![]() [[ignoring the christmas decorations cept for around Christmas and adding flowers and ferns around the bathtub :)]] -- "You're going to thoroughly wear me out." Harm told him honestly, It wasn't that she didn't have endurance - she had to, given the fact she was a vampire and had four children - but there was a difference in running around after screaming kids and being exercised...internally. Getting up the stairs took a little while, but he was mostly steady on his feet the entire way there. In the moments between her having the bath water running and telling him he could open his eyes, she looked critically around herself. There had been things about the house that she did do herself. There were many home-improvement projects that she had laboured over. This bathroom was not one of them; it was perfect the way it was. Therefore when he expressed his appreciation of her house, she had to smile. "Thank you." She told him, arms automatically wrapping around his shoulders at his kiss. After a moment she pulled away, murmuring, "Get in." For herself, she stepped around him and unbuttoned the shirt again, slipping it off and folding it gently on top of his other clothes. |

So far this evening was fantastic, dinner was delicious, and dessert was even better. Now it was time to get 'clean'. The bubbles filled the tub as the spicy scent rose in the air, he didn't think he'd smelled anything like that before. Every sense that was stimulated just improved his reaction. Meaningfully, Henry watched Harmony take off his shirt and put it down. Then she said it. Not quite an order, but also not a question. She directed him to get into the tub, and with a smile, he did as he was told, stepping into the tub that was a bit deeper than he anticipated. He sat at one end, holding his hand out to help Harm in as he idly played around with the jacuzzi controls, oh these would be fun to play with. The thing that surprised him was that she'd never thought to have fun in the tub with a magnificent opportunity to be used in that way. |

Harmony could feel Henry's eyes on her back as she removed his shirt, but it didn't make her feel bashful. Maybe if they had been at his place, or in some other location she might have. But he had treated her unbelievably well and this was her turf, so to speak. She waited until she heard the splash of him getting into the water before she turned around, her gaze directly going to his face. He was smiling, as if something struck him as funny at her suggestion, and she attempted to figure it out as she grabbed a hair tie and piled her hair into a bun on top of her head. Only then did she head over to her tub, taking his offered hand though she could have walked in blinded and injured without any problem. Baths meant leisure for her, so a contented sigh slipped from her lips as she slid into the hot, bubbly water. Her eyes closed of their own accord. |

Henry slid ever so slightly to the side so he was beside Harmony and he put his arm around her, kissing the side of her head. "So, tell me what plans you have for the future." Henry continued his line of questioning once more. He figured that with some time to recover from their erotic tryst in the kitchen, they may as well continue talking. If not, he was okay with busying his mouth in other ways. Gazing out the skylight, he was enjoying that tonight was a relatively clear night, meant Spring was officially here. Nothing was worse than the prolonged drudgery of winter. "And if you were not a florist or a ballerina, what would you be?" He asked again, trying to keep communication flowing |

Harmony leaned against Henry, enjoying the gentle flow of the water over her still sensitive skin. Her body felt incredibly sated, comfortable, and powerful. She'd expected him to be completely single-track minded, so it surprised her a little when he switched the conversation to talking about each other again. Or at least, talking about her. The tender kiss to the side of her head made her pause, opening her eyes to look at him. "Promise me for every fact you get out of me, you'll give me one back." Only once she had said that, she considered his options. "I haven't really been looking past the here and now to be honest. I just want my kids to grow up safely and make sure my business continues to be profitable." His next question was harder though. "It depends on whether I'd be a vampire in this hypothetical setting. I tried out being an auror once. I would be...I don't know. I've never thought about this before. I am what I am..." |

Henry thought about the deal then nodded in assurance. "Do you want me to answer my own questions, or you pick them?" He countered. As she talked he thought about what it'd be like for him. He was never out of a job because even if he left the Wizengamot, he had a life as a lawyer, but he didn't know the worries associated with kids. He wasn't a father, and he'd never be an uncle, but to always worry that they're being brought up the right way must drive parents crazy. "Always better to live with what you've been given than in 'what if's'. Sliding across the tub, Henry sat so his knees were pressed against Harm's, but in a daring move, he tugged her wordlessly onto his lap. With a chuckle, he gave her a bubble bath beard. "Sexy." |

