It felt like he was everywhere at the same time. His hand working between my thighs, the other cupping my breast and manipulating my nipple, sending lightning bolts of desire in every direction. Then there was his hard length, rubbing across my forbidden hole with every driving thrust. He paired his movements, so that he was working every aspect of my body, all while chasing his need.

It was too much.

Too fast.

Too good.

My vision darkened, and I pressed harder against him, working my hips as he fingered me and lifted me up onto my toes with his raw strength and powerful thrusts. I was his puppet, and he the puppeteer, pulling pleasure from my body as easily as pulling strings.

“Come, Maia,” he demanded, his massive form shaking with his own need for release as he removed his fingers and pinched my clit.

My body exploded, straining against his hold, the orgasm so intense it was as though I needed to get away, but he held me tightly, plunging his fingers back inside. My internal muscles clamped around them and didn’t let go while I felt him cling to me, his mouth biting down on the ball of my shoulder to hold back his moan as he too found his release. Warm liquid pelted my lower back as he breathed roughly against my skin.

The water had cooled significantly as we came down. He eased his fingers out, and I mewled at the pinch of discomfort.

“You okay?” He murmured between placing soft kisses along my shoulders and the back of my neck.

I turned around and looped my arms around his neck, then grinned. “I’m amazing, though now I feel like I need another nap.”

He chuckled and pulled me into a hug. “After shopping, yeah?”

“Yeah. I do want to get to know Emily better.”

“I want that too. Let’s finish showering and get ready. Emily’s probably dying to leave.” He laughed.

“Hey, it was you that chose to get in the shower with me. If we’re late, it’s your fault.”

“Guilty as fuck, but I don’t regret a second of it.” He reached for my body wash and soaped up the rest of his body.

“You’re going to smell like me,” I warned.

“I know.” He smiled with a devilish smirk. “I like having your scent all over me. It will remind me of this moment all day when I have to lug around a bunch of shopping bags.”

I chuckled and rinsed off, then slid past him. “Well, last one ready has to answer to the teenager.” I opened the door and wrapped a towel around my body.

“Dammit!” he cursed, humor in his tone. “I’ll get you for that one!”

“I’d like to see you try,” I called out and left the steamy bathroom to get dressed.

“Oh my God, Maia! This will look sooooooo good on you!” Emily thrust a purple dress on a hanger toward me. It was way too fancy for my tastes, but I didn’t want to hurt her feelings.

“It is cute, but maybe a bit too young and trendy for me?”

Emily spun around, her ponytail flying to the side as she mock-glared. “Aren’t you, like, twenty?”

“Actually, my birthday is in a couple days, and I’ll be twenty-four.”

Her mouth dropped open. “Your birthday is in a couple days! We have to celebrate it! Dad! Did you know that Maia’s birthday is in two days?”

Rhodes’ gaze went from his daughter to me and narrowed skeptically. “Is it now? I do believe that bit of information had been kept from me.”

I shook my head. “Remember, I told you I had a birthday coming.”

“You didn’t say it was this close,” he grumbled.

I shrugged. “Well, it is.”
