My mouth is dry. My heart is going to explode out of my chest. The last thing I’m feeling right now is scared. Anxious, of course. Horny, absolutely. This crazy connection the two of us have has only blossomed after last night’s sex. I’m so blinded by the need to get my hands on him, that I’m forgetting the previous moments when I first woke and was freaking the hell out.

“I’m going to shower. Maybe take care of this.” He nods to where his fist is lazily working his dick. “Unless you want to join me.” He grins again and winks playfully. “And you know, give me a hand.”

Fuck. He’s so tempting. Without missing a beat, I go from semi morning wood to rock hard, just from a few well-placed, sexy words. Whatever the hell kind of chaos my head is going through, my body is going in the opposite direction. Maybe for once I’ll take my cues from it, instead of drowning in second thoughts and worries.

Tossing the bedding aside and slowly get to my feet, I savor a moment of turning the tables and letting him stare at me. He doesn’t disappoint. His blue eyes darken with hunger as they roll over my body. Even though I’m well aware he looked his fill last night, the wash of pleasure on his face is still unexpected. And it makes me so damn happy.

Holding a hand out toward me, he lifts one dark brow. “So…shower?”

Dumfounded by the hard intensity of desire that threads through my body, I slide my hand into his and nod. Silently, he leads me into the large master bath, pulling me into an embrace while the water heats. Unspoken words float between us as we stand there on the cold tile floor and hold one another. Without saying so, I know this is his way of reassuring me, of letting me know that whatever happens next I will be the guide. Maybe it’s more than lust between us. Maybe it’s love, but then again, maybe it’s not. What it most certainly is, however, is necessary. Not having him in my life is something I cannot fathom. Regardless of the state of our relationship—friends, lovers or more—it is vital that I not lose him.

Fear is a byproduct of something new, something unexpected. Hesitation is too. All of this I’m fully aware of. But somewhere along the line while I was refuting his attempts to get close and trying too hard to maintain distance between us, I fellthereanyway. And I’m so very happy I did.
