He slid his hands around her and cupped her arse, pulled her closer. “Wait a sec. Are you telling me that if I propose to you properly, you’ll marry me?”

Rafe watched her like a hawk, watched for all of her usual tells, her body language, her subtle ticks, and when she threw attitude at him and said, “No,” he grinned like a fool.

“Liar.”

Chapter Ten

Rafe leaned his forearm on the shower wall and closed his eyes, visions of Jane’s perfect breasts and wet pussy filling his mind as he stroked his rock-hard cock.

That afternoon, Jane had agreed to let him take the edge off her need and finger-fuck her sweet cunt, but just as he’d unzipped her jeans, her dad had come home and Rafe had thought it prudent to leave.

His dick had been as hard as granite ever since, and taking matters into his own hands had become necessary.

Taking his time, he worked himself up, wanting his orgasm and the feeling of total bliss that accompanied it to last as long as possible. He altered his speed and grip—fast and loose, slow and tight—and his head fell forwards as he felt the telltale signs of impending ecstasy grip the base of his spine and work its way towards his balls—

“Rafe?” Oliver banged on the bathroom door.

Rafe growled through gritted teeth and tried to ignore him.

Almost there… wet pussy, tight, warm, pink—

“Come on, Rafe.” Oliver banged on the door again.

“Fuck off!” Rafe yelled back, then groaned with disappointment as one of the most unsatisfying orgasms of his existence spilled from his cock and was quickly washed down the drain.

Flicking off the taps with more force than necessary, he didn’t even bother to wrap a towel around his hips before yanking the bathroom door open and barking at his brother. “What?”

Grinning from ear to ear as he took in Rafe’s nakedness and pissed-off expression, Ollie said, “Did I interrupt something?”

Teeth clenched, Rafe ground out his reply. “I’m going to kill you. Slowly. Painfully.”

“You can try,” Ollie chuckled. “Shorty.”

“What do you want, Ollie?”

“For you to hurry up and get your arse out of the shower before you use up all the hot water. I have a date tonight.”

Rafe blew out a breath and grabbed a towel, then stepped aside for his brother to enter. “You know there are two other bathrooms you could have used?” Wrapping the towel around his hips, he grabbed his toothbrush and toothpaste.

“True. But when two showers are on at once, the water pressure sucks, and you have no idea what it takes to maintain this hair,” Ollie said, loosening the long blond braid that fell down his back.

Continuing to brush his teeth with one hand, Rafe held up two fingers on his other hand and imitated scissors cutting.

“Not fucking likely, bro. A man’s hair is sacred.”

Rafe smirked around his toothbrush, knowing exactly how he’d get his revenge the next time Ollie pissed him off.

“So, why were you wanking?” his brother asked as he peeled off his jeans and T-shirt and climbed in the shower. “I thought you and Janie were bumping uglies again.”

Rafe spit toothpaste into the sink and rinsed his mouth out. “We’re not ‘bumping uglies’, you crass arsehole.”

“Well you’re definitely doing something. We all heard Jane last night. And this morning. The walls aren’t exactly thick in this house, bro.”

“Fuck,” Rafe muttered and scrubbed his hands over his head, then leaned back against the vanity. He needed to talk to someone about this, and Ollie was as good a man as any. And his tendency to be blunt with his siblings could be in Rafe’s favour. “Jane wants to have sex but I’m… hesitant.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want things to go back to the way they were between us. I want a real relationship with her this time. Not just sex.”
