I handed him the shake, and he slowly took it, sitting up with some effort. Then he pressed the drink to his lips, finishing it in a few solid gulps.
"Thanks, really good—for a protein shake." He bit his lip, eyeing me with a smile. "You must have a lot of these…" He gestured toward my abs. "Do you go to the gym a lot?"
I laughed, a little embarrassed. "Well, you know, for the past three years, I haven’t been in a normal relationship. So, outside of work… well, I spent my free time at the gym. That’s why I’ve got a good stock of protein shakes, probably enough to last through this whole heat. But I’d still say we should eat some real food in between," I murmured with a laugh.
Liam nodded, his eyes looking brighter, almost golden instead of their usual cappuccino shade.
"And now, I think we both need to head to the shower—we’re getting a little sticky."
Liam gave me a shy look. "You mean… together?"
"Do you want to? The shower is pretty small—it’s a tiny house, after all."
"It’s not that small. I think we can both fit—I don’t take up much space," he winked, giving his torso a playful little pat.
I allowed myself a slightly provocative smile.
"Your wish is my command. Let’s go shower, then."
With a playful curtsy, I offered him my hand, and he got out of bed. He walked to the bathroom completely naked, while I was just in boxers.
"You know, even after only a few days together, I can see a difference—you’re not so skinny anymore; you’re filling out a bit," I murmured, winking warmly at him since certain pleasant contours of his body hadn’t escaped my notice.
Liam looked at me with a tentative smile. I had the urge to lightly tap his small nose, but I wondered if that might be too much—was he ready for that level of playfulness?
We stepped into the shower, managing to fit together, though I quickly realized there was only one way this was going to work.
"Let’s do this: first, I’ll wash you, then you wash me. This way, only one of us is moving at a time, so we won’t be bumping into each other or hitting our elbows on the walls since it’s a bit tight in here."
We did exactly as I’d suggested.
But the moment he turned around, I froze for a second, the ‘Soren’ tattoo suddenly right in front of me, requesting attention. Earlier, during sex, Liam had worn a T-shirt pulled down over his back when we were in the doggy position, but now he was fully naked, and the tattoo was there in its full, inky glory, staring back at me with its swirling lines.
Unconsciously, I cleared my throat, and Liam glanced at me over his shoulder.
"I know… but please, just ignore it," he whispered.
"There’s no problem," I mumbled in response. "I just forgot it was there for a second."
"I forget all the time. But in my case, it’s completely on purpose," he said with a bitter edge to his voice.
Wanting to ease the tension, I started by gently working through his strawberry-blonde strands. Gently massaging his scalp seemed to have the intended relaxing effect—he let out little sounds, almost like purring.
"This feels nice; I didn’t realize a head massage could be so soothing," he murmured.
"Just let yourself wind down and enjoy it," I whispered, kissing his arm.
Once I finished and rinsed his hair, I worked my way down to his neck, noticing his slightly enlarged, softer neck glands—clear signs of his heat. I gently ran my soapy hands along his nape, down his back, and then let them slide down to his waist.
My hands swirled around his round butt, and I made sure to thoroughly clean the intimate area between his ass cheeks. Liam's face was flushed, and his cock was starting to get hard as he felt my fingers moving over that spot.
"I think another heat wave is coming," he muttered suddenly, but I didn't respond.
My fingers kept circling around his entrance, which was delicate and pink, now more intensely due to the heat - the colors were deeper and more vibrant. I made a few small circles around his soft ring, and Liam let me, his breathing getting faster.
But this was supposed to be a shower, not sex, so I moved on to washing the rest of his body, including his legs and cute little feet, which he lifted up for me, so I wouldn't have to bend down.
Then it was his turn to return the favor. But this time, something unexpected happened. After washing my hair (I had to lean down), Liam's hands slid down from my arms and chest, which he had soaped up, and made their way to my cock. Let's just say he was in for a HARD surprise, and I'm not saying that lightly. His fingers wrapped around my shaft and started tomove gently, and he looked up at me with this question in his eyes.
