Caleb trailed his fingers through the water to warm it until a light mist of steam rose. He rather enjoyed hot baths even though they turned his skin bright pink and left a little stink.

While the bath filled they had a few minutes. Caleb turned around and pulled Essek flush against him. "You can always change the temperature once we're in the water."

"I don't think I will ever tired of the feel of your skin under my hands," he murmured against Essek's jaw. "Or your body against mine."
