Tobias walks into the bathroom, I hear water running. After a few minutes, Theo lifts me, carrying me into the bathroom. I feel him step into the bath before sitting down with me still on his lap. The water is warm, and I shiver from the contrast of hot and cold. I feel a hand move between my legs and I flinch, my eyes fly open. I’m much too tender for them to do anything right now.
“Tobias is just cleaning you,” Theo speaks into my hair.
I look up and can see Tobias, leaning over the tub. He looks down at me, before kissing my forehead. I let Tobias clean me, eyes closing as I can feel sleep trying to take over. Water runs down my hair and the sides of my face, I shift, trying to open my eyes that feel heavy. Fingers run through my hair before massaging what smells like strawberry shampoo through it. Tobias’ skilled fingers massage my scalp, I relax under his touch before falling asleep against Theo.
I can hear them talking as I’m lifted out of the tub; my eyes open. Tobias walks out and Theo follows, as I move my face to Theo’s neck kissing it. I move my sleepy legs and Theo lets go as I place my feet on the floor standing on unsteady legs. Tobias wasn’t lying when he said he was going to fuck me, my body feels like it just ran a marathon, every part of me hurts. Tobias starts drying my hair, and Theo reaches over grabbing another towel off the bed and he helps me dry my body. When I’m dry, Theo leans over to kiss my lips.
“I’m going to start dinner,” he says, leaving me with Tobias. I walk over, dropping onto the bed, when Tobias walks over pulling one of his shirts over my head and I automatically push my arms through it. He lifts my chin with his fingers, his eyes searching mine. “You okay?” I nod, before his hand cups my cheek. I lean into his hand, it’s so big and warm, and I love the smell of his skin.
“Rest, I will wake you when dinner is done. Then we need to talk.” I nod and climb up the bed to the center, before crashing onto the mattress, completely exhausted.
Gentle, cold hands wake me up, I shiver at his cold touch. “Dinner, babe, you should eat.” I roll over, completely exhausted before snuggling back under the covers. Tobias places his hand on my head before turning it over and feeling it with the back of his hand.
“Does she feel like she is burning up to you?” Theo touches my back and I flinch from the coldness before he too places his hand on my forehead. “I’m not sure her skin always feels hot to me,” he says.
“I’m fine I just need sleep,” I grumble, rolling onto my stomach, trying to dive back into my slumber.
Stupid men, always trying to force feed me and keep me awake. Tobias flicks the light on, the light shining through the backs of my eyelids. I squeeze my eyes tighter before pulling my pillow over my head. “Yep, she is fine, just being a brat,” Tobias says as he kneels on the bed beside me. In one swift movement, he rolls me and picks me up.
“Hey, what are you doing, I was trying to sleep.” I groan. He tosses me over his shoulder. “Why do you have to be such a dick? I was enjoying my sleep before you ruined it.” He slaps my bare ass before walking out the door. I stretch my sore limbs, stretching out like a stiff board on his shoulder, before relaxing and slumping over it again. I can feel his whiskers on my hip before he turns his face as he is walking down the stairs and bites the side of my butt.
I hiss and turn, smacking him on the head as he descends down the stairs. Well, I’m awake now. I brace my elbows, digging them into his shoulder and propping my chin up, I know they won’t feel comfortable to him. Theo is walking behind me, and I reach my arm to him, he grips my fingers with his.
“Theo would have let me sleep, that’s why he’s my favorite.” I state, sticking my tongue out at Theo. He winks at me, following behind us.
“Well, I’m not Theo and I have something to show you. Besides, who goes to bed when it isn’t even 8 o’clock yet?”
Tobias dumps me off the side of his shoulder, I squeal before landing on the couch, the wind being knocked out of me. I land with a soft thud, grabbing the gray cushion and lob it at him. I hear him chuckle before walking into the kitchen followed by Theo.
“You coming?” Tobias sings out.
“Nope, I’m good here.”
“Imogen.” I roll my eyes before climbing off the couch. I follow them into the kitchen which is empty, I can see dinner plated up on the counter but no Theo or Tobias. I feel a cool breeze brush over my skin before I see the curtains above the sink move. The door leading out to the back deck is ajar. I walk over to it and stick my head outside.
On the deck is a rose bush. I step out and see Theo and Tobias walking down the steps onto the footpath. “Grab the rose bush.” I look at the pot that has a white rose tree in it. They don’t honestly expect me to carry that do they? I won’t even be able to get my arms around the pot it sits in, let alone carry it with all its dirt.
“Yeah, sure thing, nothing like some night-time gardening,” I mock as I walk over to the ceramic pot.
The thorns look sharp, but it has about thirty huge white roses on it. I try to drag it toward the stairs. Once to the top step, I look down the five steps. trying to figure out how the hell I’m actually going to get down the stairs without either breaking the pot or getting pricked by its thorns. “You’re kidding right?” I say before turning and finding Theo directly behind me, watching me. “What are you doing? Help!”
“I think I would rather enjoy the view of your panty-less ass trying to drag that over to us.”
