I was toying with Mav’s hair when I asked, “Did your ?”

“What?”

“You know, Maverick from Top Gun?”

Mav laughed heartily “God, I wish That would be a whole lot cooler” Mav’s fingers began stroking up and down my spine and I tried not to shiver at the contact “No, there weren’t a lot of things to watch on TV on the reservation and with lots of people all wanting to watch at the saree on certain shows There was an old TV show from the late fifties called Maverick that they all liked – so James Garner”

“Really?”

“I can’t really couys were named Bret and Bart Maverick so I lucked out that she picked Maverick instead of Bret or Bart”

I couldn’t stop the bubble of laughter that started deep in my chest Maybe it was the stress of the last two days orto call Mav by either of those na so hard,I didn’t really expect Mav to be angry or anything, but I wasn’t expecting hihter filled the stea with mine, I felt like some kind of valve inside of me had been opened and all the pressure released I wrapped hed, and he didn’t hesitate to do the saood ten minutes passed before we’d both quieted and just held on to each other I knew I needed to let go of him and let him finish his shower, but despite ain with hi And I kneas in the same boat because he whispered, “Take a shoith me?” in my ear

I tried to say no, but not very hard because only a couple of seconds passed before I was nodding against his neck Mav heldmy shirt buttons loose When he pushed the shirt off my shoulders, his hands skimmed over my skin as he slid the shirt down my arms I wanted him to kiss me, but at the same time I also didn’t

He didn’t

He just kept up the sensual torture as he undressed ht before when I’d done the sa, I cliet undressed As turned on as we both were, there wasn’t anything sexual in the e touched each other…at least not to the extent that ere both desperate for the next level No, it waseach other

I expected the water to be cool or lukewar, but it turned out to still be hot e stepped under the spray We took turns washing each other and when Mav turned me around so he could work soainst hi my scalp Heoff the shower, he pulled ainst his front and held me there under the spray of water, his forearm wrapped around ainst my ass, but he never once upped the heat level of his touches

We stood there like that for a good thirty minutes before Mav finally turned off the water and dried us both off I wasn’t sure what he was planning next and while I told ain and expect to walk away in one piece, I didn’t hesitate when he led me to my bed and pulled back the covers and crawled in after me We ended up in the same position as in the shower, my back to his front, but instead of just one arainst the back of my neck It wasn’t even four o’ clock in the afternoon, but that didn’t stop ht above the bed off My eyes grew heavy very quickly and I kneas going to finally be able to give in to my need to sleep But just seconds before all sense of reality escaped me, I heard Mav whisper, “Thank you, Eli”
