“I’m… Thank you.”She ran her fingers through her hair.“So…”
He waited.Even though he’d rather encourage her along, he continued what he was doing, guessing it would be easier if he wasn’t looking directly at her.
“What was it like for you?”
“I think I wore down my back teeth.”
“No.Really?”
He lined up everything meticulously then faced her.“The tightness was incredible.I don’t generally have to work to hold back an orgasm.This time I did.With the vibrator on your clit—”
“You could feel that?”
“Yes.Believe me, sweet Sofia, that was every bit as powerful for me as it was you.”
She pulled her hand out of her hair.
“I would keep silent rather than lie,” he assured her.After this afternoon, masturbating might never be enough again.
Once the area was in order, he indicated she should precede him down the stairs and out to the ATV.He whistled and Loopy appeared from nowhere to jump into the back.
“Where was she?”
“It’s always a mystery.I think she’s at least one-eighth ghost.”
In the house, she went upstairs.He lit the grill then refreshed their wine glasses and carried one up to her.
Since the bathroom door was closed, he knocked but then walked in without waiting for a response.
She was sitting in the tub with the faucet running at full blast.Her hair was piled on top of her head and secured with a barrette bearing the Texas flag.“Are bathrooms not sacred?”
“In the vanilla world, maybe.”He crouched next to the tub and noticed that she’d put a bottle of body wash and a pretty pink razor on a ledge.The sight of her personal effects startled him, and not in a bad way.Other than a few stays in a hotel room, he’d never shared space with a woman.He should have thought to ask if there was anything she’d like to keep at the ranch.But that would have required him thinking of something other than her submissive surrender.
“As long as you’re bearing gifts, you’re welcome to barge into the bathroom.”She sat up to accept the glass then took a big sip.“Okay, this is officially more pampered than I’ve ever been.”
“Ever?”
“Ever.Wine.Bathtub.Hot man bringing it to me.Oh, yeah, amazing sex.And he said he’d cook.”
“It does sound like a pretty good deal,” he agreed.Having her here wasn’t so bad for him, either.He’d found himself looking forward to her visit.Making sure that he had his work done so that he could enjoy the evening had kept him sharper and busier than usual.
She reclined.“I might stay in here forever.”
“Do you have a hot tub?”
“There’s one at the apartment building, but I rarely use it.Too many kids.And it’s a hassle to switch into a swimming suit, go down, get wet, shiver all the way back…”
“Tomorrow I’ll introduce you to true decadence.”
“You’re doing pretty well so far.”She wiggled her toes beneath the spray.
“Dinner will be about twenty-five minutes.Maybe half an hour.”
“Do you need help?”
“Next time.”
“Good.I wasn’t planning to get out of the tub, but manners said I should at least offer.”She reached forward long enough to turn off the faucet.
