"I'm going to bathe you, Lady Wolf, so that I can take you to Sanctuary and show you off to everyone."
How she wished she were as beautiful as he thought she was. It was so nice to be with someone who looked at her with rose-colored glasses.
Vane led her into the bathroom and turned the shower on. Once he had the water regulated, he opened the curtain and let her enter first.
Bride felt a bit awkward. She'd never bathed with a man before. But as Vane started soaping her body, her awkwardness vanished in a wave of hot desire for him.
He looked really good naked and wet, and his hands were incredible as they slid over every inch of her body.
"You're really talented," she said, her breath catching as he washed between her legs.
He kissed her gently as he dropped the washcloth and used his fingers to caress her.
"You're never satisfied, are you?" Bride asked as she felt him harden again. "Not where you're concerned." He pressed her back against the cool tile wall.
He lifted one of her legs up to wrap around his narrow waist before he slid into her.
Bride cried out in pleasure as he thrust against her. It wasn't until she came that she realized she had wrapped both legs around his waist and that he was supporting her full weight as he continued to thrust.
His hair was wet and dripping as he captured her lips. He buried himself deep inside, then shuddered.
Bride was only vaguely aware of the water's spray against her arms and legs as she watched Vane's face. Her wolf was beautiful when he came for her. He held her effortlessly while his body continued to shudder.
After he finished, she set her legs down as he withdrew from her.
He took a ragged breath, then turned around to face the water.
Bride impulsively pressed her front to his naked back.
Vane hissed at the sensation of his Bride against him. She wrapped her arms around his waist, sliding her hands over his body. "You keep doing that and we'll never leave this shower," he said huskily.
"Sure we will. It won't be much fun in here if the water turns cold."
"True."
Then to his delight she left him and picked up the washcloth to bathe him.
Bride had never done anything like this. It was actually a lot of fun to soap those magnificent muscles and to help rinse his body.
"You are decadent," she breathed.
He answered that with a smile and a kiss.
After they were finished, they left the shower. Bride thought they'd have to dress, but Vane surprised her by re-dressing them in the clothes they'd worn to her parents' house.
"How do you do that?"
Vane shrugged. "It's like breathing. I barely think about it and poof. It's magic."
"I wish you would warn me a bit before you do it. I'm still getting used to all this."
In order to please her he led her through the door and down the hallway to Fury's room. Vane knocked on the door.
"Yeah?" Fury called from inside.
Vane shouldered it open to find Fury with the dog on his bed. "We were heading over to Sanctuary. I was just wondering if you'd like to join us."
"Sure. Can Cujo come?"
