirt in his hands.
As she opened her eyes he slowly slid her shirt up over her head and discarded it in the waste basket.
"But I..." She started to say before he stole the words from her mouth with his. Her hands fell to his shoulders and she let out a sigh.
He crouched down without breaking the kiss and placed his hands on her bare waist. She shivered under his touch and her skin broke out in goose flesh.
She moved her soft lips in unison with his. Occasionally gliding her tongue over his. She needed him in a way she couldn't explain.
She wanted to be his.
He continued claiming her mouth as he slid his hands around her back to unclasped her bra.
Still tasting his sweet calming kisses, she lowered her arms and her bra fell to her lap.
He gathered her bra in his hand and discarded it in the waste basket as well.
Still kissing her, he placed his hands under her arms and lifted her with him as he stood.
His lips slowly left hers as he trailed kisses down her chin to her neck. He fought the urge again to mark her.
She breathed heavily as he kissed and gently sucked her sensitive flesh. She felt his hands slide down her sides to her waist.
"So soft. So beautiful." He whispered between kisses.
The smoldering fire within her rose to the surface once again. Her lips wet with desire.
She fisted her hands in his hair and let out a gasp as he hooked his thumbs over her pants and slowly pushed them down.
A low growl rumbled in his throat and he gripped her hips.
He fought yet again to keep the burning fire within him from escaping. Soon she would feel the intensity of his flames.
His lips trailed her collar bone before moving down her chest. His lips hovered over her right breast.
She sucked in a deep breath when he nipped her nipple. He repeated with her left nipple. Smiling to himself with pleasure.
He continued down her stomach leaving feather light kisses. Pushing her pants to her ankles.
She started pushing his head to where she wanted him most.
He stilled, grabbing her hands and putting them behind her. The way he placed her arms behind her told her not to move them.
"Tsk tsk tsk. You naughty girl. I believe you forgot something while getting dressed."
He leaned forward and exhaled a hot breath on the tender skin along her hair line.
A soft "please" escaped her lips as she pushed her hips forward.
His strong gentle hands stilled her movements.
He placed kisses along the top of her trimmed pubic hair and she shuddered. His tongue tracing the line his lips made.
He looked up and her and smiled.
Her lips were parted. Sucking in as much air as she could. They were plump and red from his kisses. Her nipples hard and areolas shriveled from his teeth.
She looked beautiful.
"Step out baby." He said as she lifted one foot then the other out of her pants.
He tossed them into the waste basket and rose to his feet.
"Bath time princess." He said as he grabbed her arms to steady her into the tub.
"But why did..." She started but he already knew what she was going to say. "Shhhhh. I know baby. I know." Was his reply.
She didn't understand why he did all those things just to give her a bath. She pouted and wrinkled her eyebrows as she sat down in the tub.
"I needed you to relax and trust me." He said as he walked towards the back of the tub.
The water was nice and warm but it did nothing for the fire between her legs.
She sat there with her head down bruting. Unaware he was undressing.
