She presses her bare body against my back, her nipples hardening as they make contact with my wet skin, and I let out a deep moan when she reaches down to caress the boys with more pressure than most women dare, sending electricity coursing through me.
“Let me go, and I’ll show you how merry it can be.”
She giggles, her fingers releasing their grip as I turn to face her. My mouth finds hers, hot water streaming between our lips as I thread my fingers through her wet hair, tugging just enough to make her gasp.
The hard peaks of her nipples graze my chest, leaving trails of sensation across my skin. I slide my hand down the slick curve of her stomach until I reach the soft heat between her thighs. Her breath catches when I circle that swollen spot with my thumb. “Every morning,” she whispers against my mouth, her hand wrapping around me again, tighter this time. “Just like this.”
“You have no idea how much I love you.”
“Show me.”
Her lips curl at the corner, eyes darkening to the same shade they were in that coatroom at Gina’s wedding when she bit down on my shoulder to keep quiet. My hands find her hips, turning her until she faces away from me.
Water streams down the curve of her spine as I guide her foot to the edge of the tub. She braces against the tile wall, looking back over her shoulder. I slide into her inch by inch, the sensation making my vision blur at the edges. My teeth graze her earlobe as I whisper against her wet skin.
Wrapping my arms around her, I palm the soft weight of her breast, feeling her nipple harden against my palm whilemy other hand slides lower. Harper’s breath hitches, her wet hair spilling across my shoulder as her body arches. “Ford,” she breathes, the word dissolving into steam.
The slick heat beneath my fingers pulses as I circle that sensitive spot. Her palms reach out to brace herself on the tile wall, her spine curving like a bow. Water streams between our bodies as she presses back against me, the shower’s rhythm no match for our own. She needs this as much as I do, and she meets me thrust for thrust, delighted at the rough speed I’m pounding into her.
“Baby, I—” My voice fractures as lightning builds at the base of my spine.
Her head falls forward, a strangled sound escaping her throat as tremors ripple through her thighs. The flutter of her around me pulls me under, her name torn from my lips as the world whites out. For heartbeats afterward, we stand locked together, the shower’s spray cooling against our flushed skin.
We both pant, neither moving, and I love the feel of her around me. Filling her as I moan her name. I honestly don’t know how life could get better than this.
“Don’t get a place in town.”
Harper stiffens against me, and I realize how it sounds. “What?”
“Stay with your parents,” I clarify, “until you’re ready to move in with me.”
Pulling away, she turns around, and my limp cock brushes against my thigh. “You don’t think living with my parents will be a problem?”
I capture her bottom lip between my teeth and nibble. “No, because I have a feeling you’ll spend most of your nights here. With me. Naked and moaning.”
“Don’t you mean I should move in with you whenwe’reready?”
Her face fits perfectly in my palms as I cup her cheeks, rubbing her soft skin with my thumbs. “I’m ready now, but I don’t want to pressure you until—”
“Yes.”
“Really?”
“I don’t want to move back in with my parents. It’s either my own place or with you.”
A smile spreads across my face. “Me. Pick me.”
“You don’t think it’s too soon?”
“Not for me,” I admit. “I mean it when I say I’ve wanted this forever, Harper. But I need you to tell me if you feel like things are moving too fast. I want it all with you, but you need to be ready, too.”
She sighs, tilting her head. “You have no idea how hot you are when you talk like that.”
I laugh and kiss her. “Do we really have to leave? I think I’m coming down with something.”
My fake cough lacks conviction, and she taps my cheek playfully. “There will be plenty of time to go down when we get back home. I’m determined to show you just how good my mouth skills are.”
“Oh, I’ll hold you to that, baby.”
