“Where’s the spider?”

He sighed. “Here. Give me a second to look for it.” I leaned back and gave him space to stand up and climb out of the tub. He was completely drenched, but he grabbed a towel and tossed it to me instead. “Your nipples are distracting me.” He wasn’t looking at me as he spoke. I was more worried about the spider and faucet to say something back. He searched around the bathroom while water spewed from our broken faucet. “I think it got away, Emily.”

“Don’t say that.”

“Here, come on.” He reached for my hand and I took it as I stepped out of the tub, searching for the spider. “I’ll look again for it later. I gotta get this water turned off before we destroy the floor.”

I nodded. I hurried to my room as he disappeared to deal with the water. I shut my door and dropped my towel. “Shit,” I muttered. Half my cooch still needed to be shaved. There was no way I was going to get to shave the rest tonight.

“I turned off the water, but I won’t be able to go out and get a new faucet until tomorr—”

“Benjamin!” I screamed just as he opened my door. One arm had gone to my breasts and the other my privates. I didn’t think I covered myself in time. He saw my half-shaven vagina perfectly. “Why would you just walk in?”

“Sorry, I wasn’t thinking.”

He was still standing there. My bust size was impressive, so I knew my arms weren’t doing anything to cover them.

“Benjamin!”

He shut the door.

“Emily?” He called my name from the other side of the door.

“Don’t,” I warned him.

“Were you shaving when the spider came to visit?” There was amusement in his voice.

“How many times a day do I have to tell you not to be annoying?”

He simply chuckled.

1 month and 6 days prior…

“Who knew youcould install a faucet?” Emily muttered from the doorway. She wouldn’t come in closer. We still hadn’t found her spider friend. Despite the bruise on the back of my head, I was going to have to thank him. I saw so much Emily last night. Not enough, or long enough, but a guy couldn’t complain.

“There are a lot of things I can do that you don’t know about.”

She snorted. I finished putting on the new faucet and stood up in the tub and stretched my back. “You see that monster anywhere?” she whispered as she peeked into the bathroom.

I smirked. “He’s gone for now.” I stepped out of the tub. “You work today?”

She nodded. “Yeah, must be nice to be off on the weekends.”

“We’re open on Saturdays too,” I protested.

“Yeah, but you’re not working today.” She paused. “Look for the spider while you’re off today.”

I followed her into the living room. “Leave him alone. He’s probably harmless.”

“Harmless?” She turned on me. “He was on the tub staring at me when I first saw him. He was seconds from attacking.”

“He was probably just stealing a peek.”
