Anticipation
Artemis lay still, anticipating her touch, just the two of them alone in the room. He felt himself relax under her hands, relishing the swirling arabesques she drew upon his skin. She was physically absorbing the tension from his body and gently lulling him into a dreamlike state. No-one else was so soothing or so good for him. He felt her fingers trickle down his back, lingering over every muscle, and almost shivered in anticipation as they moved towards his hips and he submitted willingly to her ministrations.
"Thank you, Irina" he murmured, "Blackrock Spa is lucky to have you."
Author's Note: That wasn't what you anticipated, was it?
