“It’s my damn shower!” she cried defensively. “I pay the water bill. I should get to take as long as I want in there.”
I chuckled and waved a hand at her. “Come on. Just let me experiment. Slide over here and turn around.”
“Fine,” she muttered in defiance. “Now you can learn just how much rinsing it actually takes to get all the soap out.”
When she started to slide my way, I sat up straighter and held my breath, shifting my legs around so she could sit between my thighs.
Chloe turned and all kinds of her naked flesh brushed against all kinds of mine under the water. I mean, it was mostly knees and legs and feet, but still…I hissed out a breath, enjoying the contact.
Once she was situated with her knees up toward her chest and her back to me, she grabbed the glass of the wine I’d poured for her and took a slow drink. I swallowed, glad she was closer to me, but I was even more relieved that she couldn’t see every expression I made now.
Grabbing a bottle of shampoo, I held it out in front of her. “This one?”
She nodded. “Mm-hmm,” she said and set the wineglass down before hugging her knees.
“Perfect,” I murmured. After setting the shampoo back down, I grabbed an empty pitcher sitting nearby. It was purely for display and had some long-stem fake flowers sitting in it, but I tipped them out, letting them spill to the floor beside the tub. Then I dipped the pitcher in the bubble bath and filled it with water before lifting it to pour carefully onto the back of Chloe’s hair.
As the blond locks became drenched and turned darker, I caught the wet strands between my fingers and slowly hand-combed the silken tresses.
I dipped the pitcher again, and murmured, “Tip your head back,” in a rough voice that I tried to keep polite, but it was full of too much sensual, heated lust to behave properly.
Stupid voice.
I cleared my throat as she obeyed, letting her head fall back under my command. But damn, damn, damn… I was already picturing her being this compliant and willing in bed, where we were both naked and panting.
My hand shook a little as I poured the water over her head, making sure it streamed down the back of her hair and didn’t get into her face. I followed it with my palm, petting her locks until I was satisfied. Then I reached for the shampoo and began to lather suds into the wet strands, massaging her scalp as I went.
Chloe straight up groaned, and I nearly came in my shorts.
“Like that?” I whispered, leaning forward to ask into her ear.
She shuddered from the puff of my breath on the side of her neck, then nodded.
I stayed that close behind her, wondering…
What if I made a move?
Would she rebuff me and kick me out of her house completely? Or would she accept it? I was torn and honestly too afraid to even try.
I couldn’t remember ever wanting anyone as much as I wanted her right now, but… I needed to move carefully on this. If I made the slightest wrong action, I could fail and lose any chance to make future moves as well.
When I caught a glimpse of the front of her chest over her shoulder and saw that her nipples were hard and pressing against the wet cloth of her tank top, I swallowed. She definitely wasn’t cold. It was fucking hot in here; sweat was beading along my brow. So the only explanation left for hard nipples was arousal.
Right?
God, I hoped so.
Closing my eyes after I grabbed the pitcher and filled it with more water, I took a breath to build up my nerve, then I opened my lashes and began to pour slowly, combing her hair with my fingers as I rinsed. Then I just kind of kept stroking my fingers down over her shoulder and along the side of her arm until they disappeared into the bubbles.
Leaning in closer and keeping my face directly behind hers, I tipped my head down just enough to rest my forehead on the back of her hair. My fingers gently sifted through a couple more wet strands before I murmured, “God, you smell good.”
And that’s what did it.
She jolted like a frightened colt and then rushed to stand up, water pouring off her in sheets.
“I think I’m done,” she announced abruptly as I pulled back in surprise. Then, grabbing a towel, she wrapped it around her securely and stepped out of the tub, leaving me behind.
Mouthing the wordfuck,I bowed my head and then gritted my teeth.
