She was teasing him, and it was deliciously maddening. He knew she was just messing with him but he quickly fell into the rhythm of the game. She could tease all she wanted, he wasn't about to be distracted so easily. He continued to kiss and suck on her skin, his tongue brushing over the spot and released her after a few more moments. He smirked to himself as he saw the red mark he had left on her. Success. It was one that was easily hidden by her typical clothing, but he would know it was there. It felt like claiming her as his, like an alpha marking it's territory.

His hand continued its path with no intention of stopping and as he reached between her legs his fingers started to move against her. His other hand rested on her low back, keeping her from moving away from him and he looked down at her with a casual smile. "Hmm, all good options." He considered commenting on more navigation lessons, he did want them, but he also knew her fear of the ocean and didn't want to damper this particular moment and it was lessons on the ocean that he most wanted.

"But I'm not sure that would be enough to pay off your debt, my dear, what else do you suggest?" he asked in his deep voice, his fingers continuing against her.

She tried to act like what he was doing wasn't making her feel any type of way. Her hands remaining steady, slipping into her mask that she wore when training. One that was hiding any surprise or overwhelming feelings that might bubble to her face. She kept her eyes glued to the ceiling and yet all she could really see was what her mind imagined he looked like holding her. Moving against her and then... she jumped a little as she was brought out of her thoughts with the movement of his hand. The other on her back keeping her in place. "Cheater," She whispered, refusing to look him in the eye. For she knew if she did, it was game over for her.

"Not enough?" She retorted, trying to push her voice to sound anything more than breathless. "Even if all three are stacked together, I can try and cook for you. Or clean your apartment." She said with a small smile. "I am sure if those are not good enough... I could always keep you on your back." She finally moved her eyes to his, a small smile playing on her lips.

He smirked as she called him a cheater but never faltered in his intentional movements as she tried to think of other options. "Hmmm," he hummed thoughtfully as she tossed out a few equally boring ideas. He knew perfectly well that she knew the kind of answer her was looking for. He knew she was teasing him with these nonsensical answers. Though the image of her on the floor 'cleaning'...wearing very little...had peeked his interest.

He grinned at her final suggestion, his eyes meeting hers as she finally looked at him. And then, seemingly of nowhere, he hesitated and his smile faltered a little, as did the movement of his fingers which stopped and pulled away just enough so that he was no longer quite touching her.

"Alys?" he asked, a look of deep concern filled his face. "You know I love you for more than just your body...right?" he looked almost sad as he spoke.

Her breathing had hitched from his movements. He was always a quick study on her. On how to make her just melt into him and be utterly lost in him. He was strong and there was something so appealing about how he controlled her. Maybe it was from her military training, used to being strong and in control. Logan made it easy to let him direct things and control her.

Her eyes sliding shut with his actions and her heart hammering in her chest. This wasn’t exactly what she had in mind for their bath but she certainly wasn’t complaining. Or looking to change this course they were on.

So when he stopped, abruptly, she looked at him with confusion, eyes opening to stare at him. “I hope that hasn’t change. I like to think this was just icing on the cake. That you find me as attractive as you do.” she responded. Though she tilted her head lightly. Did he think the same of her? She was all over him just as much as he was all over her. “You know I love you. Like,” her hand moved to rest over his heart. “You. The man you are with me and for others. I love you, it’s just a bonus that you are able to make me quiver with just a touch.” she bumped her nose lightly against his.

“... I feel like that sounds way cheesier than I meant it to.” she laughed with a light flush to her cheeks.

Logan didn't really know why he had had that thought when he had. He had never felt concerned about this before but he suddenly just wanted to be sure. He loved her so intensely that he was desperate for her to know that his mind was not only on the sexual spark between them. A spark that was more intense and passionate than anything he'd ever experienced in his life.

He was comforted by her words and smiled tenderly as she bumped her nose against his and he returned the gesture lovingly. "I make you quiver, do I?" he purred with a playful smirk and his fingers moved forward again to what he had been doing before.

