“How can I say no to that? I’ll start you a bath in my room, then make you some tea. What would you like to eat? Something quick like pasta? Or perhaps some chicken? I could order something? Whatever you’d like.” As long as I could get some nourishment in her, she could have anything she desired.

“I think I’d like some pasta. Thank you.” She smiled, though there was a haunted look in her eyes.

“My pleasure.” I would happily feed her dinner in the tub and wash her just right.

I extracted myself from the window seat and went to my bathroom where I started the bath, setting it to shut off automatically when full, hoping I got the temperature correct.

It wasn’t a giant bathtub but would fit the two of us fine–if she wished for me to join her.

I put on some soft music, lit candles, placed a bath pillow, and added some of the bubble bath I’d gotten for her, as well as set out a silky robe that I’d originally bought for this week.

Grabbing some of my fluffiest towels, I put them on the towel bar and set it to warm.

Going downstairs to the kitchen, I started the tea and the pasta and defrosted some chicken. I’d make her something warm and comforting. When I brought the tea upstairs, I found the bathroom dark except for the flicker of the candles, and Grace neck-deep in the bubbly tub, eyes closed.

“Spence, this is amazing,” she whispered. “Thank you.”

“My pleasure. I brought you some tea.” I set the cup of tea and a glass of water on the large flat edge of the tub. Maybe I should get her one of those bathtub trays. I placed a kiss on her cute freckled nose. “I must run back to the kitchen, but I’ll return.”

I finished making us food–orzo pasta with lemon, chicken, feta, spinach, and tomatoes. Putting two bowls and silverware on the tray, I added a glass of wine for myself and a beer for her, and more water.

“That smells amazing.” Her eyes opened as I walked in. “You brought me a beer.”

I sat down on the rug in front of the tub. “Did you finish your tea and water?”

She drained the mug, finished the water, and held out her hand. “Beer me, please.”

I handed her the beer. “I probably shouldn’t, due to whatever drugs they injected you with. But you’re an adult, don’t seem to have a concussion, and seem like you could use one.”

Getting a forkful of pasta, I held it out to her. She opened her mouth like a baby bird and allowed me to feed her.

Grace closed her eyes as she swallowed. “This is amazing, you’re such a good cook. I…” She frowned, opening her eyes. “Everything is so foggy and muddled, but in a different way from before.”

“I’m just beyond relieved that you’re home.” I took a bite for myself.

“Um, I almost didn’t get to come home. I don’t remember why. Though I wasn’t in trouble.” Her chest shook.

“Do you remember why they took you? Or how you ended up here in the first place?” I fed her some more. If she wasn’t in trouble why did they take her?

She rubbed her forehead. “Ow. I… I don’t think I’m supposed to remember.”

“Which makes sense. If you remember anything, or just want to talk, I’m here. But it’s nothing that we need to discuss tonight, unless you wish. Have another bite.” I offered her another forkful.

“Mmmm. So good.” She made a happy noise, which went right to my cock.

“Here, have more.” I needed her to eat.

Grace took the offered bite and looked around. “How did I get here?”

“The agent that retrieved you brought you back. This time with a backpack?” I took a sip of wine. “Your phone is charging. I’m just glad you’re back. We… we thought we lost you.”

The fact that she was alive, well, and back with us was everything.

Her head bowed. “I didn’t mean to worry you.”

“That’s not what I meant. Relax and let me take care of you.” I fed her the rest of her dinner and finished mine.

Food eaten, I positioned myself on the edge of the tub, where I washed her hair, giving her a nice, long, head massage, carefully working in shampoo, then conditioner, followed by a hair mask.

“This is amazing.” She groaned.

“I’m glad you like it.” Certainly, I enjoyed pampering her. I finished rinsing her hair. “Would you like me to wash the rest of you?”

“As long as it involves you getting naked. I believe orgasms were promised.” She grinned at me, blue-grey eyes dancing.

“As you wish, Darling.” I removed my clothes, carefully sliding in behind her and settling her on my lap, my hard-on pressed against her. Because that was all for her.

She curled into me. “Mmmm.”

Taking the soap, I carefully soaped up the rest of her, scrubbing off the odd smells from wherever they brought her, washing away her fear, her tears.

