That was what I was thinking about as I cleaned up Olly’s toys and tidied up the cabin. It never ceased to amaze me how much of a mess could happen in the house even on days when we weren’t around for long. Life just had a way of spreading out, and I worked to battle it back.
When I was finished, I headed for my room and that glorious bathtub that had started calling for me as soon as I thought about it. I filled it with hot water and poured my favorite fragrant bubble bath under the stream, so it filled the tub with a lush froth of sweet-scented foam. Twisting my hair up on top of my head so it wouldn’t get wet, I stripped down and stepped into the water.
It was so hot it stung my skin at first, but I gave it a second to get used to it and slipped the rest of the way in. The heat soaked into me and relaxed all of my muscles and joints. My eyes closed, and I leaned back against the side of the tub, letting out a contented sigh.
As I reclined there, every stress melted away, and my mind started wandering free. It drifted to the one thing I’d been trying to avoid, but I couldn’t really keep at that much of a distance anymore. I could see the hot cook’s face so clearly against my closed eyelids. Finn. It fit him. I wasn’t exactly sure why, but it fit him.
It was so funny running into him that afternoon. Bringing Olly out for a hike was on a whim. I felt the trees and the paths I’d loved so much when I was young beckoning me, and I wanted to spend some quiet, peaceful time there. I knew my little son would love the stream, and I wasn’t disappointed by his delight. But I was more than surprised at discovering Finn out there in the trees.
The camera he had with him fascinated me. He was a photographer as well as a cook, which just meant he had another sexy hobby. He was just getting more intriguing, more irresistible. The more time I spent near him and the more I found out about him, the more I couldn’t get him out of my mind.
Gradually, as my thoughts of Finn became more distinct and I let my imagination take over, I became very aware of my naked body in the hot water and the silky bubbles sliding across my skin. Thinking about him made me tingle. My hands swept through the water and settled on my stomach before moving slowly up over my breasts.
My nipples hardened, and the tingle increased. I hadn’t wanted to give in to my intense attraction to Finn, but there was no denying it. At least this was better than falling into bed with him.
The image of Finn walking along the creek in my mind became just the two of us. Everything was quiet and private, the whole world empty except for us. He took off his clothes and dropped them into the grass at the side of the water before stepping down into it. As he sank beneath the surface and came up with his shaggy hair wet and his muscles dripping, I let my hand slide between my thighs.
I let out a little gasp of pleasure when my fingers brushed over my sensitive pearl. My thighs fell open more, and I gave in to the fantasy about Finn. In my mind, he reached his hand up to me to bring me down into the water with him. As I envisioned my naked body joining his and him picking me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist, and I dipped my fingers down and found my warm, waiting entrance.
I didn’t hold back as I allowed my mind to go wild and my hand to play with abandon through my folds. Focusing in on my clit, I applied enough pressure to bring whimpers from my chest. I reached down with the other hand and plunged two fingers inside, pressing them as deep as I could and pumping them in time with the tight strokes on my clit.
It didn’t take long to bring me to my peak, and I had to bite down on my bottom lip to stop myself from crying out as my body crashed down around my fingers. The sensation washed over me, a cascade of spasms sending pulses of pleasure through me.
Finally, I moved over the crest and came down. My body relaxed further into the water, and I released every bit of tension I’d been holding in a long, contented sigh. I stayed there in the bath for a little bit longer, just enjoying the hot water, then washed up and climbed out. I got dressed quickly to chase away the chill in the air and made my way into the bedroom.
