“No arguments, kitten, or I’ll spank you.” Her lips twitched. Oh she’d just love that. But Reece wasn’t in the mood for that either.

She sighed in defeat. “Fine.”

“Good girl.” Scarlet grabbed her hand and towed her into the bathroom then started the shower. When Reece started to lift up her shirt, Scarlet swatted her hand away. “Let me.” She looked her over before undressing her. “Look at you. You’re a mess.” Shirt gone. Bra off. “Now is this really about our play session tonight or something more? You know we’re not going to tie you down and tattoo you or anything, right?”

Scarlet yanked down her shorts then froze. Lifting her gaze to Reece’s face, she smirked. “No underwear? Naughty girl.”

Reece stepped out of her shorts while Scarlet checked the water.

“In,” she said, gesturing to the shower. Scarlet gave her ass a little slap as she walked by.

The warm water felt good on her aching muscles. Why had she worked herself so hard? Now she was going to be twice as sore later...after whatever happened at Mal’s shop. She gulped.

Scarlet climbed into the shower and Reece had a hard time paying attention to her worried thoughts anymore. Water droplets fell onto her girlfriend’s chest, decorating her nipples, making them look so lickable. Before Reece could swoop in and taste her, Scarlet pushed her back under the spray.

Reece let the water fall over hair and some of the tension in her shoulders relaxed. Scarlet squirted lavender body wash on a loofa then bent down. Starting at Reece’s ankles, she rubbed the loofa up her legs, washing away the bleach she’d knelt in as she’d scrubbed the floor. She made her way up to her knee, then higher to her thigh. Reece gasped when she pressed the loofa right at the top of her thigh so close to her sex. An inch more and she’d melt. She let out a soft moan, letting the wave of lust take over.

“Please, Scarlet,” she rasped.

“Later, kitten.”

A growl escaped her. “Tease.”

She did the other leg as Reece washed her own hair. The flowery scent mixed with steam and filled the room. It smelled like girl and, as turned on as she was getting, sex.

“Turn around,” Scarlet ordered when she finished washing her legs. “Hands on the wall. Don’t move them.”

Instinct took over and she obeyed without much thought. It was nice to let go. Stress washed away with each stroke of the loofa down her back. She rested her forehead against the wall. The loofa made a soft trail down the cleft of her ass then under each cheek. She shuddered. A slippery hand replaced the loofa and came around her belly. It drifted up her chest, between her breasts. Scarlet’s warm body pressed up against Reece’s back. Her breath tickled her ear.

Scarlet moved her hand from her chest down her belly again then lower. Fingers grazed her lower lips too soft to do anything but tease.

She groaned and squirmed then squeezed her legs together to relieve the pressure. “Scarlet,” she whined.

“What’s the matter, my girl?”

With a grunt, she turned on her girlfriend, “You know what’s the matter!”

Scarlet chuckled then took her face in her hands and kissed her. A wet kiss as water ran over them. Warm lips moved with hers, sliding against each other. Just as Reece was getting into it, Scarlet pulled away. “Talk to me. Why did you morph into some psychotic version of June Cleaver this afternoon?”

She sighed. “I... I don’t know.”

“Yes, you do.”

She didn’t exactly. A painful lump had been growing in her chest all day, but she couldn’t really explain it. It was clear it wasn’t just about nerves anymore. And yeah, they’d both miss Malachi but... This felt like more.

Scarlet stroked her hair. “Come on, kitten. We don’t keep secrets. I know you’re pondering some deep thought in there.”

“I’m going to miss Malachi is all.”

“Oh.” She dropped her hands to her sides and frowned. “Well he said we’d still all be friends.” A small smile appeared then left just as quickly. “Or do you mean as more than friends?”

“No!” She answered too fast. “Just as friends. I’m worried it’ll turn awkward.”

Scarlet nodded. “Yeah. I was thinking the same thing.” She slid her hands down Reece’s arms. “Don’t worry. We’ll figure it out. I don’t think he wants to lose us as friends either.”

A distant knock on the door drifted through the steam. “Shit!” Scarlet said. “Of course he’s early.”

Reece turned the water off and Scarlet jumped out and grabbed a towel. She looked at Reece helplessly.
