I’m in Enzo’s shower, scrubbing the sex smell off me when he steps in behind me, wraps his arms around my waist, and kisses my shoulder. I scream and jump, but he holds me firm.
“Unless the condo is empty, you better get out of this shower right now.”
He laughs. “I have to get clean too.”
I circle in his arms, but he kisses me so hard, my back presses to the tiled wall. His tongue slides into my mouth, and for a moment, everything outside of the steam-filled shower disappears. But the fear of his family being out in the living room soon surfaces as his hand lands between my legs, opening my thighs.
I push him back. “You’re crazy. You stay there. I’m going to finish rinsing my body, then you can have the shower to yourself.”
He laughs.
How can he laugh? I’m sure he doesn’t want me to meet his family. It seems like a big step for him. One he’s not ready for.
“What’s the plan? Am I staying holed up in the bedroom or are you sneaking me out?”
He sits on the ledge of the shower, staring at me with those flirtatious eyes. “You’re meeting the family.”
My stomach drops. “No, I’m not.”
“Well, it’s only Ma and Pa and Blanca. You know Dom and Carm already. Since it’s here, you don’t have to worry about meeting any aunts and uncles.”
“Yippee?”
“I get that neither of us planned for this, but here we are. Let’s just roll with it.”
I rinse off and step out, purposely keeping my back to him. Mostly because I might throw up at any minute. Meet his parents? When it wasn’t like he wanted me to meet them, it’s a forced meeting and Enzo had no choice?
I pull my hair back into a bun then open my cosmetic bag to apply my makeup. “So they’re, like, outside the door?”
“Yep.”
“And you’re showering, why? Shouldn’t you be out there entertaining them?”
Through his clear glass shower door, I see suds falling out of his hair, down his sculpted body, and to the floor of the shower.
“My mom knows my kitchen, and my brothers and dad will watch the game. Dom and Blanca probably won’t be here for a bit anyway.”
My hand falls to my stomach with the thought of being here all day. I hoist myself onto the countertop and apply my foundation. “I feel like I should go.”
The water turns off, and he stands in the shower, water dripping down his body. I follow one droplet as it falls through the ripples of his abs. Damn, sometimes I still can’t believe I get to have sex with this man whenever I want.
“Too late for you to go.”
“I could say a quick hello, stay for a half hour, and say I have somewhere to be.” I continue distracting myself with my makeup routine.
“Ma isn’t going to let you go. We have no choice but to face this.”
I stare at him through the mirror. He’s busy drying himself off and tying the towel around his waist.
“Are you okay with this?” I ask the question I really want an answer to.
He shrugs, unhooking the towel that’s wrapped around my chest. “There you go. I like you better naked.”
I grab the towel, feeling modest due to the fact that his parents are only twenty feet away. “Answer my question.”
