He slid his hands under my butt and lifted me, pressed my back against the wall, and slid inside of me in one fluid motion thanks to how wet I was.

He moaned and threw his head back.

We both breathed, “Yes.” Simultaneously.

He withdrew slowly before sliding back into me at the same maddening slowness.

“Nico,” I huffed.

His deep chuckle vibrated from his chest through mine. “Sorry, seems I’m in a bit of a teasing mood.”

“I’ve got to leave soon, remember?” I reminded him.

Soft lips caressed my neck as he increased his speed. “I remember. I also know that Leona will forgive you for being a little bit late.”

“You’re incorrigible.” My breathing hitched as he adjusted his angle and began hitting the perfect spot. “Yes!” An orgasm hit me faster than usual and my muscles tightened around him.

He sped up and began nipping his way along my neck and shoulders.

“Nico!” I cried out as another orgasm hit me.

He dropped me to my feet, spun me around, and pressed down on my upper back.

Understanding what he wanted, I leaned my chest down, braced my hands on the shower wall, and spread my feet to give him easier access.

Gripping my hips, he slid back into me with a happy groan. He used his new grip and angle to slam into me faster and harder.

Within a minute, another orgasm had me crying out his name and he joined me with his own release.

We stood together for a few seconds, panting and satisfied, before he pulled out. As soon as I straightened, he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me from behind. “You’re perfection personified.”

“Flirt,” I accused and turned my head to kiss him on the lips.

“Truth speaker,” he countered as he kissed me back.

We both began washing each other, something we enjoyed doing to deepen our bond.

“What color are you getting your nails done?” he asked as he scrubbed my hair.

“I’m thinking green,” I answered. “Dark green.”

“With a flower?”

He knew I always asked for flowers to be added to my toes when I got a pedicure.

“Of course.”

“Hurry up. We’re going to be late,” Thor called out.

“Why’s he so grumpy?” Nico asked.

“I think he and Leona had a fight and now he’s going to have to spend the day with us since he was assigned to guard me,” I explained.

“I could go with you instead,” Nico offered. “It’s been a while since I’ve had a pedicure. I’m probably beyond due.”

I kissed his cheek and smiled. “Thanks, but you have plans this afternoon with your brothers, remember?”

He sighed. “Actually, I’d forgotten.”
