“I’m taking care of the other reason that brought me here,” Cara said matter-of-factly while she peeled off the upper part of her red Mord’Sith leather.
“Which is?” Kahlan asked softly, distractedly; incapable of taking her eyes off the blonde’s beautiful back.
“Taking advantage of a rare hot spring,” Cara said as if it had been obvious to Kahlan. “You don’t mind me joining you, do you Confessor?” she added looking over her shoulder at Kahlan’s glazed look. “Your modesty will be… preserved by the water,” she said smirking.
“No, I don’t mind,” Kahlan said quickly, suspecting Cara had caught her staring. “I’ll give you privacy to undress and get inside the pond,” the brunette added, turning around to make good use of the scented soap.
“I don’t really need it,” Cara said chuckling.
The Mother Confessor rolled her eyes and shook her head amusedly at Cara’s response. The blonde woman felt so comfortable and sure about her body. It had shocked Kahlan a little when they started traveling together, but now Kahlan found the blonde’s confidence… very enthralling.
Cara left her leathers and undergarments on top of the rock and sauntered naked to the edge of the pond. She smiled when she noticed Kahlan facing away from her. Seeing the pond was deep enough, Cara opted to dive inside the hot water. Kahlan looked in the direction of the splash Cara’s body provoked feeling the water ripple as the Mord’Sith shot passed her out into the spring. Kahlan was waiting to see where the Mord’Sith would surface, when Cara breached the water suddenly, a couple of feet in front of her. The blonde’s body launched itself from under the surface, her back to Kahlan, all of her upper body outside the water. When Cara came back down, she swam backwards until her back hit the pond’s wall. She sighed audibly and rested her arms along a rocky protuberance on the wall, her left hand almost touching Kahlan’s shoulder.
“Do you miss this from the Mord’Sith temples?” Kahlan asked, admiring Cara in such a relaxed state.
“What do you mean by this? Taking a hot bath in the company of a captivating woman?” Cara asked slowly, looking sideways at Kahlan.
The Confessor blushed at hearing Cara’s description of the moment and consequently of herself. She nodded her head shyly, lowering her gaze to the water.
“No,” the blonde said promptly.
“No?” Kahlan asked incredulous, looking back at Cara. That was not the answer she was expecting to ear.
“I never did this on the Mord’Sith temples,” Cara explained her answer.
“I thought Mord’Sith had large hot baths, where they bathed together,” Kahlan said confused, her cheeks were flushing even more and it had nothing to do with the heated water.
“You thought correctly,” Cara said nodding her head, but didn’t add anything more.
“You never participated in those baths? Is that what you mean?” Kahlan asked, very confused with Cara’s short answers.
“I did, a lot.” Cara said smirking. “I bathed many times in those hot baths, surrounded with even hotter women,” she continued with an insinuating tone. Cara turned her head fully to the brunette, seeing her mixed look of confusion, embarrassment and curiosity. “But in all those years I never found a single woman I could describe as captivating to me,” the blonde finished.
Aware of the meaning of Cara’s words, Kahlan smiled shyly and bit her lower lip. “That’s the second complement you given me since you got here,” Kahlan finally said quietly.
“I’m just telling you the truth, that’s all,” Cara said turning her gaze to the expanse of water in front of her and shrugging her shoulders dismissingly. Then, she turned to Kahlan and motioned for the brunette to give her the soap. Once Kahlan did, the blonde rubbed it between her hands and started washing her hair.
On impulse, Kahlan touched the Mord’Sith’s left shoulder and looked at the soap in her hands. “Let me help you with that,” she offered and extended her hand silently asking Cara to give her the soap.
Cara gave the soap back to the brunette, let herself be turned around by the Confessor’s soft pressing touch on her shoulder and enjoyed Kahlan’s hands massaging her scalp. The blonde relaxed under Kahlan’s ministrations so much that she let a breathy moan escape. Noticing the pause of Kahlan’s movements on her hair, the Mord’Sith knew the sound had affected Kahlan; so she smirked and moaned again, this time prolonging it more.
Kahlan’s hands started to tremble when she heard the seductive sounds coming from Cara’s mouth. The blonde was simply spellbinding. It never ceased to amaze her how Cara could compliment her and then dismiss it like something unimportant in the next second. Kahlan was aware that that was Cara’s way of protecting herself; the blonde meant every word, her eyes always betrayed her, but talking openly like that was something she wasn’t used to doing.
“You know, I’ve never done this either, until I met you,” Kahlan revealed dreamily, after a while.
“Done what?” Cara asked vaguely.
“Taken a bath with a captivating woman,” Kahlan whispered sweetly in the blonde’s ear. The Confessor saw Cara start to turn around. “Time to rinse,” the brunette said playfully, before the blonde could complete her turn and shoved the Mord’Sith playfully under. Cara struggled against Kahlan’s hands keeping her under the surface. After a short while Kahlan let go of her hold on the blonde’s shoulders and backed off before Cara resurfaced.
“You’re aware you’re going to pay for that, right?” Cara threatened with a smirk, blinking her eyes rapidly and smoothing her hair back with her hands.
Kahlan shuddered under the blonde’s predatory gaze. Cara looked like she wanted to ravish her right there. When the blonde started to move closer, Kahlan splashed water at the Mord’Sith’s face in self defense. The Confessor felt so carefree, like a little kid, here playing in the water with Cara. A bubbling laugh started to emerge in her chest and she let it go with delight. As expected, Cara gave as good as she got and matched every last one of Kahlan’s water attacks.

After they stopped the playful war, the women got out of the pond to redress themselves. Cara respectfully turned around to let Kahlan get out and put her traveling dress back on first. When she heard the brunette clear her throat lightly, Cara got out of the water and put on her long sleeved oversized shirt. Kahlan had her back to Cara, the brunette was using a cloth to absorb the excess of water from her long dark hair. When she didn’t heard the characteristic sound of leather being pulled tight, she looked over her shoulder and saw Cara in that poor excuse for clothing that didn’t even reach her mid thigh.
Kahlan walked towards the blonde, leaving the coat she was about to dress on top of her corset on the ground. She looked the Mord’Sith up and down, noticing how toned her legs were. Spirits, this woman is going to drive me crazy, Kahlan thought, smiling to herself.
“What are you doing?” the Confessor asked, noticing how Cara was positioning her leathers on top of the rock.
“I have to oil my leathers,” Cara said without looking up and pointing to a small bottle with oil inside. “Otherwise, all the dust in the road is going to ruin them,” she explained further.
Kahlan nodded her head, even knowing that Cara couldn’t see her movement since she had her back turned to her. The Confessor didn’t care because something on the back of Cara’s neck got her attention. She inched closer to the blonde and raised her hand to remove the few blond tresses that were preventing her to see clearly. She smiled when her suspicions were confirmed.
“What are you doing, Kahlan?” Cara inquired, not moving away from the brunette’s ghostly touch.
“You have a freckle right here,” she said touching a finger to the back of Cara’s neck. “I hadn’t noticed it before. Your leather’s collar hides it,” Kahlan said.
“I may have a few freckles, Confessor,” Cara said, turning around to face a mesmerized Kahlan. “But I still can’t beat you on that,” she said with a half smile, letting her eyes trail Kahlan’s freckled kissed face.
“I guess you can’t,” the Confessor confirmed chuckling. Without hesitating, Kahlan took half a step towards Cara, leaving them a couple of inches apart. The brunette put her left hand on Cara’s hip and followed with her own eyes as her right hand traveled to Cara’s chest. With the wide neckline of the blonde’s shirt, Kahlan could see other freckles that were usually hidden by red leather.
