“You can use my bathroom. It’s the last bedroom at the end of the hall. You can put on my clothes. Just get whatever you need from my drawers.”
Talon had always been free with his things. It made me feel like he had nothing to hide. He was open and honest with his feelings. I’d missed that. I hadn’t planned on taking a shower, but now that he offered, it sounded great.
I found his room with its heavy furniture and bathroom that was filled with light from the many windows. I peeled off my sweaty clothes and stepped into the huge walk-in shower. There were multiple showerheads. It was something I’d never experienced before, and I turned all of them on. The pounding of the water beat a steady drum on my skin.
I lifted my head, allowing the water to erase the sweat and grime. I used a body wash that smelled like Talon on my skin. Would I smell like this after sex with him? I wanted to feel his skin rub over mine as he thrust inside me. The thought sent flames dancing over my skin. My core ached with need.
I wanted to touch myself, but I was standing in the middle of Talon’s shower, and I hadn’t locked the door. He could walk in at any moment and find me pleasuring myself. I wondered if he did, whether he’d join me in the shower. If he’d finish this fire he’d started.
Instead of giving in to my baser instincts, I quickly washed my skin and then my hair before turning off the water and stepping out. The tiles seemed to radiate heat, and when I grabbed a towel, it was warm, too. I could get used to this luxury.
I was slow to get dressed because I felt so warm and cozy in the bathroom. I wrapped a towel over my hair and another around my body so I could look for clothes to wear. The bedroom was cooler, so I rifled through his dresser until I found a hoodie and sweatpants. They were too big, but they smelled like Talon.
I followed the smell of spices to the kitchen where Talon stood bent over his phone. “How was the shower?”
“Amazing. I love those showerheads and the heated floor and towels. I could get used to it.”
Talon flashed me a smile. “You’re welcome to use it anytime.”
Is that something that friends offered? I didn’t think so. A real friend would have offered the guest bathroom. There was something intimate about using the same one Talon stood naked in every day.
Talon stepped closer, his eyes darkening. “You smell like me.”
“I used your body wash. I hope that was okay.”
“Of course.” His gaze traveled down my body, making me hyperaware of how close he stood. “My clothes are huge on you.”
His scrutiny made me feel like I was still wrapped in the heated towel. “They’re cozy.”
“I like having you here in my space and wearing my clothes.” His voice was low and guttural, making my nipples pebble.
I was very conscious that my hair was still wet, and I wasn’t wearing anything underneath his clothes.
There was something about the way he was studying me, as if he was thinking of all the ways he wanted to devour me.
Chapter 12
Talon
She licked her lips, drawing my attention. Heat spread through my body as I stepped closer. I felt like I had no control over my body. “I wanted to be patient.”
Holly’s eyes widened as I moved closer.
“I wanted to wait things out. To see how you felt. To see if it was possible for you to move past our history and give us another chance.”
Holly’s eyes sparked. “And now?”
I brushed a strand of hair out of her face, then cupped her jaw. “I can’t hold back anymore. Every minute we spend together, I only want you more. Tell me you want me, too.”
She nodded.
Every muscle in my body tightened. “I need the words.”
Her gaze caught mine and held. “I want you, Talon.”
Before she finished her sentence, I lifted her, her legs naturally wrapping around my hips.
“Only you,” she whispered before my lips captured hers.
