it soft and slow, love.”
My eyes want to fill at the thought of this being our last time, so I close them and bite my lip as he begins to move in long, slow strokes.
“You are simply breathtaking,” he whispers. “Open your eyes, Charlotte.”
I comply, relieved that the tears have passed and now I’m simply caught up in him, his body, his voice, his incredible eyes.
“You are amazing,” I say and cup his face in my hands. You’re so much more than the sex. But I don’t say it, I just kiss him and am caught up in this unbelievable wave of lust and affection, and before long I have the most intense orgasm of my life.
“Fucking hell,” he groans against my lips and falls apart with me. We hold each other tightly for a long moment, and then without a word, he rises from the bed and walks into the bathroom. Before long, I hear the bathtub start and he comes back into the room wrapped in a robe and holding a smaller one out to me. “Follow me.”
“Now you want me to be modest?” I ask with a laugh, but he just smiles.
“Trust me.”
I do.
I shrug into the robe and follow him into the bathroom. The tub is filling with a delightful aroma of lilacs.
“There aren’t any bubbles.”
“It’s oil, not bubble bath,” he replies, but turns to me. “Would you prefer bubbles?”
“No, this is great. It smells wonderful.”
“Have a seat.” He points to the vanity chair, and I comply. “Face the mirror.”
“You’re terribly bossy.”
He just cocks a brow, and I do as he asks. He moves up behind me and brushes my hair out as we wait for the tub to fill. I haven’t had anyone else brush my hair since I was a child.
Well, my hairdresser doesn’t count.
“You’re good at that,” I comment.
“You have pretty hair,” he replies. When it’s brushed thoroughly, he pulls it up into a knot on top of my head. “There, it won’t get wet.”
He’s so thoughtful.
He takes my hand and leads me to the tub. He opens the belt and parts the robe, and lets his hands duck inside to tease my breasts and glide down my sides before slipping my robe off my shoulders.
He hangs it on the hook behind him, then turns and helps me into the tub.
“Oh, this is nice.”
“Is it too warm?”
“No, it’s perfect.” I sink down and let out a deep sigh of contentment. We’ve had a lot of sex this weekend. That coupled with the walks around the lake and my muscles are weary.
This bath is exactly what I needed.
I close my eyes and lean back, listening to Simon bustle about the room, and the next thing I know, he’s lathered up a washcloth and is dragging it over my body.
My eyes fly open to find him sitting on the vanity chair at the side of the tub, still in the robe.
“You’re not joining me?”
“No, this is just for you.”
I don’t understand him. I’ve never known anyone so selfless. It almost makes me feel guilty, and that’s something I’m going to have to think about later.
“You’re good with a washcloth.”
His lips twitch as his eyes follow his hand over my body.
“Tell me about the scars on your arm,” I say.
“I already did when we were hiking.”
“No, you told me the Cliffs Notes version.”
He scowls, but he begins talking.
“My ex-wife was a difficult woman.”
Ex-wife? I had no idea he’d been married.
“I won’t get into all of her issues, because I’m enjoying this time with you and I don’t want to fuck it up. The gist of it is, I found her fucking a friend of mine—”
I gasp.
“And when I told her that I’d be filing for divorce, she went crazy. Attacked me, and managed to drag her nails down my arm before I got her off of me.”
“Holy shit, Simon.”
“That was a while ago.”
“When?”
He stops washing me and looks in my eyes. “Three years.”
“Before all of this uber success?”
“Yes,” he says and sighs. “The success has really only happened in the past year or so. It was a surprise to me, honestly.”
“I told you last night, you have a good product, and a handsome package. I know, I’ve seen it.” I grin, and he tweaks my nipple as punishment.
“Cheeky girl.” He grins. “What I mean is, it happened fast. I went from giving small workshops in London to large seminars in the US, TV appearances, my own radio show, a bestselling book, and more.”
