He wiggles and squirms and drives me nearly out of my mind with lust until I just can’t take it anymore. I need to get out of bed before I come against him.

“Maybe I’ll call out sick,” Matthew says. “I haven’t used a sick day in a long time. Have a bunch saved up.”

“Yeah?” I ask, and he lets out a pathetic cough.

“Yeah. Feeling really under the weather.”

“Yeah, okay,” I say with a smile. “Call work and then let me draw you a warm bath.”

“Yeah. Okay.”

He rolls off of me and buries his head in a pillow. I swallow roughly and slide out of bed and move to the bathroom where I shut the door and run the bath for him. The rain is hitting the small window above the tub, and I stare at the raindrops, trying to will my dick to go down.

It won’t obey, so I reach into my boxers and pull it out, jerking it as the tub fills with water.

With the edging I’ve experienced over the past few hours, I come almost instantaneously, quickly wiping myself up. I feel only slightly better now that the need has been taken care of. With trembling hands, I add a bath bomb to the water and some bubbles, honeysuckle scent filling the space.

When the water has risen to a decent level, I call out for Matthew, and a moment later he trudges in. His hair is a mess, a crease in his cheek from my shirt, and he stares at the bubbly water.

“Did you call out?”

“Yep. I’m all yours today,” he says and then blushes so prettily.

“Hm, I like that,” I say, and he bites his bottom lip. “Go on. Get in.”

“You’re not going to join me?”

I freeze, not sure what the hell to do. I should absolutely not get into that water with him. My satiated dick will perk right back up, but then again, I can’t say no to him.

“I guess I can,” I reply softly, and he looks relieved at my response. With a flick of his wrists his pants are gone, and I watch with an open mouth as he slides into the water, shifting forward to make space for me behind him.

Oh my fucking heart, I think as I pull my clothes off, moving in behind him. As soon as I’m settled, my legs spread wide, he slides back against me and rests his head against my shoulder. He fits perfectly.

“I don’t think I’ve taken a bath since I was a toddler.”

“It’s nice, right?” I ask as my hands move to the sides of the tub, gripping the porcelain tightly. If they go into the water, they will touch him, and I don’t know if he wants that right now. And to be honest, I don’t know if I can handle it either.

“It’s nice. Really relaxing.”

“Hmm,” I hum as his fingertips slide across my knees and cup my calves.

“You have nice legs,” he murmurs. I blame the lazy morning fog for his comment. There’s no way in hell he’d tell me this on a random Tuesday morning.

“I like to dance,” I explain, and he turns his face so he can run his nose along my neck. We sit like this for a while in silence, my fingers clutching the side of the tub as he rests against me.

And then his hands lift out of the water and grab on to mine, pulling them against his chest.

He doesn’t say a word, but the little puff of satisfaction as my hands splay across his pecs and stomach makes my dick perk up and positively leak.

He has to feel it pressed against his lower back, but doesn’t say a word about it. Thank fuck.

I should keep my hands still, shouldn’t move them, but I can’t help it now that I’m touching him. I drag my fingertips across his smooth skin, rubbing my thumbs across his nipples and dipping them into his belly button. His muscles ripple under my touch, and I bite the inside of my cheek to keep myself from moaning.

He feels good, wet and relaxed against me.

My hands grow curious and they slide across the V in his abdomen, moving to the space between his legs. I want to reach out and see if his dick is hard, but I don’t dare. If it’s not, I may feel the disappointment for years to come. Instead, I let my fingers explore his thighs, grinning stupidly when he spreads them a little wider and lets me massage his groin.

He’s making satisfied little sounds, and I feel the hope within me start to increase. Maybe he does want this. Maybe he wants me.
