“Honestly, that’s my only concern whenever we’re fighting,” Xari finished. We were talking outside the van while Wilston and Niam talked about the different kinds of fish the lake held. Wilston seemed to know a bit about fish and felt he knew enough to be able totell if they were edible or not, not that Niam couldn’t, but it seemed like a good chance for both to carry a conversation, something I knew Niam had been waiting for since we’d found Wilston.
“Seriously?” I replied. “If it bothers you so much, then why don’t you stop using it for a couple of days?” Niam had apparently once hit him in the face and he kept fearing it would happen again.
“Oh, it’s hard to get it back in even just after a few days without,” Xari shrugged. I did, too, not knowing much about nose piercings to truly give my opinion on it.
Niam gasped from the small distance between us. “Xari!” he exclaimed, looking mortified. “You can’t just talk about our sex life like that! I know it’s not exactly a private matter these days, but damn, keep something sacred!”
Xari and I looked confused at one another then both said, “What?”
“What do you mean what?!” Niam gestured wildly with his hands. “Don’t talk about my asshole, you asshole!”
I burst out laughing, Xari following right behind as we fell to the ground crying with laughter.
“Don’t laugh at me!” Niam stomped his foot with his hands fisted at his sides, clearly fuming at us.
Xari seemed to know that now was the appropriate time to stop, having emotional reading was truly useful sometimes. “Baby,” he said, holding both hands up. “We were talking about my nose piercing.”
Wilston boomed out a laugh from behind Niam, which only started me and Xari again. Niam seemed too embarrassed to join us, but he smiled shyly and shook his head at the whole situation, waiting patiently for us to stop laughing. I’d never heard Wilston laugh so loudly and uninhibitedly before. It was amazing to witness.
I shook my head, smiling widely as I got back on my feet. “We should get some sleep,” I told them as we all tried to reign in our laughter. I walked over to our makeshift bathroom. It was a wooden house Xari had built; its intent was for us to have a place where we could brush our teeth and wash our hands. It had a container of water we could use. Niam just had to refill it daily. Xari had also built us an outhouse at the edge of our enclosure, and he had to do a daily cleanse, which meant he used his earth magic to drag our waste down into the ground. It wasn’t glamorous or anything, but it was useful.
Niam and Xari preferred to bathe with Niam’s magic, but I didn’t want to show them my goods, so I would bathe in the lake with some natural soap, or have Xari make a bath that Niam could fill for me. That actually sounded perfect! And something we could all very much use. I was doing my best not to rub my hands together and cackle evilly as I planned something for me and Wilston. I just needed Xari’s help first and then Niam’s.
I brushed my teeth and hurried over to Xari. “Hey, I have an amazing idea and I need your help.” He always seemed eager to hear whatever ideas I came up with, so he followed without question. I led him to the end where we’d made our small garden. “I need you to build a big bathtub. And then make a privacy fence around it. Oh, and it needs to be big enough for two.”
The smile that spread across his face was pure mischief. I quickly added. “Iwill be the first to use it. Hopefully with Wilston.” No way was I letting them break in the new tub. It wasmyidea after all.
He huffed. “Fine,” I’ll add a ward around it, too, so whoever uses it can do so without others listening in.” He shot me a wink and began crafting, making the tub out of porcelain and adding the fenceright after. He was quick when he built stuff now. Clearly the many things I’d made him make us had helped him practice plenty.
“I’ll grab Niam to get him to fill it with hot water,” I said, walking back to the van.
When Niam was informed and eagerly followed my orders, I went to search for Wilston. I found him waiting for me in our trailer. I poked my head in, “Want to bathe with me before bed?”
Chapter 13
Wilston
Was I already asleep and in the middle of the best dream of my life, or did Silver truly just ask me to bathe with him?
“Well?” he asked and all I could do was nod and hope I didn’t wake up anytime soon.
He grabbed his pajamas and some of his own soap and then something that looked awfully lacy. Not that I got a real look at it since he quickly hid it inside his pajamas. I grabbed my own stuff and then a towel for us both and followed him outside. I’d gone to bed thinking we’d maybe talk some more tonight. I’d overheard that ourtrailer had been soundproofed, too, so I’d looked forward to finally speaking freely with him. I wanted to know every little thing about my soulmatch.
I followed Silver down to where a few new trees had appeared and then saw the new wooden fence. Had they made outdoor showers or something? Stepping around the partition I almost swallowed my tongue. We were bathing inthattogether?
“Let’s hurry in before the water gets cold, although Xari made rocks underneath that Niam heated up, too, so it should remain warm for at least an hour, maybe more if we’re lucky.”
I followed his lead, removing my clothes as fast as possible, only stopping when Silver was left in only his underwear. I didn’t care that I was staring, how could I not stare? Lilac lace panties were my new favorite thing in the world. The flowery lace pattern lay comfortably against his perfect butt, the light lilac shade perfect on his pale unblemished skin. I wanted to kneel behind him and lick the skin around the lace, tasting it.
“If you wanna see more, you need to show some skin, too, babe,” Silver purred. He had a knowing smile on his face as he turned to face me. The front was just as enticing.
“How can someone be this perfect?”
“Just lucky genes, I guess,” he replied to what I’d thought was an internal thought. I wasn’t embarrassed, though, too busy removing my clothes. I’d only managed to remove my shoes and jacket before the lilac panties had hit me with a stun spell. Now I was down to my boxers, letting Silver get his fill of my body, which was only fair. I decided to be brave and removed my boxers, too, standing completely naked in front of my soulmatch, letting him see exactly how much he affected me.
“Fuck,” he whimpered when I decided to take my cock in hand. I knew we were bathing, but it was aching and growing needier under his full attention. I turned and got into the warm water, groaning as my body was caressed by the amazing water. Sitting down, I let my gaze return to Silver.
“You coming in?” I asked, shooting him a grin. He stood where I’d left him, still wearing his lace panties. He nodded and seemed to gather himself as he shimmied out of my favorite thing in the world, showing me something even better. He was gifted, which I knew already since the panties couldn’t hide much, but damn. Could adick be pretty? Because his was. It was like a supermodel dick. Long, thin, and hard.For me.
