I reached for his shampoo and conditioner and started washing my hair. This was how I relaxed when I got off work at night> I took a long soothing shower and washed the grit and grime from the day away. The water soothed my stiff muscles that came from bending over or climbing under cars all day. I just let it all float away and was a peace letting my mind wander. Lately, my showers had all ended with me thinking about my growing feelings for Creed.
“You look like you’re trying to solve a problem.”
His voice broke me out of my zone, and I turned to see him leaning against the door jamb. He had his arms crossed and a sexy smirk on his face as his gaze traveled down my wet, naked body.
“I kinda am.” I responded nervously, hoping he couldn’t see my feelings for him written on my face.
“Anything I can help with?” He grinned that sexy, cocky grin that said the things he wanted to help me with involved us being naked.
I shook my head not ready to say theLword yet. I had no idea how he felt about me, and the work situation was still an issue. When this was over, how would we work together? If we were together and I let him give me the nine inches that was causing a definite bulge in his jeans, would he try to take miles with it?
“What’s worrying you, Kassandra?” He moved farther into the bathroom and started to remove his clothes as he came closer.
I swallowed hard, hating my nervousness and vulnerability.
“You know you’re not the first boss to date an employee right?” He gave me a cocky smirk, but I was a knotted mess inside.
I may act tough, but I’m not. I’m a sappy, anxious, virgin. It’s my secret that I’ve been holding onto my V-card because I wanted sex to mean something. Growing up on the circuit when dad was racing and then when Kayson went into it, I saw my fair share of Racer Chasers throwing themselves at my dad and brother. My dad was devoted to my mom and never strayed, My brother wasn’t attached and definitely took full advantage of the side benefit of his career choice. A choice I was certain was going to bite him in the ass one day.
“Dating? Is that what we’re doing here?” With each piece of clothing he removed, he showed off more of his gorgeous tattoos and drool worthy physique. He had long corded muscles, and a chiseled chest. His six back abdomen made me want to kneel down and pay homage with my tongue. God, I wanted him in and out of bed. I just didn’t know how he felt about me, and that terrified me.
“I’m not a kid anymore, Kassandra.” He stepped out of his jeans and underwear before coming into the shower with me. “I don’t want a fling or a one-night stand. I’m not looking for that kind of relationship anymore. I want a strong woman who will keep me on my toes, challenge me, but also someone who is going to be loving and giving because that woman will be the one to help raise my son. If I didn’t feel you were important to my future, you wouldn’t be here right now.”
I swallowed hard, “I kinda love you, Creed.”
“Good.” He moved closer to me, his wet, naked body brushed against mine eliciting chills from me. “Because I kinda love you too.”
He captured my lips in a hard demanding kiss. His tongue swept inside my mouth tasting me and drawing out a moan of need and desire. I felt the hard ridge of his cock against my belly, and I shivered with delight and a small amount of fear. I’d waited twenty-three years to find the right person to give myself to, and I had no doubt that the man in front of me was the right one for me.
“Creed.” I gasped, breaking our kiss for some air. He kept going, his lips trailing down the column of my throat. “Creed.” I said his name again trying to get his attention. “There’s something I have to tell you first.”
He halted his kisses and pulled back just enough for me to look him in the eye. I licked my lips and tated him there.
“You’re killing me, Baby.” He groaned as he pumped his cock against my stomach. “What do you need to tell me?” He asked when I didn’t say anything. “Do we need to stop?”
“No,” I shook my head. “I want to do this, but I’ve never done it before.” I shrugged and looked away from him all the sudden a bit embarrassed and shy about the fact that my hymen has remained intact so long.
“You’re a virgin?” He asked to confirm what I was saying, and I nodded my affirmation. “Ok. I’m clean. I got checked after Amber cheated on me and I haven’t been with anyone since. Are you on birth control?”
“Yes.”
“Thank fuck. Your first time isn’t going to be in the shower, Kassandra. As much as I want to plant myself deep inside you right now and fuck you against this wall as water cascades down our bodies, I want your first time to be in my bed. After that, we will christen the house.” He gave me a grin, “But your first time will be in a bed.”
“Ok.” I swallowed hard and together we finished washing our bodies for the other’s enjoyment. It was a hot and torturous form of foreplay. By the time we made it to the bed, I was ready to beg him to take me.
Chapter 7
Creed
I gently dried her body and hair. The light orange strands were silky to the touch, and I wondered what her natural color was. She was clean shaven between her legs, so I had no clue.
“What made you dye your hair the color of peaches?”
“My brother bet me I wouldn’t and he chose the color. I had to prove him wrong, and it kinda grew on me.”
“You’re close to your family?”
“Yeah. My brother and I are twins. He’s older than me by three minutes and he never lets me forget it.”
