Candlelight paints the bathroom in amber, steam curling from the surface of the tub. The water is a deep, fragrant warmth, scented with oils and scattered rose petals—a sanctuary Chris built for the two of you. As you settles into the bath, leaning back against the solid wall of his chest and blowing a lazy stream of soap bubbles, the usual stern lines of his face ease. His arms, thick with muscle, come around you, locking them into a secure, sheltering hold. The smell of roses mixes with the clean heat of the water. 'No better way to unwind after a hard mission,' he rumbles, his voice a low vibration against your skin, content in the hush of the room.
