Ruby’s smile shined so bright I wanted to pinch her cute cheeks.
I held my hand out, inviting Ruby in with me. She entered and pulled the curtain close behind her as warm water pummeled my back.
“Will you lather me up?” I gave Ruby my washcloth.
She squirted a generous amount of vanilla-scented bodywash onto my square cloth and reached for my shoulders. When she didn’t touch me, I reached for her arm and placed her hand on my chest.
“Relax and come closer. I won’t bite.”
Ruby stepped closer.
“What if I want you to?” She kept her eyes on my chest and initiated circular motions over my upper body with the washcloth.
“You’re not ready for all that, baby girl. Trust me.”
Ruby shrugged.
“If you say so.”
Her motions widened over my body as she cleaned my neck, then lowered the washcloth to my abs. She lingered at my waist a long time as water dampened her underwear, which now clung to her like a second skin.
I lowered my lips to her ear and bit the tip before whispering into it. “Are you going to wash me everywhere?”
Ruby slowly dipped the washcloth to the tip of my erect penis. Within seconds, she rubbed the cloth down the base of my shaft and cupped my balls through the cloth.
“Open your legs, Amari. I believe in doing a thorough job when I work.”
I widened my stance as Ruby massaged my dick with her hand and followed it with her warm washcloth. I bent forward and placed my hands on the wet fabric of the seat of her panties, teasing underneath the lace with my fingers as water streamed over my back.
“If you don’t want me to squirt my cum on you, I advise you to slow down, sweetheart.”
“We’re already in the shower, so I’ll just have to clean you again.”
Ruby’s wicked little smile made me wonder what other tricks she could show me. Before I could ask, she removed the cloth and laid it on the narrow shelf on the wall.
“I’ll give you a reprieve . . . for now. Let me shampoo your hair with this tea tree shampoo. Tilt your head down.”
Ruby squirted a couple of pumps of the tingly shampoo in her hand and massaged my short hair with her fingers. When her nails scratched my scalp, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. She rubbed the hair around my edges and at the base of my neck until it tingled too.
“You have a nice grade of hair, as my grandmother would say. I see where Aspen’s pretty tresses came from.”
Ruby’s words made me smile as I realized how familiar she already was with my angel. If I pursued whatever we were doing beyond tonight, I wouldn’t have to worry about Aspen and Ruby forming a solid relationship.
Ruby reached for my ears and tilted my head up. I closed my eyes as the lukewarm water rushed down my face.
“Here’s some leave-in conditioner. It will keep your hair nice and soft.” Ruby repeated her motions from earlier, but this time putting extra love and care into her soothing scalp massage.
Never had I been pampered so beautifully by a woman who asked for nothing in return. Ruby’s attention to detail and generosity told me everything I needed to know about her. Shewore her heart on her sleeve and who wasn’t afraid to share herself with someone who treated her the right way.
Ruby reached behind me a final time and turned off the shower. As we faced each other, the stillness of the moment overtook me. I searched Ruby’s eyes as she peered into mine. I couldn’t let this time pass without tasting her sweet lips again.
When I dove into Ruby’s mouth, she reached for my neck and held it steady. Her lips timidly explored mine until I circled her waist and pulled her body flush to mine.
“Thank you for taking care of me.” I whispered the words into her partially opened mouth.
“You make it easy.”
I pressed my forehead into her and closed my eyes.
