hard, it felt more like a gulp.

Woah.

I hadn't seen that coming.

Chapter 42

Brody

I hadn't planned to tell her that. But I didn't regret it either.

My crazy roommate – and yes, I did mean Arden – had been on my mind too much over the last week. Yeah, we talked a lot about the house. And yeah, we had our share of disagreements. But it wasn't the house that warmed my blood and sent my thoughts into overdrive.

As far as the shower, it was cold for a reason. And that reason was standing just inside the bathroom doorway.

Through the frosted glass, I couldn't make out her face, but I could tell plenty by the set of her shoulders and the tilt of her chin.

She was thinking again.

I liked that about her.

And she had a way of surprising me, too. I couldn't imagine any other girl busting through the door to – in Arden's own words – give me a taste of my own medicine.

My blood was pulsing harder now. I wanted a taste alright, but not of anything medicinal.

From outside the shower, she gave a shaky laugh. "Do you want to hear something really crazy?"

"What?"

"Before I came over here, Waverly told me…" Arden cleared her throat. "…that I should, um, in her words – not mine – 'hate-fuck' you."

Hate fuck?

I knew what it meant, but it wasn't my thing. And yet, the thought of driving into Arden Weathers was enough to make me nearly groan out loud.

I'd been wanting her for days, maybe longer.

Did I hate her?

At one time, I did.

But now? I didn't know what I felt, but it wasn't hate.

I replied, "That's one idea."

With another laugh, she said, "I know. Crazy, right? I mean, it's not like we'd ever do it."

"Got that right."

Something in her posture changed, and not for the better.

Before she could even think of turning away, I said, "I’m not into the hate thing."

Her shoulders relaxed. "Oh. Uh, yeah. Me neither." She paused. "So, what are you into?"

I felt my lips curve into a knowing smile. "If you wanna come in, I'll show you."

"You mean in the shower?" She hesitated. "How cold is it?"

I gave it some thought. It wasn't too cold. But it was cold enough to make her nipples harden into nice little knobs. At the mental image, my pulse jumped, and my erection throbbed. Her nipples wouldn’t be cold for long. I'd warm them nice and slow with my tongue, and then with my mouth.

She'd be shivering, alright, but not from the cold water.

It was a nice thought. But it wasn't the way I wanted to start. I wanted her warm and willing, so I reached for the shower handle and turned it up a few notches. "It's not cold anymore," I said.

This was only half-true. It would take maybe thirty seconds for the water to fully warm. But the point remained the same.

When she spoke again, her voice was filled with breathless speculation. "I dunno…I mean, the shower's pretty narrow."

I smiled. "I know." But that was part of the appeal. We could be nice and close. And, I could think of all sorts of ways to make the tight space work in our favor.

Through the frosted glass, I gave Arden's silhouette a good, long look. I still couldn't make out her face, but I knew in my gut that if I opened the shower door for a better look, she'd be chewing on her bottom lip.

She did that when she was thinking.

She had nice lips – full and sweet. For a while now, I'd been wondering what they'd look like wrapped around my cock. Or maybe I'd focus on her other lips. I was good at that sort of thing. I could part them just enough for me to lick and suckle her secret places until she lost all control.

Now that would be something.

Or hell, forget the oral stuff. Maybe I'd just take her the old-fashioned way until she climaxed so hard, she forgot the whole "hate" part of the equation.

I didn't want her to hate me.

I wanted her to want me.

Because I wanted her.

I wanted her more than I'd wanted anyone in a long time.

Sure, I had plenty of other options, including one right across the street. But there was only girl I wanted, and she was standing on the other side of the shower door.

I said, "Or if you want, I'll come out."

"No." She hesitated. "I mean, actually, joining you wouldn’t be so bad."

She had no idea.

It wouldn't be bad at
