“I need a shower,” she whispers into my mouth.
A small smile spreads across my lips as I continue to move them along hers. “Me too. But we have to shower in the guest bathroom. Eli is sleeping.”
She pulls away. “We?”
I move my lips down her neck as I walk her backward toward the bathroom.
“Yeah,” I murmur against her skin, my voice rough. “We.”
Her fingers dig into my shoulders as I back her into the bathroom, the door clicking shut behind us. The small space feels charged, steam already thick in my chest before the waters even on. She’s looking at me like I’m the only thing tethering her to the ground, and hell if I don’t feel the same way.
I reach into the shower and twist the knob. Water springs to life, but all I’m focused on is how her tongue feels against mine. My hands move along her hips, then quickly unsnap the top of her black pants.
I push them down, along with her panties. She fumbles for the buckle of my pants. We strip each other of clothing until we’re standing naked in front of one another.
I grip her hip and tug her flush against me, hard and unyielding. Walking backward into the shower, I move us directly underneath the falling water and move my hand up to her cheek to deepen our kiss.
Her hands slide up my arms, squeezing my biceps, before moving along my shoulders and into my hair. I run my hands through her hair, then tip her head back and let the water cascade down.
My dick presses against her stomach, begging for attention. Instead, I push her back up against the wall and fall to my knees. I spread her lips open with my thumbs and wrap my lips around her clit. Her head falls back against the shower tiles as I flick my tongue rhythmically, then push my fingers inside of her.
It doesn’t take long before she is coming all over my fingers, a mix of the shower and her release coating me. I look up at her through hooded eyes, never having felt more drugged with desire than I do now.
I stand up and steal a deep kiss. I can’t wait to sink my dick inside of her until I realize something.
“Shit,” I cuss as it dawns on me. “I don’t have a condom.”
Her chest rises and falls as the steam continues to build around us. “I’m on the pill,” she breathes, “and I’m clean.”
I’ve never had sex without a condom. Ironically, seeing as I have a child in the other room. I’ve never trusted another person enough to be willing to pass on one. But as her green eyes gazeinto mine, I know there’s no doubt in my mind that I not only trust her to do this with her, but the idea of sliding into her bare has cum dropping out of me.
I lift her up, and she wraps her legs around my waist. Then I press her back against the tiles and bring our lips together as I slam my dick inside of her in one long thrust.
The world flips on its axis as her cry echoes, vibrating through me and rooting me deeper inside her. Every inch of her clings to me like she was made for this—for me—and it nearly unravels me on the spot.
Her nails dig into my shoulders, dragging me closer, urging me not to let go. I thrust harder, water streaming down our bodies as steam fogs the glass around us, and I swear the whole damn world disappears. It’s just her. Her lips on mine, her body wrapped tight around me, and the pounding of my heart as I finally let go of the control I’ve been choking on.
I murmur her name against her mouth, half curse, half prayer, because she doesn’t realize she’s undoing me in ways I never thought possible. And as her body clenches around me, pulling me under with her, all I can think is that I’ll never come back from this.
Chapter Nineteen
Jessie
Today has been awful. The moment I got into work, everything started going wrong. From spilling my coffee on my white blouse—thank goodness I’m not in the courtroom today—to every single case that I’m working on coming back with some kind of bad news.
At nearly four o’clock, I’m ready to pull my hair out. On top of it, I’m desperately trying not to think about last night and what it meant. Walker owned my body in every sense of the word.
I hadn’t known it could be like that. What happened between us in the shower felt bigger than just sex. It was like our bodies became one on a cellular level.
The moment I had been dropped off at my place last night, I knew I had to go to him. He had been crushed by his parents’ reactions. I didn’t even know everything that had been said, but I knew it’d cut deep. I saw it in his eyes. They had lacked the spark that I’d come to love.
I didn’t think about how life-altering having sex with him would be.
A text rings from the phone sitting to the right of me on my desk. I reach for it and swipe my screen to unlock it.
It’s a video of Eli lying on her mat on the floor. She’s smiling up at the cat playing music above her and kicking her feet wildly with excitement. Then she starts to coo at it. She does this for a minute straight, and I smile the entire time I watch it.
Me: Oh my gosh!!! She is a babbling little princess. What are you doing home from work already?
