“Oh, is this what I’m doing?” Cody chuckled, amused at the little flash of temper. “I’d say domestic goddess, more like.”

“Huh. Better.” Though Kim sounded far from impressed.

“Anyway, it was a compliment, you know?” Cody went on, enjoying teasing her.

“Then leave the word ‘domestic’ out of it. All I did was pull lasagna out of the freezer and stick it in the oven with the bread. No big deal.” Kim shrugged.

“Look at you, all sulky,” Cody laughed.

“Well, just saying. I didn’t do much.”

“Still, the lasagna did not get in the freezer by accident. You have a problem accepting compliments from your girlfriend?”

“No. Does the girlfriend know when to quit?”

“Not yet.” Cody grinned. “You know I’m right.”

With an ironic roll of the eyes, Kim capitulated. “Alright, Officer ‘I-Have-To-Have-The-Last-Word’. I guess I’d be okay being called a goddess from time to time.”

“It’s Detective.And you do look like one to me, Ms. Reed.”

“In this case, and since you were good and ate up all your food…” Kim stood up with a sultry smile. “You can do your job in the shower.”

Cody followed instantly as if drawn to her by a magnetic string.

“What job?” she asked.

Kim stopped long enough on her way to deliver a scorching glance over her shoulder.

“Worshipping me, of course. As your goddess.”

That look, so unapologetically sexual, the alluring flush of color across her cheeks, and her words certainly sent a flurry of tingles straight down between Cody’s legs. Any fatigue she may have felt after the long day, or frustration at her seeming lack of quicker progress, vanished like a puff of smoke. And she sure got her wish in the shower, as Kim playfully instructed her to get to work.

“Wash me. Just use your hands.”

Cody grabbed the soap and got to work, gliding her hands over hot, smooth, chocolate skin. She took her time and enjoyed eliciting the odd shiver of pleasure, a smile, and an alluring sparkle in her lover’s dark eyes.

“I see you take your work to heart, Detective.”

“Your pleasure is my only focus, my queen.”

Kim chuckled low and deep in her throat. “Mm… Nice.”

She massaged her fingers into her wet hair and dispensed a tender, tantalizing kiss. Cody could feel a slight vibration under her own fingers, Kim’s slow build-up of arousal. So beautiful! She prompted another kiss, swiftly granted, and lost herself in the sublime sensation of being touched and caressed in return. Kim lingered over her breasts, cupping each one in the palm of her hands, then squeezing gently and rolling her nipples. Her eyes twinkled again with her next gentle command.

“On your knees, darling.”

Jesus Christ!Cody sank between her thighs with a grateful heart. To think she’d come to believe that life without this kind of relationship would be okay… Of course, she had been scared to allow herself to love again. But when Kim walked into her life, she never stood a chance. Love struck again, slicing through the fear as cleanly and easily as a blade through the water. There wasnever any real choice… And yes, Cody was grateful. Immensely so.

“I want you to kiss me slow.” Kim was not done dispensing instructions. “Right there, yes. Suckle me gently.”

Cody discovered that she enjoyed being told what to do and how to pleasure her partner exactly in the way she preferred. Kim's direct and descriptive manner was a major turn-on, and she was definitely good at it.

“Kiss my clitoris. Use the tip of your tongue. Good girl.”

Cody shocked herself at how the last two words made her clench and shiver. Kim noticed.

“Did you like that?” she purred.
