Pete tried not to pout, but he knew better.
“Did you get stuff we need to eat for supper or can we be lazy and order?”Bay asked.
“Oh, let’s be lazy.”He was exhausted, and he still had to watch the kids for a few more hours.It wasn’t like hot dogs and chili wouldn’t keep until tomorrow.
“I was hoping you’d say that.Let me put in a couple hours, then I’ll join you and we’ll figure out what we want to order.”Bay bent and gave him a quick peck before heading down the hall to his office.
He wound up following, and he peeked in Bay’s bathroom.“You doing okay, sweetie?”
“Uh-huh.Just ‘alaxin’, Petey.This is so nice.”
He knew exactly what she meant.And maybe they ought to let her have this quiet moment on a regular basis.Let her relax.It would probably be good for her.
“Holler if you need me.”He went to make himself a cup of tea.
And if he spent most of the time imagining him and Bay in the tub together, well that was between him and his imagination.
ChapterFifteen
The kids were all in bed and Bay was in the bathroom, waiting for Pete to join him.They were going to have a bath together.He hadn’t had a bath since he was a kid, but Pete seemed pretty keen on it, so he was willing to give it a go.
Hell, Pete had even cleaned all the glitter out of the tub.That was love.
He put the plug in and started the water.He didn’t know if there was going to be bubble bath or not.He just hoped if Pete brought something to put in it, that it wasn’t glittery.
“I found a little foaming bathbomb.Orange scented.”
“Oh, that sounds okay.So how does this work?We put it in and then get in ourselves?”He didn’t know if a bath bomb exploded or just added bubbles like the kids’s bubblebath.
“We run the tub, get in, and put it between us.”Pete winked at him.
“You’re the bath boss.”He began stripping off his clothes.
“It used to be one of my favorite pastimes.Warm and wet relaxation.”
“I’m looking forward to seeing if I agree.”He stepped into the tub at one end and let his legs fall open so Pete had room to sit across from him.
Pete stripped and slipped in, his legs over Bay’s thighs.Then he handed the bathbomb over.“Bombs away!”
“Just drop it in, eh?”Bay let go of the ball and it hit the water, bouncing a little before sinking, leaving a trail of orange bubbles behind it.
It was fizzy and fascinating, and he could see why the kids loved them so.
“It feels weird against my skin.”Not bad, just different.A little ticklish.
“Fun, huh?It’s like bathing in a soda pop.”Pete wiggled around and smiled at him, so obviously happy.
He chuckled and reached out to slide his hands along Pete’s legs.He had to admit, this was relaxing and sexy at the same time.
“Oh, this is so nice.I love this, being in here with you.”Pete sounded utterly overjoyed.
“I’m glad we’re doing it, then.”Sometimes Pete was incredibly easy to make happy.
“Me too.”Pete reached out, massaging one of his feet, thumbs rubbing over the sole.
“Oh… that’s nice.”He let his head fall back and enjoyed the massage.
“Mmhmm.You’re amazing.”
