I snorted. “Yes, Dragon-man, then I'll suck your shaft until your eyes roll back into your head.”
He grunted and stood up without taking my hand. “We shall see.”
Chapter Fourteen
“I'm to bathe alone?” Kaspian snarled as if I had suggested he shave off his hair. “After we have been intimate?”
“Do you see the shower stall? It's not big enough for the both of us.” I waved toward the tub/shower combo. “If you were a normal-sized guy, maybe. But not with . . .” I moved my hand from the stall to circle wildly before him. “All ofthat.”
Kas smirked. “You are enamored of me.”
“Way to ruin the mood.” I turned around.
Before I could reach the bathroom door, Kaspian pulled me back, smacking me into his chest. His arms went around me and his head lowered, bringing his lips to my ear. “This pleases me because I am enamored of you.”
Hard. Instant hard-on. And it wasn't just his words. It was his breath on my ear. His voice. The way his hands gripped me with a strength and possessiveness that no one had ever shown me before. I liked an aggressive guy, but there had to be a balance. Aggressive, not arrogant. Kaspian's kingly attitude rubbed me the wrong way. But when he rubbed me right, he really rubbed. Like he was trying to pull a genie out of a lamp.
“I'll bet you say that to all the guys you sleep with on an alien planet.” I looked over my shoulder at him and smirked, as if his words hadn't affected me at all.
“I thought I was the alien?” He nuzzled me, then let me go.
“You are.” I turned to face him. “To me. But this world is alien to you. Isn't it?”
Kaspian looked around the little room. “It is similar in a lot of ways. But yes, mostly, it is different.”
“A hot shower will help.” I reached into the stall and turned the taps. “This one increases or decreases the heat. This one is for cold. You see? Then turn them all the way when—”
He laid his hand over mine, under the spray. “This is a similarity. I can operate the shower. But thank you.”
“Okay. Uh, shampoo for your hair. Conditioner, if you like. I assume you will since your hair is so silky. And soap for your, uh, body.”
“Conditioner.” Kas picked up the bottle and peered at it.
I took it and opened the lid. “This is for after you've cleansed your hair. Shampoo, rinse, then put some of this on your hair. Leave it while you wash your body, then rinse it out. It softens hair.”
“Softens?”
“Just try it.”
“All right.” He set it back and stripped.
I hurried out of the room before I started drooling.
With the door shut behind me, I could breathe easier. It was as if Kaspian was a fire himself, sucking up all the air while he threatened to burn my entire world.
“Fuck,” I muttered and walked away.
I took a single step before I heard him behind me. Kaspian had opened the door.
I turned back. “You okay?”
“Yes. I just prefer there not to be barriers between us.” With that, he returned to his shower.
Leaving me to gape after him.
The really weird part was how not-weird that felt. In fact, I wanted to go back in there and sit on the toilet while he bathed. Just to be near him. Ugh! How pathetic was that?
“Nope.” I determinedly walked away.
