He eases my body slowly into the steaming water and I stiffen my leg a bit, hanging it over the edge of the tub to not get it wet. “Well this is a little awkward, at least your here to help me the first time.” He turns to grab things off the shelf and I notice he has all of my shampoos and body wash set next to his. I relax back into the bath as his long slender fingers massage my scalp.
“Mmm that feels so good,” I moan out as he starts to work the body wash down my body with a wash cloth. He finishes up as I continue to soak and relish the feel of his fingers lightly grazing my skin. I hear his breath catch and I peek an eye open at him.
“What’s the matter?” I ask as I notice his sullen expression. “This,” he says as he gestures up and down my body. I follow the trail of his fingers and take in the amount of bruising covering my body especially covering my chest where the seat belt must have dug in. I also had a few stitches on each arm. “That jackass is lucky he’s locked up right now. He really wouldn’t want to deal with me,” he says with a growl.
“I’m here Chase that’s all that matters. And really I’m fine, just a little sore.”
“You’re so strong Leah,” he kisses my forehead before rising up from his knees. “I’m gonna go put a few things away, you relax for a bit and I’ll come help you get out when you’re ready.”
“’Kay,” I answer back as I slide down lower into the warm water and close my eyes.
“Babe, babe,” I hear as I feel a light shaking on my shoulder and peel my eyes open. Chase is standing above me with a towel outstretched in his arms. “Sorry, I must have fallen asleep for a minute.”
“Must have been real quick I was gone for about 10 minutes and you’re in here snoozing away. You ready to get out?” I nod my head as he leans in to pull me out, wrapping the towel around me and I’m instantly taken back to our first night together. I wrap my arms around his neck as he heads towards the bedroom and places me in the middle of his bed.
“I just talked to my Mom. She said that Caleb was napping and as soon as he woke up she would bring him home.”
“Oh that’s great. I can’t wait to see him, this is like the longest we’ve ever been apart. I’m glad your Mom was able to take good care of him.”
He nods his head back at me. “Yup Mom loves having him around but I know he’s excited to see you. I didn’t know what you would want to wear so I just grabbed one of my shirts for you. Let me know if you need help with anything.” I toss the shirt off the bed and scootch myself back near the headboard, unwrapping the towel from my body. “You’ll do just fine.” I try to pull him closer to my body but he quickly backs up. “Leah I don’t think we should yet, I’m scared I’ll hurt you.”
I shake my head at him and reach for his hand to pull him closer. “Don’t worry, I’ll let you know if your bumping into anything that you’re not supposed to. It might be a little awkward with my leg but I think we can make it work.”
He slowly lowers his body back down to the bed and reaches up to my lips, doing his trademark Chase kiss that I love with his playful nips on the outside of my mouth and pushing slowing in with his tongue to explore my mouth. His lips are full on mine and the warmth of his mouth shoots to my toes. He abruptly ends the kiss and lightly pushes my head back as I try to protest with him by wrapping my hand around his neck to pull him back.
He wags a finger at me, “Nu uh. I need to kiss every inch of this beat up body.” I let myself relax and flop by head back on the pillow as he works his way from my mouth down to my neck where he lightly sucks on that one spot right behind my ear that he knows I love. I feel his warm breath as his tongue brushes across my collarbone and he then stops to pay attention to each of my breasts, lightly kneading and sucking each one.
He makes his way down my belly, swirling his tongue around in my belly button and then dropping his head between my thighs that he’s wedged open slightly with his knee, placing tiny kisses on my inner thighs and blowing his warm breath between my legs as I arch my hips towards his mouth. Oh this is definitely something different. I moan out his name as he continues to place light kisses on my thighs and then dips his head between my legs. That’s how the tongue ring feels down there. I had been wondering about its usefulness ever since I had caught the glint off of it the first night I met him. I was never letting him take that out. EVER.
The familiar tightening began as I moaned out to him and then I felt the sudden absence of his tongue before I felt his familiar weight slide back up my body before positioning himself over mine and gently pushing in. Yup this could definitely make me forget any aches and pains, even broken bones.
