Chapter 24: Christmas Eve

Kathleen's POV

Irena's rule for Christmas Eve was that everyone washed before the first star, and Marek took it as an order to fill the tub.

It was a claw-foot tub, deep and white, in the bathroom of the second-floor flat that had been mine since June.

He ran the water hot and poured in a capful of my mother's lavender bath oil.

I stood in the doorway in my slip, with my hair pinned up and the ring on my left hand.

The windows were fogged white, and it was snowing on Boston Street.

"Get in," Marek said.

"Aren't you coming?"

"I'm coming."

He pulled his shirt off over his head.

I watched the long scar on his ribs and the gray in the hair on his chest, and I felt it low in my belly.

I slid out of my slip and stepped over the rim.

The water closed around my legs, scalding, and I sank into it with a sigh.

He climbed in behind me.

The water rose and slopped over the end of the tub, and the tub held him, barely.

He drew me back against his chest with my head on his shoulder, and his knees stood up on either side of me.

I felt him already hard against the small of my back.

"Eight months," I said.

"And you still make that noise," he said.

"What noise?"

"That one," he said.

He reached over and took the sponge and began to wash me, slowly, with soap that smelled of lavender.

He started at my shoulders and moved down my arms and over my breasts, in long warm strokes.

The sponge dragged across my nipples, and I arched against him.

"Marek," I said.

"I'm washing you."

"You're not washing me."

"A little," he admitted.

His other hand slid down my belly under the water and between my thighs.

I let my knees fall open against the walls of the tub.

He stroked me with two soapy fingers, slow and thorough, and I put my head back on his shoulder and let him.

The water lapped at my breasts.

I turned my face into his neck and bit it.

"I want you in me," I said. "Right now. Like this."

"Like this?"

"Like this."

He lifted me by the hips, easily, water streaming off us both, and set me down again, facing him this time, astride his lap.
