Thank you all for reading and for the comments I've received so far!
Chapter 02: The First Bath
"Ok, now we take off the robe, and you'll get into the tub. I'll help but as a gentleman. As soon as you're safe, I can stand outside the door." Walking over, Wyatt lifted her from the toilet seat into a standing position.
Eve steadied herself as he freed her from the robe. She shivered and covered her breasts on impulse. Confusion rippled across her features as she took her hands away but shivered again.
"Oh lovely, you're cold. Take my hand. Yes, that's it now step inside," Wyatt showed her how to get in, but she wouldn't move. "Do you need something? Are you hungry?"
"Wyatt!"
"I'm here for you, but I don't know what you need."
Shit, I'm failing, and it's my first day! They're so going to fire my ass if I can't make progress!
She took his hands and looked deep into his eyes, willing him to understand. When he didn't, she tugged him towards the tub with her.
Following her for a change, he glanced at her, then the tub, and then back to her with wide eyes. "I can't, lovely. My role is to take care of you."
"Wyatt, Wyatt, Wyatt!"
"Ok, fine, but when they remove me as your handler, I'm not to blame." Sighing, he took off his coat, folded it, and did the same with the rest of his clothing. All the while, she watched him with a tiny determined grin.
Well, if nothing else, I'm bonding with her.
Eve waited until he offered her a helping hand to step down into the steep spa tub. The warm bubbles made her relax a little too fast, and as he caught her, they both went down with a thunderous splash.
When they resurfaced, he frantically checked her to make sure she could breathe and that she didn't sustain any significant injuries. He kept his examination clinical, but the little subconscious devil drooled puddles on his shoulder as he ran his hand over the curve of her hip.
She allowed him to examine her without protest, but after he finished, she started poking at him in sensitive areas. As he jumped from her touch, her bottom lip stuck out as her eyes filled with innocent tears.
"You're trouble. I hope you know that," Wyatt murmured, gathering her into his lap despite his reservations. Eve relaxed into his embrace as she continued touching him from the tips of his shoulders down to his naval. His hands unconsciously began to rub her back in tight circles to relieve tension.
A purring sound escaped her lips, but she hardly noticed. Her forefinger traced a few laps around his belly button and then poked it. He laughed, causing her to jolt unexpectedly.
"I didn't mean to frighten you. It tickled, but it's nothing to be afraid of -- I'll show you." Moving her hair away from the back of her neck, he exhaled there. As she trembled, he delicately trailed his finger across the area, barely touching her and yet, not touching her at all.
Eve's gaze turned lustful as she noticed their nearness. "Kiss," she demanded.
"Let's try a new word," Wyatt scooped bubbles into his hands and brought them up to her eye level. "Bubbles!"
A nerve in her face twitched, indicating her annoyance like a hair-trigger.
Before he knew what happened, her lips met his. Instead of rejecting her again, he gave in. Gently, his tongue caressed hers as if asking permission. In answer, she sighed into his mouth until his member stirred beneath the water catching her attention. Clutching himself protectively with one hand, he tried to move her with the other. "Pay no attention to that!"
Mimicking him, she threw both her hands underwater around his junk.
Forced to act, Wyatt scooped her with his left arm and hugged her safely against him. "We need to talk about consent. Under any other circumstances, I wouldn't dream of saying no." As he tried to bow out of the situation, she shifted and latched onto his nipple. "I serve you. Use me as you see fit!"
Not understanding, Eve took advantage of his lack of protection and took hold of his increasingly growing member.