The first time around was gentle, and more about getting her clean. The second, I lingered on her breasts, my fingers barely grazing her nipples as my mouth latched onto her throat.

Even though these weren’t the best of circumstances, I’d take my time with her. If anything, it was even more reason to. Her sweet body called me. As one hand toyed with her breast, my other hand cupped her pussy, and she gasped.

“Would you like me to touch you there?” I breathed in her ear.

“Oh, yes, please, Alpha,” she sighed, eyes closing, as I ran my fingers down her length, her hand running across my chest.

“Just lay back and let me care for you. Let go and feel.” I began to massage her clit with my fingers.

With my other hand, I slipped two fingers inside her, her body against me. Under the warm, bubbly water, my hands explored her, making her gasp in delight. Each little noise made me harder and harder, as I wanted to impale her with my cock.

But this wasn’t about me.

I continued to work her with my hands, bringing her to her peak. As she rode my fingers, my mouth got well acquainted with her neck and shoulders.

“Here…” I bit gently down on the place where her neck and shoulders met, where one of her scent glands was. “When it’s time for me to bite you, I think I’d like to bite you right here,” I whispered, as I made her climax again, three fingers now inside her.

“There?” she moaned, writhing on my lap.

“If you want it to be visible. It would look beautiful right there for everyone to see.” My kisses worked lower.

My hand left her clit and brushed her inner thigh. “Perhaps there if you don’t. I would lavish it with attention every time I went down on you.”

“Spence.” It came out as a gasp as she bucked in my arms. “You’d bond with me?”

Grace turned her head to face me, trailing my jaw with tiny kisses.

“Oh yes. Not today, but soon,” I murmured. Though if she keened for my bite today I’d give it to her. The desire to mark her coursed through me with ferocity.

Never had I thought I’d want to mark someone again, to be bonded emotionally like that. Until her. Just a couple of months and I was hers, heart and soul.

“Do you like the places I’ve chosen?” I withdrew my fingers from her as her body melted back into me.

“Mmmm. Yes, please.” Her hand settled around my cock, and it throbbed with her attention. “Alpha, I want your cock inside me.”

Alpha. How sweet it sounded on her lips.

Without waiting, Grace turned and slid herself on my cock, so she faced me, the water sloshing slightly with her movements. She stopped just shy of my knot, a scintillating moan escaping her lips.

“You feel so good. So nice and thick.” She sighed, resting her head on my chest.

“You feel amazing as well,” I groaned. “Ride me, Darling, take what you need. If you want my knot, have it when you’re ready–and if you’d rather wait, that’s fine, too.”

We had all night. I’d most definitely knot her before morning. Probably more than once.

I gripped her hips, urging her to go faster, as I ensnared her lips, kissing her deeply. My hands moved to cup her sweet ass, then ran up and down her back, loving her, supporting her as she worked herself and I toward the brink of pleasure.

“I want all of you,” she hummed. She rocked into me, running her tongue over my nipples, the water sloshing over the sides of the tub as we moved.

“Take it. Though once you do that, I’m not sure how much longer I’ll last.” Right now, I was staving myself off for her.

Her lips once again claimed mine, as she moved herself up the length of my cock, then impaled herself on me.

Holding her tight with my arms, I thrust myself the rest of the way in. She stretched around my knot, seating me deep inside her, joining our bodies together.

“Spence,” she cried. “I…” Grace came around my knot, and my own heat exploded inside her, filling her.

I pulled her to me, kissing the top of her head, as our bodies trembled together. It had been a long time since I’d knotted anyone. I felt so full, not just in the sense that I filled her, but in that my heart brimmed with love, my soul complete.

“That was so wonderful. You are perfect. Are you all right, Darling, do you want more?” I caressed her gently, peppering her with little kisses. We were knotted together but I could still please her. Softly, I rocked my pelvis against her clit to show her what I meant. She gasped, body shuddering.

“Please, Alpha, give me more,” she begged, the bathroom filling with the sweet smell of her arousal.

“Oh, you beg so sweetly, my good doctor,” I murmured. “I’ll gladly give it to you. I’ll give you everything.”
