of her lip as Joey’s breasts were revealed to her. A normal person would take their own clothes off and slip into the bath, but Becca was transfixed as she watched Joey slide her underwear down her legs, leaving her naked and gorgeous. She’d never tire of that visual. Joey felt the water and stepped into the tub, piling her blond hair on top of her head with a clip from the shelf behind her.
“You coming?” Joey asked with a smile.
Becca grinned and removed her clothes as Joey watched from the tub, her arms stretched out across the back of it like she owned the place, which she actually did. Becca eased herself into the tub across from Joey, closing her eyes at the feel of the extra-hot water caressing her skin. The tub was big enough for the both of them, but just, which made it perfect. Becca dangled her wineglass outside the tub and rested her neck on the curved porcelain behind her. “If you’d told me this is what I’d be leaving work for, I’d have been here much sooner.”
“I wasn’t about to cut the opening short for you. It was a big day, and I figured you should enjoy it. Count the money. Laugh maniacally.”
Becca shook her head at Joey’s ribbing of The Jade. The tone of it had progressed over the weeks from hostile to tense to playful, and Becca now welcomed the digs and even gave some back. “We can’t all stomp fruit with our feet for cash.”
“Touché,” Joey said and slid her leg along Becca’s. A pause. “You do realize that’s not actually how the grapes are crushed here, right?”
Becca laughed. “Yes, but it’s disappointing. You have such cute feet.”
Joey wiggled her toes along the surface of the water, which seemed to give her an idea. As Becca sipped her near-perfect glass of wine, Joey pulled Becca’s right foot into her lap beneath the water and went to work on it. Becca took a deep inhale as muscles all over her body began to kick loose. She had no idea she’d wound up so tightly, but the pressure points Joey expertly accessed on the bottom of her foot proved otherwise. “Did you go to school for this? Never mind. You should open a school. Joey’s Professional Heaven Sending. That’s what you’ll call it.”
“I could. Naming it that might give the wrong impression of the type of service I’m offering, but you’re the business executive,” Joey said with a wink.
“Scratch that. You’re forbidden to call it that. It’s now called Get a Foot Massage Here.”
“Oh, much more straightforward. I like it.”
“But maybe those heaven sending services can be set aside for special clients.”
“Even better.” Joey’s eyes met Becca’s and darkened, signaling her mind had traveled somewhere hot. Becca loved that she could read her so easily now. She took another sip of wine and let the flavors settle on her tongue. Wine made her feel sexy. Drinking it on a vineyard only amplified the effect. Drinking wine on a vineyard while in a bathtub with Josephine Wilder took it out of the realm of modern measurement.
“I want to do things to you,” Becca said, simply.
Joey blinked and her lips parted.
Becca nodded. “I’m planning on it.”
Joey attempted a smile but never quite made it there. She shifted her position as if uncomfortable, another tell that her body was already responding. Becca knew she could affect Joey with just her words. She’d seen it happen. She drank from her glass and stared hungrily at the tops of Joey’s round breasts, bathed in bubbles. Every now and then she caught a glimpse of a nipple.
“I want to make you come,” Becca said. “Give you pleasure.”
Joey shook her head. “You’re supposed to be relaxing, you know.”
“I can’t actually think of anything better, though. Sitting in a bathtub with you might be the highlight of my year.”
“Well, who am I to argue how to end your day?”
The water that had felt amazing was almost too hot now, the bathroom full of steam. Joey must have felt it, too. She downed the last of her wine and left the glass on the shelf behind her. She stood, revealing her body, her curves, wet and pink from the tub. Becca let her exit and open the door to allow the steam to escape. She allowed herself the luxury of watching Joey towel off for only a moment before she joined her at the sink, where she took the clip out of
