Aira.

"Wow... If someone had said I'd see this side of you, I would have laughed them off." I muttered, my fingers already reaching for the bindings on my dress.

He cocked his head to the side, a crooked smile on his face. "What? Am I not allowed to take care of my woman?" he asked, and I felt my cheeks grow warm.

"My woman." I didn't know what to say to that, so I just focused on undressing until I was standing bare in the room, bathed in the warm candlelight, the air around us suddenly too warm.

His intense gaze never left my body, and when I couldn't take it anymore, I headed straight to the tub and got in. I gasped as the water encased my legs, the surface rippling and scattering my reflection.

Surprisingly, the water was warm, and I realized I liked it that way. I slowly submerged into the warm water, resting my body at the edge of the tub while Kael sat across from me, his body slightly tense.

I bit my lip but refused to pull my gaze away from his, watching as the tension swelled and rose, no words spoken between us.

Once I was fully submerged, with just my head and knees sticking out, Kael stood to his feet, circling me like a predator would its prey, making my jittering heart pound even faster.

Then he settled behind me, armed with a washcloth and soap, and promptly began to wash me. Already set on edge, the act was both mortifying and intimate, not to mention erotic.

It didn't take long for me to get red all over, desire thrumming beneath my skin. Kael took his time, carefully washing my body, face, and hair, until I felt as helpless as a newborn babe, enjoying the experience but also craving so much more. He was e mean expert, targeting every erogenous spot on my body, dragging to me to the edge of my arousal, yet pulling away quickly before things got too heated. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore.

"Please, Kael. Join me," I cooed after a while, unable to tear my gaze from his body, my throat suddenly too parched. When he narrowed his eyes, I hastily added, "I want to wash you too. Undress and join me, please."

I begged, my voice too sultry. A glimmer of satisfaction crossed his eyes, but he blinked, and that mask of indifference was soon back on.

Putting aside the washcloths, he removed his clothes as well, stripping himself bare before sliding into the tub. The water overflowed, splashing to the ground, but I barely paid it any heed as I moved towards him, enjoying the way the water swirled around our bodies.

I was going to slam my lips against his, but he stopped me, passing me a fresh washcloth instead. "You said you wanted to wash me. Go ahead and do that first," he growled in a low yet authoritative voice.

I held my breath, staring quizzically at the outstretched washcloth before blankly accepting it. I carefully lathered it and proceeded to wash his body, feeling his muscles beneath the cloth.

Kael slid his eyes closed, throwing his head back in relaxation, the silence between us deafening.

Seeing him in this state was even more breathtaking. Kael was a truly handsome man who knew exactly what he was doing – turning me on and leaving me thirsty until I had to beg for him.

Not one to be outdone, I cleared my throat and began speaking. "Remember the time you ordered me to bathe you?" I said aloud.

Very slowly, after a while, Kael cracked his eye open, watching me. I was washing his chest, meeting his dark gaze with one of mine. Then, his lips curled into a smile.

"You wouldn't stop blushing," he muttered, and my cheeks burned brighter. I dipped the washcloth even lower, enjoying the way his muscles tensed and flexed.

I shrugged my shoulders, trying to look nonchalant. "It was a rather mortifying and erotic experience for me." I answered, purposefully ignoring his gaze.

"If I was the man I am now, back then, I would have taken you there and then," he growled. My fingers froze.

"Kael!" I snapped, hitting his chest as embarrassment filled me. "True. You wouldn't stop staring and licking your lips. Now that I think about it, your behavior was rather wanton."

I pulled away from him, frowning my lips in disdain. "Well, what else did you want me to do? I mean, you're easily the most handsome man I've ever met!"

The sly smile on his face grew. "Easily. You think I'm handsome?" he asked, cocking his head to the side.

I looked at him then, feeling a smile grow on my face, allowing all the love I felt to rush up to the surface. I made to answer him.

"I think you're magnificent," I muttered quietly, sincerely. He stared at me for a moment, then suddenly, I felt his hands on my waist as he pulled me closer to him, making sure I was straddling him, his arousal pressing against my lower belly.

Then, he kissed me. Hard.

The kiss was passionate, rough, filled with a stark hunger that was never reflected in his demeanor before. My body immediately went liquid and before I knew it, I'm grabbing unto him, the embers that had been smoldering all day growing into a full blaze at his body on mine.

I'm almost whimpering, pleading for him to fill me. He finally let's go of my lips, trailing kisses down my jawline, my neck, my shoulders, till he's at the swell of my breasts. I pulled away to watch him caress and knead them, tweaking the nipples between his thumb and fingers, a sharp sensation zinging all through my body from the act. My back arched and I caught myself grinding my hips against his knees, needing more contact.

"Kael... " I moaned in a soft whisper, need and desire filling my voice. He let go of my breasts then, sliding his hands to my buttocks and squeezing them firmly, I gasped. Eyes dark with want, he gazed at me.
