Colt rests his forehead against mine and gently kisses my lips. Finally, he releases the other wrist, allowing me to touch him.
He brings his hand to my cheek, caressing it. “There, that wasn’t so bad, was it?”
“Ha… you don’t play fair, Colter Slade,” I reply, making him chuckle.
“No, baby, life’s not fair, but I’ll alwaysplaywith you.”
“Now you’re just twisting my words.”
“What? You wanna play naked Twister? Sure, Dee, anything you want,” he teases, and I decide I like this side of him.
I giggle. “You’re a right git.”
He chuckles and pulls out of me, rolling onto the bed. “Yep, I know.” He kisses me on the cheek, then gets up and walks to the ensuite. “You coming?” he turns back, asking me.
I smile and jump out of the king-sized bed, petals falling everywhere as I swipe them away from my body and walk into the ensuite with him. My legs feel like Jell-O, so I lean up against the basin as he leans into the massive shower and turns on the water.
“You okay?”
I nod and smile. “Just a bit wobbly. You kinda have that effect on me.”
“Well, you have that effect on me too,” he says, taking me into his bulging, tattooed arms and kissing me on the head. “C’mon, in we get.”
Swallowing the lump threatening to choke me, I step in with him. I’ve never had a shower with anyone. Joseph was strongly opposed whenever I’d brought it up, saying it was unclean for two people to shower together.
What a crock of shit!
Colt pulls me against his chest. He’s taller than me, so he rests his chin on the top of my head as I wrap my arms around his naked, muscular frame.
“Colt?”
“Mmm…”
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For helping me be a little more spontaneous.”
He chuckles. “You’re welcome. Plus, I like you naked, so we’re even,” he says with a smirk. I scoff and giggle, then playfully slap him on the chest.
Colt grabs my wrist and holds it to his chest over his heart, causing my heart to skip a beat as the gesture is both beautifully sweet and dominant. The two things I’m beginning to really like about him.
When I peer up at him, his tender gaze remains on me as he brings my hand to his mouth and kisses it. Biting my bottom lip at the sweet gesture, I place my hand back on his chest when he lets it go. A moment passes between us as he looks deep into my eyes, and a wave of dizziness takes over, the warm water rushing over my back.
I’m so unbelievably caught up in him, and when he leans in, kissing me, my arms instinctively wrap around his waist tightly.
With a gentle nudge, he guides me back into the water to wet my hair. The move is sensual, his touch tender. Just as sweetly, he shifts me out of the water, lathering his large hands with the hotel body wash and caressing my skin. The contrast between his soft touch and slightly rough fingers is a sensory overload on my already-ignited skin.
I close my eyes as his hands work over my breasts, paying special attention to my nipples. His hands run down my sides and over my hips in such a tantalizing manner that I feel like I’m in a trance. It’s as if he is working some sort of voodoo magic on me.
He slides a hand from my hip to the inner part of my thigh, causing my breathing to hitch, and I close my eyes. Colt washes me, gliding his hand slowly up my thigh and to the sweet spot I’m aching for him to touch. He rubs some body wash, driving me to come alive under his touch. Following the curves of my body, his hand glides back up my hip and around to my ass, where he caresses my cheeks, then slides up my spine and back to my shoulders.
I’m so relaxed right now, I could fall asleep at his sensual touch. He spins me around so my back is toward him, and he moves in behind me, pressing his entire body against mine. Slowly, he moves me forward into the water, and the feeling of his hands gliding over my skin while the water washes off the body wash is invigorating.
Why have I never done this before?
Colt spins me around again, and this time, I open my eyes to see him looking at me.
