She snorted too. “Maybe we’ll have it worked out of our systems by then.”
Reluctantly I pulled away, but not far.
And I took her with me when I went.
I walked us straight into the shower stall where I turned it on full blast, tempering the heat slightly between the scald your skin off setting and the setting that I normally liked to take it at.
I knew she liked it warmer.
There was no way I could deal with her idea of “perfect shower temperature,” though.
I wanted to be able to feel her hands on my skin for the foreseeable future, and if I had second-degree burns to contend with, I wouldn’t get that.
“Ahh,” she said as she finally allowed her feet to slide from around my hips. “Not as warm as I’d like, but I can deal.”
I snorted as I pulled my still-hard cock from her pussy.
We both groaned.
“Sore?” I asked her.
She shook her head. “Not yet.”
I grinned. “You will be.”
She narrowed her eyes. “You’ll just have to be gentler with me next time.”
“I’ll certainly try,” I teased as I reached for the shampoo that she’d left at my place. We now had toiletries at both places. “Close your eyes.”
She did, and I worked the shampoo into her hair.
My fingers dug into her scalp, and she groaned.
I fully expected her to question me more on what we’d talked about before this had all happened, but she didn’t say a word.
She silently allowed me to take care of her, not saying a word. Not even when we were done in the shower.
Not when I pulled her back into bed and we fell asleep, either.
Maybe it made me a monster to take her, but I couldn’t find it in myself to care.
That was a future me problem.
The current me wanted to do nothing more than soak in every second with her.

My life would be way better if I wasn’t intelligent enough to know how stupid some people are.

It was the squeal of horses that had both of us vaulting out of bed.
“What the fuck?” I asked, but Romeo was already running out of the room buck-ass naked.
I twisted in the bed to look out at the barn that you could see from the bedroom window and gasped when I saw the smoke barreling out of the side door.
