I opened my mouth to tell him to rip off the underwear and suck my cock. But at the last minute, something different came out.
“Take a shower with me.”
He looked surprised. “What?”
Ethan was gorgeous on his knees. No doubt, he’d also expected a blow job request. But now that I’d had the thought, I couldn’t shake it. I wanted Ethan naked with me. Wanted to feel him, wet and slippery.
“Take off my underwear, then join me in the shower. I want us to be naked together.”
Ethan made a quiet noise of need. Then, without even another moment of teasing, he yanked down my boxer briefs, and my cock sprang free.
I groaned. “Thank fuck.”
Ethan leaned in, kissing the tip, before rising to his feet. “Okay. Shower it is. But before we do that…”
I suppressed the urge to tear my hair out in frustration. My body trembled with the urge to haul him against me and take what I wanted.
“What is it?” I asked, as patiently as I could while standing naked and hard and so fucking desperate.
Ethan’s gaze slowly trailed over my body, and my skin tingled under his perusal. He lingered more on my chest and my thighs, but that made sense. He’d seen my cock before. It was the whole, not the parts, he was appreciating now.
Color rose up his neck and into his cheeks. “I’m not as sexy as you.”
“Ethan—” I started.
“This isn’t about low self-esteem or anything,” he said quickly, though I wasn’t sure I believed him. “It’s just facts. I’m not athletic. I don’t have this kind of muscle tone.”
I did reach for him then. I pulled him against me, shuddering as his sweats and T-shirt brushed my naked flesh. I kissed his mouth slowly, thoroughly, until he was clinging to me. Then I said, gently, “You’re beautiful too.”
He started to shake his head and I kissed him more insistently. “Yes,” I said again. “You’re enough. Say it for me.”
“I’m enough,” he mumbled.
“Again, and louder.”
He huffed and glanced up at me. “I’m enough,” he said, sounding irritated but more confident. It would do.
I smiled. “Better. Now get your sexy body in the shower, and I’ll show you just how much I like it.”
He gave a quiet laugh. “Okay, have it your way.”
“I always do,” I said with a playful wink.

ETHAN
My nerves returned as I stripped off in the bathroom. I did it quickly, furtively, while Rhett turned on and adjusted the shower spray. Unlike him, I wasn’t sure I could handle a lot of scrutiny. The way he’d allowed me to look and touch as I undressed him took a lot of confidence. He was so comfortable in his own skin, but then why wouldn’t he be? Every inch of him was stunning.
Including the hard, round ass I couldn’t keep my eyes off as he bent over the faucet knobs.
“There.” He straightened to push back the shower curtain and glanced over his shoulder. “Nice and warm, but not too hot.”
I crossed my arms over my narrow chest self-consciously, resisting the urge to curl into a ball or grab a towel to hide my nakedness. I knew my cock was decent, and Rhett had seen it before anyway. It was everything else I was less confident in. But Rhett only smiled as his gaze slid over me. He held out his hand wordlessly.
I took it, letting him draw me into the shower with him.
The spray washed over us like warm rain, making everything wet and slick. Rhett pulled me close, and that was easier. Feeling our naked bodies brush together reminded me of how turned on I’d been for the past twenty minutes. Rhett had been so freaking sexy all stretched out on the wall. I couldn’t believe I’d told him to keep his arms up, or that I’d touched him in all the ways I had.
