Carol's POV

The tray was beginning to be heavy holding it still. But you would be damn if you would remove your forehead from touching your angel. There is no way in hell that you would willing lose contact with any part of her body the she allowed you to touch. Never again.

Her warm fresh breath soothed your skin. You were fully aware that your stale breathe was hitting her. But you refuse to move away. Her skin was touching yours. You were home. You never want to leave home ever again.

"Time to get water on you. I want you all soaped up before I have my way with you." Your eyes flash open quickly.

Therese simply moved away and smirked. "Knew that would get you to wake up."

"I think I may have been a bad influence on you." You smirk as you move pass your love into the bathroom. Your senses hit with everything she had done.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Her voice hit your left ear as she moved passed you. She took the tray from your hands.

You couldn't keep the snort of laughter in. You stale breathe floated up to you. It was time to fix this problem. You look over at the sink and saw that Therese had placed your toothbrush next to the tooth paste. Stepping up you turn the faucet on. Looking up into the mirror you found that you were looking a horrible mess. Your eyes were red and puffy. You knew you wore yourself into complete exhaustion weeping into Therese's chest.

You place the toothbrush into your mouth and used all your might to brush your teeth. Lost in your thoughts of when you awoke from a peaceful sleep the previous night. You turned and looked down into the peaceful child like face of your angel. All the guilt of what you had put her through hit you once more.

"...ol." You were lost in your very dark thoughts. You felt the pain in your teeth. Your gums. But you didn't give a damn. You hurt your soul mate. You deserved the pain.

A soft and gentle hand covered yours. You kept moving your hand in a furious fashion. But the hand kept covering yours. You finally realized that it was your angel's hand on yours. Your hand stopped dead still. Your eyes stare into her very compassionate green eyes.

"Oh Carol." She whispered sadly. You felt her hand under your chin.

She ever gently removed the toothbrush from your mouth. You watch with your eyes as she moves closer to you. You heard the faucet turn on. You blink as you felt a damp soft clothe against your gums and teeth. As she pulls the wash clothe away …. "There now that's better." She leans in and kisses the edge of your mouth.

You whimper.

Therese's POV

At her whimper you pull her against you. "I love you." You kiss her forehead. "I love you." You kiss between her eyes. "I love you." You kiss her left cheek. "I love you." You kiss her right cheek. "I love you." You kiss her forehead once more. "I love you." You capture her lips with your own.

You take in her whimpers.

You pull away as her last whimper went down your throat. "Come; it's time to get you warm." You placed your hand into her right one; gently leading her towards the bath tub. The bath that you had gotten ready just for her.

Turning you faced her once more. She looked back at you like she was at a loss. She was at a loss. But you knew how to find her again. You knew how you could help her find herself.

You gently tug at the tie of your rob around her waist. You allow the separate ties to fall to the sides. You gently push back the rob from her shoulders. Guiding it off her shoulder; and off her body. You didn't allow it to fall onto the ground. You left it across the toilet lid. You allow your finger to inch underneath her silk night gown. The one with long sleeves. Although it was spring and getting warmer. But it was still early spring. You were relieved that she was covered up. Although it wasn't one of her warmest night gowns. But you kept her warm against you; with the blankets covering her.

Her eyes closed at the feel of your finger against her skin.

"Lift your arms." You spoke softly. She obeys. You gently tug her night grown up her body; and over her head. Your breath hitched at the site of her standing naked in front of you. "You are so beautiful." You breathed out.

Her eyes blinked open. "No you are beautiful. My perfect angel."

"I'm not perfect." You guide her over to the tub. "Climb in love." You gently help her get situated in the tub. You smile as she releases a relaxed sigh as she sinks into the water. You quickly remove your own clothes and join your beloved. You managed to slip in behind her and as she rests against your chest; you hit the button for the jets to make the bubbles.

Carol's POV

You slip your arm up around her neck. You moved so you were even tighter against her wet body even more than you were. You never wanted to allow one bit of her beautiful and perfect skin from yours. You had spent much much too long away from it. From her.

How did you manage to breathe without your angel? How did your heartbeat manage to beat a second beat in the world without your soul mate? How did it know that you just had to wait until you were in your late teens before your angel would be born? How could it allow you to make the choices you made once it knew your soul mate was alive?

"You say I think to much." Her low chuckle is in your ear.

You just pull her tighter against you. Your eyes slipping close as you try desperately to keep the tears at bay. You feel her warm smooth cheek against your own. "I love you." Her voice whispers over and over again. "I love you."

You couldn't breathe.

Therese's POV

You wrap your arm that was across her stomach a little tighter. You felt your skin at the end of your fingers. You scooted her closer to you. You honesty were amazed that there was even a silver of a distance left between the two of you.

Your hand that was removing the sweaty hair from the side of her face moved so it was resting in between the valley of her breast. Your palm was covering her rapid beating heart. You rested your chin on her shoulder; turning your face into her neck. You gently nuzzle against her skin.

The only thing you can do is hold her. Being silent. But still holding her. Safe in your arms. Safe against you.

Carol's POV

What was time? Indefinite continued progression of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. (Or so the dictionary defines time).

How can you put a measure of this moment in that definition? How can you put any precious moment that you spend with your angel that was flung out into space in that definition? Even a moment such as this. As you feel all your guilt eating up your side. As you feel that you could be swallowed up in your guilt. In your self hatred?

You felt warm breath against your skin. You felt warm skin on your back. The skin you know even better than your very own. You knew the skin better than any map that you ever studied. You felt fingers against your ribs. Against your breasts. You felt the protective hand that was protecting your heart.

Your eyes open and you looked into the sea of green. You found life in them. You found love in them. You found timeless in them. Your hand slowly rose so it was resting against the right cheek bone of your savor's face.

She purrs.

You lean forward and captures her mouth with your own.

Therese's POV

There she is. She's coming back. You open your mouth to her questing tongue. You sink into Carol as she explores your mouth. Your tongue gently massaging the side of her tongue. You felt her move from your cheekbone to the back of your neck. You felt the slight tug. You happily moved forward. Pressing even harder against her.

Your hand on her waist tightens as you felt her heartbeat jump out of her chest.

She pulls away resting her forehead against your own. "My beloved." She whispers.

Author's Note: I have decided to make the bath into a third chapter. This is quite honesty a first for me. When I spilt chapters I just spilt them in twos. This is my first threesome for me chapter wise. or and the other kind too.
