“I want to see if your panties match.”

She laughs softly. “Why would I lie?”

I slip my fingers under the waistband of her pants and tug them down her hips, kneeling to kiss her stomach. Matching blue lace comes into view.

I flick my gaze up to hers. “Beautiful.”

“Thank you.” She runs her fingers through my hair.

I yank her pants off the rest of the way, tossing them aside and run my greedy hands up her calves, up her thighs, straight to her center.

She lets out a needy gasp when I press my lips to the thin material and slowly pull it away with my teeth. “I’ve been dying to do this all day,” I rasp.

“R-really?”

“Yeah.” I slide the panties down her legs and help her step out. “It’s so pretty on you, but I need the bra off too.”

She wiggles out of my hold, turns and pulls her hair to the side, revealing the clasp, silently telling me to do it myself.

Chuckling softly, I sink my teeth into one round cheek, then kiss my way to the base of her spine. “Smart ass.”

I rise and work the clasp loose.

She slips the straps off her shoulders and tosses the bra to the side. “Come on.” She holds out her hand to me.

“Uh, I had other plans in mind.” My mouth protests but my feet follow her around the corner into the bathroom.

“You said you wanted to take a shower.”

“I wanted to get younaked.” I wasn’t lying about feeling gritty from the day, though. “But I’m willing to multi-task.”

She glances at me over her shoulder as she turns on the shower spray. “In the name of efficiency, right?”

“Brains and beauty. I love you.” I mold myself to her back, wrapping my arms tight around her. I don’t know what it is about Margot, but I want to give her everything and anything in the world. I want to give her the best version of me even if I don’t know what the fuck that is.

She tips her head back, resting it on my chest and stares up at me. “I love you too.” She rubs her hand over my arms. “Ready? Oh, let me put my hair up.”

I release her and she hurries to the counter to pick up a bright-green claw-shaped thing. She winds her hair into a thick, messy knot and secures it with the clip.

The door lets out a low creak as I open it. Steam billows out and I reach in to adjust the temperature. “Hurry.”

She reaches into a cabinet and pulls out two thick yellow towels and hangs them on the hooks outside the shower. “On my way.”

I step in and hold out my hand for her.

As soon as she’s inside, I lean down and slide my lips over hers. All my blood rushes south as she opens for me. She reaches down and wraps her hands around my cock and strokes.

I hiss in a breath. “Fuck, not yet, Margot.”

She pushes out her bottom lip. “But you look like you need some attention.”

“You’re going to attend to me, don’t worry.”

She grips me harder, working her soft warm hands over me with quick, firm tugs.

“Fuuuck.” My legs shake from how good that feels. She’s distracting me from my plans. “Turn around and put your hands against the wall.”

She frowns. “Are you sure?” Her hand tightens around me, and she strokes faster. As much as I’m trying to stay in control,my hips jerk in time with her movements. “It doesn’t feel like you want me to stop,” she adds, voice low and taunting.
