It took every bit of self-control I could pull together to keep from taking her right there against the shower wall, because dammit, if her body felt this good pressed up against me, being inside her would be incredible.
Forcing myself to slow down, I tore my mouth away from hers, leaving her gasping for more as I turned my attention to her neck and the sensitive spot behind her ear.
“Oh, oh.” Avery arched her back and pressed her palms flat against the tile while I nibbled, kissed, and sucked her neck. “Reid, that feels so good. It’s been so…yes.”
Was she about to tell me how long it’d been since she’d been kissed properly? Touched the way she deserves to be touched? The thought both angered me and fueled me at the same time. Angry because this woman deserved to be worshipped and kissed like the goddess she was every single day. And that fueled me because I was more than happy to give her what she wanted. No, what she needed.
But it wasn’t enough. It was never going to be enough with Avery. I knew that long before I set foot in the shower with her. This would only be the beginning. At least for me. Whatever this was, whatever was going on with her that led her to pull that curtain aside, I didn’t care. Because for me, this was about so much more, and I had to believe she felt it, too.
Leaving her neck, I moved down her body, taking time to lick the rivulets of water off each of her breasts, sucking first one nipple and then the next into my mouth.
I used my hands to knead her perfect mounds until she writhed with desire, thrusting her hips hungrily.
“Reid, I?—”
“I know.” I silenced her with a finger. “I know what you need, sweetheart. And I’m going to give it to you, I promise. But I’m going to do it my way.”
“How did I know you were going to say that?”
I dropped to my knees on the tile and grinned up at her. “Because it’s always my way, sweetheart. You must know that by now?”
She laughed and threaded her hands through my hair. “I just let you think that.” Her wink was wicked sexy and had my cock throbbing.
But I couldn’t deny it. Nor did I care to. Not when her sweet pussy was right in front of me. Oh no, I had other plans, and they involved making my wife scream as she came so hard she forgot whatever had her worked up when she got in the shower tonight.
With a hand on each thigh, I tugged them apart to give me better access.
I looked up long enough to see the look of shock on her face before I buried my face deep. Avery cried out as my tongue traveled the length of her slit before plunging between her sweet folds.
Damn. I was right. She was just as delicious as I knew she would be.
Already so wet for me, her juices coated my tongue as I took my time kissing and licking.
“Reid.” My name was little more than a breath on her lips as she struggled to maintain control. It was the one thing I wanted her to let go of.
“Come for me, Avery.” I looked up and met her eyes. “Let go, sweetheart.” With a wink, I once more bent to my task. This time, my lips locked over her sensitive bud and I suckled with just enough pressure for her to come completely undone.
Her orgasm hit hard and fast. I used one hand to brace her hip while I continued to kiss and lap up her delicious juices before getting to my feet.
I used one hand to wipe my bottom lip before kissing her long and slow. “There,” I said when she could once more focus on me. “Did that help?”
Avery nodded slowly, a sly smile crossing her lips. “Definitely.”
“I aim to please.”
“You certainly did that.” She reached out and dragged a finger down my chest, to my belly and the head of my very hard cock. I shuddered under her touch. “But I think I might need a little more help, still.”
My grin matched hers, and I almost lost complete control when her fingers wrapped around my girth and squeezed. “Fuck yes. I was hoping you’d say that.”

Avery
Steam clung to me as Reid backed me out of the shower, toward the bedroom. His eyes never left mine, his hands firm on my hips, guiding me exactly where he wanted me. As if I’d go anywhere else.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he murmured, his voice low and rough, full of need. His lips hovered just above mine. “I can’t believe you’re mine.”
I sucked in a breath at his choice of words but didn’t have time to respond before his lips were once more on mine. The kiss was deep, desperate for more, and filled with everything we’d been holding back for far too long.
