Chapter 48 - 47

The tub was big enough for them to have their own sides, but Dimitri chose to snuggle with her situated in front of him. She thought it was going to be too much to spend naked time in a bathtub,  but after the night they've had, she wouldn't have it any other way. 

She was leaning against him, enjoying the very warm water that relaxed her and her muscles. This is very enjoyable, she thought. 

He had added essential oils and bathing salts into the water to loosen her stiff joints, relax her muscle and hydrate her skin. "Thank you for this, it feels so good," she said as she relaxed, and almost fell asleep while he was massaging her and washing her with a sponge. She woke up when she felt his mouth kissing her neck and his hands caressing her body. 

The water had made her skin very sensitive, that she felt every caress was heightened, and she didn't stop him when he touched her again. They did it slower in the tub like they were in a dream and were doing it in slow motion. She was enjoying all the things she had been missing for the past five years. Making love in places you would never think of, and all the time. She smiled.

When they were done getting clean and rinsing off, he wrapped her in the biggest, fluffiest towel he had and carried her to their walk-in closet. 

He was using the towel to dry her off when she stopped him, "Let me do it," she said shy once again. No matter how many times they've already done it, she still felt self-conscious about her body. Nobody has seen her body aside from herself, and now Dimitri with his adoration, made her blush all the time.

"No, I want to do it, so you can pretend I'm touching your body again," he said naughtily.

"Dimitri!" she said in a scolding tone. He just laughed and continued drying her off. She felt like she was being treated like a child, but didn't say anything.

When he reached his most favorite part of her, he looked at her and asked, "Does it still hurt here?" giving her the slightest of touches.

"Umm…no," she choked on his question and averted her eyes.

He frowned, not believing that she was telling the truth. "Are you sure? I can get you some pain reliever," he said.

"No, just don't talk about it anymore, I'm fine, please," she said awkwardly. He narrowed his eyes again and thought, she was probably telling him the truth right? Otherwise, she'll just get some pain reliever later. 

"Stay here," he said as he finished drying himself and went to get her clothes. He had picked out her clothes for her and told her to just stand there as he helped put them on. She was red as a beet by the time he was done, who knew getting dressed can be sensual?

The way his hand caressed her skin as he helped her with her undergarments was jarring, she wanted to melt in a puddle at his feet. Good thing he did not pay too much attention to her face because they probably would never get out of this room if they get started again.

In the dining room, Enzo had been anxious to see his parents, he had gotten used to the nanny bringing him down for breakfast, but he usually saw his father sitting at the table by the time he came down. Dimitri was always ready to carry him in his arms so they could exchange stories, and his mom would come down later to give him a kiss and help him with breakfast. But today, none of them came down, and he has been at the table for a while already.

"Grandma, where dada? Where mama?" he questioned her in his cute voice, his palms spread upward, gesturing where. 

Daisy was wondering where they were as well when she sees a couple of maids bringing up a trolley of breakfast items up the stairs. She smiled, knowing that they were probably busy since last night, and probably won't come down anytime soon. "Oh it's so nice to be newlyweds," she thought, "I remember that feeling," as she looks over her husband and blushes.

She was happy that they were spending time with each other. Who knows, they might get lucky and have another child. Enzo was already a big blessing for them, but another child will definitely bring more joy to their household.

The Santoris family was very affluent that they could afford to raise ten more kids if they wanted to. She wished they would have a girl this time, just because she was not lucky to have her own. Having two boys was very exhausting. 

Now that she had Aurora she felt like she had her own daughter which was why she treated Aurora very well. It was also a plus that Aurora was a very respectful and courteous person, which meant they wouldn't have many arguments in the future.

"Dada and mama will come down later, but while we're waiting do you want to show them that Enzo was able to finish his breakfast by himself?" she said while feeding him another morsel from his plate, "I bet they will be very proud of you."

Enzo nodded enthusiastically. "What do you think they're going to say?" she asked.

"Enzo good boy, eat food, drink juice," he said proudly, as he ate more from his plate.

"Good job, eat more fruits," grandma patted his head.

Gabriel was snickering in his seat, "Hmm… I didn't think bro was so desperate," he said to no one in particular. He always thought his brother was too detached from his emotions that having a wife would not affect him. But he was wrong. It seems his brother was just like any other man. 

Matthew shot him a cold stare and said, "Gabriel, behave yourself in front of the child."

Gabriel lowered his head, but there was still a teasing smile on his face.
