"I am no Harpocrates, but I do think that's where it comes from," he says. He rests his chin on the top of her head, like he might settle in for good. "Are you pungent enough to bathe with me, then?"
"You're quite the monster yourself right now. I might decide to nibble on you," she laughs, and though she might be able to slip away, she doesn't. "See what all the fuss is about."
Odd, how a year ago he’d suggested just that and ruined her joy for what had seemed like forever. Now she jokes so easily, and the sting he feels thinking about it is hidden by his face against the side of hers.
"I'm sorry to have denied you the opportunity," he murmurs against her chin as he steps over the side of the tub, leaning his shoulder into the wall as he sets her down. It's still wet from her own bath, and neither of them are fully undressed, so he just tugs at her nightdress.
Absolutely not. That she can move him at all in their bed is only because he humors her. Glancing down at his hands on her breasts, she reaches out with a cheeky smile to plant her hands on his chest. Ha.
He looks down at her hands, momentarily confused by the symmetry between them, and then chuckles under his breath. He looks her in the eyes with a matching smile.
"Now what do you think you'll do with those, my lady?"

"Well... these are my pillows, sometimes," she says. "But here? The possibilities are endless."
But she just squeezes them.

Like the man can't do it himself.
