“What?”
“Stop smoking.”
He laughed. “It’s a deal. I’ll smoke my final cigarette after the next time I’ve made love to you.”
“Sounds good to me.”
He checked his watch. “So, I should quit smoking in around an hour from now. I’ll go warm up the bathroom, hot-stuff.”
He kissed her passionately, feeling reborn and energized, then he removed his shirt, and swaggered off to the bathroom, where he turned on the shower. He planned to steam up the room – making it nice and tropical for Astrid. With the shower running in the background, he gazed at himself in the mirror.
He sighed. Why was it relatively easy for him to find trouble and fight bad guys, but it terrified him to tell anyone what his uncle had done to him? And yet, she’d made it so easy. It was as if a tightly fastened rusted coil had unraveled into ribbons inside him, all because of her kindness. She’d shone her light of love over him, and it’d warmed him through to his bones.
He sighed. There was something else he wanted to do that was even more terrifying. Another confession. This time not from his past, but about what was happening right now in his heart. He gazed into his own eyes and saw the sparks of love in there for her. She’d liberated him… and he couldn’t thank her enough. Surely it shouldn’t be this hard to tell someone as wonderful as Astrid that you loved her?
His reflection steamed over and he pulled himself back to the present. He took off his pants, then yanked open the bathroom door and stuck his head out to find Astrid gazing into the mirror at the writing desk. She was naked, other than Jake’s discarded shirt, which she’d thrown over her top-half and fastened with one button, making her look incredible. But her expression was serious. Was she also having a heart-to-heart with herself?
“Hey, dreamer,” he said. “Shower’s ready.”
She smiled, then stood up to join him. “Thanks.”
He pulled her close and kissed her hard. She inspected his body. “You’re like my very own underwear model.”
He chuckled and kissed her again – proud of how much she loved his body. He ran his finger halfway down her shirt and fingered the button that was barely holding it on. “This suits you.”
She rubbed her hand over the material. “I like it. It smells of you.”
“But I’d rather see you out of it… come on.”
He led her to the bathroom, which was now full of warm steam. “How about that shower, dirty girl?”
She grinned. “Sounds perfect. I hope you’ll rub soapy suds into my body and scrub me clean.”
He closed the door firmly behind them. “That night we met… I had a fantasy about you in the shower… when you first met me. I’d already fallen for you by then.”
She chuckled. “Stalker.” She shot him a mischievous glance. “What happened in your fantasy?”
He opened his mouth to reply, but she interrupted. “Wait, let me guess… I was wearing this shirt, and I stood in the shower and got all wet…”
She stepped into the tub and turned to soak her chest under the warm shower, making the shirt cling transparently to her gorgeous breasts. The spectacular sight electrified Jake and he was overwhelmed with an urgent desire to bend her over the tub and fuck her hard – delivering them both to sexual ecstasy.
He removed his underwear, unfurling his straining erection, then he squirted some shower gel into his palm, before climbing into the tub to join her.
She stole some of the gel from his hands, and lathered it up, then she smeared the suds over his pecs and abs, clearing enjoying touching his taut toned body. She gazed at him seductively and his lust rocketed.
He undid the button of her soaked shirt and stripped it down over her shoulders, revealing her rock-hard nipples and plump breasts.
“Fuck, you’re beautiful,” he said.
He pulled her against himself, rubbing their bare chests together.
The effect she had on Jake was magical. The steam from the shower filled the room, adding to the sensual atmosphere, and they kissed passionately under the warm water. Jake ran his tongue over her neck, nibbling her shoulders, then he kissed her lips again, gasping with pleasure.
Astrid peeled off her shirt and let it drop outside the tub. “It’s my turn to get soapy, don’t you think?”
She turned to grab the shower gel behind her, and Jake couldn’t resist caressing her fantastic butt. He pressed his hands against her hips, and kissed her ear. She groaned with desire.
He relished the feel of her curvy body. “In my fantasy I wanted to bend you over and take you roughly from behind.”
