Ch. 24

Killian drove home with purpose. He could see that Emma was lost in thought and that she really needed to relax. He knew better that to interrupt her when she was in so deep that her eyes appeared to be watching a scene play out in front of her. He could tell that whatever Jazzy told her was weighing in and that she was connecting dots. He knew she would tell him later and that now, she just needed to be quiet and calm. He was happy to help her with that.

When they got home, he guided her to the elevator, through their apartment door and to the couch where he removed her jacket. It was then that she seemed to come out of her trance. She looked up at him, blinked her eyes and smiled softly. "Hey." She said.

"Welcome back." He said smiling as he bent down in front of her.

"I'm sorry. I was just trying to put together everything Jazzy told me." She said.

He unzipped her right boot and pulled it off. "I figured; I know better than to interrupt your thought process." He said.

She smiled. "You know me so well." She said.

He unzipped her left boot and pulled it off. "What revelations did your conversation bring to light?" he asked before beginning to rub her foot.

Emma moaned in delight. "God that feels good. Jazzy said it was the Scots that were behind this but specifically mentioned Seamus was involved. She also said it was her fault that this all happened in the first place." She recalled.

He raised his brows and stopped rubbing. "Interesting, because if Seamus was involved, he's been in jail for the majority of the time the girls were missing." He said.

Emma frowned." Don't stop. Please my feet are so sore." She pleaded.

He looked up grinning and began again." Please go on." He said.

She smiled. "Thank you, that feels wonderful." She said resting back further into the couch. "So, I think that may have been part of the problem. When I caught him, I think their plan went wrong. I think it was Jazzy and Seamus working together. She had to get someone to help her after the girls were taken. I just don't know who. Could have been those guys that busted into the poker game the other day at the bachelor party arms." She said.

"Ah, those guys." Killian said applying more pressure.

Emma frowned." I know. Not the most pleasant guys I've met since I've been to town." She said.

Killian picked up her other foot." We should go back and talk to Naveen to see if we can get him to tell us who those guys are and where we can find them." He said softly.

She sat back up, sighed and put her hand on his shoulder lightly." You're right, we should probably go now."

Killian shook his head, lifted her hand and pressed a kiss to the tip of each of her fingers. "No. No. No. No. No." he repeated after kissing each finger. "Love, I think it's time we wash this day away and get some rest." He said encouragingly.

She looked into his baby blue adoring eyes begging her to stop pushing herself and began to melt. "You're right. I do feel a little dirty and could use some washing." She said fluttering her eyes.

He grinned and nodded." I think I can help you with that. Why don't you get undressed and meet me in the shower?" he said.

Emma smiled." It's a deal."

By the time she got to their room, undressed and made it back to the bathroom Killian had the hot shower running. She felt the steam pouring out of the shower against her skin. She quickly walked across the cool tile floor to open the curtain to their shower. She took a moment to watch Killian's perfect soapy form as he rinsed under the hot stream of water. God, he had a beautiful body, especially his perfect arse. "Got room for one more?" she asked sheepishly.

He turned, soap dripping from his grinning face. "I thought you'd never get here." He said helping her step into the steamy water with him. The coolness of her body against his warm body made her tingle all over. His warm hands smoothed up and down her back as he held her against him. She felt the water trickling down the side of her face as she used his chin as shield. It felt good to be in their warm little bubble as close as they could be.

She felt him pick up the soap bottle and squeeze some into his hands as she tucked against him further. His hands rubbed the cool gel across her shoulders and down her back. He carefully and skillfully rubbed her backside. She felt the bubbles all over her body as his hands slid up and down. He slowly turned her out away from him, then carefully cupped each of her breasts softly sliding his hands down to pinch her nipples gently. She felt the hairs stand up all over her body as his nimble fingers continued to play and his growing form brushed against her backside. She leaned her body back into him, rubbing her arse to stroke him harder, slowly up and down she moved as he rubbed her. He breathed heavy against her neck and pulled her body closer to his as she continued to grind against him. "Keep going. That feels so good." He said.

"Mmhmm" she moaned as he continued to tease her nipples and kiss her neck.

His fingers slid down to her wet heat and touched her eagerly, teasing her to the brink. She couldn't take it anymore. "I need you inside of me." She pleaded.

He lifted her leg so that he could slip into her easily. "God you feel so good." He groaned as he thrust forward deeply. He filled her so completely that she could feel his heart beating against her back. "Hold on." He whispered against her neck.

She complied and pressed her hands hard against the wall as he began thrusting into her quickly, then teasingly slow touching her deeply. The warmth of the steam and the fullness of him inside of her felt so good. He'd held her so completely and safely that she let her desires consume her. He so amazing, she couldn't help but lose control. She felt the sensation of warm waves washing over her and she was powerless to the moans coming from her mouth. He began thrusting harder as she moaned. She road the waves of ecstasy with each thrust, eventually he achieved his own reward. When she felt him complete, she stilled her body, letting his form fall against her heavily so he could slip out gently. He released her leg so she was stable enough to turn to face him. She placed her hands on each side of his face to look into his sleepy eyes and wet shaggy hair. "I love you Killian." She said.

He smiled. "I love you too Emma." He said placing a soft sensual kiss on her lips.

She turned off the water as he climbed from the shower. He grabbed the soft fuzzy purple towel from the rack next to them and wrapped her inside. "Oh, I get the full service, wash and dry huh?" she asked.

He grinned and shook his wet hair at her like a shaggy dog. "Oh, I aim to please." He said.

She stepped back to avoid the water and laughed. "I'll meet you in the bedroom."

He waggled his eyebrows. "Not if I get their first." he said running past her towards their room.

She loved when he was boyishly playful. She was quick on his heels but he still beat her to the room. He grabbed her as she crossed the imaginary finish line and spun her around. "Ready for round two?" she asked.

"Oh yes." He said as he carried her to the bed and lay her down gently. "I plan to kiss every inch of you tonight to show you just how much I love you." He said.

"Bring in on." She said impatiently.

Those were the last coherent words she remembered saying that night before he thoroughly and completely satisfied her into slumber.
