“Yes.” When I let myself look at his body, his dick is standing at attention between us. “Can I touch you?”
“Anywhere but my dick. I don’t want to blow too soon.”
“You really are turned on by me?”
He scoffs a laugh. “Uh, yeah.”
Instead of touching him with my hands, I close the gap between us, pressing my chest to his. His breath hitches and his eyes heat as he dips his soapy fingers into the crease of my ass. I nod, biting my bottom lip as I hold his gaze.
“Fuck, Jerr,” he whispers, touching my hole gently.
“That feels nice.”
“For me too.”
I reach up to drag my fingers through his wet hair to get it off his face. “I’m not comparing, but at the same time…” I shrug. “I don’t know what I’m saying.”
“Go on. This is all new and you need to process it. That’s okay with me.”
I blow out a breath. Of course he understands. He’s Bane.
“I’ve never felt so relaxed and excited with another person in this situation. I mean, I’ve never been in a shower with any of them, but just the touching and stuff, knowing what was coming… I would get all jumbled up and nervous, but that’s not at all how I feel right now.”
“Good.”
I slide my hands down over his shoulders. “You know there’s only been three guys who have…” It’s embarrassing to say aloud, even to Bane.
“Yeah, babe, I know. That’s not something we have to do. Not at all.”
“I want to. I want to know how it feels with you. With love.”
His eyes soften and he pulls me a little closer. “I don’t have to top. I’m more than willing to bottom for you.”
A giggle bubbles out of me. “I’m glad you are, but I’m not at all comfortable with that idea. I wouldn’t have the first clue how to manage that.”
“We don’t have to do anything right away. We have the rest of our lives, remember?”
I nod. “Yeah.”
“So if you get curious, and you want to try, say the word, babe.”
“Okay.”
I let my hands wander down his back and tentatively slide my fingers into his crease. He moans softly, holding my gaze. I don’t plan to do anything but wash him, but I do have to admit to myself that this feels very nice, and I want to do more. I want to explore.
Bane’s Adam’s apple bobs as he puts a slight distance between us, his hand moving down my chest to my dick. “Can I?”
“Please.”
When he touches me, my stomach flutters and a shiver moves down my spine. I blow out a breath, reminding myselfthere’s no pressure or judgment here. This is my best friend, and he loves me. I can do this. I want to.
“We should get out,” I say. “I’m ready.”
Bane smiles, reaching over to turn the water off while I focus on the fact that my body feels different. It’s like a thousand lights are shimmering inside of me, waking up parts I didn’t know were there. Bane steps out, handing me a towel before he dries himself off.
His cock is obviously hard now, and I realize with only mild shock that I really want to put that in my mouth. I’m not sure I’ve ever thought about it before. It was just something I did to appease the guy I was dating, but that’s not my motivation right now. I actuallywantto.
Bane leads me to the bedroom, dropping his towel at the foot of the bed. I drop mine too, crawling onto his bed and lying on my back. I’ve been in his bed countless times, but never like this.
