The sounds of the other three women leaving had long since faded. Now, only Cassius and Julie remained, half-submerged in the spring, the water a soothing blanket around them.
Cassius was leaning against a large, smooth boulder, his face tipped toward the silent expanse of the night sky, occasionally watching the steam ghosting over the water. Julie was tucked completely against his side, her arm draped across his chest, her head nestled perfectly beneath his chin.
She was completely naked, her form slick and glowing under the starlight. She had her hand wrapped tightly around his, and in a gesture both innocent and intensely intimate, she pressed her breasts firmly against his side, her nipples lightly poking his bicep.
They looked like a picture of peaceful, sated affection.
This went on for a long, quiet stretch until finally Cassius turned his head, a soft smile touching his lips as he looked down at her.
