The hot water feels amazing. Even better are the silky bubbles that are piling up in the tub. It was a pleasant surprise to find bubble bath in the gruff mountain man’s cupboard, but I’m more than happy to take full advantage of it.
My dorm room only has a tiny shower stall that I have to share with two other girls. A bubble bath is decadent, and I’m enjoying every second of it, too.
I sink low in the tub until I’m almost under the bubbles and let thoughts of my mountain man rescuer take over. Truthfully, I didn’t think my plan through before I got here. But I was right about one thing. There are plenty of men in Rock Creek, and with the way Briggs was looking at me earlier, I know that, despite his protests, he would be a willing participant in helping me lose my virginity.
If I have to go to med school—and I do or risk disappointing Jamie—I refuse to go as a little girl. I will go into med school as a fully realized woman. Especially because med school means atleast another four years of burying my head in the books. There will be no time for men. Or anything else.
I squeeze my eyes shut and try to figure out another way but there isn’t one.
My brother works so hard so that I can have everything I could ever want. He’s so proud of me and how hard I’ve worked to become a nurse. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I told him I loved medicine so much I was considering applying for medical school. He was so excited, I had to go through with it.
But I never thought I’d actually get accepted. And now that I had, I couldn’t back out.
Not without devastating Jamie. And I’ll do anything for my big brother.
Which is why I need these few days for myself. Three days to lose my virginity, and then I’ll focus on med school.
I try to clear my head and let myself soak for a few more minutes before I realize I’ve made a mistake.
I forgot to grab a towel from the closet Briggs pointed out earlier.
He did say to holler if I needed anything.
“Briggs!”
I wait a beat and then call his name again. “Briggs, can you bring me a towel?” When he doesn’t respond the second time, I have little choice. I’m going to have to get it myself.
Carefully, I stand in the bubbles, not willing to drain the tub yet. I’ll just grab a towel and come right back.
I have one foot out of the tub when the bathroom door opens suddenly.
Shocked, I lose my balance. I try to recover, but the tub is too slippery. I’m about to crash to the tile when Briggs’s strong arms wrap around my naked, wet body.
Briggs
I movewithout thinking and save Mia seconds before she hits the hard tile. My arms wrap around her and haul her up against my chest.
“Oh! I?—”
“Are you okay?”
“You saved me.” She looks up at me with wide eyes and blinks. “Again.”
Her breath is coming in fast pants, her breasts rising and falling against my chest. Her slick body is soaking my clothes, but I don’t care.
“What were you doing? The tile is slippery. You could have?—”
“I needed a towel.”
I’m still holding her against my body, but neither of us makes a move to pull apart. If I thought my dick was painfully hard before, it feels as if it’s about to burst the zipper of my jeans now that it’s up against her naked, soapy body. I shift a little in an effort to relieve some of the pressure, but it has the opposite effect as my cock presses against her soft belly.
“Oh.” She jumps backward. “Is that your…” Mia’s eyes dart to the giant bulge in my jeans. There is no denying what it is. Her eyes grow wide as she realizes it was my monster cock that was pressing against her. A situation that is only growing more urgent by the second now that she’s standing far enough back that I can see her sweet, luscious little body on full display.
She seems to remember her situation at the same moment I do. “Oh, I…”
“You need a towel.”
I dart out of the bathroom and return moments later with a large, fluffy towel that I hold out to her. Mia steps in, and I wrap her up, only reluctantly stepping back once she’s fully covered.
