“Well, good thing you didn’t skip the run. Now I have a good reason to scrub you down thoroughly,” I teased, causing his hand to freeze on his other shoe and his gaze to find mine.
“Oh, I was already planning on that, Doe. Along with other things.”
I shook my head and watched as he stripped off his last shoe and walked over to the large, tiled shower and turned on the hot water. Soon, steam and a fogginess in the air filled the bathroom.
“Arms up, Doe,” he ordered as he took the space in front of me. As the shirt was slowly pulled up over my head, I heard an intake of breath.
But not a good one.
One that was filled with worry.
“Doe…”
I had fucked up majorly. So caught up in the moment, I had forgotten about my scar.
Instantly, I used my arms to cover my chest and on the quick spin of my heel, I turned away from him.
“I… I’ve had this scar for a while now. Ever since I was little,” I confessed and just when I thought he hated the look of it, I felt his hand on the side of my waist twisting me back around.
“Don’t turn away from me, Doe,” he begged as his eyes sought out my imperfection again. “Let me see all of you.”
My watery eyes peered up into his and I saw the sincerity in his expression. I saw just how badly he needed to see my scar and on an exhale, I dropped my arms, revealing the fully healed mark.
His chest puffed out as his eyes roamed over the long scar. Worry flickered in his gaze, but there was also adoration in their depths that had me wanting to jump into his arms.
“What happened, baby?” he asked but I knew if I told him, I would have to tell him everything.
So instead, I lied.
“I had some complications when I was younger, but everything is fine now. It healed nicely for where it is.”
I knew he wanted to ask more, but as if realizing that I was hesitant about the topic, he dropped it. Instead, he took a step toward me and placed a finger over the jagged flesh.
It felt strange whenever someone touched it, but he did it so lovingly.
So soft and so caring, I couldn’t stop from falling even harder.
His stare collided with mine, then seconds later, he was kneeling down and lowering his head toward my chest where he placed a line of kisses along my scar.
“You’re so fucking beautiful, Doe.”
He showered my whole chest in kisses then when he finally pulled away, I knew I couldn’t go a second longer without being in his arms.
So stripping off the rest of my clothes, along with his, we both stepped into the shower where I was lifted into his broad arms and pressed against the cool tiled wall.
“I need you,” I begged under the warm spray of the water as the throbbing tip of his cock teased my entrance.
“I need you too, baby. Always.”
I was lowered onto his cock, and he proved to me just how badly he needed me.

After three rounds of mind-blowing sex, I finally let Doe take a break for the rest of the night. Twice in the shower, once in our bed, I couldn’t get enough.
She hadn’t complained once about being sore, but I knew she had to be after everything we just did. I sure as hell didn’t take it easy on her like I should have but she didn’t seem to mind. If anything, she seemed to have wanted it rougher.
