Aelin sprinted up the castle stairs. She flew through the hallways and up to her and Rowan's room. He had been away in a neighboring city for a week. When she heard about his arrival she had left her meeting as soon as possible to see her carranam. Aelin hated being away from him for even a few days, so she was ecstatic to see her fae warrior.
She burst into their room and saw Rowan's satchel laying across the couch. "Rowan" she called, and an answering grunt sounded from the bathing chamber. Aelin walked into the room and saw her mate laying in the bath, washing his hair. " Hello Fireheart" he said in his low voice. " I missed you" Aelin replied. She thought she might have even seen a smile on his tattooed face. " I don't have any more meetings until tomorrow." Aelin said suggestively. Rowan grinned as she started peeling off layers of clothes.
When she was down to nothing but her bra and underwear, she stepped into the bath with him, straddling his hips. Rowan groaned as she leaned in to kiss him, his hands found their place on her hips and made their way upwards. " How was your trip?" Aelin asked between kisses. " It was miserable without you, my queen." Rowan said before trailing gentle kisses down her neck. Aelin groaned as he made his way towards her bra, and ripped the fabric, letting it fall into the water. " I liked that one" Aelin said pouting. " I really missed you" Rowan said in reply before kissing her again.
She leaned forward against the growing hardness beneath her and braced her hands on Rowan's chest, kissing him slowly and deeply. When her mouth found it's way down to his jaw and kissed a line down towards his chest, He let out loud moan. She continued her way down until she stopped right above his waist. He growled when she stopped, and leaned forward to start kissing the spot where her neck met her shoulders. Earning a few moans from Aelin, He continued his way down, just as a knock sounded on the chamber door. "Aelin" Aedion's voice boomed through the room. Aelin gasped before saying, "Just a moment Aedion."
Rowan leaned back and growled as she got up. She wrapped a towel around herself before exiting the room, leaving a disappointed Rowan behind. "I needed to talk to you about these guard placme- " Aedion started before seeing Aelin. " I - I'm sorry, were you in the bath?" he stammered. " Rowan just got back." she growled in response at her cousin. "Oh, OH." Aedion said before apologizing profusely And leaving the room as fast as he could. When she made her way towards the bathing room, She saw that her naked Rowan had migrated to the bed.
" Remind me to kill him for that" Rowan snarled. Aelin just laughed, dropping the towel. "Let's just pick up where we left off."
