The Lannister Wolf Series

Chapter IX

Evelyn was leaning back in the bath, playing with the bubbles that covered the surface of the water. She leant her head back to drench her hair when she felt a cold rush of air. Assuming it was the maid returning with the ointment for the water, Evelyn didn't move.

Evelyn lifted her head and almost swallowed the water when she recognized the broad back clad in leather, spiky blond hair and sharp jawline. His back was to her but why was he in there in the first place?

"Jaime!" the girl scolded, "What are you doing in here?"
Jaime glanced at her over his shoulder to see that she had covered herself with her arms an was becoming quite flustered.

He smirked, "I came to join you."
Evelyn's amber eyes widened, "You're getting in!?"

Jaime shrugged innocently. "I was planning to just sit and help you wash your hair but you looked so cute drawing hearts in the bubbles I changed my mind."

He smirked when Evelyn glowered and sank into the water so only her eyes were up above the water as she blew bubbles.

Jaime unlaced his jerkin before pulling his shirt off, revealing his sweaty broad back to the girl. He heard the girl moving in the water and looked at her, seeing her about to get up.

Evelyn sensed him watching her and sunk back into the water, "Jaime! Turn around! I'm trying to get out!"
"There's plenty of room in there for both of us," Jaime pointed out calmly.

"I didn't mean that..." Evelyn started but Jaime interrupted her by walking over.

Putting his hands on the side of the tub and leant toward her so their noses were touching.

"I already know what you look like without clothes love," he whispered.

Evelyn's face flushed scarlet and Jaime smiled. The girl peered at him from beneath her long lashes and Jaime felt his throat go dry. Leaning down, he pressed his lips heavily on hers, the girl had to grip his forearms to keep from slipping in the tub. Jaime pushed her head back till it was leaning against the side of the tub and he tilted his head so he could give her a deeper kiss. When he pulled back, Evelyn was flushed, and her eyes half lidded. Jaime smiled, running his lips against her ear.

"Mind if I join you?"
Evelyn swallowed before slowly shaking her head. Jaime smiled before returning to stripping and climbing into the tub. When he got in, he grabbed Evelyn around the waist and pulled her against him. Her back to his chest and sitting between his legs.

"Jaime," the girl gasped, startled. "What..."
Jaime settled his chin on her shoulder and nuzzled her closer to him.

"I told you I would help with your hair."

Evelyn couldn't help but smile. She felt Jaime move around until he froze.

"Um.... Which jar?" he asked.

Evelyn turned around to see that Jaime was considering the three jars of soap with a perplexed look on his face. The girl couldn't help but giggle at how utterly confused he was. She reached over and grabbed the jar full of pale pink soap.

"This is the wash for my hair. It cleanses it of oil and dirt," she said before grabbing the jar full of white soap, "This is the detangler. It makes it easier for me to work through the tangles later. The other one is the body wash."
Jaime smiled as he grabbed the pink soap, "Washing my hair is so much simpler. It's the same soap for head to toe, including hair."
Evelyn smiled as Jaime lathered his pointer and middle finger with the soap before setting the jar down, "Well you don't have long hair."
"You got that right," Jaime replied, massaging the soap into her scalp, "How.... Do I get everything else?"
The girl reached back with both hands and gently grabbed her husband's wrists. She helped him gather all her hair before placing it on the top of her head, so it was basically a mop of black hair. She began to scrub all her hair into the soapy lather on the top of her head and Jaime joined in when he got the idea.
