 Stepping into the warm water felt wonderful to her aching muscles.  She rested her head against the back of the tub and closed her eyes.  Alisa must not have been paying attention to the time because a knock on the inner wall of the bathroom startled her.
    “Ahem.”
    Her eyes fluttered open to see Logan standing there, already wearing his pressed tux. “Oh, hey, sweetheart.”
    “Hey yourself.”
    “You’re dressed already?”
    “It’s 1:00 p.m., babe.”
    Alisa let a long sigh hiss through her lips.  “Dammit.”
    “Good bath, I take it?”
    “I just have a lot on my mind.”
    Logan was careful not to dip into the tub as he leaned over and pressed a kiss onto her forehead.  “You know you can always talk to me about it.”
    Alisa shrugged, though very reluctant to get out of the comfortable bathwater. “I’ll snap out of it. I guess it’s time to get outta here, as much as I don’t want to.”
    Pulling herself up from the tub, the water dripped off of her skin and back into the bath, bubbles covering most of her.  She stepped out of the water onto the non-slip rug and reached for her towel, dabbing away some of the bubbles.   When she felt lips caressing the back of her neck, she stopped.
    Logan pressed himself against her, and lucky for him she had dried her backside or his tux would be soaked.  However, the slight bulge in his pants poking at her gave her reason to believe he wouldn’t have cared.  “Mmm, you know how crazy you make me?”
    A giggle slipped past her lips, and she smiled.  “If we had time, I’d say you could show me …”
    His hands explored her body, brushing over her breasts, “I’d say we have time.”
    She turned to face him, the towel wrapped around her before she pressed her body against him again.  Alisa offered a kiss before pulling away, “You’re all ready to go.”
    “Yeah, I am,” he growled, leaning down to bite her ear.
    “Dressed.  You’re dressed already.” Alisa giggled and attempted to evade his teasing, “We’ll have time later, baby.”
    Like a hungry beast, he gave a deep growl of desire then a whimper of defeat before conceding with a disappointed sigh.  “Not fair.”
    “My makeup isn’t going to do itself.” Alisa laughed, “And I’m not going to let you blame me for showing up fashionably late to our own premiere.”
    “You don’t need all of that …” Logan stated, kissing at her neck.
    “Sweetie…”
    “You have an hour and a half before the car gets here.  Think you can manage?”
    “I’ll be ready.”  She retrieved the makeup bag from the counter and disappeared into the bedroom.
    Sure enough, an hour and a half later, Alisa had transformed from the sweat-covered, gym-worked look into a look worthy of being on the cover of a magazine.  It took a lot of practice to perfect her makeup the way she had but after attending events throughout the year, she learned how to get a tasteful and glamorous look in less time. The dress Logan had purchased from the boutique in town was a black and white, sleeveless number.  The top half was form fitting, and the bottom half was sheer, tulle material, the skirt falling just below her knees.  She looked elegant and comfortable, and her hair was in a simple twist, pulling most of its length to one side.  Alisa preferred not to have much along the lines of accessories, so a single silver bangle with black dangling earrings to match went perfectly with the antique looking ring she had bought months before. Not to mention, everything accented her large wedding band perfectly.
    “This is not something I have gotten used to yet.” Alisa fidgeted on the drive over.
    “What? Looking beautiful?” Logan grinned and leaned in to kiss her neck. “Get used to it; you were born that way.”
    She blushed, “No ... This whole escorted around like royalty thing.  This is for our movie!  It’s ... it’s making me so anxious.  What if I fall out there?”
    Logan chuckled.  He placed
