you come.”
I was speechless with post-orgasmic ecstasy as I watched him strip. Magnificence stood before me and I danced my fingers over his flesh until goosebumps rose.
The shower door opened with a swoosh and I was whisked inside as he turned on the water and tested it. Then the spa jets came on. Our bodies were massaged everywhere and Tristian didn’t hold back. He dropped to his knees and began where he left off, only this time I was naked. My leg ended up draped over his shoulder and he tongued me to another magnificent orgasm.
His arms wrapped around me, he lifted me, and I was impaled in one full thrust. My back rested against the cool marble as the water pulsated our skin and his cock plunged in and out. Flames nibbled my core until they erupted into an inferno, setting me free as I climaxed. Warmth filled me up as he followed. My dazed brain was lust-infused as we stood beneath the water.
Until a shockwave hit. “Tristian! The condom!”
“Fuck!” He jerked away, pulling out, and I wriggled free of his hold. Then I hopped around in the shower like a fool.
“What are you doing?”
“Trying to get it out!”
His roar of laughter was like fingernails screeching across a blackboard.
“Stop! This is serious. What if I get pregnant?”
“My gorgeous starshine, jumping around like that won’t prevent it. What will is the morning-after pill. Or, on the other hand, would that be so bad?”
“Yes! I mean, no, if we work out. But if we don’t, I can’t handle two kids on my own.”
“Understood. Then we’ll find a pharmacy and get what you need.”
Something poked the inside of my ribs, though. What if I had done that with Easton? I never would’ve known that joy in my life. “Is that killing a baby?”
“I don’t think so, but I’m not sure. Maybe we should look it up.”
After we dried off, I used my phone to research it and was relieved to find it just delayed ovulation. “Whew. That’s good.”
“Shall we dress and go buy it?”
“Yes. And since we’re on the subject, are you safe? I know I am because you’re the first person I’ve been with since the doucheface and that was when I got pregnant with Easton.”
He took me into his arms. “English, I am safe. I’ve been tested, but to ease your mind, I’ve never had sex without a condom until today. I guess I lost my mind back there.”
Touching his cheek, I said, “I’d say the same. That was the best shower I’ve ever taken.”
“By the way, those underwear were fabulous.”
“Thank you.” I winked.
“I’m going to buy you a drawer full of them.”
We dressed and our first stop was a pharmacy where the purchase was made.
As we were leaving, Tristian asked, “Have you ever considered birth control?”
“I never had a reason to, but I suppose now would be a good time.”
“I’d love that.”
We moved down the street at a leisurely pace. The weather was gorgeous for a March day. He steered me into a store, which I paid zero attention to until we got inside.
The showcases upon showcases of jewelry had my eyes saucering. “Uh, Tristian, what are we doing here?”
“Getting our wedding rings, of course. I’m going to pick them out, so just go look around.”
“Okay. Nothing too fancy, please.”
With a nod, he left. There were bracelets, necklaces, watches and everything under the sun. I knew about jewelry. Dad rained it on Mom. On every occasion and just for the hell of it he presented her with something, and he had excellent taste. Many times he’d had things specially designed for her. This place was not low-end and the brands in the cases told me that. I nibbled my thumbnail as I wondered what he’d pick out for me.
After an hour or so, I finally found a chair to sit on, and Tristian came over to find out my ring size. I tried on a few of those trial sizers and he left again. Another hour passed and he came back with a bag.
“Ready?”
“Been ready.”
He took my hand and we left.
“I was told you need an appointment for the cheesy wedding chapel,” Tristian said. “There’s one right up here. Let’s do that.”
“Cool. Are you going to show me what you bought?”
“In due time, nosy.” There was a cool restaurant on the right that he pointed out. “Are you hungry?”
“Starving.”
We got a table and ate. After, we went back to the hotel to get ready for the show we had
