He smirks devilishly, and then he shakes his head before blurring to me.
“I need to get dinner ready, or I would. Besides, if I get in that shower right now, we’d never get out,” he says while jerking my hips to meet his already hard, ready-to-go erection.
I grin such a foolish smile once more, and then his mimicked one matches mine as he kisses me again.
“Hurry up,” he urges while reluctantly releasing me, and my eyes follow him as he walks over to the kitchen area to start pulling down plates.
“When did you get so domestic?” I tease.
“Shower,” he playfully scolds, and I laugh as I shut the door behind me.
The warm water surges free to fall over me the moment I step in, and I wash the dried blood away to form a red pool swirling over the drain. My hair soaks under the water, and I feel the new life rushing through me as I wash away the terrible pieces of the day.
I could have lost him. I almost did. That fucking bitch.
“Hale!” I yell out as the tears flow from my eyes, and he’s in the room within a second.
“What?” he panics as he jerks the shower curtain open.
His eyes look over my body, and then he narrows his eyes suspiciously at me until my lips fall over his. My soaking wet body presses against his, and he climbs in the shower with me while still wearing his pants. I kiss him with neediness as I cling to him, and I taste the concern and confusion in his breaths.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” he murmurs against my lips.
“I just wanted to feel you,” I murmur softly, and he smiles behind the kiss as he pulls me closer to his body.
“I’m here,” he coos while smiling bigger.
Then I pull back while still holding onto him as I stare him in the eyes.
“We need to go through her stuff,” I shiver out.
“Gabe’s people are already doing that,” he murmurs encouragingly. “He said he’d call if they found anything of any use. It’s doubtful she carried any incriminating information on this trip though.”
“She set this up. She told them where you’d be and what you’d be doing.”
“I know, baby. I know. She can’t do anything else though. Just finish your shower, and then come be with me. Let’s make this night about us. We deserve this, and baby, I just… I need this more than you know. Forget all the crazy for tonight.”
I sigh as I lean back into him, and his lips gingerly stroke mine before he climbs back out. I smirk as I watch him through the transparent curtain, and I smile when he drops his pants to the floor to grab a towel.
His perfect body is only slightly obscured by the watery curtain, and then he disappears back out of the room. Hale. It’s always been Hale.
I shut the water off to wrap up in a towel, and I smile when I walk out to see the shirt laid out for me. He’s not in the room right now, so I bypass his shirt as I walk into the bedroom off to the right. I rifle through my bag he must have brought in, and I find some of my savage’s lingerie.
The sexy, red corseted top has crisscrossing laces which go all the way down the front - showing a good two inches of skin all the way down. The matching red underwear has a laced up pattern as well, and I pull on the black stockings before clipping them into place. I towel dry my hair until it’s not dripping wet, and then I throw on some touches of makeup to add some more seduction.
I slip into some of my bright red heels before walking back out, and I see him sitting down the last of the two plates as I pick up his shirt he had laid out.
“I’m almost done,” he says with his back turned, and I smirk as I walk on into the kitchen to stand behind him as he pulls some napkins from the drawer.
I wrap my arm around him to lay the shirt down, and he looks at it curiously.
“You didn’t want to-”
He stops short as he turns to face me, and he swallows hard when he sees how I’ve dressed for dinner.
“Damn it,” he breathes while jerking me up, and my legs wrap around his waist as he forces me to the top of the high bar.
I smile behind the devouring kiss before his lips move down to my neck.
