Ned looked at his watch and paced the floor of the gatehouse living room again
She had been upstairs for what seemed like forever
He sat back down on the couch waiting to hear any signs of life from her
Nothing
Ned stood and took a moment to question his concerns and then headed upstairs
Her body sank into the tub
Enough water to cover her keeping her warm but still running the risk of revealing everything if she moved too much from what was left of the foam bubbles in the tub
Alexis held her eyes closed tight
Days ago Kristina had underwent another surgery and both Alexis and Ned had spent their days and nights at the hospital with her
The nurse said it would be Alexis own good if she go home for a few hours and get some rest
The nurse advised
Ned pleaded
She didnt want to leave. She didnt want to leave Kristina fearing not only she would be alone but that she too would be all alone for a few hours in her apartment
Kristina would sleep peacefully
Ned made Alexis leave the hospital, promising he would take her and bring her back
Take her to the gatehouse and bring her back
Ned gave a quick knock at the door but she didnt answer
He opened the door slightly and her head turned quickly but she didnt jump as if he had startled her
Alexis? Are you ok?
She only stared at him, looking worn out yet still extremely beautiful lying there exposed to him
She wasnt shy to him
She wasnt embarrassed by what his eyes could see
Neither was he
His eyes only saw what his heart had memorized to play over and over again in his head
Ned didnt hesitate
He walked towards Alexis falling slowly to his knees beside the tub
She lifted her hand out to him from the water letting the water fall from the edges of her skin
Ned soothed her hand against his chest letting her leave her mark against his shirt
Nothing was said
No questions, no endless discussions
Ned eyed the wash cloth floating in the water and reached for it
Slowly Ned began to let the still warm water drizzled down Alexis body from the wash cloth
She didnt stop him
He drug the cloth softly against her skin soothing her with his every touch
Up her arm. Down her neck, her chest and into the water
A chill ran through her but at that moment it could have easily been mistaken for a spark
His eyes found her and he watched the expression on her face at where he went next
His hand immersed under water, his finger slid out from under the wash cloth and into her folds finding her already hardened clit
Alexis closed her eyes and seemed to be holding her breath
It seemed like forever since she had felt his touch
She bit down on her bottom lip and he began to move his finger back and forth
His eyes stayed intent on her as she let out a slight moan
He let another finger in and began to run her clit even faster
She lay her head back against the tub
He could tell it was what she wanted, what she needed
Moments later she squeezed her legs together tight with his hands still between her as waves of pleasure mimicked the ones that crashed against the side of the tub
Ned rubbed her clit until she couldnt take it anymore
Until she held on to his arm trying to pull him away but thankful he way staying
Ned slid his fingers out scaling the inside of her thighs
A slight smile came across her face though they still said nothing
Ned stood up from his knees and took the towel and held it out for her
He wrapped the towel around her, helping her dry off before she could catch a chill
She had gotten dressed and Ned again waited for her down stairs
She came down the steps pulling her hair up in a lasting ponytail and looked back at him as he watched her
She smiled somewhat shyly at the two of them at that very second, at what had just happened between them
Ned opened the front door and held out his hand for hers
She held her hand intertwined with his and they went back to the hospital to be with their daughter
