Hopefully he felt the same even as she refused to let go of his hand until she had to, and even as she took the chance to enjoy having the bath to herself for the very last few seconds. He was probably too damn tall for a lot of things, but Nariko was woefully short and so she fit perfectly in the tub and sunk to her neck while looking up at him.

"A fair and just argument if I've ever heard one!" And then she reached out and took his hand, guided herself up to stand but took a kiss first, which was what she thought he meant as far as using his mouth. If there was some other meaning to that, well ... It probably wouldn't be a true wedding night without one surprise. For now she forced herself to pull away because trying to get out of a bath while kissing was asking for an embarrassing head injury.
