Chapter 366: Just proximity
The water in the tub was just lukewarm, rippling lightly as her fingers breached its surface.
Well, the little of it that Arabella managed to distinguish among the layer of soap bubbles that covered it whole.
"Is it too warm or too cold perhaps?" Silas’s voice came from behind her, but it did not come alone.
No, indeed, it brought the rustling of fabric along as he undressed which rendered Arabella utterly rigid in her stance.
"It’s just perfect," she squeaked.
When all was said and done, the quiet returned... Deafening, ensuring her heart was heard from miles away.
"Now, where did all of that confidence go again?"
"I am afraid I have no control over it," she chuckled awkwardly, internally begging her cheeks to cool down.
No more words were exchanged between them. None were needed for his warmth spoke louder and better than any could ever communicate his intentions.
Against her back it collided before wrapping her being, indicating just how close he stood behind her.
His hands slowly slid on her shoulders, allowing his fingers to knead at her flesh as they gently massaged them.
Soon after that, however, they slipped down, in front of her, past her breasts which he barely grazed only to stop at the knot that sealed the bathrobe around her.
Silas took his sweet time to undo the tie before taking the fabric off of her, exposing her body once anew.
But despite the fresh breeze that came through the window to caress her naked skin, nothing seemed to help quell the sizzling heat emanating off her.
No steam escaped her pores just yet, but that promised to come.
However, instead of taking it down a notch, the vampire leaned against her back, connecting their then utterly bare bodies together.
Right at that moment, there was not a shred of fabric keeping them apart. Not even the thinnest bit of it.
No, his cock was right up against her back; hard, hot and fully erect.
Her breath hitched in her throat as shivers took over her entirely. With no wits left, her brain couldn’t interpret whether his member was that blistering hot or so freezing cold that it burned her soft skin.
"Stand up," although phrased like an order, his tone had nothing of one.
Once he stood back to give her space, Arabella lifted her bottom off of the tub’s edge she’d been using as a seat, but she kept on facing the window instead of him.
There was no contact until something came to tickle her ass. Something hot and quite thick that wrenched even more shudders out of her.
"Please, my love. Face me," he whispered.
After some reluctance, Arabella turned around only for the tip of his cock to meet her lower abdomen, right above her pussy.
That whole time, she fought against her urges in order to keep her eyes on his chest. As breathtakingly sculpted as it was, it still barely served as a distraction from what hung beneath it.
"You know, you can take a peek," he grinned, his eyes sharp and brilliant, "It won’t bite,"
Although, upon her first peep at his cock, the only question that had leaped to her mind was, how in the world was all of that going to fit inside her when one single finger hurt enough?
The next thought that popped after that was the realization that it looked quite similar to human male genitalia even though, she cared very little for biology as the most notable characteristic about it was that it stood on its own, decorated with the protruding, plump veins that spread all over it beneath the layers of skin covering them.
Full of fervent blood they were, painting that area of his body with a deeper shade of red.
That on its own stood as a clear testament as to how hungry and ready for action it was, but the true sign of impatience lived at its very tip, where beads of glistening juice pushed through the small and only hole on it, all to prepare the scene for what his body craved the most in that moment.
"You may touch it as well," his finger ran across her chin, "It won’t burn you... That much," he still had that same grin as before. Only, it had grown wider.
She extended a shy hand that lightly grazed it at first. With her index, Arabella wiped at the leaking juices that threatened to drip along before taking a hold of its head then, very slowly, moving down to the... Trunk until her hand connected with the soft sack of skin that dangled underneath his cock.
The pulsating of those veins against her grasp made her own heart run faster than it already did.
Silas’ mind left their realm and flew far above what reality allowed. The man did not fight the wave of pleasure that swept him off the ground. On the contrary, he shut his eyes, taking deeper and longer breaths in then out.
"You have barely breathed a word since we got here. I am dying to know what goes through your mind right this moment,"
His words effectively snapped her out of the daze that had consumed her, "To be completely honest with you...," she bit down on her bottom lip, eyes straight on his cock, "I simply can’t fathom how all of this is going inside me,"
In reply, Silas smiled warmly before suggesting they go in the tub.
He dipped his feet in the water first then offered her an inviting hand which she took without hesitation.
The couple took the same position they usually sat in on their bed with Silas holding her to his chest while lovingly rubbing at her tender skin.
"I won’t risk attempting our first time under water. That is, of course, if you still wish there to be a first time between us," he leaned forward to make eye contact.
"Yes!" the answer came with no delays.
"Good," he kissed her shoulder, "That is good," after a short moment of silence, new words rose to his mouth, "Would you mind it if I sat with you while you take your breakfast?"
"Not at all," she shook her head, "I’d love your company then and even after that. Unless you are leaving the manor," she looked up at him.
"No, I am not going anywhere today. I will simply write back to Morgana and see if we could take some of her time today," his eyes then drifted away to a faraway land, "I was thinking that perhaps, after the auction we could take some time away from everything and everyone...,"
"That is a wonderful idea," her smile brightened her entire face and with it, his world.
"There is a place that’ll be a perfect fit for the occasion, but!" he quickly exclaimed when noting the stars in her eyes, "I’d like to keep the location a secret for now,"
