Despite the cool water Poppy could feel the tips of her ears burning up. The Pop Queen didn't think this would be this much of a problem, she's seen Branch... mostly naked before.

"Already started before me Poppifer?" The teal troll opened the door, looking as naked as the day the he was born, showing no shame at all as he had one hand on his hip and the other leaning against the door, "Shame. I would have loved to take the clothes off you. Next time hm?" Branch winked as he slowly walked to the edge of the bathtub.

Poppy tried very hard to keep her eyes on his face, "Uhm... maybe? I... I'm sorry! I must look like a flustered mess huh?"

Branch chuckles and takes her hand, bringing her wrist to his lips and kissing her pulse point. Poppy's sure he can feel her rapid heartbeat against his lips.

"You're adorable to me. Always. Move over a bit, I want to be able to put my arms around you." The Pop Queen turned her face downwards and as she moved forward to sink in just a bit deeper, the water now almost past her shoulders. Hopefully the bubbles are hiding all Poppy's more intimate spots from view.

The Pop Queen feel his body sliding behind hers, his legs spreading to accommodate her body between them. By now Poppy's sure that her blush has made it's way past her neck. Poppy jumps and let out a small yelp, much to Branch's amusement, as she felt his hands on her hips, embracing Poppy and pulling her back into him, his muscular chest pressed flush against her back.

"This is nice right? I'm glad I get to do this with my amazing wife." His chuckle is high and happy in her ear, "But you seemed pretty happy when I asked you. Thank you my darling, I was very delighted when you accepted my offer."

"Well I'll do anything to get you to be around me 24/7." The Pop Queen sigh when he lowers his lips to her shoulder, not seemingly to mind the taste of soap and shampoo that faintly lingered on Poppy's skin, "How could I say no?" Poppy's head lulls to the side, giving Branch more room to kiss.

The teal troll hums happily against her skin, his fingers tracing random patterns across her hips and belly. Poppy squirmed a little in his grasp, "Oh. I forgot your ticklish. Good to know." His fingers become more deliberate, and pretty soon she become unable to hold back her laugh.

"Stop. We were having a moment!" Poppy squirmed again in his hold but he only wraps his arms around her tighter.

"Not my fault you're adorable. I simply can't help myself around you. I want to tease you." Branch kisses the spot behind her ear, a spot he knows drives Poppy crazy. And he was right. The moment his lips made contact a pleasant shiver bolted through her own body like lightning.

"S-Shut up." Poppy exhales shakily.

Branch smirks against her skin, "Make me."

Poppy pouts but still find herself reaching behind her to cup his cheek. The Pop Queen turned her head just enough for Branch to lean forward and capture her lips in a sweet, gentle, loving kiss. Maybe she should start taking baths with him more often, if he's gonna show her this soft side of him.
