140 Caring For Her

When he pulled away from Emma, they were both breathless. 

"This is how you purge negativity?" she said in a teasing voice, her face flushed. 

He lowered her inside the hot water of the tub and stripped her naked. "Yes, this is the best way," he replied. He stripped himself and entered. Pulling her in his lap, he just sat down inside the hot water that was full of swirling fragrant water with herbs and flowers floating on the surface. He let out a heavy sigh, closing his eyes as his muscles relaxed in response to the heat. He rested his head on the edge of the tub. "Emma…" he murmured her name and she reclined on him, her head resting on his chest.
