It was the end of the day, and I was dead on my feet. Working as an assistant to the secretary of the Volturi was a lot more difficult than it looked. I was fairly sure that I was doing most of the work if I was being honest, but I enjoyed it, nonetheless.
Although today had been rougher than usual. I had been doing a lot of back and forth, and running errands in between. Walking around in heels was a chore and my feet were killing me. I was sure I would die from foot pain before I ever had the chance to be turned. And on top of that Alec wasn't back from overseas yet.
I paused in the middle of opening my bedroom door, a sound echoing from the bathroom. Water? I was immediately on full alert. No one in this castle would hurt me, at least not purposefully. And they usually didn't enter my room without permission.
Except Alec.
I rushed towards that bathroom and in my excitement tripped, going down like a ton of bricks.
"Sonofabitch!" I hissed between clenched teeth.
"Anna?"
I felt a cold hand on my cheek and looked up to see Alec.
"Hi." I winced.
"What happened?"
"I tripped."
He shook his head, carefully checking me over, his hands cold against my skin. No serious injuries, just a small scrape on my knee and thankfully no blood. He pulled me to my feet, giving me a soft kiss in greeting.
"What am I going to do with you, amore?"
"Love me?" I batted my eyes at him with a small grin.
"Hai già il mio cuore, tesoro." He kissed my forehead.
I glared up and him and he smirked in return, knowing full well that I couldn't understand a damn word he was saying.
"Come on, amore. I already have a bath ready for you."
I squeaked as he hoisted me into the air and carried me into my in-suite bathroom. The large marble tub was nearly full, and I was happy to see it was brimming over with bubbles. And then I noticed all the lit candles tucked into nearly every nook and cranny in the bathroom. My eyebrows rose a little as he sat me down and knelt to begin pulling off my heels.
"What's the occasion?"
"Does there have to be one?"
"I suppose not. It's just rare for you to do something like this."
He paused momentarily, rubbing his cool thumb over one of my ankles. "I simply wanted to surprise you."
He then looked at me with a small smile that was very un-Alec-like.
"Are you okay?"
He snorted. "Yes, amore."
He helped me undress, letting his hands linger softly as he caressed my skin and then proceeded to help me enter the tub. I gleefully sank into the water until just the very tip of my nose and my head were seen above the bubbles. I relaxed for a minute before spotting something off. I picked it up and shot Alec an incredulous look.
"Is- is this a rubber duck?"
It most definitely a rubber duck. What made me start to giggle was the fact that not only did Alec bring me a rubber duck for my bath of all things, but it was a vampire rubber duck, with a cute little fangs, a cape and Dracula-looking hairdo to match. My giggles burst into full on laughter until I had tears in my eyes.
"This really made my day. Thank you love."
I looked over to see Alec sitting and watching me, arms crossed on the edge of the tub, that same un-Ale-like smile still on his face.
"Are you not joining me?"
"No cara. Desidero semplicemente sedermi e godermi la tua vista." He said softly, his hand finding its way to my hair and running his hands through it until it came undone from its careful chignon.
I groaned, dropping my head back. "Alec."
"I said that I wouldn't want to get between and your rubber duck."
I burst into another fit of giggles. "That is so not what you said."
He only grinned at me as he rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the loofah on the edge of the tub. After putting a dab of soap on it, he carefully began to wash the back of my neck and arms. Ever so slowly he made his way down, keeping his touch soft and light. I squirmed a little as the loofah brushed over my nipples and further down.
"Alec."
His name came from my lips as a breathy moan. Alec paused, watching me carefully before smirking at me.
"Sì amore?"
At least I knew those words. I got to my knees and pulled him to me by his collar, melding my lips to his. I heard a soft splash as he dropped the loofah, and his hands gripped my waist.
"I missed you, Alec." I breathed when we came back up for air.
Alec didn't reply, choosing to kiss me again and bite my bottom lip softly. Before I knew what was happening, he was sliding into the tub behind me, legs on either side.
"Uhm- babe. You're still fully clothed."
"I know."
I let out a squeak as he pulled me to him, my back to his front, and spreading my legs to prop up on either side of his open knees. I could already feel him hardening behind me and I squirmed a little, confused as to exactly what he was doing.
"Relax, Anna." He breathed, lips against my neck.
He cupped one of my breasts, thumb flicking over my nipple softly before moving in small circles. His other hand crept downwards to my exposed pussy, quickly sliding his fingers through my wet folds and pushing a finger into me. And then another. Then he somehow managed to graze my clit a little with his thumb. I sucked in a harsh breath, my head falling backwards onto his shoulder. I melted into him and began rocking my hips slowly.
"That's it, pretty girl."
His lips latched onto my neck, sucking gently while his hands continued their assault. The sensations between the heat of the water and the iciness of his skin had me coming undone within minutes. My body tensed as my orgasm flooded through me and I couldn't help but moan his name as I came.
Finally, I collapsed, and he held me to him, placing kisses along my neck and shoulder. We said nothing more, perfectly content to bask in the afterglow. I would definitely repay him in kind, but that was for later. Finally, all cleaned up, he got me out of the tub and wrapped me up in a towel.
"I went ahead and set out your favorite pajamas for you." Alec kissed my cheek and began shucking off his shirt.
"Am I even going to need the pajamas?" I asked as I eyed him appreciatively.
He gave me a chuckle, nodding his head. "Yes. You are practically falling asleep on your feet, love. Go get dressed and I will join you in a moment."
He was right of course. I was exhausted and my orgasm had really taken it out on me, seeing as I was still rather jelly legged. I nodded, but not before turning around and grabbing my new favorite toy from the now empty tub.
Alec paused, giving me a look.
"Really?"
"Yup." I popped the end of the 'p'. "He's gonna go on my nightstand until the next bath time. I present to thee, Count Duckula!"
Alec rolled his eyes and shook his head.
Alice Cullen had been right; his girl had loved the stupid rubber duck. Then he paused in horror. What exactly had Alice seen?
