He lifted her again, carried her back into the shower, then hiked her higher and pressed her back against the tile, cool against the heat He lifted her higher and higher, gazing at her all the while, as the water streamed down on the to the friction, the insanity, the desperation
When she was high enough, he lowered her, bringing her down on his erection, slowly at first, his eyes never leaving hers, until she cried out with a soft sound, tearing her own gaze away, burying her face low against his shoulder as he began topulse of the spray seemed to echo the thunder in his veins, resound in the knotted wire of his every ht, barely aware of her limbs wrapped around his waist She sheathed him, rode the thrust and fire of his desperate arousal, the soft sounds escaping her lips driving hi into hiue driving hard into the depths of hisother than the stea pulse and the need centered in that one portion of his body Then he renched from the spiral of his own satisfaction by the cry that tore froainst the tile, and he felt the eruption of his own clih him like a tidal wave
She was draped around hihtly, alainst hih the wet length of his hair She smiled and, to his amaze the water off at last, his eyes never leaving hers He inched back, feeling lost when his penis slipped from her body, loath to set her slowly on her own feet
"Thanks?" he asked, leaning against her again, gently finding her cheek with the pad of his thu withanything, just leaving him plenty of room to take an emotional step back
He shook his head gravely "There’s nothing wrong with you Quite the contrary, there’s far too ht with you"
Her smile deepened, then faded as she looked into his eyes "Then… what took you so long?"
"I ca in here the second you screamed"
"I didn’t mean just now"
"Actually, we haven’t known each other that long"
"I knew the second I saw you that I wanted you," she whispered, her voice serious and ever so slightly wistful
"Because… ?"
"Because you touched ainst him With the water off and the fever of thein, and he was growing chill, standing da it around her shoulders
He touched her chin, lifting her eyes to his
"Because I touched you?" he whispered "I didn’t think you even liked me at first"
"I didn’t"
"That’s honest"
"I didn’t want to like you," she said quietly, and walked out of the bathroo darkness at the foot of the bed It was fall but the balcony doors were closed, the drapes drawn, and the rooh her drying hair, waiting She had dropped the towel In the soft light, she was ethereal, yet far too real, a piece of ht by the i her at first, then reaching for her chin His lips met hers with a slow, infinite tenderness, and then he drew her to hiht after I came upon you in the street I’ve been so fascinated by you that I’ve had to walk away at times The way I feel… scares me"
She smiled, head tilted close to his "I don’t usually behave this way I’ht, huh? But there’s such a thing as che"
"But I do," he told her, and he folded her into his ars in life that sian…
This ti in return He felt as if they had a lifetiet to know each other, and at the saht of after This was a ti, scent and feel, flesh and heartbeat, and all that ca her hair, kissing her nape, his lips exploring the length of her spine, inhaling the sweet scent of her skin, learning the essence beneath, shape and for his exploration, savoring Then she turned in his arry The kiss was long and deep, wet, hot and inti all that was to follow
Their hands were all over one another then, and he wasn’t even aware of when they fell upon the cool length of the bed He are only of her fingertips sliding over hiraze of her teeth against his shoulders, his ribs, down his chest, teasing, touching…
Hands, lips
His
Hers…
Brushing, searing The most intimate of hot, wet caresses
Dusk beca…
He felt her start, and his eyes flew open His arently
She was taut "I thought I… "
"Andy?"
"No… just so the knob on the front door I probably couldn’t hear that from up here, could I?" she asked very softly
He slid fro it around his waist, he started silently from the bedroom
