Faith had never expected to come home to roses all over the house. She had had a long night patrolling as her and the Slayers in New Orleans had been hunting down some ancient vampire. It had been a hard week but tonight had made up for it because they had finally found the vampire, and Faith had been the one to deliver the finishing blow with the stake to the vampire’s heart. But she was sore all over and bruised. She knew that by tomorrow the bruises would be gone but she still was in a lot of pain until they went away. All she had wanted to do was get home to Robin and then sleep. However there were roses of all colours everywhere, soft music playing on the stereo, and Robin was nowhere in sight. She made her way to their bedroom and was surprised to find that room bathed in the soft glow of candlelight, on the bed that they shared were roses petals in pinks, reds, whites, yellows, and oranges. But still there was no Robin. She started undressing as she walked towards the ensuite bathroom, where she wanted to take a long hot shower. She was wondering where her man was when she found him leaning against the counter in the bathroom. He had outdone himself with the bathroom, the room was bathed in candlelight as well, and there were rose petals in the warm bath. 

“I took the liberty of running your bath for you.” Robin said. 

“Uh, thanks.” Faith was hesitant, their relationship was still really new and he hadn’t really romanced her before. 

“So did you dust the vamp?” 
”Yeah, I am sore all over.”
”Well why don’t we finish getting you out of those things and into this tub.”
”Well I was gonna have a shower.”

“Trust me, the bath will work wonders on you.”
”Ok.” Faith shrugged off her shirt. “So the vampire was ugly…”
”Shhh,” Robin place a finger against her lips, silencing her. “No more shop talk.”

“Ok.” 

Robin pushed her hands away as she went to undo her bra, when Faith attempted to open her mouth to protest, he silenced her this time with a kiss. Faith was feeling like she was helpless and she didn’t know if she liked the feeling. Ever since she could remember she had been dependent on herself, but Robin was trying to take care of her. For his sake, she decided to relax and enjoy it; he had obviously gone to a lot of trouble. She sighed as he gently pushed her panties down her legs and gently rubbed her thighs, before pushing the panties further down, until they were off of her legs. He then pulled out the elastic that she had used to put her hair up into a ponytail. 

“Get into the bath, Faith.”
”But…”
”The tub, Faith, now.” Robin looked at her with one eyebrow raised.

“Geesh you can take the principal out of the school, but you can’t take the principal out of the man.” 
”No more shop talk Faith, yours or mine.” Robin said. 
”Did you get the job?” Faith asked referring to the job as principal that Robin had applied for. 

“Didn’t I just say no more shop talk?” Robin asked as he lightly swatted her rear end. 
”Hey!” 
”Well you should listen a bit more.” 
”Fine, fine.” Faith grumbled as she got into the bathtub. 

She sighed as the warmth hit her body. She had never had the luxury of bathing in rose-scented water in a candle-lit room. Normally all she had ever had time for were showers. When she had been in prison, baths weren’t an option, and before that when she had been younger, they had lived in such small apartments that showers were the only things that would fit into the dinky bathrooms. So it was a new luxury for her and a surprisingly sensuous luxury. Robin handed her a glass of wine. 
”I don’t know if I should give this to you or not.”
”Why not?” 
”Because you’ve already not listened to me.” Robin grinned at her. 
”Well you’re just gonna have to give it to me.”
”If you insist.” Robin said as she took the glass from him.

“I could get used to coming home like this.” Faith said as Robin knelt down beside the tub.

“Could you now?” 
”Yeah. Aren’t you gonna join me?” 
”Not yet.” 
”Why not?” 
”Because I want you to enjoy this.” Robin picked up the loofah and put some rose scented bath gel onto it. “Give me your leg.”
Faith obliged and set the glass down on the ledge as Robin started to bathe her. If she had thought that the whole bath was sensuous before, Robin made it ten times more when he started to bathe her. She had never been pampered before like this, even when the Mayor had been treating her like a favoured daughter. This was different, very different. Robin took extra time with her bruises, and by the time he was done, Faith was panting with desire. 
”Finish your wine.”
”But..”
”Shh, Faith, just finish your wine.”
”Alright.” Faith gulped down the rest of the wine. “Finished.” She gave him a wicked smile.

“Now get out.”
”But aren’t you gonna join me?”
”I would rather not be mopping up water tomorrow.”
Faith sighed and got out of the tub. Robin wrapped her up in a large white towel and began to dry her off, carefully massaging all of her sore muscles. Once he was finished, he pushed her towards the door of their bedroom. Faith walked over to the bed, while Robin let out the water. He then followed Faith into the bedroom, holding a small bottle. 
”What’s that?” 
”It’s something for me to massage into your muscles and bruises, it should help them feel better.”
”They are feeling a lot better.” 
”This should help speed up the healing.”
”Is it from Willow?” 
”Yes, she sent it the other day.” 
”Gotta love that girl.”
”Hopefully not too much.” Robin grinned at her. 

“Nah, she’s not my type.”
”Good. Now lay down.” 
Faith lay down on the bed on her stomach, and Robin removed the towel. He hissed as he saw the full extent of her bruises, before in the bathroom he had been too captivated by her eyes and her face to really take a good look at her back.

“I see this vamp did a number on you.”
”No more shop talk, Robin.”
”Okay.” 

He continued massaging the rose scented oil into her back and legs. Soon the massage turned into something more. Gone were the healing caresses to be replaced by something far more intimate and sexual. Faith rolled over onto her back, and started kissing Robin. His hands found their way to her breasts and he started rubbing her nipples. 

“Uh, I think someone has too many clothes on.” Faith said as she pulled out his shirt. 
”Really?” 
”Yeah.” Faith pulled the shirt off over his head, and then undid his pants.

“Hey.” 
”Yeah?” 
”Let’s not rush things.”
”But…” Faith was silenced again by another one of his kisses. 

Robin grabbed her wrists and held them captive above her head while he kissed her lips. He then moved down her jaw line to her neck, trailing kisses all the way as he made his way to her breasts. Faith moaned as he reached his destination and took one of her nipples in his mouth. He lightly bit it and she moaned even more. He released her wrists and took her other nipple into his fingers and played with it while he teased the other one with his mouth. Faith’s hands crept to his hair and she tugged on it. He looked up at her and kissed her on the lips again. He then trailed his way back down to her other breast and gave it the same ministrations that the other one had received. He slowly moved his hand down her body, while he was sucking on her breast, and reached her thighs. Faith’s hands moved back to the waistband of his pants, but before she could finish undoing them, he abruptly moved. She moaned when she felt him blow on her clit. She pulled him up to her again, to desperate for him to let him touch her with his tongue. He looked at her questioningly and she just shook her head as she pulled his pants off of him. He smiled at her and kissed her again, and helped to remove his pants. He knelt between her thighs and whispered “So beautiful.” And then he entered her sweet warmth. Faith had always thought the sex between them had been explosive but now it was multiplied. She thought that she was going to climax, the minute he had entered her. The two started a rhythm. Finally, just when he thought that he couldn’t take another second, Faith started to climax and Robin followed her. Afterwards the two lay there entwined. He smiled at her and kissed her before she could say a word.
”Go to sleep Faith, we’ll talk in the morning.” 
”I love you, Robin.” 
”I love you too.”
He pulled her underneath the covers and the two fell asleep.
