Together they went through to the bathroom and Jed turned on the water for the tub while Abbey checked the thermostat to ensure that it would not be too hot for him. Then she poured the champagne and handed him his glass. As they clinked glasses, their eyes met and held.
"To us," Jed said.
"To the future," Abbey said.
"Together," he added with a smile.
As they sipped their champagne, their eyes still held, and Jed brought his hand up to unfasten the buttons of her blouse then slid his hand under the silky fabric to cup her breast.
"Good, huh?" he asked as her head went back and a small sigh of pleasure escaped her. Then, "Whoa, hang on there, babe," he said, grasping her quickly as she swayed unsteadily. "Too much champagne?"
She looked at him and drew in her breath. "It's not the champagne, it's what your hands can do to me."
He took her glass from her and put both their glasses down in the holders at the side of the tub. Then he slid her blouse off, and brought his head down to kiss the soft silkiness of her shoulder. His mouth moved gently, nuzzling her shoulder, then her neck and her throat, and his hands went round her waist and pulled down the zipper of her skirt so that it fell to the floor. At the same time Abbey was tugging at his shirt to pull it out of his pants and then undoing the buttons.
He lifted his head and held her arms as his eyes travelled down her body "Oh God," he breathed, looking at her in her lilac bra and panties and the garter holding her dark stockings with their lacy tops. "You look so good."
Abbey took a step back from him and gave him a sexy smile. "You want to watch while I take them off?"
He tried to pull her back to him. "Just do it quick then – because I'm ready to come just looking at you."
She put her hand against his chest to hold him away. "Maybe I'll just do it real slow. But first, just get your shirt and pants off and get into that tub – then you can watch."
She waited while Jed stripped, then she leant over to turn off the water and to hit a couple of buttons that activated the jets and lights in the hot tub – the ones that the girls had experimented with earlier.
Jed started laughing as the water started bubbling and changed colour from red to yellow then green and blue. "Wow, coloured water! We've never had technicolor sex before, have we?" He lowered himself into the water, sat on the ledge, picked up his champagne glass and leant back. "Okay, honey, I'm ready for the floorshow."
"And here's the music to go with it." Abbey picked up the remote control and clicked it. She'd chosen the tracks earlier from the suite's in-house programme and now Celine Dion's 'Power of Love' came from the hidden surround sound.
Jed's eyes narrowed in amusement. "You've planned this, haven't you?"
"I might have." Abbey looked at him from under her eyelashes and he laughed again.
Then, slowly and seductively, she released her stockings and slid each one down her legs, watching him all the time and loving the way his eyes followed her every move, the deep breath he had to take and the way he moistened his lips with the tip of his tongue. The garter came next, and then she paused as Celine Dion reached the chorus of the song.
Standing in a provocative pose, her legs wide apart, her hands on her hips and her head tilted to one side, she sang along in a husky and sexy voice: "'Cause I'm your lady – and you are my man – whenever you reach for me – I'll do all that I can–"
"Jeez, Abbey–" Jed's blue eyes were now smouldering and intense. "You're doing it already – you're killing me here–"
"Hang in there, babe."
Slowly she unfastened her bra, slipped the shoulder straps and let it fall, then eased her panties down so that they fell too. Then she ran her hand through the back of her hair and shook her head backwards so it fell away from her face. For Jed, that was the sexiest gesture of them all.
"You are just so beautiful," he breathed, then smiled. "And now, for heavens' sake, get in here with me before I go totally crazy." He put down his glass and held out his hand to her.
Smiling, she slid herself into the water beside him and he pulled her towards the centre of the tub where the jets of water came up from the floor. Then he grasped her arms and kissed her, his tongue invading her until Abbey closed her eyes with a small whimper of pleasure.
"Let go, sweetheart," he murmured, "just let me love you."
His hands went to her breasts and it only took a few moments before Abbey had surrendered herself to the delicious feel of the bubbling water and Jed's hands, exquisitely gentle as they fondled her. She clutched his shoulders as her legs threatened to give way. Her eyes were closed and her head went back as her body melted against his. Jed smiled. He loved it when she got totally lost like this. As his hands explored her and small gasps 'Oh!' and 'Yes!' escaped from her, he had to struggle to control himself, but whispered "Love you" over and over again.
