I hold Rachel in my arms for a long time afterward, just stroking my hand up and down over her skin, her head resting against my chest. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. This feeling—this fucking euphoria—is better than any multi-million-dollar business deal I’ve ever closed. We’ve turned a corner, she’s finally letting me in. I’ve never made love like that with a woman before. All those previous fucks in my life mean nothing compared to what I feel when I’m with Rachel, and I have never had sex without a condom before—ever. Knowing she hasn’t either but wanted to with me—I feel like I’ve won at the fucking game of life.

“As much as I could stay here forever, shall we take a shower?” I ask, pressing a kiss against the top of her head.

“No, a bath.” She wraps her arm around my waist tighter. “I love taking a bath.”

I smile; a bath it is.

Once she’s filled it with more bubbles than I’ve ever seen in my life, Rachel announces the bath is ready, and I watch her petite frame slide in underneath the water, a small, contented sigh escaping her lips as the water comes up around her. Her nipples are covered by foam—much to my disappointment.

“It’s a good job we designed this suite with giant bathtubs,” I say as I step into the hot water and sink down behind her. She moves forward so that I can position my legs around her, and then she lowers herself back against my chest as I relax against the side.

I could get used to this.

“It’s almost like you knew I’d be here one day,” she jokes, sounding the most relaxed I’ve ever heard her.

“If I knew that, I would have spent every day since we met walking around with a permanent hard-on in anticipation,” I reply dryly.

Her back moves against my chest as she laughs.

“So, why do you like baths so much?” I dip my head down to the side so I can press a kiss to her temple.

She blows out a long breath.

“You know I told you I didn’t have any family?” she says after a long pause.

“Yeah.” I stroke her arms under the water, marveling at how her skin is like silk against my palms.

“Well, I had a mom once, obviously. But she died when I was a baby, and because I never knew who my father was, I grew up in foster care.”

I continue stroking her arms, not wanting to let the intense reaction go that’s threatening to spill out of me.

My beautiful Snow.

“You didn’t exactly get a minute to yourself to relax in the bath, there was always someone hammering on the door for their turn, and that’s if you were lucky enough to have a lock on the door. I always knew that I wanted it to have a nice bathroom when I had my own house. Somewhere I could spend hours, soaking in peace if I wanted to.”

“That’s why you lit up when you saw the roll-top bath at Rich’s—I mean your house now.
