“What? Why?”

She stepped back and crossed her arms over her bare stomach. “Come on, Gonz, please,” she pleaded.

“Please what?” He watched her closely, trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

“I just…” She flicked a wrist at her body.

When she wouldn’t make eye contact with him, he pushed his finger against her chin to force her to look up. “You just what?”

“Please.” Bailey closed her eyes. “God, this is embarrassing.”

“Talk to me, Bay.”

“I just…I don’t look good naked.”

This again? They’d been having sex for weeks. He thought they were over all this. “I’ve licked every inch of your body. I’m pretty sure I know what you look like naked.”

She shifted uncomfortably on her heels. “Yeah, but there’s bedroom naked and there’s shower with all the lights on naked.”

“What?” Where they were was irrelevant. Naked was naked, and Bailey naked was always a good thing.

She let out an exasperated huff. “You know what I mean.”

Unfortunately, he did. While he loved her body. She clearly still didn’t. Bending his knees, he squatted so they were eye level. “Bay, trust me, you have nothing to worry about. I love the way you look.” He ran his hand down her hip and cupped her ass. “And now that I’ve started thinking about fucking you in the shower, I can’t imagine anything better.”

She snorted. “Yeah right.”

He leaned back and looked her in the eye. “I’m serious. I’ve seen you in the hot tub, so I know how good you look wet. It’ll look even better when I can see all of you.”

She chewed her bottom lip and dropped her eyes. “What if you don’t like it?”

“Bay, there is not a fucking thing about your body I don’t like. Light, dark, I know what your body looks like. You turn me on more than anyone I’ve ever been with because it’s you.”

“But you’ll be able to see better in the shower.”

“I know, and it’s going to be fucking great.” Knowing how much she liked it when he talked dirty to her, he trailed his finger over the curve of her breast. “I’ll be able to see the way your skin gets those little goosebumps when I blow against your nipple, and how it pulls up tight and gets hard.”

He crouched further and kissed the scar on her stomach. She tensed briefly, then relaxed when he ran his tongue around her belly button. Trailing his hands down her hips, he cupped her ass and pulled her toward him. He exhaled hard against her mound, hoping the heat of his breath would get through her leggings. When she shivered, he grinned.

Bingo. He teased his finger up her inner thigh and nudged her legs apart, then opened his mouth over her clit, and pressed his tongue firmly against her through her pants. Bailey’s head dropped back against the door. “I’ll be able to see how your clit likes to tease me by poking its head out and then when I’ve really got you turned on how it stays out, just begging me to suck it.”

Bailey shifted her weight and made a little mewing noise. God, she was so fucking sexy. How could she doubt for one second how beautiful she was? He flicked his tongue against her core, and she groaned in frustration.

Kneeling, he looked up at her. “Shower with me, Bay. Let me show you how fucking sexy I think you look.”

She watched him for several seconds, took a breath, then nodded.

God, she blew him away. He knew how hard this was for her. The way she trusted him was humbling. “Yeah?”

“Don’t hurt me, Gonz,” she whispered.

He stood up and placed a kiss against her lips. “Never.” He hooked his hand on the edge of her leggings and pushed it down her thighs. “I’m gonna fuck you so good, you’ll never doubt how fucking sexy you are ever again.” Kneeling, he pulled her right foot from the pants.

Bailey snorted. “Good luck.”

“Is that a challenge?” He raised his eyebrow as he picked up her left foot to pull her pants the rest of the way off her body.

She smirked at him. “Take it however you want to.”
