Page 94 of Secrets We Fight
We broke apart, and I walked to my bathroom and stripped off my clothes. After turning on the shower, I stood in front of the mirror and looked at the small line that was starting to scar above my pec. The doctors had done an excellent job of sewing me back up and only had to open me enough to pull out the bullet. It was crazy something so small had almost killed me.
It only took a minute for the water to heat, and after I stepped inside, I heard Rhett come in and remove his clothes. With one arm braced against the cool, tiled wall, I rested my head against it, letting the warm water wash over me.
“Are you okay?” Rhett asked as he stepped inside.
“Yeah,” I replied, not moving my head. “Would you mind washing my back?”
He squirted my soap into his hand and then started to wash my back. Even though his touch was gentle, it stirred things inside of me. Maybe it was the talk a few minutes before about sex, but at that moment, I needed to feel his hand on more than my back.
Reaching behind me, I grabbed his wrist as it moved lower and pulled his hand to my front.
“Fallon,” he whispered, his voice laced with desire and caution.
“Make me come,” I urged, guiding his hand to my growing erection.
Rhett hesitated for a moment but then moved his fist with an expert touch. I couldn’t help but groan as my body responded eagerly. It had been two long weeks with no form of release, and I hadn’t even felt the need to take care of myself. I knew it wouldn’t be long before I was left weak in the knees.
He positioned his free hand against the wall beside my head, while his lips planted soft kisses across my shoulders. His soapy palm glided effortlessly as it worked me closer to the edge.
“Fuck,” I hissed, my breath hitching. “I’ve missed this.”
I turned my head, keeping it propped on my arm, and he stepped closer, his own arousal pressing into my ass cheek. I longed for him to slide inside me, but I knew it was too soon. If I couldn’t manage more than ten minutes on a treadmill, how could I handle making love to him?
His lips moved along my wet skin, and the slippery hand jerked me at an increasing tempo, pushing me closer to coming apart.
“God,” I groaned. “Don’t stop.”
Leaning forward, he took my mouth in a passionate kiss, and it didn’t take long for my body to tense and the pleasure to intensify until I released my pent-up load against the shower tiles and into his skillful hand.
“Better?” he asked.
I straightened, no longer needing the support of the wall, and then dropped to my knees. “Yeah.”
“Fallon,” he warned, but I didn’t respond. I might not have been ready for vigorous sex yet, but my smart mouth was still useful.
Rhett leaned against the shower wall where I had been standing, but now facing me.
Without hesitation, I took him into my mouth, teasing the tip before engulfing his shaft. His hands pressed flat against the wall, his hips shifting slightly, as I devoured him until he was shooting down my throat.

RHETT
Fallon layon his side in bed while he watched me pack my bag. “You should have Poppy stay here tonight.”
I turned to look at him. “What?”
He grinned. “You’ve basically been living here for the last two months. Don’t you think it’s time we make things official?”
He wasn’t wrong about me practically moving in. The other agents had started staying in the hall next to his front door, which made it feel as though we were in a little bubble just for us. The only time I left his place was when I had Poppy. Sometimes the three of us would spend the day together, but Poppy and I always headed back to my apartment alone at night. I hadn’t wanted to impose by forcing him to make a space for my daughter in his condo if he wasn’t ready for that step in our relationship.
“Official? Are you saying you want us to live together?”
“Well, I thought we already were, but if you need me to give you a formal invite, I can.” He winked.
I set my bag on the floor and walked over to him, kneeling next to the bed. “I would love to live with you, as long as you’re sure.”
He answered with a passionate kiss, and there was no doubt left in my mind he wanted me to move in. That he wanted the same future I could so clearly see for us.
