It was true that Essek's eyes followed Caleb into the waters; even more amazing and hard to believe that this man was his, that he was loved in a very similar way. Two intimately flawed people who were learning and healing. Not just 'I am sorry' kisses against scars, or the sweet first kiss between them at the Blooming Grove but also the undoing of what had happened moments past.

He was surveying exactly where he wished to place himself when it came to Caleb; distracted though by the way that Caleb's disappeared into the waters and the line of hair like a guidepost.

Oh, thank goodness for the steam for he could blame his checks colouring on that.

"A bigger tub will be nice but it is not required at this moment; I would like the idea of being in closed quarters with you, especially since I just do not want to be so far away." they were experiencing the honeymoon phase of their relationship when everything was new and wonderful. He decided to slip in and then he sat between Caleb's spread legs while he rested his back to Caleb's chest and then he leaned back.

Perfect-- this would allow for Caleb to bring his arms around him which was something that he craved. "This.. this is perfect right now."
