Shep raised a brow. “I walked right into that one, didn’t I?”
“You do make it easy to get a rise out of you.” My eyes dropped to the bubbles and what they hid below his waist.
“Flirting with me isn’t going to make your problems go away.”
“It will right now.” I placed my glass on the deck of the tub and pushed off my seat to swim Shep’s way, and no one was more shocked than me when he didn’t stop me. “And that’s all I’m currently worried about.”
As I moved closer, Shep widened his legs. When I slid between them, he stretched his arms out along the edge of the tub.
Away from temptation? Probably. We both knew if his hands got too close, they were going to touch me.
“What are you doing?”
“What’s it look like I’m doing?” I said as I walked my fingers up his chest. I had no problem touching him.
“It looks like you’re trying to distract me.”
“Really?” I looped my arms around his neck and teased the wet hair at the nape. “Because from where I’m standing, I thought it would be obvious I want a cock rub.”
Shep’s lips quirked as he shifted on his seat and—mon Dieu—rubbed his hard-on against mine. “Like that?”
The rumble of pleasure that vibrated out of me was answer enough. But just in case he didn’t get it, I leaned back and arched my hips forward, grinding along his covered cock.“Justlike that.”
Shep set his glass down and slipped his hands under the water, and the next thing I knew he was pulling me in close and cradling my ass.
“And after you finish getting off on me?” he asked, his lips hovering over mine. “Then what? Your problem is still there.”
My eyes drifted down to the mouth I’d recently become obsessed with, and I couldn’t remember what problem he was talking about, because the only one I had right then was the fact his lips weren’t on mine.
“Theo?”
“Huh?”
Shep smirked then leaned in to say by the corner of my lips, “You want my tongue in your mouth?”
“Fuck yes,” I said without an ounce of shame, and when he slid his tongue along my lower lip, I groaned and opened for him.
Shep pushed inside with the same force he did everything else. He was aggressive, demanding, and made every thought other than the taste of him vanish from my mind.
I’d been imagining this kiss ever since we’d come together before my brother’s wedding, and as Shep’s tongue swept inside and rubbed up against mine, I realized I’d greatly underestimated the impact it would have.
If I thought his body phenomenal, his commanding use of mine addictive, then his mouth was downright intoxicating.
I was fucked.
But I wasn’t going to think about that now.Non, there’d be plenty of time to worry about the implications of that later. For now, I was going to take what Shep was all too willing to give.
I ran my fingers through the back of his hair and twisted them in the damp strands as I moved up to straddle his body. When I seated myself in his lap, Shep growled and took hold of my hips, thrusting up against me.
“Fucking hell, Theo.”
I moaned and tipped my head back, reveling in the feel of his body under mine as Shep pressed kisses up my neck to my jaw. He scraped his teeth along it, then licked the condensation off my skin as he moved his way up to my ear.
“Just checking your jaw isn’t really broken,” he said, reminding me of just how hard he’d gone at my mouth earlier.
I turned my head and nipped at his lip. “Good as new. Want to try again?”
Shep chuckled. “As tempting as that is…”
