"Mmhmm," she said to Nate. He loved her. Enough to do some freaky stuff and perv through her closet, apparently. And turn on the shower and fan (these were mostly noises she heard, not necessarily acts she witnessed because she was 'just resting her eyes'). She legitimately felt a warmth of appreciation toward him, not just for doing the favor, but for being intelligent and chivalrous and thoughtful. His pretty mouth had kissed her head again before Eric began to lurch himself to standing. One last ear rub for the road...
When the love doctor removed his hand from her, they both felt it was begrudgingly, and she brought her knees together and pulled her legs back up to the comfort of the lounger. He needed to go wander through the shower, she thought. He'd earned it. But he chose to carry her along with loving support and she melted into his (probably) tired arms. Once again, she felt herself temporarily amending one of her standard guidelines: I do not get carried. As the water tickled and cleansed her skin, Zap looked toward Nate through the open archway. "You're going to go read, aren't you?" she accused, but with a very fond smile.
"I will always honor you, my love."
Her eyes closed and her body hugged to Eric's shoulders and neck and arms, and her fond smile shifted to a pleased crinkle of her nose and a nuzzle to his neck. Her throat emitted a noise akin to purring, and finally she began to shift her weight to climb down and allow them both to get clean. She hugged him again once her feet were on the tiles. "Honor and obey?" she teased with her cheek against his pec. Sincerely: "I was right. And I'm going to honor both of you." Eva kissed his chest, then cheek, "I promise." Then she splashed his face with the handful of water she'd gathered.
