I caught it, and we stood there in silence while we took hefty drinks as per the massage therapists’ instructions. A few stray drops lingered on the corner of her lip, and I watched as she darted her tongue out to catch them.
Fuck, I wanted that tongue in my mouth again. Wanted to kiss every inch of her body again.
“I need a shower,” she said. “I’m covered in lotion and oil from the massage.” She tossed her empty water bottle in the recycling bin.
“Me too.” I cocked a brow at her, crossing the room to toss my bottle in the bin, then offered her my hand.
She sputtered for a second. “You want to take a shower with me?”
Damn, as cute as it was for her to be constantly shocked at how much I wanted her, it made me just as pissed that she’d been beat down to be so doubtful about herself.
“Of course I do,” I said matter-of-factly.
After a few seconds, she slid her hand into mine, and I led her through our room to the spacious shower in the connected bathroom.
I turned on the hot water, then turned to her, reaching for the hem of her shirt. I gauged her reaction, noting the hesitance there.
“We don’t have to do this,” I said. “If you don’t want to—”
“I do,” she cut me off. “I really, really do.”
“But?” I asked.
“I’ve just…I’ve never experienced anything like this before. I don’t know how to act, what to do. I don’t want to do anything wrong. I know you’ve had way more experience than me in this department, so it probably isn’t a big deal to you, but I’m terribly behind when it comes to this. Not because I didn’t try…” Her voice trailed off, and she shook her head. “I’m totally ruining the moment.”
I tipped her chin up to meet my eyes. “You could never do anything wrong,” I said. “Not with me. And you’re not ruining anything.” My heart ached in my chest for how badly she’d been treated and how clearly I’d been oblivious to it.
I knew Dennis had been a dick, but I never thought he’d been making her feel like shit for wanting things sexually. Hell, she could ask me to wear nothing but an apron and fuck her in the kitchen while dinner was on the stove and I’d be into it.
“From here on out, Luna,” I continued. “You don’t need to doubt anything. Not with me. You tell me what you want, what you’ve been missing, and I’ll do my best to make it happen.”
“Because I’m your fiancé,” she said timidly.
“For the next ten days,” I said, hating that my gut twisted with the deadline. Hated that I couldn’t tell if that’s all this was to her or if I was simply a rebound after a really shitty relationship.
But I didn’t care.
I’d take whatever pieces she gave to me.
I’d be whatever she needed, as long as it was me that she used for that need.
“Okay then,” she said, pure delight lighting up her eyes as she stepped toward me, and tugged my shirt over my head.
I did the same for her, and soon we were bare as we stepped into the warm shower.
I navigated her under the stream of hot water, relishing the way she arched against the heat. I watched the drops cascade over her body, watched her nipples peak against the sensation, and groaned.
“You’re so fucking sexy,” I said as she dipped her hair beneath the stream.
She eyed me, trailing all the way down to my very hard dick. “You are,” she said, running her fingers through her hair.
I grabbed the body wash, dumping a good amount into my hands before lathering up and stepping into her space. I ran my hands over her body, taking my time soaping her up. She did the same for me, our motions slow and deliberate like we had all the time in the world.
Ten days.
I only had her like this for ten more days.
I couldn’t waste a second of it.
“Tell me,” I said after we’d rinsed off. “Tell me what you want that you haven’t gotten.” I trailed my hands over her wet body, lightly teasing her nipples.
She sighed, arching into my touch. “It was just things like this,” she said. “Attention, foreplay. I barely ever…” She didn’t finish her sentence, and I shook my head as I gripped her hips and turned her so her back kissed my chest, the water spraying us down one side so it wasn’t in her face.
“He didn’t take care of you,” I said, knowing that’s what she meant. What a selfish fucking asshole.
“No,” she admitted, her breathing ratcheting up the more I ran my hands over her body.
I leaned down, kissing her neck before grazing my teeth over that spot beneath her ear she loved so much. She arched from the sensation, causing her luscious ass to grind against my cock.
