The bath was as hot and soothing as he’d hoped, but it didn’t last long. Maeve was asleep in his arms almost before they settled into the water, her breasts soft mounds against his chest as she turned to her side and wrapped an arm around his ribs. He remained in the water past the time her breathing took on the slow rhythm of sleep, enjoying the peace and affection of the moment.

Too soon, however, the water began to cool, and rather than disturbing her to run fresh water and reheat it, he slid his arms under her and stood. Water splashed over the sides, adding more to the puddle when he stepped carefully out of the tub with her in his arms. She murmured wordlessly, wrapped one arm over his shoulder, and settled back to sleep. His arms tightened as he shifted her higher on his chest, needing to hold her closer, to keep her safe. And when he dipped his chin to inhale the fresh scent of her hair, his heart clenched painfully. He’d never loved anyone the way he did her. She’d somehow slipped beneath his guard and shone a sweet, warm light on his black soul, bathing the shriveled thing in life.

“I’ll keep you safe, Mae,” he whispered against her sleeping cheek.

“Mmm-kay,” she surprised him by whispering back, though her eyes never opened. “And I’ll keep you safe, too.”
