Savoring our night

After calming down and catching our breath, Rumi and I spent a few more minutes in the bathtub to enjoy the soothing warmth with the girl slotted perfectly within my embrace.

"Thank you, Ruki," Rumi whispered, her voice filled with contentment and happiness.

"You don't have to thank me, you know? I love you... And this night is for you." I whispered along with a gentle kiss on her forehead as we both relaxed in the tub, my arms around her as she leaned into me. We enjoyed the silence and the warmth of the water, letting the stress of the day melt away.

Once we were done, I once again acted as a diligent boyfriend, serving her out of the tub and wrapping her up in a warm towel. Her eyes were half-closed, a satisfied smile painted on her lips as she leaned on me while I carefully dried her up. Then, I carried her back to her bedroom.

When we saw the stains we left behind earlier, Rumi embarrassedly buried her face into my neck. "I guess we really did make a mess."
