The smell of roses whiffed through my nose when I entered our place. Baffled by the smell, I turned on the lights and dropped my stuff on the sofa. Oh my God! I didn’t know how many vases of roses there were, but they were everywhere. Every way I looked was red. Seeing a note on the table, I picked it up.

Soon to be Mrs. Knight,

I told you I was going to make it up to you for being an ass. Follow the rose petals on the floor so I can finish what I started in your office. I was thinking of you all day.

TKLS,

Soon to be your husband and a father

With a huge smile on my face, I shifted my eyes to the floor, and sure enough there were rose petals. Following the trail heading upstairs, I started taking my clothes off. The rose petals led me to the bathroom. I could see glowing lights. What was Max up to?

Candles of different sizes filled the bathroom: on the counter, on the floor, and even around the bathtub. My eyes grew wide at the beautiful, serene ambiance. Off to the side of the bathtub were two glasses and a champagne bottle.

Soft instrumental music filled the air and rose petals floated on the water. Seeing steam rise, I knew Max had recently filled it up. It was no wonder he’d kept texting me when I was on my way home. “Max?” I called softly when he was nowhere to be found. Almost all the way undressed, I was about to take off my underwear and bra to get into the tub.

When I felt a warm pair of hands capturing me from behind, I gasped lightly and melted into Max’s chest, especially when he purposely rubbed his dick on my ass. Feeling his flesh brought me to another level of excitement.

“Let me help you with that,” he whispered in my ear. He unhooked my bra and allowed the straps to slip off my shoulders ever so slowly with his help. His feather-light touch was driving me insane. “And let me help you with this one.”

Max came around to the front of me and got down on his knees. After he gave me that sexy grin, he tugged my G-string with his teeth and pulled it down to the floor. Starting from my toes, he licked his way up to...oh my God! I sucked in air when his tongue circled around the sensitive spot at the junction of my thighs.

Wanting more of what he was doing, I spread my legs for him. Hearing a deep, satisfied growl, it was obvious Max knew I was enjoying this way too much. When his tongue moved higher, passing my stomach to my nipple, I crumbled. My legs became weak, and got even weaker when he gathered my arms behind my back and sucked the day lights out of my br**sts. Holy Jesus! I was already climaxing.

“I hope you can forgive me,” he breathed. He didn’t give me a chance to respond. The room spun when Max lifted me up. Thank goodness he had...I wanted to drop to the floor from sensation overload.

“Thank you for my goodies.” I wanted to tell him before I forgot.

“This is just the beginning.” With one careful step, we were submerged in the water. All of my worries faded in the perfect temperature, like the way the petals drifted away. It was just the right amount of warmth. Having my back against Max’s chest gave me the support I needed. Leaning my head against his shoulder, I exhaled a deep breath as I watched water waving back and forth across the length of the tub.

“I forgive you, Max,” I said, closing my eyes.

Max pulled my hair to one side; his lips were caressing my cheek. “I don’t want you to forgive me just yet.”

I opened my eyes, suddenly feeling a little dread. “Did you do something else?”

Feeling Max’s chest vibrate without a sound indicated he was trying to hide his laughter. What was so funny? There was no humor in Max doing something I didn’t like.

“I wouldn’t dare.” Max extended my arm out of the water. With a single rose petal, he lightly rubbed my arm. The fragrance of roses grew stronger being surrounded by them. “I think you should forgive me after I show you how sorry I am. But before I do, we need to talk.”

I nodded, knowing Max was right. He was more of a problem solver, and I was the one who wanted to run away from them.

“We should tell our parents,” he continued. “I’m going to assume you haven’t told yours. And I think we should get married before our baby is born. It’s a good thing I proposed to you before you got pregnant. You can’t use that excuse that I only wanted to marry you because you’re pregnant. Women are so complicated. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.” Max chuckled, shaking his head. “Don’t you agree with me?”

I turned around to face him. My hair was wet and pulled back from the soft massage he was giving me on my head while talking. Max wiped away the few drops of water trickling down my face. It always made me smile when he was taking care of me.

Leaning back against the tub, I could see steam rising to his gorgeous face. His body spread out naked was a beautiful sight. Tilting his head back to slide a little lower, his lips curled into that sly, sexy grin that made me crazy for him. When he raked his hair back, a few beads of water trickled down his firm, sculptured arm and some down the side of his forehead. It was a mouthwatering sight. Max in the bathtub, just like this, was going to be framed in my mind...forever. Feeling aroused tingles building up, I anchored to him with my legs on either side of him. “You’re probably right.” Picking up a rose petal, I started to caress his cheek with it.

Max guided his hands to my ass and left them there. “I’m glad you agree. I thought you were going to fight me on getting married earlier than we had planned.”

“I want to be Mrs. Knight,” I said against his lips. After slowly gliding my tongue across his lips, I slithered inside of his mouth.