Harm shrugged, "A little of both. For now, your questions suffice." Though, she felt bad for not actually having answers to his questions. What did she want for the future? To be happy, obviously. For her children to be happy. She didn't necessarily want to be alone, but that wouldn't be the first time she was. She was a strong woman; she could handle it. She was in control of her life. And yes, she definitely wanted her flower business to bloom but...that was simple pleasures. She was no closer to any real answer. As for what she would be? She actually regretted losing the chance to dance. She loved dancing to any kind of music with a beat. Really, loved it. Instead of trying to find her answers she waited for his, laughing when he pulled her onto his lap. She was wet so she slid easily, wrapping her arms around his neck a second after she settled. The bubbles made her raise her eyebrows at him. So the older man still knew how to act childish. Figures; men and maturity never went hand in hand. Still, she played along, pursing her lips like a model before asking, "You think so?" |

"Hmmm... okay..." He sat there thinking for a moment. "I just want happiness and to have someone to love and care for. Third time's a charm, right?" He said, indicating about marriage, he was still open to the idea of going through it once more. "And, if I couldn't be a lawyer, or in the Wizengamot, I would be a train engineer." He laughed. He'd loved trains since he was a young child, and that love never stopped. As Harmony pursed her lips and then asked, he laughed more. "Definitely." He admitted. Henry leaned in and kissed her again, this time the desire and the hunger made themselves known by a little undertone of urgency in the embrace. When he pulled away, Henry had a trace of Harm's bubble beard and he thoughtfully stroked the bubbles. "If you could go anywhere on vacation, with or without children, where would you go?" He smiled, of course these things would be taken into account for later on. |

"You've been through a divorce twice?" Horror crept into Harmony's voice before she could stop it, not wanting to make it seem like she was judging him. In fact, she was rather impressed. "Divorce is so painful and horrible...how could you be okay putting yourself out there like that again?" It had taken her almost a year before she stopped feeling so hurt and vulnerable. Henry hadn't been planned...he just happened, and he was being appropriately gentle with her in result of sensing that, she thought. But to fall in love and get married, then have it fall apart and go through nasty divorces...twice? She couldn't imagine it. She couldn't even think about it. However she was interested in his completely opposite career choice. "You like trains?" That was an interesting fact. She decided to lighten it up a little bit, but before she could come up with any questions, he leaned in to kiss her. Immediately she joked, "You like models then?" Well, what guys didn't? It was a massive across-the-board common trait. As for a vacation? This didn't require thought at all; she immediately answered, "India." |

"Well, the first time it happened, we were young, and didn't really expect it to happen and it didn't last long. The divorce was amicable and every once in a while her and I get together for coffee and catch up. The second time was nasty because this time around, I had money, possessions and no prenup so she was intent on cleaning me out. Luckily I managed to keep my house and most of the things I walked in with, but I have another year of alimony to deal with. She promised to fight to have it extended, but its one funny thing about being a lawyer, you can make things happen that don't normally happen, and I don't plan on letting her extend the annoyance out for another five years." He told Harm, not exactly the right thing to tell her, but she wanted him to be honest. As much as he could afford to treat Harm and her children well, she now knew he technically supported his ex-wife. "And I am okay with putting myself out there as I feel like everyone has someone." When she asked if he liked models. "I'm over them." He meant it when it came to women, especially since wife 2 was a stick with no actual feminine curves. "But I do have a large train set at my house that I work on meticulously in the time that I don't work." He admitted, but if this was something that stuck between he and Harm, looks like the train is the one that is getting neglected. |

