“The other room.”
“Don’t go. Stay, please?” She sat up and put the lamp on at the side of the bed. “I’d really like you to stay, Marls.” My belly flipped at the abbreviation of my name. I wasn’t sure if I’d heard her use it before, and I liked it, almost as much as Rock Star, in fact.
We’d both been a bit quiet since our little fallout yesterday, but she’d barely left my side and had been very touchy feely when she’d been near. I’ve no idea what it meant. I was hoping that she was finally ‘getting’ that I liked her for her. I’d held back,sorta, on all the flirty stuff that came so naturel to me and just tried to keep things on asortaplatonic level.
“Ash, if I stay ... I can’t. I’m not sure that...” For fuck’s sake, Layton, just tell her if you stay, you’ll likely bang her brains out.
“Rock Star, do I have to spell it out to you? I want you to stay. I know what that means, and the answer isstillthat I want you to stay.”
My mouth went dry, to the point where my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth and my lips to my teeth.
She climbs out of bed and headed towards the bathroom. I grabbed her hand as she passed me. “Where you going?”
“I want a quick shower and to clean my teeth. My breath smells like Brussel sprouts.”
“I like Brussel sprouts.” It was possibly the most pathetic thing I’d ever said in my life, like, ever.
“Yeah, on your dinner, maybe, but do you really wanna snog one?”
I didn’t answer her question, mainly because I’d say something that would make me sound like even more of a pussy, or a complete twat, so I let go of her hand and let her carry on into the bathroom. I went and collected my toothbrush and then came back, unsure of what to do next.
Me,unsure?That was a fucking joke, but that was what she did to me.
I took off my clothes and stepped into the shower with her. She had her back to me, face tilted upwards, letting the water bounce off her chin and down her chest. Her hair was piled up in one of those sexy birds nest things. I leaned in and kissed the curve of her neck and slid my arms around her from behind. She stilled for a split second, and then pressed her back into my front.
“You are so fucking gorgeous,” I told her.
We had the showers designed with a built-in sound system and‘Mystify’by INXS was playing.
Leaving one hand on her belly, I slid the other up and cupped one of her tits. It fit my hand perfectly. Squeezing her nipple, I dragged my teeth up her neck and over her ear.
“Baby, we need to get washed and get out of here before I embarrass myself and come before you even touch me,” I whispered.
She shuddered, fucking shuddered, and goose bumps spread across her skin. I bent my knees slightly and grinded my hips into hers.
She bended over to get the shower gel and I nearly came all over arse.
“Fuck me, Ash, seriously. Don’t be bending over near me like that, babe, else this’ll be over before it even gets started.”
She turned to face me and rolled her eyes. The water from the shower head beat down between us. I slipped my arms around her hips, gripped onto her arse cheeks and pulled her towards me.
“I want to climb inside that head of yours and carve into your brain how fucking perfect you are so that you’ll finally believe what I’m saying to you.” I hate that she doubts that I’m telling the truth.
“It’s just...” She tilted her head to the side before shrugging her shoulders, then looked down at my chest. Her tits were squashed up against my bare chest, but I’d not even been aware of that fact because I was too busy worrying about what she was thinking.
“Look at me, Ash.” I ordered. I expected a big ‘fuck you,’ but instead, she brought her eyes up to meet mine.
“Trust me when I say this, baby. You are perfect.” She slowly nodded her head.
“If I trust you, Marley, please promise that you won’t let me down?” she whispered. Her voice was still a little bit croaky, but I could hear the plea, the desperation in her words regardless, and then I did something I should never have done.
“You can trust me, Ash. I’ll never let you down.”
We kissed under the flow of the water before slowly washing each other’s bodies. After turning off the shower and cleaning our teeth, we crawled into bed.
I spent the longest time I’d ever spent, exploring and worshiping a woman’s body. I kissed, licked, sucked, and bit my way from the tips of her toes to the top of her head.
When my mouth got back down to the top of her thighs, I lifted her knees and pushed her legs as wide apart as I could. She was spread bare for me. I ran my fingertips over the small patch of fair hair that sat above her perfect, perfect pussy.
