The redhead sat up, stretching her arms high above her head as the soft, white cotton sheet rode lower on her hips. Pushing the sheet off she stood stretching, making her way towards the huge bathroom, feet hitting the cold tile making her shiver. She used the bathroom then made her way over to the sink washing her hands and splashing warm water on her face. It had been a long few weeks for her, the loss of her twin had nearly shattered her. Jesse had come into the world three minutes before her so she was lucky enough to have never known a time without her brother.
Her breath still caught in her throat at the thought of a world without his goofy smile, loving hugs, and easy going attitude. It was okay, in his last moments he had given her a gift far more precious than any material item. He had transferred his magics to her and it helped her knowing that, that spark of him still lived on within her. He had known before anyone else that his end was coming, he had the gift of sight along with his magics and looking back now she could see the little hints he was dropping trying to get her ready for his death and the things that were to come. Although his gift of sight didn't become hers, she was thankful for that. Some things were not meant to be known, she didn't know if she'd be able to handle knowing when her own time was up.
Looking towards the bath she decided to make use of its luxury and filled the tub overflowing with foaming bubbles, switching on a jet she stepped into the rushing water. It felt heavenly, she'd never experienced luxury like this. Dunking her head back into the water she held her breath, water drowning out all of the outside world for her for just a moment; allowing for her to just relax in that peaceful moment. She would have time to grieve for her friends when she the three of them were safe. She thought of Beth and her sparkling blue eyes, early weekend mornings spent wandering through thrift shops hunting for long-forgotten treasures; making up stories about the items past. David making her laugh over his horrible jokes, his terrible dance moves, and long nights spent gorging on junk food while sharing secrets while camping in the back yard.
Tears mixed in with the bubbles and water as she sat up taking a deep breath, there would be time to grieve later. Right now she had other things she needed to have her mind on, the journey ahead of them would be long and fraught with perils unknown; I mean sure she and her group knew about the zombies but what else had survived as clearly humans with no magical ability to help save them did not.
She started looking at the bottles lining the tub searching for shampoo, finally finding one that didn't smell too girly she lathered her hair and dipped it back into the water letting the suds float around her face. When she was little she would pretend to be a mermaid when she was in the tub. Sitting up she reached over grabbing a bottle of conditioner, applying the cream generously to her hair, she started soaping up her body with a creamy body-wash, looking towards the mirror she saw nothing in the room but steam. She felt his eyes on her.
"Need me to wash your back, Luv?" Will's husky voice asked as he hopped on the counter, the voyeur in him enjoyed watching her. A deep spike of longing and possession hit him in the chest as she looked up at him with hooded eyes, his mark on her neck. She nodded at his question, smiling as she handed him her foamy washcloth.
Jumping down he grabbed the white cloth, as she leaned forward giving him access to her back. He noticed the bruises marring her hips and back as he washed her, "You've got to tell me if I'm being too rough Red." She looked back at him lashes lowered, "I'm okay, it didn't hurt when it was happening." Blush starting at her checks, continuing down past her breast before his gaze followed its path hidden under the bubbles, he leaned her back kissing her gently. How she could still blush after all the things they had done together amazed the 250-year-old vampire, she still blushed as she had when she was a teenager unexperienced but eager to learn.
He deepened the kiss, using the white washcloth to caress her neck slowly moving the rough fabric towards her breast massaging the sensitive skin, squeezing her til she gasped into his mouth. Using the fabric as a barrier slowly stimulating her, he leaned back watching her eyes as they glaze with passion as he switched to the other side, "Do you like that Pet?"
Dropping the offending washcloth into the tub at her nod he trailed his fingers against her stomach, hand going lower into the water, he watched as she bit her lip in anticipation. "Let go of that lip Star before I bite it, I want to hear you." He leaned in kissing her as she let him, lip slid between her teeth, his mouth capturing her moan as his fingers found her nether lips gently and knowingly working her into a fevered state. He pulled back from her lips watching her head thrash as she got closer to her release chanting his name like a prayer. He plunged two fingers into her tight channel working her clit with his thumb when she let out a keening wail, body tightening around is digits as she rode out her orgasm. He leaned in kissing her forehead before moving to her lips, "Just like that Luv, I love how you say my name." She leaned over pulling at his shirt before he stopped her, "Later Luv, you need to finish bathing. I'll see you in the kitchen." He smirked at her before grabbing a towel for her and drying his hand and arm off.