Eventually his hand reached down, knowing just which part of her to touch to send her into oblivion.
"Jed!" she gasped as her body suddenly tightened.
"Let go, sweetheart." he said softly again as he stroked her with his fingers and felt her body respond. He put his other arm round her to support her. "Just let go, sweetheart," he said gently. "I love watching you come like this."
He watched her as she gasped and squirmed at the sensations both the bubbling water and his fingers were having on her. Her breathing started to become quick and ragged, and he held her on the edge for as long as she could take it.
"You there?" he whispered.
"Nearly," she managed to gasp. "Nearly – Jed, don't stop – don't–" And then her cries became frantic. "Jed – oh God–! Jed, hold me – yes – oh yesss……"
Jed held her tightly as her climax came, and he had to take a very deep breath when her body arched fiercely against his. The gasps she gave as the aftershocks jerked her body were almost his undoing and he struggled against the almost overwhelming need to thrust himself inside her, knowing that he needed to give her time to recover. Eventually she subsided into peace and collapsed limply against him, still with small whimpers that came with every exhaled breath. And then she started to sob and he held her even tighter to stop her sliding into the water, knowing that her tears were the tears of release. "It's okay, darling, it's okay."
Finally she opened her tear-filled eyes, wiped her damp cheeks and looked at him. "I love you so much."
"I know," he said gently, then, knowing that she needed a few minutes respite, said "You want some more champagne?"
She looked at him. "You okay with that?"
He smiled. "Yeah – I can wait till you're ready again."
"Okay then," she nodded and he reached for her glass and gave it to her. She took a sip and looked at him. "That was heaven," she said, her eyes still lazy with contentment.
"I aim to please," Jed grinned.
"Yeah, well, you did that all right." With a deep intake of breath and the satisfied smile still on her face, Abbey sat herself down on the ledge that ran round the tub and put her glass down. "Where are the chocolates?"
Jed raised his eyebrows. "You want a chocolate orgasm too?"
She laughed. "I just need chocolate!"
"So says the woman who deprives me of cheesecake and steaks and pizza!"
"Oh shut up and pass me the chocolates!"
Jed grinned, then leaned over to the box of Belgian chocolates that she had put down at the side of the tub. He took one and held it to her mouth
Abbey leant back and took his fingers into her mouth at the same time as the chocolate.
"Whoa," he gasped as her tongue on his fingers sent an electric reaction through him and then laughed. "You want another chocolate?"
"No, but I'd like some more champagne."
After glancing at her, Jed leaned forward and dipped his first two fingers into his glass of champagne at the side of the tub, and then held them out to her. Taking a deep breath, Abbey put out her hand to take his and then slowly, sensually, her tongue licked the champagne from his fingers.
Jed's eyes flickered closed as the powerful wave of desire ripped through him. When he opened them again, Abbey was grinning at him. "Just hack it, boyfriend!" Playfully she pushed him backwards so that he lost his balance and fell into the water.
Coming up for air, spluttering and coughing, he pushed his wet hair back from his face with both hands and laughed. "Okay, two can play at that game!"
She ducked as he scooped a handful of water in her direction. "Missed!" she said gleefully, and then gasped as the next handful went straight into her face. "Oh!" She wiped it away with her hands and then shook her wet hair. Quickly she stood up from the ledge and used both hands to throw water at him.
After a couple of minutes' water-fight, they collapsed laughing against each other. "Jed, we've nearly flooded the whole bathroom!" she giggled.
But Jed wasn't looking at the bathroom floor, he was looking down at her – water dripping down her face, her hair in wet curls around her face and her green eyes which were alight with laughter.
"God, I love you so much," he breathed and then kissed her fiercely.
She felt his hard erection against her and pressed herself against him. "Just take me, Jed."
"You ready?"
"Yeah."
She leant back again the ledge, her legs open for him, and Jed moved so that he was between them. As he entered her, she lifted her legs to enclose him and he pushed even deeper into her. "Oh God," he groaned.
And then he was lost, his body taking over as he thrust deeper and deeper inside her.
Abbey felt the deep rush of renewed arousal inside her and she moved instinctively to match his fierce movements. And when he gasped his final "Abbey!" she reached heaven again with him.
