Slow, Sated Sundays- Hot Tub Togetherness Time

[thatwasjustadream]

Welcome to a new year of prompts with a theme- and for the next few weeks, we return to Slow, Sated Sundays!

This week, your prompt is: Hot Tub Togetherness

Maybe your fictional darlings are on vacation - or perhaps right at home, finally getting a weekend. Maybe it's warm in the water but snowing overhead, or perhaps it's a relaxing hour between summer adventures. Who knows, maybe it's a case fic complete with fake coupling that requires a dip at a resort.

Wherever the setting, here's to a little slow togetherness - with bubbles, waves, and whatever they inspire.
