[ As soon as she starts to move Aki's hands are dropping, resting on her hips to make sure she doesn't slip or wobble or accidentally hurt herself. His head is tilted as she looks at him, and he huffs a soft laugh, almost too loud in the quiet of the room, enough to have him shaking his head with all the fondness he can muster. ]
You took good care of me after dinner. I feel very cherished.
[ And, unfortunately, he is a natural caregiver. He doesn't think too much about how his childhood might have shaped that, but it settles comfortably on him all the same: this is the role he was meant to play. The fact that he has someone that he can love and take care of... That feels nice.
[ Smushing his face some more... She's being gentle with him all the same. ]
I should probably say yes, but I'm greedy. I like it when you spoil me just as much as I like spoiling you. [ With a grin: ] I'm greedy like that.
[ As if Aki isn't well aware... ]
Hm, so how about this? You can finish washing my hair out and then... [ Her smile turns catlike with mischief. ] You can see if you still feel like taking care of me after that.
[ Her face absolutely lights up - a pleasant flush from the steamy heat of the bath water and her eyes twinkling. She's just caught off guard enough for the bashful, pleased expression on her face to be worn a little more honestly than she usually lets herself, even with Aki. ]
Ahah. So you really are gonna have me for dessert.
[ Unsurprisingly, she sounds very okay with this arrangement. She smooths a lock of hair, still damp with suds, back from her face and gives him a little grin. ]
[ She looks so pretty like this, blushing and warm because of him and his touch, his words, and it makes Aki thrum with a quiet sort of pleasure. Yes, he wants more of this, but he's also aware they can't get out just yet, no matter how interested his body might be. ]
I've earned it, haven't I?
[ Leaning up, he kisses her gently, biting at her lower lip. ]
[ A thin, appreciative noise wells up from her throat, soft and low, and she shifts a little to better chase his mouth with a kiss of her own, the movement of her body against Aki's thighs making the water lap a little louder at the sides of the tub. Her fingers trail from Aki's face down to his shoulder, the pads of her fingertips tracing the curve of Aki's muscles there. He might be strong enough to fight Devils and come home to her with barely a scratch but when it's just the two of them together like this, Aki's always so tender with her. She likes that about him - but she likes it even more when Aki lets himself be a little greedy, too.
When she pulls back, her gaze is warmer now, darker and twinkling with the promise of mischief. ]
You've more than earned it, I think. So you'd better be ready to dig in.
[ With that, she turns away from him again, throwing one last cheeky grin at him over her shoulder before she settles. The quicker she lets him finish here, the quicker they both get to enjoy dessert. ]
[ Aki watches her, his eyes dark and intense as she makes herself move around, settling back between his legs. He's interested, curious, wants more from her, but he can wait - dessert can come once they're dried off and her hair isn't damp and filled with the conditioner making it soft and pretty for him. Leaning in, he kisses the back of her shoulder before he sighs a soft noise. ]
I'm ready.
[ And his body is definitely giving that away.
Lifting his hands, he begins to rinse out her hair gently, careful as he strokes his fingers through the strands. ]
[ She's trying to act nice and collected, but her heart's pitter-pattering with anticipation. She and Aki have been together long enough now that it's not quite an event every single time they go to bed together but tonight, it feels a little extra special. Maybe because they've both put a little extra effort in, maybe because Aki looks so nice with his hair loose and wet and clinging to his neck.
Or maybe she's just especially glad that he's come back home in one piece today. Maybe it's all three.
She leans back into him a little, very deliberate about the ways their bodies press into each other. ]
I'll be ready too. The second you're done adding the finishing touches. Heehee.
[ Aki reaches up, stroking his fingers through her hair, reaching behind him to take one of the wide tooth combs by the sink and brush it through carefully. The conditioner will help with the tangle, of course, but making sure it's brushed properly will be just as beneficial to her in the long run.
When that's done, he puts it back and wraps his arm around her, kissing the top of her head. ]
I'm tempted to have you right here.
[ To push her up onto the edge of the bath, to sink himself between her legs, to devour her... ]
[ A pleasant thrum of excitement goes all the way up and down her body, warm and fond and eager. She fidgets with her feet - there's no other outlet for that restless anticipation when she's doing her best to keep still and let Aki finish with her hair. It's not like she isn't enjoying this part, obviously... it's just that when Aki says stuff like that, it's a little hard to put her mind to anything else.
To that end, she shoots him a look back over her shoulder again, coy and a little mischievous. The kind of look that's a clear invitation to misbehave. Just a little. ]
Who says we have to? [ apart from Aki, of course. But her powers of persuasion are impressive. ] If you want your dessert right here, who's gonna stop you?
[ Which is what he cares more about, actually, and he leans in to give her a gentle kiss. ]
Unless you want to sit on the side of the bath, because I could do that.
[ His mouth trails along her jaw, her skin, eyes closing for a moment as he basks in her. She's so warm, so wonderful, so delicate with all that she is and all that she's made him feel, and he's weak from it. ]
[ Ah, jeez. She was just kidding - just wanting to rile him up enough to really want her, even more than he already did... but now Aki's being all practical about it and it's suddenly dangerously easy to imagine herself perched on the side of the bath, Aki's hands bracing her thighs while he gets his fill of her. Her stomach squirms pleasantly and she feels heat bloom high and bright in her cheeks, her breath coming out a little warm and a little heavy.
She really is hopelessly, hopelessly weak against him. ]
Mm. You know, I don't think I'd mind that at all. So long as we're in the bathroom, it's fine if we make a little mess, right?

I want to devour you.
