Come Back to Me

Chapter 20: Present Day

When I opened my eyes, Joshua was in the bathroom, setting a tray on a small table next to the bath. I must have dozed off for a little while, but the water was still hot, so it hadn't been terribly long. He gave me a smile and lowered himself to the floor, stretching his long legs out in front of him and pulling the table alongside him.

"Hey, baby girl."

"Um, hey," I smiled back, blushing furiously. "I was expecting Noah?"

He grinned even wider."He's busy, so I happily volunteered to bring you food. You need it after what I just heard."

"Oh God." I wanted to sink into the bath and never come up.

"Don't be embarrassed. I can't think of anything better than to come home to the sounds of you coming. Even if it wasn't me making you scream."

"Did you know I was naked and in the bath?"

He laughed."Why do you think I volunteered?"

He pushed the tray of food closer to me, and I laughed when I saw it was full of cheeses, nuts, and fruits.

"What's so funny?"

"Noah said he was a great cook. This does not qualify as cooking!"

"Oh, well, if you don't want it -"

When he started to get up and make like he was going to take the food away, I grabbed his arm, sloshing the water from the tub enough to give him a great flash of my breasts. He stilled, eyes riveted to me. "If you want me to stay, you just need to ask. Although, flashing me will always work."

I flicked some water at him as he sat back down. "You did that on purpose."

"Stare at your tits? Um, yeah, of course I did."

"I think you're trying to get me riled up enough to stand and show you all the goods."

He shrugged and reached for a bottle of wine on the floor that I hadn't noticed. He set two wine glasses on the edge of the tub, those full lips of his twitching in amusement. "Is it working?"

"Not at all." And to punctuate that, I slipped a little further into the water, bubbles from my earlier lathering obscuring his view.

His face grew solemn as he poured the wine. "Best laid plans of mice and men," he muttered.

"Are you sure I should be drinking wine?" Eyebrow raised, I accepted the half-full glass he offered, loving the crisp coolness of the liquid as I took a sip. It was a light, slightly sweet white wine, which was perfect to pair with the fruit and cheeses he had brought up.

"Well, I'm sticking around this time so you won't have to polish off the bottle all by yourself."

"How chivalrous of you."

"Considering the way I was just eyeballing your breasts and thinking of how I can get my dick between them, I wouldn't say I'm feeling very chivalrous."

As if they knew he was talking about them, my nipples stiffened immediately, both visible above the water as I froze with my wine glass raised.

It took him a moment to recover, and then he waggled his eyebrows at me and held up a grape. "Noah said you're a fan of these."

I shook my head at him and reached for it, but he held it out of my reach. "Uh uh. There's a reason I chose the food that I did." When he extended his hand toward me, the grape between his fingers, I figured out pretty quickly what he meant.

When my lips parted to receive the piece of fruit, he grinned and very gently placed it on my tongue, his forefinger grazing my bottom lip as he pulled away. The grape tasted great, reminding me that I hadn't had anything to eat since that morning. Somehow, I kept myself from having another foodgasm, although I could tell he was waiting for it.
