Her shoulders relaxed. "Oh. Uh, yeah. Me neither." She paused. "So, whatareyou into?"
I felt my lips curve into a knowing smile. "If you wanna come in, I'll show you."
"You mean in the shower?" She hesitated. "How cold is it?"
I gave it some thought. It wasn't too cold. But itwascold enough to make her nipples harden into nice little knobs. At the mental image, my pulse jumped, and my erection throbbed.Her nipples wouldn’t be cold for long.I'd warm them nice and slow with my tongue, and then with my mouth.
She'd be shivering, alright, but not from the cold water.
It was a nice thought. But it wasn't the way I wanted to start. I wanted her warm and willing, so I reached for the shower handle and turned it up a few notches. "It's not cold anymore," I said.
This was only half-true. It would take maybe thirty seconds for the water to fully warm. But the point remained the same.
When she spoke again, her voice was filled with breathless speculation. "I dunno…I mean, the shower's pretty narrow."
I smiled. "I know." But that was part of the appeal.We could be nice and close.And, I could think of all sorts of ways to make the tight space work in our favor.
Through the frosted glass, I gave Arden's silhouette a good, long look. I still couldn't make out her face, but I knew in my gut that if I opened the shower door for a better look, she'd be chewing on her bottom lip.
She did that when she was thinking.
She had nice lips – full and sweet. For a while now, I'd been wondering what they'd look like wrapped around my cock. Or maybe I'd focus on herotherlips. I was good at that sort of thing. I could part them just enough for me to lick and suckle her secret places until she lost all control.
Nowthatwould be something.
Or hell, forget the oral stuff. Maybe I'd just take her the old-fashioned way until she climaxed so hard, she forgot the whole "hate" part of the equation.
I didn't want her tohateme.
I wanted her towantme.
Because I wantedher.
I wanted her more than I'd wanted anyone in a long time.
Sure, I had plenty of other options, including one right across the street. But there was only girl I wanted, and she was standing on the other side of the shower door.
I said, "Or if you want, I'll come out."
"No." She hesitated. "I mean, actually, joining you wouldn’t besobad."
She had no idea.
It wouldn't be bad at all.I'd make damn sure of it.
I waited, giving her time to think.And anticipate.And imagine all of the nice things I was gonna to do to her. Knowing Arden, she was thinking about it right now. And me – I wasn't gonna rush it.
When she edged closer, I smiled.
"Well…" she said. "If nothing else, it would be good to get it out of our system, right?"
Wrong.
The way she talked, she was looking at a one-time deal. I saw what she meant, but it wasn't what I had in mind.
But hey, I knew – because yes, Iwasan arrogant bastard – that a single time wouldn't be enough. She'd be coming back for more. I'd make damn sure ofthat, too.
I pushed open the shower door, not caring that water splashed onto the outdated bathroom tile. I held out my hand and teased, "You know you want to."
