“Ahh!”She plastered the curtain over her body with one arm and wielded a shampoo bottle with the other, as if that’d stop anyone with bad intentions, and right now he definitely qualified. “You scared the crap out of me.”
“The door was unlocked. I called your name, but…” He swallowed, his words gone.
The curtain didn’t justhintat her profile anymore. He could see nearly every detail.
He closed the distance between them, took her head in his hands, and kissed her.
He’d left his shoes at the door, and while he’d wanted to add his dirty clothes to her pile, he’d worried she was upset about the restaurant thing, and he hadn’t wanted to be too presumptuous.
Her tongue rolled over his, and then he presumed the hell out of the situation. He tugged off his clothes as fast as he could and stepped into the shower with her.
“You’re lucky I didn’t maim you,” she said.
“With the shampoo bottle?”
“Don’t say it like I can’t pull it off, or I’ll have to show you how dangerous I can be with it.”
“This whole threat-based foreplay thing you do?” He took the bottle from her fingers and set it aside. “I’m totally into it.”
He backed her up against the wall, groaning at the amazing way her skin slipped against his.
Earlier tonight in the field had merely been a prelude, and as promised, he planned to lavish extra attention on her breasts.
He dipped his head and flicked one of her nipples with his tongue.
“Tell me how you like it, Addison.”
A whimper escaped her as he sucked her breast into his mouth, and her fingers drove into his hair. “A little rougher,” she panted, and he lightly scraped his teeth over the sensitive skin. Goose bumps traveled across her body, and she gripped his hair in her fist. “Ohmigosh, yes. Just like that.”
He dragged his lips to the other breast and repeated the move, holding her to him as she shuddered and writhed against him. Then he pressed a kiss to her rib cage, her belly button, lower…
He knelt in front of her and worshipped her with his tongue, teasing her and letting her ride right along the edge of her orgasm.
“Tucker…” she whispered, a pleading note in her voice that had him increasing the speed and pressure until she came undone. Her cries of pleasure bounced off the tile and settled deep inside him, and he wanted to hold on to this perfect moment.
She slumped back against the wet wall, her eyelids half closed as she worked to catch her breath. Then she mumbled something about having condoms in her medicine cabinet, and if he ended up maimed tonight, it’d be from jumping out to grab them so quickly that he slipped and injured himself.
A couple of seconds later, he was back under the warm spray of water with her. Then their bodies were gliding together again, things completely in sync between them now that nothing else was in the way.
The future didn’t seem so scary anymore. He didn’t need to know exactly how or when he’d figure his life out, as long as Addie would be there.
“Addie, I…” It was too fast. He couldn’t say the thought that popped into his head.
So he kissed her instead, doing his best to show her how much he cared about her that way.
As they circled higher and higher, he tethered her to him, dragging out the euphoric high as long as possible.
And when they tumbled over the edge together, he held tight to her, letting her know that no matter what happened, he’d always be there to catch her.
Chapter Twenty-Six
Tucker’s eyes were drifting closed when Addie lifted her head off his chest and said, “We need to talk.”
Usually those words would strike fear in his heart, but this wasn’t one of those relationships where surprises came out of the woodwork. This was Addie.
He sat up against her headboard so he could wake himself enough to focus. Her bed was definitely more comfortable than his, and he planned on taking advantage of all the room inside her full shower again and again.
“What’s up?” he asked. “Is it about telling the guys? We can, but I’m thinking maybe we should wait till after the wedding. Just to keep the drama as low as possible, because you know they’ll all have an opinion about it.”
