felt her power now. He saw it in her eyes, in the tilt in her chin, in the way she held her shoulders. She flaunted her body as she descended slowly into the water, and sank down onto the bench, the steaming water now up to her collarbone. “Thank you,” she said demurely.
He followed her lead, and sat down next to her. But the natural magnetism of their bodies just pulled him toward her until their thighs touched.
“Is the temperature good?” he asked. “It’s not too hot?”
“It’s perfect,” she said. “It’s delicious. Just like this.”
They floated there for a while, and he reached over, sliding his finger into her hand. He felt almost, oh God forbid, shy. He fished awkwardly for something to say.
“So, Gina says there’s a strip mall about twenty miles down the highway,” he said. “There’s an electronics store with gaming stuff there. I checked, and the site says it opens at nine. Plus there are clothing stores, so we can outfit you.”
“Don’t worry about that,” she said. “I’ll get my stuff back from Demi’s apartment if I survive. A change of clothes is the least of my worries right now.”
“You shouldn’t have to wait,” he said stubbornly. “We’ll just grab a few things.”
“Very nice of you, but not necessary,” she told him. “Is this part of your seductive lover-boy routine? Buying me fripperies?”
“No, just a simple to-do list,” he admitted. “I’m not the crafty scheming type.”
She floated out into the middle of the tub and spun around to face him, smiling into his eyes. “You’re sweet, Nate,” she said. “Did you know that?”
“No,” he said, bemused. “Not particularly.”
She surged forward and cupped his face in her hands—and kissed him.
God. He was so primed, he could have come then and there. By a hair, he fought it down, breathing it down, fists clenched. Her lips were so soft and sweet. A tender, velvety hidden secret that only he was privileged to know. It humbled him.
Her hands splayed over his chest. So trusting. The points of her nipples touched his chest, ever so slightly. Tiny twin kisses, every point of contact a bright glow of hyper-awareness.
Kissing her made him want to be worthy of her. To be better than he was.
Then she was on his lap, straddling him. Knees perched on the bench, right over his stiff, aching cock. Her body undulating against him with a sigh, the water heaving and sloshing around her shoulders. Inviting him to take whatever he wanted.
What, was this some sort of test of his resolve? Damn. He made a low sound, a groan of frustration, and lifted her gently up, holding her suspended in the water.
“We shouldn’t do it again so soon,” he said. “You should rest. Take it easy. You’re killing me.”
“Am I?” Her small, secret smile drove him nuts. “Talk about mixed messages.”
“Don’t tease me,” he pleaded. “It’s really fucking hard to say no to you.”
“So don’t,” she said. “If it’s hard to say no, then it should be easy to say yes.”
She reached down to caress his dick. That twist-squeeze-pull, from root to the head, made him shudder and gasp. “What a waste of a beautiful hard-on,” she said.
The water sloshed heavily as she stood up. Pink from the heat. Gleaming.
She sank down facing him on the top step, which was barely covered in water, and fixed her big, dreamy eyes on him, red lips parted, eyelashes tangled with drops of water. Trailed her hand down slowly. Over her breast, over her belly, and then lower, to the whorl of dark silky hair on her mound.
Her legs opened. “I just feel so hot,” she whispered. “But poor me…it looks like I’ll have to take care of this all by my lonesome self, right?”
“Holy fuck,” he groaned. “Really? You’re going to do this to me?”
“Well, technically speaking, it’s something that I’m doing to myself,” she mused. “What choice do I have, if I want this orgasm? And I do want it. I want it bad.”
He watched, hypnotized, at the stunning spectacle of her pale skin, her gleaming, luminous hot pink folds sensually caressed by her long, slender fingers. Parting herself, opening, showing him all of it. Her golden eyes were half-lidded, lost in a sensual dream. Completely unself-conscious. Owning him, taunting him as she toyed with the taut pink button of her clit. Watching him watch her, with that seductive smile.
He loved to see her like this. Playful, strong. Enjoying her pleasure. Egging him on. Fucking with his head, in
