Bathroom

Melinoe's head tipped to the side some when Esme apologized. "Huh? Don't worry about it. Spend time with your friend. It's not like I want you to only spend time with me. I'm not selfish." She kissed Esme's cheek gently, stroking the other side of her cheek.

The pink haired woman smiled widely, winding her arms around Mel's neck.
"Thank you Mel, I love you."
She kissed Mel before backing up and stretching her arms high above her head.
"It's getting late, we should get some sleep."

Melinoe tilted her head some and smiled brightly. "I love you too." She nodded her head once and grabbed Esme's hand before turning and heading out of the bathroom, flipping the light as she went into the bedroom.

Esme twisted her fingers with Mel's with a bright smile as she brought from the bathroom, flicking off the light behind them. She had never been this happy before, not even with her ex (who was kind of a jerk now that she thought about it). She leaned onto Mel's arm, rubbing her face into her shoulder softly.

With the door shut Esme turned to the tub and turned the water on, testing it now and then to make sure it wasn't too hot. Once it was filled she shut it off and turned to Mel and smiled as she undressed again.
"This brings back such wonderful memories."
Once her clothes were sitting in a pile on the counter she put a leg in the water, holding a hand out to Mel with a smile.
"When you are ready my lady."

Melinoe easily stepped out of the cloth that doubled as her clothing before reaching to take the metal armband off of her upper left arm. "Oh? My lady? Are you trying to pamper me?" She reached out and took Esme's hand before climbing into the bath with her.

She laughed softy and sat in the warm water with Mel, sighing happily as she felt the heat on her body.
"Maybe I am, what are you going to do about it?"
Esme brought her wet finger over her lover's nose with a soft giggle.

Melinoe arched an eyebrow slightly at Esme's words. Quickly she shifted to catch Esme's finger in her mouth teasingly and sucked on it for a moment before letting it go. "Whatever I want."

Esme blushed when Mel caught her finger and started suckling on it softly. She laughed before withdrawing her hand gently and reaching for Mel's own hand.
"I just want to enjoy some down time with you my dear. I missed you so much and I want to spend every second I can in your arms."
She moved forward and lay her head on her shoulders, winding her arms around Mel's waist.

Melinoe smiled softly at Esme and leaned into her some. "I know love. Just teasing." She nuzzled against Esme before laying down to rest her head against the back of rhw rub.

Her eyes slid shut as she held Mel and nuzzled her lover's collarbone softly. Fingers began massaging at her back undoing all the tense muscles.
"I'm so happy you're home Mel. I was so lonely while you were gone."

Melinoe shifted slightly again as Esme nuzzled her collar bone and a small smile crossed her lips. She let her eyes fall shut a moment before she slowly opened them and looked her lover in the eyes and said softly. "You'll never be lonely again."

"Neither will you Mel."
Her hand placed over Mel's chest right where her heart was. The rhythm deep and soothing to the crusnik, near lulling her to sleep.
"You are my everything Mel."

"As you are mine. We're each other's everything." Melinoe reached a hand out to gently stroke Esme's cheek as she relaxed in the water.

They were each other's everything, that was absolutely true. Mel was the world to Esme, she'd give her life for her. Her hand kept rubbing her back while the other remained on her heart. It was relaxed and slow in it's pace, the owner being relaxed herself. Esme sighed contently as she closed her eyes and let the warm water relax her body.

It didn't take long since Melinoe was rather tired out, but she actually fell asleep in the bath.

Esme smiled when she noticed Mel had fallen asleep in the warm water. She was quick to drain the tub to prevent either of them from drowning while they slept. Getting comfortable she closed her eyes, dozing off quickly herself.
