I wasn’t one for sweet whispers and quiet moans when it came to being pleased. Eli had told me that repeatedly. Sometimes I think he said it to let me know that it bothered him. But I didn’t give a damn. He should’ve been glad that I felt like he was doing something worth screaming over.

After taking a few seconds to catch my breath, I got myself cleaned up, wrapped the towel around me, and headed back downstairs.

Shade was nowhere to be found when I made it back to the living room. But like he’d said, everything was set up and facing the balcony.

Much to my surprise, there weretwomassage tables side by side.

Is he getting a massage too?

“I hope you don’t mind?” Shade said while standing behind me as if he had read my mind.

“Um, no. Not at all.”

“You sure? I promise not to bother you?”

I laughed. “It’s fine. Friends get massages together all the time.”

“Okay, cool,” he nodded before pulling his shirt over his head.

And just like that, my pussy was ready for round two of my little shower session. Every tattoo that adorned his skin was toobeautiful to look away from. I wanted to put my mouth on him and trace every single drawing with my tongue.

“You good?” he said as he wrapped the towel around his waist and let his shorts fall to the floor.

I licked my lips, imagining the thick, veiny flesh that was underneath.

Damn, maybe I should rethink this friendship thing.

Maybe friends with benefits is a better option.

“Nyx,” Shade called out.

“Huh?”

“I said, are you good?”

“Oh...um...yeah. I’m fine.” I cleared my throat and climbed onto the massage table. I positioned my head into the opening and closed my eyes. “Thanks again for all of this.”

“No problem. Like I said, I’m just trying to take care of you and help you relax.”

“Well, I’m definitely relaxed.”

“I can tell.”

I giggled. “Is it that obvious?”

“Mmhmm.” His voice had gotten quieter, so I figured he’d probably gotten comfortable like me.

I felt my muscles relax the deeper the massager dug into my skin.

Silence filled the air, and for a moment, I felt myself drifting off to sleep.

Then, I allowed my hand to fall, and as if he’d been waiting for that moment, Shade’s fingers intertwined with mine.

I didn’t pull away. Instead, I allowed myself to enjoy and feel the moment. I couldn’t explain every emotion that took over inside of me. I just knew that it felt good, and I didn’t want it to end.

“Nyx,” Shade whispered.

“Yeah.”
