The Royal Contract

Chapter 724: From heaven to hell and back

Alex had to take a late-night phone call at his office. Something came up that needed his immediate attention. They had been trying to reach him, but he had switched his phone off in the cinema, forgetting to turn it back on, not until they had arrived home.

He guessed Dani would be taking a shower by now. He would have joined her if not for the issue he had to deal with at the moment. But he hoped he could resolve it quickly, wanting to follow his wife in a long warm bath.

“Call me again if there is any more problem.” He instructed the man on the other line.

His phone call took longer than he wanted. By the time he reached their bedroom, he believed Dani probably would be finished by now. But she was not yet in their room, and the lights from the bathroom were still bright.

He assumed that she was waiting for him. Quickly, he dropped his coat on the armchair by the door and pulled out his tie, not caring where it fell anymore. Then, he started unbuttoning his sleeves and the top of his shirt.

“Dani,” Alex called her, but the music in the room and the water splashes must have muffled his voice.

He slowly walked further into the bedroom, dropping the shirt he was wearing on the bed. Then, he gradually strode to the bathroom. When he opened the door slightly, he found Dani in front of the mirror.

.....

The warm shower was still running, but she was staring at herself in the moist-covered mirror. It looked like she wiped some of the portions to clear a spot so she could look at her face, but the rest was just a blur.

“Dani,” Alex spoke softly, stepping closer to his wife, who abruptly turned to him when she realized she was not alone anymore.

But as always, he was mesmerized by her beauty as he walked further inside the smaller room. When her arms wrapped around his neck and her eyes gazed into his, he knew there was nothing else he wanted to do but to cradle her in his arms.

Then, his lips gradually touch her lips, gently as if testing her taste. He loved the slight wetness of her soft lips. It contrasted with his dry and rough ones.

He slightly bit her lower lip, teasing her. Then, when she took the bait and leaned forward, it was his signal. He took her in a more intense, passionate kiss.

“You did not wait for me.” He accused her, pulling her closer to his body, loving how her wet skin had cooled down his body.

Then, he felt her hands as they skillfully undo his pants, letting them fall on the already wet floor. But he realized that he still had his shoes on.

Slowly lifting his wife, he placed her on the counter as he leaned on the tiled wall to remove his shoes and the rest of his clothes. But his eyes never left his wife, who was busy admiring him on the other end.

“You took too long, but I can shower again with you if you want. I can scrub your back.” She offered instead as her eyes feasted on his naked body.

His fantasy was no match to the real one, longing to touch her again under the palm of his hands. It took him a lot of control to stop from ravaging her inside the theater.

“That is a nice proposal, but I am thinking of something else.” Instead of moving towards hers, he moved to the shower and turned it off. Then, he stepped to the other side of the room to the tub and started filling it with warm water.

“That would work too.” She remained sitting on the counter as she watched him, but she felt a slight chill as her body remained wet without anything to cover herself.

“Miss me that much.” Noticing her body trembling, he immediately enveloped her in his warmth as his arms moved around her waist, pulling her closer to him in a tight embrace.

Then, he lifted her off the marble surface into his waiting arms, carrying her to a tub half-filled with water and its fragrance wafting in the air. He knew how much she loved that lavender scent.

“Yes, very much.” She responded, wrapping her arms around his neck, not wanting to let go. Not that she was afraid of falling, but she loved how their body always stayed connected.

Just when she thought he would immerse her in the water, he entered the tub and sat down on the bottom of the flooring, submerging their bodies together while she lay on top of him.

She always felt one with him when they were together like this. As if nothing in this lifetime could ever separate them. She wished that would always be the case as they entered another segment of their lives.

“Is it warm enough?” He asked as his hands started playing with the water, scooping it on his palms and then letting them drip down on her shoulders.

He knew that it would tickle her collar bones but create a sensation, making her want more. It was a few things he had discovered about her in their journey as a married couple.

“It is more than warm enough.” Her hands slightly glided on his well-chiseled arms, then her fingers explored and played with the few sprinkles of hair covering his chest.

“That slightly tickles,” Alex complained as chuckles escaped his lips. But she continued in her ministrations as he also did with his.

Then, slowly his fingers touched her chin, gently forcing her face to look into his. “I forgot. I promised to scrub your back.” Dani mumbled as their faces moved only inches apart.

“That could wait.” He replied, letting his lips take what he believed was his. And she let him, savoring the warmth of his breath as it mixed with hers.

There was nothing more passionate than two people sharing their trust, respect, and love for one another. He believed that she would follow him wherever he wished to take her, even if they had to go from heaven to hell and back.
