[ She leaned over the tub to get the water the right temperature and poured a measure of bubble bath into the tub. A bath without bubbles wasn't even worth considering, in her opinion. ]
For someone who had a crush on me for years, you sure were hard to actually date.
To you, I'll admit he's one of my best friends, I don't quite know when that happened either.
[ He leaned on the doorframe watching her get the bath ready, sometimes he just enjoyed watching her. ]
I didn't really think you were serious at first, and the week wait was because I am used to sleeping with someone and disappearing. I needed time to come to grips with the fact we both wanted this.
Of course, I do now. You have made it quite clear and I dare say I think you might attack anyone who might try to touch me now.
[ Which he was fine with. He hated being touched by people outside of his circle. Pushing off the wall, he made his way over, only now peeling off his Halloween socks and pushing off his pants.]
I don't deny it, can you blame me with how lovely you are?
[ He spoke before stepping in the tub after her, which was only a bit of a challenge with thos long legs.]
[ Harley didn't bother to deny it either. She settled between his long legs and leaned back against his chest. Her head tucked neatly under his sharp chin. She sighed happily. ]
[ He was quiet a long moment when she asked her question, the free hand idly tracing patterns around her belly button while he pondered his words. ]
I don't think I knew happiness before you, Harleen, but now? This life we've made, I dare say it is happiness, it is something I do not see myself being able to live without if we somehow parted. You've bewitched me, Dr. Quinzel.
[ She turned around with a lot of sloshing water so she could throw her arms around him and kiss him. Harley had loved the party lifestyle and constant nights on the town with the Joker, but part of her had always hoped he would one day settle down and the two of them would have a life ... Well. Like this one.
[ A suprised noise escaped him when she turned, the slosh clearly unexpected and yet, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her softly in return. Pulling back enough to speak but let their lips brush.]
To repeat, I want you to be you. You make me feel this way just as you are. Please don't try to change to make me happy, just, don't let other men touch you as I would. That is my only real rule.
[ Harley was satisfied with staying in his arms and sneaking kisses until the water started to cool, then she step out of the tub and offered a hand to help him up as well. ]
[ Harley roughly patted herself dry with the towel and tossed it back over the rack. She lingered in the bathroom to wipe off her makeup and wash her face before joining him in the bedroom, where she pulled on an old t-shirt and crawled under the covers. It wouldn't take long at all for her to drift off to sleep on his shoulder with one arm slung over his body.

This is just what I needed.

I thought it might help you unwind. Feeling more at ease?

Though the orgasm took care of that too.

[ She closed her eyes and let herself fully relax in his arms. It would be easy to drift off just like this if she wasn't careful. ]

[ he wouldn't let her slip down in the water, though he did relax a bit, propping one of those long legs on the edge of the tub.]

Are you?

We can revisit that one later, but maybe. Who would you have in mind?
no subject
I dunno, nobody in particular, but you never know when the opportunity will pop up!
no subject
We can talk about it then.
no subject
Let's get some sleep. It's been a long night.
no subject
Yes, that sounds like an excellent plan.
[ Grabbing a towel and offering her one, he could worry about gathering the clothes in the morning, she was right it had been a long night.]
no subject
She'd be in a good mood for days after tonight. ]
