She held her arms up to him. “I wasn’t going to argue about it.”

Even with both of them naked and soaking wet, she trusted him completely to lift her out of the tub and carry her to the shower. When he stepped inside, he raised his eyebrows at her.

“I think I might have had more enthusiasm than common sense.”

“I don’t think so.”

“No? I don’t want you to try to stand and …”

“We can use the wall.”

He grinned. “We can.” He backed her against it, and all she could do was cling to him as he claimed her mouth in one of his deep, intoxicating kisses.

She wrapped her good leg around his waist, and he hooked his arms behind her thighs, holding her open to receive him. His hot, hard head pushed at her entrance, and he lifted her slightly before lowering her onto him.

“Fuck yeah,” he breathed when he was buried to the hilt inside her.

She tightened her arms around him. “Yes, please. I don’t think I can do much from here but …”

“That’s alright, darlin’. I’ve got this,” he said as he pulled back and then slowly eased in again.

“Not like that, you don’t. I need more, harder, faster.”

His eyes seemed to smolder when they met hers. “You sure?”

“Yes!” she gasped as he drove deep and hard. “Oh god, Trav! Yes!”

He set up a pounding rhythm, filling her, stretching her. The rest of the world faded away. Her awareness narrowed down until all she could feel was the place where they joined and the way he felt.

“I’m not going to last,” he grunted.

“Come for me,” she gasped. “I … I … Trav!”

Every nerve ending in her body felt like it went off like a firework when he tensed and drove harder two, three more times. Then they were flying away together, panting and gasping in each other’s arms as their bodies became one.

When they finally regained their senses, he pressed a kiss to her lips. “Damn!”

She nodded; words were beyond her.

He held her tight with one arm while he turned off the water with his other hand.

“Do you want to grab some towels on the way past? I need to get us to the bed before my knees give out.”

She did as he asked and managed to throw a towel onto the bed before he sat down on it.

“Are you okay?” she asked.

He nodded happily. “Best I’ve ever been. You?”

“The same.”

He took the other towel from her and soon had them set up in bed, one towel under them and another over them.

As they lay back, she rested her head on his shoulder, and he kissed her temple. “I’ll run you another bath in a little while, darlin’. I want to cuddle you for a little while first. That okay?”

She tightened her arm around his waist. “It’s so much more than okay. There’s nowhere else in the world I want to be right now. Just here, in your arms.”

He winked at her. “In our bed, in our home.”
