“Shhh.” She placed her fingers against his mouth. “Colt said you went out for doughnuts.”
He laughed at her comment. She was a sucker for Krispy Kremes. “Yep and the hot light was on.”
She groaned in pleasure as he grabbed her hand and the bag, dragging her to the kitchen. “Come on. We’ll eat and then I have an idea.”
“Ooh, I like your ideas,” she replied. “Give me a hint?”
“It involves you, me, jets, bubbles, and lots and lots of hot water.”
She pulled back on his hand, attempting to change his direction. “You know, it seems to me that those doughnuts may be a bit better cold.” With a sassy grin, she tugged him toward his bathroom.
Heath followed willingly. Truth be told, he’d eaten two doughnuts on the way home.
“I can’t tell you what this means to me,” he joked. “I’ve honestly never seen anything more important to you than a hot doughnut.”
She laughed at his jest, bending down to fill the Jacuzzi tub with water. “Yeah, well, you guys have never offered me a sweeter alternative.”
He kissed her, slowly untying her robe and slipping it off her shoulders. He was pleased to find her completely naked underneath.
“I think you’re the sweetest thing in this house, hands down.” The heat of their kisses mingled with the steam rising off the water. Both of them were so swept away with their shared touches that they nearly let the water overflow and had to open the drain to release some before they could climb in.
Giggling, she sank down into the tub as he turned on the jets. “Ah, this is heavenly.”
He joined her, pulling her onto his lap, facing him. “Now it’s heavenly.”
They continued to kiss and touch until Heath felt her rise up to take him inside. “Kylie,” he said, his hands gripping her hips to halt her movement.
“I’m on the Pill,” she said answering his unspoken concerns. “Colt and I?—”
She stopped and he knew that Colt had taken her without a condom earlier.
If he’d been a stronger man, he’d have gotten out of the Jacuzzi to grab the condom, well aware that decisions like this shouldn’t be made in the heat of the moment. But the fact was he couldn’t have moved away from her if his life had depended on it.
They all practiced safe sex and there wasn’t anything he wanted more than to be inside her with nothing in between.
“I want you, Kylie,” he whispered against her lips and he pulled her down on to his thick erection.
They moved slowly at first, but soon patience gave way to passion as their powerful thrusts stirred up the water and it began to crash in waves around them. They came together and as they drifted back to reality, Heath pulled her head down to rest on his shoulder—desperate to keep her close to him.
Fear of the unknown crept into his mind and he worried that this moment alone with her would be the last.
“Hey,” she cried and Heath released his crushing grip on her.
“Sorry,” he said with a rueful grin.
“Is something wrong?”
Heath started to say the words that were fighting for release, but he couldn’t get them out. The risks suddenly felt too great and in the end, he lost the nerve and instead made a joke. “Sunshine, I know you have an aversion to cleaning bathrooms, but I think we’re going to have to get a mop in here. There’s more water on the floor than in the tub.”
She giggled and snuggled closer. “This is nice.”
“Better than nice,” he agreed.
“I keep thinking it should feel strange, but it doesn’t.”
He considered her comment. After years of “just friends” status, he was also surprised by how natural it felt to hold her in his arms. “We’ve always been close,” he teased, pulling her body flush against his. “Now we’re just closer.”
“Mmmm,” she agreed, dragging her lips across his throat. “I like being closer.”
