Just hearing what he had to say made my heart sing. It made me feel so loved. I knew that Joaquin loved me but I guess sometimes I just forgot how much he really loved me.
“Joaquin, you have no idea how much that melts my heart or how happy it makes me to hear. I am beyond happy and flattered that you would give up everything to be with me, but you don’t need to do that. Not yet anyway. I know that as things with our roles as King and Queen progress we might need to reevaluate all of this later, but for now it is enough just knowing that you’re willing to throw away everything that you’ve worked so hard for just to be with me. I won’t let you do that though. I know how much you enjoy your work on most days.”
I felt the rumbling as Joaquin’s laughter thrummed through him. He must have found my words funny.
“I do enjoy my work, but I love you. And just remember, if I did stop working the money is still mine. I am sure we can survive for quite a long time with the fortune that I already have. Plus, I would still own the company and therefore I would still be making more money. We would never be poor. I wouldn’t be throwing anything away, baby. I would be staying right where I am needed the most.”
His offer was so tempting. I almost told him that I did want him to stay with me, that I wanted us to be together like this all the time. Then I remembered that we really do need our time away from each other, even if it’s just little bits here and there. It would stop us from feeling smothered by the constant attention.
“It’s tempting, Fido, it truly is. However, for right now I think we should leave things as they are for right now.”
“If you’re sure, Little Bunny. If that’s what you really want I will not argue at all.
Joaquin and I moved from the bed to the couch and watched a movie after that. Dinner was delivered to our room and we ate it while watching the third movie of the night. By the time that the fifth movie was wrapping up I was ready to pass out from exhaustion even though I hadn’t done anything all day. While I drifted off to sleep I felt Joaquin carrying me back to the bed.
After he laid me back onto the bed I felt him slowly start to take some of the clothing off of me. My shoes had been taken off a long time ago but I felt my socks sliding off now. After that I felt my pants sliding down my legs. I would have welcomed an intimate touch most nights but right now I was too tired. He wasn’t making it intimate though, he was just making me more comfortable. After the pants had been removed I felt him snake his hands up my shirt and remove my bra. It felt so freeing, so wonderful to not have that evil man-made contraption trying to kill me right now.
After my bra was removed Joaquin must have removed his own clothes because a moment later I felt him climb into the bed after me and he was just wearing his boxer briefs like usual. I felt him wrap his arms around me gently and pull me closer to him so that I fit snugly under his chin. It was my favorite way to lay, perfectly enveloped in his body. I never felt safer than I did when he draped his body around me like this. It was so peaceful and soothing that it made me slip into a deeper sleep immediately.

My first full day at home started out slow. I had to have Joaquin carry me to the bathroom so that I could pee like I needed to do every night. Honestly I was surprised I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night needing to pee like I have been lately. These babies often used my bladder like it was a punching bag while I was sleeping.
Just like at the hospital yesterday, and all through the day yesterday, Joaquin carried me to the bathroom and set me on the toilet. That part was so annoyingly embarrassing. I mean, I was capable of going from a standing position to a sitting position. But nope, he wouldn’t allow it at all.
After I finished and was ready to wash up he would then pick me up and hold me while I washed my hands. At least he didn’t insist on washing them for me or something annoying like that.
After that I had desperately wanted to take a shower. I just wanted to let the water wash over me and relax my muscles. Well, do you think he was going to let me shower? Nope. He set me on the edge of the sink and went to draw the bath.
While the water was filling the tub he went and got a stack of towels that he set next to the large pool of water. After that he added a lightly scented oil to the water that I could instantly tell was meant for relaxation. He was trying to keep me calm I see. After he grabbed my body wash and shampoo the tub was ready and it was time for me to bathe.
Joaquin walked over just as I was taking off the loose fitting t-shirt I was wearing. He looked slightly annoyed, like he wanted to be the one to remove the shirt instead of me. Well, he got to be the one to pull the panties down and off of me so at least he shouldn’t be too upset.
Before Joaquin picked me up though he stripped off his boxers and tossed them into the hamper with my clothes.
“What are you doing?” I asked him even though I already knew.
“Taking a bath with you. Isn’t that obvious?” He laughed as he picked me up.
“I gathered that much, but why are you taking a bath with me? I can bathe myself, you know.”
“Aren’t I allowed to take a relaxing bath with the love of my life?” He was phrasing it like that on purpose. He was going to make me feel guilty if I said no. Oooh that sneaky dog.
“If that was really what you were after then I wouldn’t have a problem, but I have a feeling this is just you making sure I don’t die in the tub.” He flinched at my choice of words and looked at the water with me held in his arms.
“While it would be horrible for that to happen and I most definitely do not want to see you hurt in any way, this is truly just me wanting to take a bath with you this morning.” Hmm, I wonder.
“So, does that mean that I will bathe alone tomorrow? And the day after that?” I raised an eyebrow at him and glared at him. He still wouldn’t look at me.
“I will want to bathe with you then too. I want to bathe with you all the time. There is no definite date as to when it will end.”
“You’re being ridiculous.” I laughed at him while I shook my head. “Utterly ridiculous. You know that? You’re pretending to want to just be in the tub with me but it’s just you wanting to keep an eye on me.” I still couldn’t stop laughing. He was being ridiculous.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He still feigned innocence as he walked into the hot water and settled us down.
“Sure you don’t.” I nodded at him.
After soaking for a while I felt Joaquin begin to wash me. It reminded me of the first time we were in the tub together. That had been back in the canyons after I was rescued. He had washed me then too, just like he was doing now.
His touch was gentle and smooth. He wasn’t trying to be intimate but I couldn’t help but feel it that way. I just loved the way that he touched me and how it felt. I could feel the heat flooding into my core as my desire for him just grew.
I turned on his lap slowly so that I was facing him. I took the washcloth from him and pretended to start washing him. However, the moment that I leaned forward I pressed my lips against his and slipped my tongue into his mouth.
He answered my kiss immediately. His lips reached hungrily for me and his hands came up to stroke my back and I pressed my breasts against his chest. I loved the feel of his firm and toned muscles and broad shoulders. I ran my hands up his arms, over his shoulders and down his back so that I could scrape my fingers against his smooth and soft flesh.
I heard him moan softly and felt his body respond instantly. He was already turned on. His growing erection invaded the space between our bodies and pressed against me firmly. It was exactly what I was wanting, what I needed. I rocked my body just a little so that I could grind against him and feel him just that much more. It was already amazing and we hadn’t even done anything yet.
“Wait.” He pulled away from me, breaking the kiss. “We shouldn’t do this. It’s not good for you right now.”
“I don’t remember Griffin telling us we couldn’t do this.” I tried to recapture his mouth then but he pulled away from me.
