She reached up to turn the water off with her toes and eased back into the warmth of the water, closing her eyes and letting the sweet vanilla scent of the bubbles take her over.
Thoughts of him filled her. She could feel his hands touching her, his lips on hers, his body pressed against her, and she was taken back to the time they were together.
Her heart raced with anticipation as she walked down the hall and stopped in front of the door.
She found room 126 and knocked. The door opened slowly, revealing him standing before her without his shirt on. It was the first time their eyes had met, but to her it was like she had known that face every day of her life.
He pulled her close to him for a hug, and she felt like she was home. It was the most peaceful feeling she had ever had in the arms of a man, and she felt like she could stay there forever.
Hugging her arms around her in the water, she yearned for that moment, yearned for those arms to be holding her again.
They sat on the queen size bed and talked like old friends, brushed against one another teasingly and shared pictures and stories of his life.
She sat beside him, her body touching his ever so lightly, and drank in every word he spoke. It was just like every time they had spoken before, she couldn’t wait to hear everything he had to say. She wanted to know everything there was to know about him.
She smiled to herself, thinking about all those night when they talked for hours, all the secrets they had shared with each other.
The first time he kissed her, a wave of warmth flowed through her. When his hands found her body…moving over all the right places-her neck, her breasts, the small of her back-she felt the tingle all the way to the tips of her toes.
It had been a long time since anyone had touched her like that, since anyone had taken the time to explore her body and truly pay attention to what sent shivers up and down her spine. In her mind it seemed like an eternity since anyone had brought her to that place of ecstasy within her that he found so easily.
Lying there in that bed with him, everything has seemed so perfect. Now, in this bathtub in her steamy bathroom so far from him, she ached for that feeling. He was so far away, but as she closed her eyes, he was right there beside her again. She concentrated on that, not wanting to think of the distance.
