“I think you look spectacular awash in bubbles.” As he gave me a hard look and I burst into full laughter, I happened to notice Max was lying on the floor just outside the bathroom, his chin resting on his two paws.

He knew better than to bother coming in. The pup was smarter than the two of us put together.

I playfully tossed some bubbles at Kage, still laughing until he straddled my legs, placing his palms on the outer edges of the tub. In the candlelight, the soft glow shimmering across his face, I was able to concentrate on the expression he wore. Not that I was certain what his clenched jaw or the way his lips were pursed meant, but I did sense his burning desire.

There was no mistaking the way we felt about each other, the strong pull and tug, but what were we supposed to do with the lust-filled energy? I knew neither one of us could go on this way. At least not for long.

As he slowly lowered his head, I was struck not only by the intense scent of citrus and wood but also by the way he was breathing through his mouth. The sound was exaggerated, reverberating in the room. But with the sounds of a softer shade of Disturbed playing in the background, I knew we were both being pulled into a beautiful vacuum.

His hot breath was tickling my skin, the fact he was taking so long to kiss me driving me crazy. I was the one who wrapped my arm around his neck, closing the few centimeters of space between our two mouths. Mr. Rough and Tumble was once again gentle with his kiss, darting his tongue past my lips.

I’d become more of the aggressor, to the point I almost immediately sucked on his tongue, enjoying a little bit of control. He held himself aloft, allowing me to bask in the moment for a few seconds. Finally, he captured my mouth as the man I’d first met had, the one refusing to take no for an answer.

But the moment of intimacy wasn’t frantic as it had always been before. This was as if we were finally trying to get to know each other. It was crazy yet wonderful, allowing for continuous jolts of current. When he broke the kiss, I gasped, reaching for him immediately.

“Hold on, baby girl. Unless you want to deal with a flood.” His grin was infectious as he reached back, turning off the water. As he advanced again, cupping one side of my face, butterflies swarmed in my stomach. No matter the good or bad sides to him, the man could easily make my heart flutter.

As he pressed the back of my head against the tub, his weight pinning me down, I wondered if there could ever be anything so amazing as this again. Maybe accepting this was a fantasy and nothing else was perfectly okay. I didn’t want to try to make him something he wasn’t anyway. That never worked out.

But here we were, pretending to be better versions of ourselves, playing at being in the heated middle of a relationship. The kiss became more powerful until it seemed his desire was overpowering mine.

He broke the kiss, chuckling slightly as he took several deep breaths. Every move with the man was absolutely perfect and as he pulled me up and onto his lap, not a single drop of water splashed over the edge.

I would need to ask him how he managed that.

Later.

This was far too enjoyable to ignore even for a few seconds.

As his cock filled me, finding its way into my pussy without any assistance, I issued an intense vocal shudder. His shaft was throbbing more than usual, stretching my muscles to the point I was taking shallow breaths from the pleasure.

Now I was the one straddling his legs, cupping one side of his face as he was doing to me. I just knew the room was spinning in circle after circle like in glorious romantic movies when the couples finally acknowledge they couldn’t live without each other.

I was lightheaded, beads of perspiration rolling down my cheeks like they were doing on his. We remained exactly like we were, staring into each other’s eyes. He shifted a couple of times, driving his cock in even deeper, but we were both concentrating on showing the other what we were thinking and wanting.

“Don’t worry, baby girl. It will all work out.” His voice was full of reassurance.

“How. How is that possible?”

“Because I have a few tricks up my sleeve.”

“I don’t want tricks, Kage. I just want what’s best for you. You need to let me help clear your name.”

The shock on his face was followed by that very stubborn look of disdain. “I got parole. That’s all I can expect.”

“Not necessarily. I’m pretty damn good at research. I think we can clear your name. That’s what is best for you.”

“That’s where you are wrong. What’s best for me is being with you.” He slipped his hand behind my head, digging his fingers into my scalp and pulling back so he could drag his tongue along the underside of my chin. I pressed one hand against his chest, kneading his muscles as he used his insanely strong thigh muscles to thrust.

I squeezed my muscles, trying to keep my breathing even as he toyed with me, using two fingers to pinch one nipple then the other. The hint of pain was delicious, more so than I should admit.

Bucking against him, I sloshed water all over again, the jolt of vibrations amazing. He continued adding hints of anguish to ecstasy, twisting my nipples until they both ached. But I had no intention of stopping him.

We developed a rhythm and he finally let go of my hair, his hands resting on my legs as mine were on his. There was no need to be fast in what we were doing, no worry about being interrupted, unless it was by an often naughty Golden Shepherd. We simply enjoyed the tingling sensations, the way we could make each other feel. I was shocked and amazed at our combined self-control, the ability to do nothing more than allow the moment to continue.

When he finally broke the mesmerizing moment, rubbing his fingers ever so lightly down one arm, I could tell he had so much on his mind. Yet the passion, the need we both experienced to feel alive was more powerful than anything else.

I had no idea how long we were coupled together but the water was starting to cool. He gripped my hips, becoming more intense with his actions. I was almost instantly thrown into a euphoric feeling, my breathing changing. I was so amazed, feeling a hint of sadness that didn’t seem appropriate, but I knew it was a matter of time before the bubble was burst.
