He had to feed his magic past his hands and wait until the entire tub was vibrating with it. He also had to change his eyes so that he could see it because if the tub wasn’t completely imbued with it, the spell would fail, and he might shatter it instead.

Being a difficult spell to do, he had to chant the words out loud. He didn’t need to yell, he just merely spoke them.

His arms pushed up when it grew, making it slightly taller and wider. It only changed in size by a small fraction, but he figured it would be suitable.

“There.” He gestured to it. “You may fill it now.”

Watching her fill it with water and then heat it with her own magic, it took longer than it usually did. Her witchcraft was just as weak as her body currently was.

He knew he’d made the right decision to make it bigger and join her when he saw she looked pale from doing so. She was even wobbly in the legs. It had taken some of the small amount of energy she’d gained.

After kicking off his pants, he slipped inside, and his muscles jumped when he felt heat wrapping around his waist.

I do not think I have ever had a warm bath before.He’d always dunked himself into cold streams and lakes.It appears to be quite relaxing.Already he could feel his body softening.

“Um, where am I meant to sit?”

He looked to her to find the tunic had already been removed, and she was covering her bare chest with one hand and her pubic mound with the other.

He blinked at the water. He thought the answer was obvious.

“On my lap, of course.”

Her face pinkened when she stepped inside between his legs and turned, coming to sit down on top of him. She was seated just above his pelvis, leaving the precious jewels of his groin unharmed.

With the size he made the tub and with her sitting on top of his body, the water came to just below her chest – where it usually came to when she was in it on her own.

She didn’t have as much leg room, though.

After she settled, her muscles un-bunching from nervousness, she began to relax in the water. Once she did, he flicked his forefingers and middle fingers of both hands up while the rest held the tub edges his arms leaned on top of.

“Now do the leg thing,” he commanded with a grin.

She turned her head to the side so she could look over her shoulder at him with a peek of humour. When she didn’t do it, just stared at him, he made an impatient gesture with his head that he was waiting.

With a sigh, that peek of humour pestering into a smile, she leaned back against him. Then up one of her legs went as she brushed her hands down the side of it to wipe what she could of the blood off them.

His eyes perused the length of it before she brought it down and did the other.

I think perhaps I may like bath time with her.He’d liked watching it from the outside, but it was far better when he was a part of it up close. He even brushed his own hand down her calf and thigh to help her, feeling her wet skin under his palm.

She had to wash the blood from her feet when they were submerged.

“I have dirtied the water.”

He didn’t care about the quality of the bathwater when he had this naked female on his lap in it. He brought his hands to her sides so he could cup liquid into his palms and brush them over her shoulders.

“I think we need a bigger tub,” he answered.

He wanted to do this again, but with a little more freedom to move. His chest was broad, his muscles strong. He took up a lot of the room.

With a small laugh, she shook her head like she couldn’t understand him. Rurik hissed in a quiet breath as her core rubbed against his already hardened shaft when she leaned forward to wash her face.

He made no mention of it when she came back up to lean against him and her shoulders lost all their tension.

“I feel much better now.”

They stayed in the tub just to soak in the relaxing heat together.
