“Start the water, simple man.” He pushed his sweats off his hips.
“Gladly.”
I stepped closer to the shower and turned on the faucet. I fiddled with the temperature for a moment, then stuck my hand under the spray to test it.
A big, warm body pressed against my back and strong arms wrapped around my middle.
“Love you.” I leaned back against him.
“Love you too.” He rested his cheek against mine. The gentle rasp of our stubble sent a little pulse of awareness through me. Both Graham and I preferred to stay clean shaven, but I loved it when he left a little beard burn on me. Like a brand so everyone could see he’d claimed me.
“I think giving Nick my number was both a huge mistake, and the best idea ever.”
He chuckled and held me tighter. “Let me guess. He bombarded you with random messages all day and you still have no idea what you two were talking about.”
“Pretty much. And I think I agreed to hang out with him tomorrow after work.”
“You did?” He slid his hands to the waistband of my underwear and toyed with the elastic.
“Or we did. I’m not sure.”
“What did the texts say? I’ll translate them for you.”
“He asked if I had plans tomorrow. I said I was working. He asked what I was doing after, and I said hanging out with you.”
“And what did he say?”
“He said awesome, tell Gray I want Hawaiian pizza.”
Graham laughed and tugged my underwear down and over my thighs. “Yup. You made plans. Looks like we’re hanging out with Nick tomorrow. Is that okay?”
“Yeah. Of course. He’s a fun kid.” I wiggled my knees to work the briefs down my legs. They puddled around my ankles, and I stepped out of them.
“How’s the water?”
I stuck my hand back under the spray. “Perfect.”
He let go of me and patted my ass. “Get your butt in there so we can have dinner. Then you can show me more of your game.”
“Are you sure?” I pulled the curtain back and stepped into the tub. “We can watch a show or movie if you want.”
“I’m sure. I like watching you play.”
Graham had gotten a TV for his room, and I’d brought over my spare console. Originally the plan had been for me to teach Graham how to play, but we’d quickly learned he was more of an observer than a gamer. He didn’t have a ton of patience when it came to gaming, and while his curses bordered on hilarious, we’d decided it was best if we didn’t try to make gaming together a couple’s activity.
Instead he liked to cuddle up to me while I played and explained the different games and strategies to him. I loved that he took an interest in my hobbies, even if he didn’t want to participate in them.
Graham and I had become inseparable in the month we’d been together, and I could count on one hand the number of nights we’d slept apart. Sex was a huge part of our relationship, but it was the emotional intimacy that I looked forward to every night. Orgasms were awesome, but nothing beat cuddling and just enjoying being together.
He genuinely loved spending time with me, whether or not we were doing anything in particular. Just existing in the same space was enough for us, even when we were doing our own thing.
He climbed into the tub with me and closed the curtain.
“There you go.” He nudged me forward so the water streamed down my chest and body. “Now let me take care of you.”
Closing my eyes, I tipped my head back.
Strong hands coasted over my back and shoulders, gently soothing my tense muscles. I surrendered to his care and soaked in the warmth and love radiating out of him as he took his time massaging, then washing me.
