Heat pooled low in the pitof my stomach at the thought of everything I hadn’t done with Gray yet.Everything Iwantedto do with him.
There were perks to having aboyfriend. Especially one who I already knew was incredible in bed.
Just as I was thinking that,Gray turned me around again, nudged me under the spray, and grabbed the shampoobottle.
Obviously, he really wantedto do this for me. Not that I really wanted to discourage him. I was justsurprised by how eager he seemed.
But then, I knew I wasn’t the only oneof us who didn’t have anyone to take care of them. Not like this. Gray had allhis friends—friends I was hoping I’d get to meet one day—but he was as hopelessat romantic relationships as I was.
We could learn together.Gray was the right person to learn with. Patient and kind and warm.
Plus, hot.
I grinned to myself as hestarted working his fingers into my scalp, tipping my head back and letting myeyes fall closed. Even as the tension eased out of my shoulders, a different,morefunkind gathered in my belly.
My cock definitely knew whatit wanted. Maybe I could convince Gray that sex in the shower was a great idea,after all?
Biting my lip, I trailed ahand down my chest and stomach as if I was alone and justimaginingthegorgeous man behind me, scratching so perfectly at my scalp that it was sendingtingles down my spine.
Gray chuckled as I got to mycock, already half-hard, blood rushing to it so fast that between that and theheat of the shower, I was starting to feel lightheaded.
“Impatient much?” he asked,gently angling my head to rinse the shampoo out, one hand on my brow so thewater wouldn’t get in my eyes.
“Heroic rescues are sexy,” Idefended. “I’m waiting patiently for my heroic rescuer to drag me to bed andclaim his reward.”
“I get a reward?” Grayasked, and I didn’t need to look at him to picture the way his face had lit upas he said it.
Even if I hadn’t beendetermined to reward him before, I would have been now. Heclearlyhad something inmind, and I wanted to know what it was.
“Mmhmm,” I said, turningaround to face him once he’d washed the last of the shampoo out of my hair. “Thoughts?”
To my surprise, a softdusting of pink suddenly sprung up over Gray’s cheekbones.
This was going to begood,whatever it was.
“Anything you want,” Iadded, reaching out to put a hand in the center of his chest. “You can’t shockme.”
“You seemed to be into theidea of my ass,” Gray said. “I was hoping you might, uh… I know some peoplejust prefer to bottom and it’s okay to say no, but—”
“Yes,” I interrupted, throatalready hoarse at the thought of what Gray was asking.
All the nervousness on Gray’s face meltedaway at once, replaced with a tentative little smile that I wanted to kiss offhis face and keep in my heart forever.
I loved him. Every time Ilooked at him, my whole brain shoutedI love youso loudly that I couldn’t think ofanything else. It was exciting and terrifying and everything I needed rightnow.
I’d never been much of abeliever in fate, but…
Maybe we’d managed tomake our own destiny, here.
When Gray kissed me thistime, I was ready for it. I grabbed hold of him, pulling him back with me so Iwas pinned against the tiles and he was pressed against me, skin-to-skin.
The faintest little twitchof his cock made me smirk. I was learning what got him off, and now I was usingit to my advantage.
I could hardly wait to knowall his secrets. To be able to turn him on with a raised eyebrow and a knowinglook, because we were so sure of each other that he’d be able to tell exactlywhat I was thinking from that.
That didn’t even feel allthat far off. Weworkedtogether.
“Eager?” he asked, voicerumbling against my skin as he kissed his way down my neck.
