“No.” I pull back the curtain to one of the most gorgeous sights. Suds drip down his chiseled chest, over his abs, and down his Adonis belt where his penis grows harder by the second. “I was thinking I could join you?” My heart beats rapidly with the need to touch him.

“Always.” He offers his hand to help me in. I let the towel around me fall to the floor.

As soon as I’m fully inside the shower, I lean forward to wrap my arms around his shoulders, but he gently nudges me back. “Not yet. I want to savor this moment.” His eyes scan me from head to toe and back again. The way he takes me in is ravenous.

“Like what you see?” I’ve never felt so beautiful, so powerful.

“You’re perfect.” He pulls me in by my waist and crashes his lips to mine. The feel of his hard build against me is addicting. I let him explore every inch of my body as my hands roam freely over everywhere I’ve wanted to touch him but have denied myself. We’re messy and chaotic, almost as if we’re making up for lost time. I don’t want this moment to end, but the water temperature of the shower starts to turn frigid.

“I’ve taken too many cold showers lately.” Alex reluctantly pulls back, turns off the shower, and hands me a towel.

“I’m not ready for this to end.” I pant, realizing I haven’t stopped to breathe much. He also grabs a towel and makes quick work of drying himself.

“I didn’t say this had to end, baby girl.” He flashes his dimples, and I brace myself at the mischievous look. In one smooth swoop, he lifts me up over his shoulder and carries me fireman style to the bed. “We just need to relocate to somewhere warmer, that’s all.”

Pulling back the comforter, I snuggle into the welcomed warmth of the bed while Alex lies down beside me. “Now, where were we?” I climb on top of him.

“Well, before the shower rudely interrupted us, I believe we were doing something like this.” His hands glide up the back of my thighs, and I let out a moan when he teases my entrance.

“I don’t think I can take this much longer.” My hand roams down his solid chest. I don’t know how long we spent in the shower, but I’m ready to burst. “I need more.”

“Tell me what you want, baby girl.” He presses a finger inside me. It helps relieve some pressure, but not all of it.

“You.” I push back further on his hand. “I need all of you.”

“If you’re ready and that’s what you want…” His voice trails off. “Crap! I forgot a condom.” He jumps off the bed and starts digging through his suitcase.

“Umm.” I bite down on my bottom lip. “I’m on the pill.”

He freezes and quirks up an eyebrow.

“Just to regulate my period. I haven’t been with anyone in…well…in a really long time. I’m clean. If you are too and comfortable with everything…”

“Since I’ve met you, I’ve been with no one.” He saunters back over to me, and I welcome the return of his body next to mine. His arms cage me in, and he presses his lips to my bare shoulder. “This would be a first for me. I’m clean too and I’ve always used a condom. I do like the idea of nothing between us.” He traces more kisses from my shoulder down my side. “You sure about this?”

“Mm-hmm.” I hum as I wrap my hand around his hard length and guide him inside me. “You already have my heart. Now I want you to have my body.”

Alex

My phone pings with a message from our Uber driver letting me know that he’s about ten minutes away from our hotel. I’m glad I scheduled it earlier in the day because I’m sure I wouldn’t have remembered to do it later considering the last few hours of pure, unadulterated bliss Gabby and I have been indulging in.

Yesterday, Gabby and I took our love to an even higher level. I have no doubt that letting her lead the way with the physical aspect of our relationship contributed to the magical night we shared. She was more than ready and surprisingly not shy. We spent the few hours we had exploring each other’s desires. I can’t wait to get home so we can continue to learn more.

“Hey, sleepyhead,” I whisper in her ear. “We need to get our stuff and go downstairs. Our ride will be here soon.”

“I don’t want to go.” She rolls over and nuzzles into my chest. “Can’t we just stay here and live on love? I don’t want this to end.”

“We could.” I start to play with her hair. “But love doesn’t pay the bills, and with the prices out here, we’d be broke in like a week.”

“Hmph. Why are you acting all responsible?” She sits up and throws the comforter off her. Even grumpy, she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.

“Because someone has got to, and clearly, you’re coming down from a high, so you’re not thinking rationally.” I reluctantly get out of bed and grab my clothes from the suitcase.

“I’m not coming down from a high.” She looks confused but starts to get dressed.

“I mean a pleasure high—a sex high. Last night, I satisfied all your wants and needs. Naturally, I’ve worn you out.” I place my hand over my heart. “It took a lot out of me too, but I’d sacrifice my body all over again just to hear you moan in pleasure and scream my name.”
