“Fair enough.” I laughed lowly before taking a bite. The flavor exploded on my tongue, and I moaned. “Fuck, woman. This tastes almost as good as you.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.” She laughed, colour staining her cheeks.
“As you should.” I grinned, eating another bite, enjoying the smile my words brought to her face. The force of her beauty made my balls ache. Even without makeup, she was stunning. Flawless skin, thick lashes, and plump lips still swollen from our frenzied kisses.
Watching the way her lips wrapped around the fork sent all the blood in my system rushing south.
My cock strained against my zipper, and I set my empty bowl down, eyes still fixated on her. She smirked, taking one last bite of pasta before mirroring my action.
“Are you ready for dessert?” she asked coyly, I nodded eagerly, grinning as I watched her stand and remove her t-shirt. She tossed it aside carelessly. “Meet me in the bathroom in five and bring a condom this time.” She tossed the words over her shoulder, disappearing behind the bathroom door.
She didn’t have to tell me twice.
Gwen
Behind the safety of the bathroom door, I sat down on the table, trying to calm my racing heart.
Something had shifted. I couldn’t figure out if it was him or me.
Who was I kidding, it was probably me.
Inwardly groaning, I glared at the ceiling. I needed to get myself together, and fast—the five minutes I’d given Alaric was quickly slipping away. I’d have plenty of time to sift through my emotional turbulence later when he left.
Taking a deep breath, I finished peeing and flushed the toilet. I brushed my teeth with breakneck speed, making sure I got rid of all traces of food, and darted over to the tub to turn on the shower.
Tugging my hair free, I ran my hands through the curls to separate them. I took another fortifying breath, and my nipples hardened against the chill in the air and the anticipation.
Alaric knocked softly. “Come in,” I called, looking over my shoulder to watch him. He was still wearing his jeans, although he’d unbuttoned them and was commando. His thickening erection slapped proudly against the hard planes of his stomach when he pushed them the rest of the way down.
He was so goddamn hot that looking directly at him was enough to get the juices pumping. I smirked a little, trying to play coy. “Hope you remembered the condoms.”
“I did.” He grinned, flashing the strip at me. I pulled back the curtain, disappearing behind it.
“There’s a spare toothbrush on the counter if you want.” I closed my eyes and let the hot water cascade over me.
“Is that a subtle hint to brush my teeth?”
“Yes,” I admitted, poking my head out to grin at him. I laughed at the look on his face. “Relax. I have a stash of never-opened toothbrushes under the sink.”
“Why?” His brow furrowed, and my heart fluttered with the possibility that he was feeling jealous. I desperately hoped he was.
“Look at the box.” I arched a brow, knowing it said the name of my dental office. “They give them out every time you go, but I don’t like the brand. I just take them to be polite, and they do come in handy.”
“Do you do a lot of entertaining?”
“No,” I said slowly. “I use them to clean the shower grout.” I disappeared behind the curtain as he chuckled.
Even hislaughwas attractive. It was like he wasn’t made from the same stuff as regular people.
A couple of minutes later, Alaric joined me in the shower. He set a condom within reach on the side of the tub and moved toward me. Lowering his head, his lips brushed tenderly against mine before his hand tangled in my wet curls.
Deepening the kiss, Alaric moved forward until he’d backed me against the wall of the shower. He palmed my ass with his free hand, squeezing possessively.
He hooked my leg up and held it, moving tighter against me. I nibbled on his lip, and his cock throbbed against my thigh in response. We were slippery and wet, and when I gripped the back of his neck, he slid against my core.
We both drew in a breath, eyes fixated on the place where he’d brushed against me. The feel of his skin against my core made me whimper with want.
Alaric drew in a breath and released me, reaching for the condom. He ripped the package open, then donned the latex in one fluid motion.
