Running
Scarlet
Scarlet tried to sneak out of bed. She felt like Liam had earned extra bonus points for magically manifesting dinner and figuring out how to recover from being an asshole. She didn’t think he should have to wake up at the crack of dawn to go running with her. But she needed the outdoor time. A solid night’s sleep with him keeping her warm had done wonders, but she needed to be out under the open sky, even if there was a few inches of snow on the ground and the stink of car exhaust in the air.
She changed into her running clothes in the bathroom and came out to find Liam lacing up his sneakers.
“I was trying to let you sleep.”
“How was I supposed to do that without you?” he asked, standing up and kissing the tip of her nose.
Scarlet felt herself blush as her nether regions gave a little throb and flip-flop of desire.
“Besides, I could use the exercise.”
“Well, all right,” said Scarlet, hesitantly. “I was going to do about five miles, is that OK?”
“Sounds perfect,” he agreed.
“OK,” she said, grabbing her key and mentally crossing her fingers that he wasn’t a plodder.
But she shouldn’t have worried. Liam was easy to run with. He had a long, loping stride that kept up with her effortlessly, even when she pushed a little faster to see if he could keep up. It didn’t appear to be a problem, so she began to suspect that he could go faster if he wanted. But he wasn’t going to. Unlike some men, he didn’t feel the need show off or lead from ten feet in front. Liam liked to stick right by her side. She appreciated the general principle but did miss the opportunity to stare at his ass in his tight workout pants.
By the time they returned to her apartment, Scarlet felt that she had suffered long enough and turned around to kiss him as soon as they were through the door.
“We’re going to need to shower,” he said between kisses.
“We can do this in the shower,” she replied, tugging his shirt upward.
“Good point,” he agreed, assisting in the shirt removal process.
They moved in a backward stumble through the apartment to her bathroom, kicking off their shoes and shedding clothes as they went.
Scarlet broke free for a moment to turn on the water, bending over to grab the lever. Liam took the opportunity to run his fingers over her ass and then down and inward, caressing her gently while he planted soft kisses along her spine.
She flung out a hand to brace herself on the wall as he slid his fingers inside her.
“You’re so wet,” he murmured bending over her. She could feel his hard cock brushing against her leg. “I think you missed me.”
“Yes,” she gasped, unable to do more than agree. The water thundered into the tub, steam rising and making the wall slippery. She struggled to keep herself balanced as he stroked her pussy. She groaned, more breathless than when she had been running.
“Liam,” she moaned.
He reached out his other hand and flipped the water from faucet to shower, dousing her in a blast of icy water.
“Wolf!” she shrieked and he gave a guttural chuckle.
“That’s better.” He stepped into the shower, pulling her with him. He kissed her, tongue tasting her lips. His hands, palmed her ass, even as he pressed her against the wall. He pulled his mouth away, kissing her neck. She gave into her impulses and licked him, running her tongue along his neck, reveling in the salty, sweaty taste of him. She loved the way he smelled. There was something wild about his scent that she couldn’t identify but that always reminded her of the deepest woods.
Liam groaned as she licked him again and boosted her up, holding the globe of each ass cheek in his wide palms as his thick cock pushed inside her. She wrapped her legs around him, feeling the glorious strain of his muscles as he thrust into her again and again, pinning her to the tile wall.
The shampoo bottle and then the soap bounced off the shelf as he continued to fuck her, giving her every inch of him in hard strokes that had her moaning and shaking. Her fingernails dug into his shoulders as she tried to keep herself in the right spot. He made her feel so powerful and so weak all at the same time. She could feel her climax building, hovering just out of reach.
“Right there. Oh, God, Wolf, right there!”
She was panting and clinging to him, unable to control her own body as the unbearable tension inside her built.
