“You need help undressing?” he whispered in her ear.

Standing in the center of the room, she nodded. His lips pressed against her neck as he lifted the bottom of her shirt and slowly inched it up. His tongue teased her neck while he took his time raising her shirt.

By the time he had it over her breasts, she was already weak in the knees. She lifted her arms, so he could pull it over her head. He kissed her neck and then leaned back to pull her shirt completely off of her.

The borrowed bra she was wearing was the next to go. He tried unhooking it. When he couldn’t figure it out, he ripped the offensive fabric from her body and let it drop to the floor. Good riddance.

“I’ll buy you another one,” he growled.

Fuck that bra,Sin thought as his arms came around her to cup her breasts. His thumbs grazed over her nipples. She arched into his touch.

“My beast likes the way you feel,” he whispered against her shoulder.

“What about you?” Sin asked.

“I love it.” Releasing her breasts, his hands trailed downward, over her stomach, the part of her that she was most self-conscious about.

“I’m not a small woman,” she found herself saying and immediately regretted it. Why was she allowing her past body image issues to pop up at a time like this?

“I’m not a small man,” he told her.

“But, you’re all muscle,” she pointed out.

“And you’re all mine. Every beautiful inch of you.” His hands dipped underneath the waistband of her pants.

“If you touch me there, I’ll never get around to taking a bath.”

“Yes ma’am,” he whispered before pulling her pants down.

She stepped out of them and stood before him, naked as the day she was born. There was that feeling of inadequacy that she always experienced when she was naked in front of a lover. She attempted to joke about it, to make herself feel better.

“I’m the only one naked. That just doesn’t seem fair,” she chuckled.

“You’re the only one about to bathe,” he replied.

Not the response she was looking for.

“Turn around,” he demanded.

She glanced over her shoulder. “I need to get into the tub.”

“I need to see you.”

Sin took a deep breath and faced him. His gaze slowly roamed over every inch of her. This wasn’t his first time seeing her naked. Still, the other times hadn’t felt like this time. This time was personal. This time was more special. This time she truly wanted him to like the way she looked.

“I never thought I’d find you,” he told her. “I damn sure never thought you’d be as beautiful as you are. When I look at you, I’m in awe of your beauty. I don’t deserve you. But I’m thankful you were able to find it in your heart to forgive me. I’m not perfect, mate. I never will be. But I promise to be good to you. I promise to cherish you. I promise to love you and let you know that you’re the most beautiful woman on any plane, for the rest of my days.”

Put your dick in my mouth right now, Sin thought. You deserve some head. All she said, however, was, “Thank you, Kaede.”

“You’re welcome, treasure. Now get into the tub, so I can bathe you.”

“Yes, sir.” When she stepped into the tub, she sighed as the heat of the water caressed her skin.

She sank into the tub. The water felt so freaking good. Kaede stood at the edge of the tub, looking down at her. His cock was standing at attention. Just as he started to lean down, a knock sounded at the door.

He lowered his head and groaned. She wanted to say fuck that door. But with all that was going on, she knew he had to go answer it. He sighed and looked to her. She could see the regret in his eyes.

“I have to go see who it is.”