Harmony nodded, understanding completely. That was the way that she and Tyrael might have been...before he changed into an obsessive stalking bastard. The second one was awful though; clearly someone had just wanted him for the gold-digging opportunity. Again she took his hand, rubbing the back of it with her thumb. It sucked to think that there were people out there like that, but he clearly was taking it well. "She sounds like a bitch." Harm said bluntly, nodding at him when he implied that he was okay with commitment. Luckily for both of them, they'd both been hurt and used and...well, maybe they could heal together too. It was a cliche, but she already felt better in that night than she really had in a long, long time. His comment about models interested her, but she didn't further comment on it. "My boys would love that." Everyone had a habit right? She found it endearing. |

Henry shrugged simply, it was nice in the beginning, but aren't all romances? This one was fantastic so far, but if they were together 5, 10 years down the road, would it still be as grand? Harmony's conforting gesture of her hand running across the back of his hand was nice. Especially spending the last 4 years alone for the most part with the exceptions of the few times he had a casual relationship, nothing that would make him take it easy with work for. "Well, how about when we get better acquainted and after we tell your kids, they can come and see it?" He posed the idea to Harm, just as long as it wasn't destroyed, that's all that mattered. |

Things were moving pretty fast. Relationships always seemed to, with her. They'd just jumped into a very physical relationship, and there she was sitting on his lap, completely naked in her tub like he belonged there, just having a simple conversation. She hadn't even attempted to play hard to get. Was that going to be a problem? Was this going to be one of those situations where the romance burned fast and furious...and then flickered out? She thought she was worrying about it too much; they were only on their first date. She would just go with where ever the flow took her, and deal with her insecurities later. His offer to show her boys made her smile, still really impressed that she had somehow managed to find a man with no fear of children. Maybe it was his age, but she was really enjoying it. "We'll see how they take you being around first...but I definitely think they would enjoy that." |

"I think they'll like me, but as much as I love talking about kids and wanting my own one day, how about we change topics? I do want to meet your children, because I want to stick around for a while." He told her openly. He felt like he had a strong connection with Harm, and he wasn't going to give up on it. With a half smile. "We can keep quizzing one another or we can..." he trailed off, pecking at her neck. He felt like he sounded insensitive, but there weren't kids here for a reason, the night was about having an adult-y night, and kid talk wasn't so adult-y. Henry stroked Harm's thigh signaling that he was ready. |

"We can." Harm agreed, mentally admonishing herself. What kind of a mood did talking about exes and children give them? Certainly the same affect as cold marble, she figured. It did comfort her to hear he wasn't about to hit and run though. She supposed that was one reason people were cautious about adding sex too early in the relationship; fear of leaving. Of course, she would just have to wait and see if his words rang true. When he went to change the subjects, he gave her both a verbal suggestion and a nonverbal option. His hand on her thigh made her jump just the tiniest big in surprise, a laugh bubbling from her throat as she settled into him again. Harm made a move to kiss him again, this time softly, and when she pulled back she said, "Stay with me tonight." |

With Harm's return kiss, Henry found himself getting back into the mindset, and then she asked it. She wanted him to stay, and finding no real excuse to leave he smiled warmly. "If that's what you want, then sure." He told her, going back in for a kiss, this time a little deeper, but not one that was aggressive. In that moment, Henry wrapped his wet arms around Harmony and held her close to his torso. It wasn't a usual thing for him to stay the night at a woman's house, especially if he hardly knew her, but it all came back to that addiction he had to her, that he agreed. |

"That's what I want." Harmony told him, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "This house is too quiet and big when I'm alone..." She shrugged a shoulder, "I'm enjoying your company." That wasn't completely the real reason though. A huge part of it was that she missed being held at night. She missed waking up warm in someone's arms. If they were able to do these kinds of physical things, she figured they would be able to extend that to other, less important but no less nice moments. He pulled her close and kissed her again, and she found that things had definitely not burnt out yet. The sensation still sent her reeling, still went back to that one-track distraction. Of course, this time she had more than just imagination in thinking of what he could do to her, and a shiver ran down her spine despite the heat of the water. "So how does one go about...doing this in the tub?" She eventually asked, impish amusement shining in her eyes. She wasn't so embarrassed as she was curious. |
