And in that moment, I knew…

He was either going to be the best thing or the worst thing that had ever happened to me.

CHAPTERFIFTEEN

DECLAN

Lying in bed with Giana felt surreal. We had spent the greater part of the afternoon wrapped up in one another. I slowly got up, my hand finding hers before dragging her to her feet. Giana followed me into the bathroom and hovered behind me as I turned the water on in the shower. It was hot within an instant. Giana’s hand was still in mine and I pulled her inside the glass shower with me.

Grabbing her shoulders, I turned her so her back was to the water, and she took a few steps back. I watched as her eyelids fluttered shut. Her head was tilted so her face was pointed toward the ceiling. I was in complete awe of her. Struck by her beauty. Water penetrated her hair, soaking it as it stretched down the length of her spine, resting just above her ass.

I could stare at her for the rest of eternity and never grow tired of looking at her.

There was a bottle of shampoo sitting on the built-in shelves in the stone walls. I picked it up and squirted some into my hand before turning Giana around to face the opposite direction. My fingers plunged through her hair, massaging her scalp with the shampoo. She leaned her head into my touch, a small moan escaping her lips as I worked my fingertips against her.

I worked it until the lather was rolling down my forearms. Spinning her back around, I washed the shampoo from her hair. She pressed her hands against my chest as she moved out of the water and we traded places. Her hands trailed across my skin. My cock was already hard, but I ignored it as she pulled me back from the stream and was mimicking my actions, massaging shampoo against my scalp.

It was intimate and sensual. The water beat down upon the two of us as we took turns scrubbing one another. After cleaning our hair, I ran a fresh washcloth across every inch of her skin, washing away the ocean and our mess. She did the same, washing my body for me before we both rinsed off.

As I stood under the stream of water, feeling it pelt my back, I reached for her, pulling her naked body flush against mine. Her flesh was wet and slick from the shower. Pushing my hand underneath her hair, I gripped the back of her neck while backing her against the stone wall. My lips found hers in an instant. She kissed me back with fervent need. My tongue plunged inside her mouth, sliding against hers as my other hand gripped her hip.

Giana’s arms were around my torso, her nails digging into my back as we took turns stealing the air from one another’s lungs. It wasn’t long before my hands were gripping the backs of her thighs and I was lifting her into the air. Pressing her against the wall, her hands moved to my shoulders and her legs wrapped around my waist.

Ever so gently, I lowered her down onto me as I sank my cock deep inside her. A breathy moan escaped her as she breathed against my mouth. I swallowed her sounds, my tongue tangling with hers as I held her against the wall. Shifting my hips, I began to piston them, sliding myself in and out of her in calculated, fluid movements.

I would never be able to get enough of this woman.

It wasn’t long before I was pounding into her with such force, her teeth were clashing against mine. Not once did either of us come up for air. Our lips were fused to one another’s, our sounds melting together as I fucked her harder and harder.

The warmth built inside me as her pussy tightened around the length of my cock. I could feel her orgasm building and as it finally erupted, she pulled me into the abyss of ecstasy with her. She started to come first, but that was what pushed me over the edge. That was what had me coming deep inside her pussy, filling her with my cum a second time.

Giana cried out and I swallowed the sound as I pumped into her once more. Her body was shaking from pleasure and I held her tightly as our bodies rode out the euphoric waves. I broke apart from her and her forehead collapsed against my shoulder as I wrapped my arms around her. Her chest rose and fell in rapid succession, her shallow breaths grazing across my skin.

She slowly lifted her head, her eyes dazed and glossy as she stared down at me with a smile pulling on her lips. It was sleepy and filled with nothing but satisfaction.

“That was unexpected.”She moved her lips around the words without making a sound.

My eyes never once left hers as I lowered her feet back onto the shower floor. “I couldn’t help myself.” I winked at her. “I’m not responsible for how I react to you being in such close proximity.”

She blinked, rolling her eyes, while she bit back a smile.“You’re something else.”

And you’re everything.

I responded with another wink before the two of us washed up again and slipped out of the shower to dry off. I handed her two towels and we both stepped out of the bathroom and into my bedroom. She moved over to the bed, a frown finding its way onto her lips as she lifted her bikini up. It was the only thing she had with her.

Turning my back to her, I grabbed one of my t-shirts and basketball shorts. She gave me a quizzical look as I held them out to her.

“You need something to wear,” I told her with a shrug. “Just wear these until I take you home.”

She stared at me for a moment, her expression unreadable. I wanted inside her mind. I wanted her thoughts for myself. She took the clothes from me.“Thank you,”she signed to me while mouthing the words.

My lips parted as I was about to respond, when I heard sound coming from another room in the house. I glanced over at the alarm clock on my nightstand. The time had gotten away from the two of us. For her own privacy and to avoid any awkwardness, I was going to get her home before my brother was home from work.

Too late.

She quickly dressed and I did the same. Our outfits were almost the same and I couldn’t help the laugh that bubbled from my chest. Giana couldn’t hear the sound, but she saw it and cut her eyes at me while shaking her head.

I stepped closer to her. "You look beautiful, princess.” I wrapped my hand around the back of her head, pulling her close as I pressed my lips to her forehead. I moved away, looking back down at her again. “Stay for dinner?”