She almost pressed him for an answer when she didn't hear one at first. Though the gentle returned gestures of theirs soothed her a bit. It was their gesture. It was an odd one, something she had never done with anyone else. And yet it seemed perfect for them.

Her hands slid up to capture his face though her hips surged just a little when he returned to his movements. "If you really need to ask that, then clearly you haven't been paying much attention." She grinned. The man was talented. It shouldn't have been surprising as she knew him on the training field. But still.

"Have I gotten a chance to tell you about... the mountain work?" She groaned lightly, breaking her sentence. But she wasn't going to have him win her that easily. Even if she was pulling him closer to her in the water.

Their love for each other was something he clung to desperately, now more than ever before. He needed her and he couldn't be happier. He couldn't imagine loving anyone or anything as much as he loved her, no one would ever replace her, there was no one else for him. He grinned as she worked on continuing their conversation and he didn't let up for even a moment. "You haven't, no, how is that going?" he asked speaking at least slightly more deeply and intimately than if it were a typical casual conversation.

Damn him for his ability to focus on more than one thing. His hand on her made it hard for her to think of their conversation, and his hand holding her in place made it impossible for her to get away from him. Not that she really wanted to. Her lips dropped to the crook of his neck, speaking softly as if they were in a crowded room and she didn’t want anyone else to hear.

“Good. Surprising. Tiring.” she said between gentle kisses. Letting out a soft sigh of defeat and pulled back, “You win.” and with that she placed her lips on his with a desperate passion and pulled him closer to her.

To be fair, it was easier to multitask when it wasn't your body being teased like this. He tilted his head towards hers as she placed kisses on his skin, humming softly. He smirked when she finally gave in and kissed her passionately. He still kept her in place but his hands began to move from teasing to intentional and giving her body what it craved, pushing her towards a release. He never made a move to introduce his own pleasure into the equation. This was about her and that was how he liked it. And after what he had done recently, he felt like this was the least he could do.

He whispered sweet and erotic words of encouragement to her as he worked, urging her onwards.

Logan had her melting against him. He was offering it all to be about her, and usually she’d try and drag him into it. But his steady hands on her kept her in place, the words he whispered to her, made her think that he might resist her pull to have this about them both. So, for that moment, she greedily took what he offered until she was coming undone against his hand.

Alys trembled against him, collapsed against his chest as the waves slowed for her. Looking back up at him with bright eyes. “I love you,” she whispered. Brushing a soft kiss to his cheek. “Are you ready to go home?” she asked him. Knowing that their time was probably slowly approaching as well for the private bath.

Logan released his tight hold on her and gently stroked her back as she trembled against him, placing soft kisses to her head. He grinned as she looked back up at him. "I love you so much, Freckles," he said, placing a single kiss to the tip of her nose. He looked around the room at her question and nodded. "Ya, let's go, but you'll have to bring me back some time," he said with a smile. "I promise to be better behaved." He smirked and tossed her a wink.

He stood, his arms moving beneath her thighs to keep her wrapped around him as he walked through the water back towards the steps.

She grinned at him, nodding her head lightly as his lips brushed her nose. Wrapping herself around him when he moved them through the water, not surprised at all that he didn’t want to release her yet to walk on her own accord. She took the opportunity to run her hands over his muscular back and then chest.

“You? Better behaved?” she teased. “Don't you dare.”

She loved him. She loved the passion between the two of them. She loved the way he craved her, and it fueled that animalistic need in her that craved him. Even after the struggle after their last time, she felt like she recovered well from it. If it was her he was using like that, now that she knew more, she was glad to be used.

Logan chuckled. "As you wish," he said with a smirk and slipped his hands up to grip her backside with a playful squeeze. As they reached the stairs he let her back onto her feet and followed after her with a playful swat at her butt, his face alight with an easy, playful nature that she was the only one to really see these days.

They got dried off and redressed. Once he was ready he remembered he had the necklace to give her back at home. "Are you ready?" he asked her, adjusting his wet hair with his fingers.
