I thought you said forever over and over
Liam often forgot that such simple tasks were possible with magic, and even if he’d remembered, he’d have wanted to make things as easy as possible for Maea. He enjoyed caring for her, finding a simple pleasure in spoiling her. She deserved all that he could give and more, so he gave her everything he had. And if that meant running a second bath, well, then that was what he’d do every time.
He returned to the bathroom with an extra towel, an assortment of clothes (while he’d be content to stay naked with her, he wanted Maea to be comfortable after washing up), and an empty cup. Setting this all down, he placed the cup near the tub and climbed in with Maea, settling behind her so that her back was against his chest. The water was hot, but not unpleasantly so, and Liam sighed softly as muscles he hadn’t realized were quite so tense relaxed.
At Maea’s request, Liam dutifully soaped her back, taking the opportunity to massage her shoulders. Only after he’d done this for a few minutes did he release her, reaching for the cup and filling it with water. ”Tilt your head back,” he suggested. ”Let me wash your hair.”
