Letting my eyes close, I breathe her in.Her skin is slick and warm, and I sense the tension in my muscles unwind because she’s back in my arms.
NowI can do it.I can finally be sure that Phoebe is alive and well.
“What’cha been up to, Phoebs?”
She snorts with laughter.“I was about to wash my hair.Don’t get your burn wet.”
“I’m a very compliant patient.”
She snorts again because she knows better.“Hey, Evander, I could be wrong, but I think what we’re doing is a HIPAA violation.”
I laugh out loud.“Somekind of violation, I hope.”
“About that.”She lifts her cheek and looks up at me.“I had to get a new birth control prescription.The doctor told me not to have unprotected sex for a week, which will be enough time for my cycle to reset.”
“That explains a lot.”
“Huh?”Her brows crinkle.
“The birth control fairy left a condom on the nightstand in my room.”
“Ginny!” She shakes her head.“Lord love a duck!You know, I’ve always tried to believe people mean well and they just want to be helpful.”
“How’s that working out for you?”
She shakes her head.“But this is a small town, andeveryone can be very up-in-your-business.”
“This is true.”
I lean down to kiss her as the hot water streaks down our bodies.Her arms reach around my back and her mouth opens to me.
But then she stops.And separates from me.Water is running between us now.I see it streaming off her absolutely stunning body, supple and strong, creamy-peach skin with a few faint freckles scattered on her chest.
I don’t think I’ve noticed those before now.I say a prayer of thanks to the good lighting gods because what I’m looking at…
“I worry I won’t hold your interest now that we’re home.”
My eyes race from her spectacular tits to her face.“What?”
She nibbles on her bottom lip and then looks at me with doubt shadowing her eyes.“I worry that what you liked about me outtherewon’t seem so specialhere.”
“Baby, I don’t understand what you’re saying.Have you suddenly become a different person now that we’re home?”
“Of course not.”
“Okay, then haveI?”
She shrugs.“You still seem to enjoy staring at my boobs.”
“Exactly.”I give her a tender kiss.“Phoebe, my sweet, funny girlfriend, please listen to what I’m about to say, okay?”
She nods.
“You were right.We’ve done everything completely back asswards.And I’m not just talking about skipping the dating and jumping right into the hot sex.”
“It was pretty hot.”
“It sure as fuck was.”
