She opened her eyes to watch him, her gaze hazy with love as she whispered, "You are spoiling me too much…"
A faint smile tugged at his lips as he leaned down to press a gentle kiss to her damp forehead. "Isn't that what husbands are supposed to do?"
Her heart fluttered at his words, heat rising to her cheeks as she ducked her head shyly.
He washed her hair slowly, massaging her scalp with firm, rhythmic motions until her eyes fluttered closed again. Then he washed her shoulders and back, his touch careful and soothing.
When he finished, he lifted her out of the tub, wrapping her in a thick, fluffy towel before carrying her back to the bedroom.
He laid her gently onto the bed and slipped in beside her, pulling her into his arms so her cheek rested against his bare chest.
The sheets were cool against their heated skin as the moonlight filtered softly through sheer curtains, casting silver patterns across their entwined bodies.
