Pairing: S/N (sorta)
Archive: Yes
Warnings: No
Series/Serial: ????

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, CBS, Jerry B, and others do. The premise
on the other hand came to me as I began to fall asleep in the bath tub. So maybe
I do have a warning. Do not combine lavender bath oil w/lavender candles and
a glass of wine. There is such a thing as relaxing too much. And, falling asleep
in a tub full of water can be hazardous to your health (as well as your libido.)

She lowered her body into the lavender scented water. It had been a rough week.
She needed to relax and regroup so she had all the candles burning, soft music on
the portable and a glass of white wine in her hand. She leaned her head against the
folded towel behind her.

She looked up as she heard the door open. Watching him approach the tub through
half opened eyes, she appreciated how he looked in the candlelight. The flame
reflected off his hair and shown in his eyes as he knelt beside her. Without saying
a word he picked up the soft cloth laying on the side of the tub and dipped it in the
water. She arched her neck as he brought it up to stroke her from jaw to collar bone
and across her left shoulder. As his hand moved to the other side he leaned in to
kiss the pulse point in her neck that seemed to have tripled in tempo. Before she
could react he moved his head and dipped his hand back in the water bringing it up
to swirl around each of her breasts. His thumb softly stroked her nipples as he passed
by and continued to travel southward. She felt his fingers gently open her before a
constant pressure was applied. Her hips began to move to the rhythm he set and
she lifted her eyes to look deeply into his. Her body arched out of the water as she
came.
He used the shower hose to wet her hair then leisurely shampooed it. As the water
drained from the tub he helped her stand. He poured a generous amount of lavender
scented gel onto the bath puff and proceeded to gently scrub her body using the shower
hose once again to rinse her off, turning it to the massage setting for several minutes
before shutting it down.
He wrapped her in the huge green bath sheet she had lain out and lifted her out of the
tub. Sitting at the vanity he used another towel to get as much water out of her hair as
possible. Then he picked up the antique silver comb her grandmother had given her
when she was twelve and gently combed her hair until it was completely dry and as
soft as down. She was beginning to doze when she felt him stand. He carried her
into the other room and laid her down on the bed.
She looked at him as he stood, expecting him to remove his clothes and join her. He
leaned back down and kissed her sweetly on the forehead before turning to leave.
"Nick!"

She jerked awake at the sound of her own voice. She had fallen asleep in the tub.
Again. Damn, she had to quit doing that. Especially if it brought on erotic dreams
about her best friend. 'Sara' she thought to herself, 'you have got to get a life.'
