He stood there for a few extra seconds before he continued, "Do you want company?"

"As in you’re going to sit on the toilet company, or you're joining in company?" I had to ask the rather blunt question that would have made me groan at my cluelessness, but when it came to Kaito, I couldn't help but ask.

If it was Jax, Connor, or even Finnick, I knew what such words would lead to, but with everything that happened and being with Kaito, who normally didn't show as much affection as the others, I couldn't determine if he was moving us along the next step of our relationship.

"Joining you company," he whispered in confidence as his eyes stared down into mine. "I could use a calming bath. A bonus would be having you in it."

"There are pink bubbles," I muttered as my cheeks began to blush at the rather girly bubble bath that awaited us thanks to me using the Sailor Moon bath bomb Mia and Miya had gotten me as a mini birthday gift.

Today felt like the perfect time to enjoy one, especially with how sore my body was and my mental and emotional state needing some peace and quiet.

"I'm fine with pink." He winked. I nodded and moved from his hold to walk over to my dresser. Crouching down to open the bottom drawer, I retrieved a set of dark blue pajamas and walked back to the bed. "You can use these."

Kaito arched an eyebrow at them and reached over to inspect them. "They're exactly my size."

"Since Jax stays over often when I come over here during the holidays, I figured I’d get a few sets of pajamas for each of you so when you showed up to stay for the night, you'd have clothes," I confessed the tiny deed. "The hospital gave a bunch of hospital bandages, too. More than enough for both of us."

"Do your wounds still hurt?"

"A little," I admitted as he moved to stand behind me.

"Need help taking the bandages off?" The second half of his question was barely audible, but it made my insides flip as I bit my lip lightly and slowly nodded.

Neither of us moved for a solid moment, and I felt his finger trail along my shoulder before a soft kiss pressed to the right side of my shoulder. The action made me quiver, and I fought hard not to moan when he sucked the flesh very gently while his hands landed on my waist.

I was soon enveloped in his arms as he hugged me from behind, the two of us just standing there as if we had all the time in the world. This level of intimacy had to be a special gift of a sort, and it was hard to admit that I actually craved this without realizing it.

"Our bath is going to get cold," I muttered after who knew how much time had passed.

"You'd warm it up for us though," he whispered as a reminder. I'd forgotten we weren't on magic restrictions this time around, which was definitely helpful in comparison to the past.

"Ya," I replied and slowly turned my head to the side to see his expression that held a masked component to it. He was trying hard to hide his emotions, but I could feel his growing lust for me - those desires that were begging to be acknowledged and fed.

He was fighting it hard, but I noticed he was already inching closer while his eyes were beginning to close like mine - letting the magnetic pull of sexual tension pull us closer until our lips were pressed against one another's.

These apprehensive kisses held a different sort of affection. Though they were slow, the movement of our lips was solid and filled with a burst of emotion. It was like we didn't have a time limit over our heads; the night was still young and reserved just for us.

It was an experience that still held a newness to me; not because it was Kaito, but due to the perfect tranquil pace of it all. Little kisses, small sucks, and tiny bites tugged on my swollen lips.

No matter the amount of caution we took with each kiss, it still left us breathless until we had no choice but to break our long, intimate kisses.

We exchanged a look before I turned in his hold and we began to kiss again, a little faster than our previous kisses. His hands were moving, just like mine - roaming his extremely soft
