Bennett blew out a breath.“Damn.”
She grinned as she started across the carpet toward the bathroom.She grabbed his hand as she passed him, tugging him with her.“I have beendreamingabout that shower.”
“This is going to be the dirtiest shower you’ve ever had.”
“It better freaking be,” she tossed over her shoulder.
They stepped into the bathroom and Bennett went straight for the shower, starting the water and adjusting the temperature.He turned back and pulled her close.He took her face in his hands.“You are the most gorgeous, amazing, sexy, funny, sassy woman I’ve ever been with.”
She gripped his wrists, looking into his eyes with a grin that was definitely sassy.“And you’re…” But she trailed off and pressed her lips together.She swallowed hard and her grin faded into a sincere look.“You’re the first guy I’ve been with that I actually really, truly respect,” she said.She shook her head.“That sounds bad.I don’t mean that my other boyfriends have been dumb or jerks.They just haven’t been…” She pressed her lips together and took a breath.
Bennett stroked his thumbs over her cheeks.“Kennedy—”
“No, I want to say this,” she said, squeezing his wrists.“You are the first guy who’s actually been a challenge.And it’s not because you’re difficult to be with or anything.I mean, I love our back-and-forth stuff and the way I never know what to expect from you.But it makes me feel energized and makes me have to be sharper and more focused.In my usual day, I can just kind of coast through and do things that are so easy and so routine that it doesn’t take much brain power.Or heart.But with you, I find that I have to be more on my game and on my toes.And now, being here with you and really learning about the things you do, you’ve made me look at everything and think that maybe I could be doing more or trying harder or…justbeingmore.”
Bennett felt his heart squeeze hard in his chest.Holy shit.He was way more than halfway in love with this woman.
“And,” she went on, her smile returning, “all of that makes me think that this sex is going to be the best of my life and I’ll never want it with anyone else ever again.So…no pressure.But I really need you to rock my world.”
He gave a little growl and put his hands on her ass, pulling her against him.“Get in that fucking shower and let me worship you.”
Her eyes widened and she nodded slowly.“Yeah.Definitely.Okay.”
He lifted a brow.“Kennedy.”
“Yeah?”
He tilted his head toward the shower.
She looked at it.“Oh.Right.”
She reached for the handle and as she pulled it open, he put his mouth against her ear.“Face that back wall, hands on the tile, legs apart.”
She blew out a breath.But did as she was told.
Bennett felt a surge of heat and triumph flood through him.Kennedy was not a woman who anyone bossed around.Unless she let them.
That meant something.She trusted him.She wanted him.She was willing to put her pleasure in his hands.
He intended to prove that was a very good idea.
He stepped in behind her.The water was coursing over her from the rainfall showerhead in the ceiling, wetting her hair and running in slick, shiny rivulets over her skin.She had her hands on the wall and her head tipped forward slightly.
Bennett lifted a hand and traced a single finger from the base of her neck down her spine, watching her skin pebble and her body shiver.He flattened both palms on her shoulders, gliding down her sides, his fingertips skimming the outsides of her breasts, to her hips.He squeezed there, then continued down the outsides of her thighs, loving the feel of her skin under his hands.And the way she just stood still and let him touch her.He moved his hands up and down her thighs, then slid around to the front, stroking up to her belly and then back and forth.
She arched her back, pressing her ass against his cock.He groaned at the contact and flattened his hands on her stomach, holding her still so he could rock into her for a moment.She moaned softly and he put his lips against the curve where her neck turned into her shoulder.
“Fuck, you’re amazing,” he told her.
Kennedy tipped her head back, letting the water run over her face, her eyes closed.“This is decadent,” she said.“I never want to leave this shower.”
He ran his lips over the side of her neck, then bit down gently on the top of her shoulder.“Well, you’re not going to be able to stay in here after I fuck you so good that your legs won’t hold you up.”
“Damn,” she said on a long, exhaled breath.“Yes.”
He ran his hands up, cupping her breasts, the hard tips pressing into his palms.He played with her nipples, tugging and rolling, as she circled her hips, moving her ass against his cock.He was aching and loving every second of this.Just having her in his arms, her body all his, to play with and pleasure, was heaven.It felt like he’d wanted her forever.
“Can I touch you?”she asked.“Please?”
