Lucky smiledas she woke to Jude kissingherneck.
"You could turn me into a morning person if you keep this up," she said, keeping her eyesclosed.
He laughed and threw the blankets back and began tickling her. She playfully slapped at him, trying to push him away, but it wasnouse.
"Okay, okay. I'm up,"shesaid.
"Good. Get ready, I want to show you around before we have to be back fortheshow."
She watched him get out of bed and walk across the room naked. She enjoyed the movement of his muscles, the bit of color from his tattoos, the view of his butt as he lefttheroom.
She quickly dressed so he wouldn't see her naked, too. She couldn't explain it, but all her usual insecurities about her body were there when he wasn't around. When he was there, he made her feelbeautiful.
She pulled her hair up into a large bun, put on an oversized t-shirt, then wondered where they were going. Did she need to dress nicer? Hearing the shower turn on, she entered thebathroom.
"Where are wegoing?"
"A couple ofplaces."
"Like?"
"It's a surprise. I know you've never been here before. Wish we had time to take in a show. Just dresscomfortably."
"Okay."
Leaning against the counter, she watched the suds slide down his body. She grinned then immediately turned away, trying to hide itfromhim.
"Isawthat."
"You saw nothing," she said as her cheeks begantoburn.
"You know there's room for one moreinhere."
He shook his wet hair as he faced her. Droplets of water hit the glass door that separated them then ran down, giving her a clear view of his body as the water cut through thesteam.
"I thought you were inarush."
"Yes, but getting you clean will only take a fewminutes."
"Oh. I thought..." she said, feelingdisappointed.
"How quickly you've gone from virgin to sex goddess," he teased. "Don't you worry, I'll gladly make it up to youlater."
She felt sexier than ever thinking about how this gorgeous rock star that everyone wanted, wanted her. Pulling off her t-shirt, she got into the shower with him. He moved aside to make room for her under the warm water as he rubbed the soap between his hands, making itlather.
"I thought youweredone."
"I am. But someone needs to bathe you," he said before rubbing his soapy hands over hershoulders.
She giggled as he kissed her then turned her around to face the water. He lathered up her back, then slid his hands down over her butt. She shrieked withsurprise.
"What?" he saidinnocently.
