Mikah used one hand to undo the tie and reached up with both hands to tug the robe from her shoulders.
Hot.
Mikah gave a curse of appreciation, shifted toward her, and slipped sideways and down in the tub. His weight and hold on the robe pulled her over the edge and into the warm liquid. Her instincts had her flailing, but Mikah steadied her. “Got you.”
Piper got to her knees on the slick porcelain, and the thick liquid came to her shoulders. “I thought it was like a milk bath. What is this stuff? Conditioner?” The liquid had a faint, clean fragrance. The spa music had a bass-filled beat that pulsed in time with the jets and gently propelled the grapefruit-sized balls against her submerged body. “Why did this cost five thousand dollars?” The large tapioca-like bubbles bounced on her muscles from above and below, at every angle, and she couldn’t tell if the motion was intrusive, odd, sexy, or all three.
“Worth every penny.” Mikah finished tugging off her robe and draped the sopping fabric on the rail. He eyed every inch of her he could see with a heated, glinting cobalt gaze. “You’re gorgeous.”
Glowing languor filled her at the compliment, and the sensual feelings surged ahead of everything else. Though now that she was covered in the cream, he couldn’t see as much as he had when she’d let her robe fall open. That had to be more intriguing in some ways. Same for her. She knew what lay below the waterline. His body was a work of disciplined masculinity that should be sculpted for the ages. Ooh, idea for the arena. Sculptures of the players. She’d pose for a photo and grip some marble biceps during a selfie. While here and now she had access to the real, live, warm being. She was lucky.
Mikah ran his hands over her shoulders, her back, and down to her hips. Waves of warmth followed the motion. He pulled her closer, searching her eyes for what she wanted.
She inched her knee forward, fell, and sank chin deep.
Mikah helped hold her steady, but his hands slid against her. He wasn’t even trying to caress her, but the slipperiness of the bubble gel made doing anything else impossible. Brilliant design.
He sat on a ledge not a foot away, but she was moving through pulsating molasses. Getting closer was an exercise in frustration. Vegas knew temptation well. What she wanted was just out of reach.
“I don’t know how to get any closer.” Piper dropped her hands to Mikah’s knees, and her palms glided up his muscular thighs. “Sorry.” She flushed, loving the feel of his tensing, but wanting more intentional foreplay. Being so close to Mikah in this luxurious tub implied overwhelming sensory delights were just ahead in her future if she dared.
“Come closer.” Mikah leaned forward, circled his arms around her waist, and guided her forward.
“Thanks for the assist.” Piper reached him, straddled his knees, and sat down on his lap relishing the contrast against her sensitive smooth inner thighs. The position and pulsing water slid her down to an intimate position well worth $5K. “Ah.” She flushed more and couldn’t help the erotic sound escaping her lips. Hot, slick, wet sensations swamped her body. The only hardness, him.
Her lips met his and the kiss hit a level ten immediately. She hugged her body to his. The sweetness of the earlier drink, the sexy tangle of his tongue with hers. Only their swimsuits between them. Her nipples tightened like the aquamarines studding her swimsuit.
Mikah cupped her bum and controlled her movements, rubbing her core right where she needed. Piper whimpered, and he groaned. He moved his hands to her bikini top and squeezed her breasts. His massaging touch had her making sexy noises. Mikah thumbed the points of her nipples, pressing in, releasing, and again, and again, sending shocking, jolting arousal through her chest and down. She dropped her head back and rubbed his pecks with slow, flat palms. “Mmm.”
“Mmm.” He moved his gelled fingers under her bikini top and toyed with her bare nipples, intensifying her reactions. Vibrating lightning shot to her core.
Piper caressed from his hard chest to his abs in a smooth rotation, wanting to stroke him all over.
Mikah rolled one palm over her nipple. With the other, he traced his fingertips down her front, over her belly button to the edge of her bikini pants.
Piper’s chest rose and fell with the heady sensations. They were going fast, but so was the need bursting through her body. “More.”
His fingers edged under the fabric.
Piper kissed him harder, tangling her tongue against his, indicating her approval and need.
“Godiva deluxe engaging,” said a mechanical spa voice over the speakers.
The intrusive sound yanked her from her amorous state. Piper jerked and slipped sideways off of Mikah and onto the bench. Her kingdom for some privacy. “Is someone coming in?” Couldn’t the mimosas and chocolate truffles wait?
Mikah slid his hand free of her and again kept her from going under. “What’s that?” his voice was thick, uncomprehending.
The curtains widened, revealing that they were in a glass-walled room, like a human aquarium. And they weren’t alone. Liam and Rookie each had their own glass-enclosed cage. Each guy lay back in his hot tub, neck on towel, expressions easy. Each gripped and kneaded gel bubbles like worry balls. Liam waved with his free hand. Rookie gave them a thumbs-up.
Ugh.
In the room opposite them, Kiernan wasn’t alone, he had Willow with him. He was squeezing Willow’s c-cup in one hand and one of the grapefruit balls in the other.
Ew, the bubbles, Willow’s boob…oh no. Piper drew her gaze from that horror.
She now knew what she was floating in.
