Just Relax

Bonus Chapter: Rain's Turn

Rain smiled at herself. 'Damn I'm good,' she practically laughed, but refrained herself. She didn't want to alert the man behind her to her ecstatic joy and/or pride for herself.

It's had been quite sometime since Domon's first hot spring massage, and since then he had received many more. Rain had fulfilled each of his painfully obvious yet subtle requests, "my back hurts." And now it was her turn. She slid a little deeper into the water, letting its warmth surround her body, a large smile performing on her face.

Domon stood somewhat nervously behind the self-congratulating woman. He however was completely unaware of this laughter that bubbled just below Rains surface, he thought she was in pain. Domon had agreed to give his doctor a massage when she informed him, on the brink of tears, that she pulled a muscle and needed his help relaxing it. It was the least he could do after all those wonderful massages Rain had supplied him with. At the thought of them, Domon's eyes almost rolled to the back of his head and a deep moan threatened to rumble out of his throat. Instead Domon grunted, a vain attempt to become serious if not angry, tried to focus, and approached the woman naked in the hot spring before him.

Domon dropped to his knees right at the edge of the small warm spring. As he looked down into the water, he saw expected darkness. It was the darkest of nights, and the water reflected this by being of inky blackness. Even the things closest to the surface were well protected by the water. Domon was surprised to find himself disappointed at this.

Domon kneeled behind Rain a moment, knees pressing into the dirt at the edge, examining what he could of his partner. The thought of utter beauty entered his mind. He shook his head in attempts to clear it and to become focused on the task itself.

Domon raised his hands above Rain's shoulders. He could see the tension in her back. 'That muscle must really be hurting her,' he thought with uncharacteristic concern. He himself was somewhat tense, but his was a result of nervousness. He had never given a massage before.

Rain waited patiently in the steaming water, still smiling. As Domon raised his hands her muscles tensed with anticipation. As his hands began to lower, she closed her eyes awaiting the much-desired contact. When Domon's hands finally did touch her bare skin, Rain's smile faltered and her eyes opened.

"Uh, Domon?" she asked for his attention. "Your gloves?"

Only the sound of a surprised "Oh" was heard as he removed his hands. Rain smiled as she reveled in the fact that she had made the Mighty Domon Kasshu nervous.

Rain so amused by her thoughts was taken back when Domon's naked and calloused hands came down onto her shoulder, covering them completely.

"Oh," a small noise left Rain as she jerked in surprise.

"I'm sorry," an even more surprising apology from Domon. "I know their rough."

"No," Rain said. She raised her hand to the back of his, afraid that he would remove them. "I like it," she smiled, "It feels…good." The contact of Domon's bare hands on her own skin felt more then just good to Rain.

Domon had to admit that this did feel…good. Beneath his rough hands was her soft, smooth, and wet skin. He closed his eyes for a moment. Yes, this did feel…good.

Rain removed her hand from Domon's to allow him to massage her. She almost used that hand to applaud herself as she felt her partner's strong, large hand start to move above her shoulder. However, her hand formed a tight white fist instead. Rain mentally cursed herself as Domon began his massage. She should have expected this from him. Domon had only one way of doing things and he had never given a massage before, that much was clear. Rain not wanting and unwilling to let it end, pressed her lips together to prevent any involuntary noised from getting out and tightened her fists. Rain squeezed her eyes tightly shut as Domon squeezed her shoulder again.

"Ouch!"

The End (for real this time)

Author's Notes:

I really was not going to continue this story. It was suppose to end with just a cherry (epilogue) on top. However, the idea of our non-too gentle Neo-Japan Gundam fighter giving Rain a massage and messing up (being to rough) was just too tempting to pass up. So whoever liked this extra little serving of sprinkles on our sundae can give their thanks to Jen23 for the idea, although I think he/she was looking for a more intimate or romantic scenario. (See it does help to review to a story even if it's been published/finished for a while, plus I have to admit I love the reviews.)

Please review. And as always Thank You.

P.S. For those who are not reading "The Third Law" for personal and understandable reasons, my next "dilemma" or "candy shop" will be in chapter 7 (chapter 5 from within) of the story. Please help me choose what to write about next when the time comes.
