Lying on my side, I watched him breathe as he stared happily at the ceiling. His mouth was fixed in a crooked grin, and I could feel that mine was too. His chest rose and fell in slow, lazy movements, and my eyes wandered down the length of his tattoo. I couldn’t explain why, but it drove me wild, and I had the compulsion to lick it.
He’d probably let me now. Hell, he probably would have let me before, to be honest, but especially now. But before I could do that, I was going to have to own up to what was going through my mind and be as honest as he had been with me. He deserved that. I owed him that, after everything I knew I put him through. He deserved to know everything, and I deserved to be as uncomfortable as I knew I was going to be when I told him.
I was not looking forward to it, but it had to be done. Whatever was going to happen between the two of us needed to start with a foundation of me being completely, painfully honest. I had to give him the chance to react, even if it meant that it would be the end.

“How about you and I go get in the shower,” I said, kissing her forehead. She shifted in my arm and laughed, putting her hand on my chest.
“Already?” she asked. “I think I might need a few minutes.”
“Alright, how about an actual shower, then?” I asked, laughing. She giggled, and I turned on my side. “Frankly, I just want to get under some hot water and feel clean. You are more than welcome to join.”
“Go get it started,” Danica said. “I’ll be in there in a second.”
Nodding, I rolled out of bed and went into the bathroom, grabbing two bathrobes on the way. There was no point in getting fully dressed yet, since I didn’t know exactly what we were going to do going forward but sitting around naked probably wasn’t ideal either.
I turned the water on in the bathroom and got the water as hot as I could stand it before grabbing a few towels and making sure I had the shampoo in the tub. Just as I moved the curtain aside to step in, Danica opened the door of the bathroom and grinned. She was so gorgeous, especially with sex hair and her flushed body still completely naked.
“Do you have a brush?” she asked.
“In the top drawer,” I said. “Come join me when you’re ready.”
I hopped inside the shower and began to rinse off, grateful for the hot water that pounded my skin and even further relaxed me. I might have fallen asleep under the soothing heat and pressure had Danica not been outside, her silhouette dark against the light on the curtain. I peeked out to stare at her naked ass for a moment while she finished brushing her hair.
Danica stepped in as I was soaping up, and I handed the body wash to her as I stepped into the stream of water. We showered efficiently, with a distinct lack of attempts to arouse one another. It wasn’t awkward, or as if either of us seemed to feel like it was a mistake, but it seemed like something was on her mind. I could tell it was probably about whatever had scared her off in the first place, and the reason we had started talking.
As much as I wanted to just bask in the afterglow of our romp in the bed, I knew I couldn’t let her go without an explanation. Not this time. Not when she didn’t really have a reason to come back anymore. I didn’t push her in the shower, and I kept myself from touching her too much, since my cock was already hard, and I didn’t want her to feel like I was pressuring her.
When I was clean, I stepped out, handing her a moisturizing cream that I had on the sink. She laughed and poked her head out of the shower, her hair piled up on her head to avoid the water and failing miserably.
“Why do you have this?” she asked.
“It’s restorative,” I said. “I use it for my hands, mostly. They get really beat up in the fields.”
“That makes sense. You should use it on your face too. It feels amazing, and it holds off wrinkles.”
“Are you saying I’m old?” I teasingly asked.
“No,” she said. “You’re gorgeous. I’m just saying this is precisely what I use at home.”
“Oh, well, good. You know you have some here now.”
She smiled tightly and closed the curtain, and I realized that was pretty leading. I was insinuating that this wouldn’t be the first time she would be in my shower, needing some moisturizer. Oh well. We were going to have that conversation in a few minutes anyway.
