Decide to sit beside the bear.

As you slide into the hot water beside him, he shifts slightly. It's an unnecessary move, and he doesn't really go anywhere, but when you sit down beside him, you realize his arm is now slightly curled behind you, and his thumb is pressing against your shoulder.

You settle, letting the hot bubbling water clean off the spunk and sweat and lube from earlier, and enjoying the way it massages your body. Closer up, you glance a look at the bear and you meet his gaze. His thumb moves just enough to brush against your shoulder.

"Feels good," he says. You're pretty sure he's not just talking about the hot tub.

"Yeah," you say. His thumb continues to press against you, sliding up and down the back of your shoulder.
