Chapter 101 Calm Before The Storm

Evelyn

"What's on the agenda for tonight? I surely don't want to spend the whole day locked in the apartment," I asked, blowing bubbles into the warm, enveloping water while our bodies stayed submerged. The sensation of his body against mine was nothing short of delightful.

He started to reply, but I interrupted, "Don't you dare say 'sex.' You haven't whisked me away anywhere nice yet."

A small chuckle escaped him before he planted a kiss on my shoulder, our fingers entwined. "Do you truly believe it's just sex that occupies my thoughts? Perhaps I've got plans already brewing. Couldn't that possibly happen?"

"I won't deny the possibility of plans, but I'm convinced that sex is the main course of your mind. All the fucking time."

"Shall I disprove that theory by taking you out tonight, or would you rather I confirm it by fucking you here in the bathtub? You're still a little tender down there, aren't you?" His hand slid between my thighs, and gasped, instinctively clenching them together to evade his teasing touch, "Would that be your preference? Get fucked or be proved wrong?" He whispered, causing goosebumps to prickle my skin, while a blush painted my cheeks.

"You... you and your sneaky little hands," I attempted to assert, striving for strength in my voice but my stutter didn't help.

"Little? What about my hands makes you think they're small, darling?" He chuckled, taking my left hand and pressing it against his right one, which had been idly toying with my fingers. Compared to his hand, mine seemed diminutive-my fingers barely reaching halfway up his, and my palm... well, it was a subject I dared not dwell upon.
