I giggled, looking back at him without standing back up. “You said you wanted to watch, so I may as well give you a show.”

“A show, hmm?” He slid onto the counter, comfortably dropping his hands in his lap and tilting his head to the side. “Please do.”

Stepping into the shower, the water was hot against my lightly sunburnt skin, and I practically heard Aunt June’s voice in my head.Did you put on enough sunscreen?I would never actually put on enough, no matter how many times I learned the lesson the hard way.

I followed the trail of water down my body with my hands, pinching my nipples and moaning. When I tilted my head back into the water, I looked to the side and locked my gaze on Auston. He bounced his eyes from my face to my fingers. I let out a satisfied sigh.

My hands shook when I dragged them down my stomach to the crease of my hips, but he didn’t look away. He continued to follow my fingers when I traced them over my skin to the crest between my thighs. I whimpered when I circled my finger around my clit, slowly creating a rhythm with my hips.

Auston watched from the sink, gliding his hands along his cock. I swallowed when he went over each of his piercings, and when he tilted his head back, I moaned. “Auston!”

“Fuck, kitten. I’m not even touching you and you’re moaning my name.” His movements picked up, a steady caress up and down his cock, and I licked my lips.

As I moved my fingers faster, swirling around my clit, he moved his hand quicker, and the mixed sound of our breathing echoed. He lifted his hips from the counter, thrusting into his hand as I quickly neared the edge. When I locked my knees and leaned against the wall, the cold tile against my skin sent a shockwave through me. I gasped.

From the sink, Auston groaned. “You’re beautiful like this. Fucking perfect.”

His words and the husky sound of his voice sent me into my orgasm. The water that flowed over my skin felt warmer and made every inch it kissed tingle with a mixed need for amore satisfying release. From his spot on the counter, Auston groaned, and white ribbons of his release painted his stomach.

My breathing struggled to slow, and I gasped for breath with my hand braced against the shower wall. My legs still shook and Auston’s stare caused a heat to continue to churn in my core. He wore a satisfied smile.

“Fucking hell, babe. Maybe Idoneed to take another shower,” he said, quickly sliding from the counter and making his way towards me. “Room in there for one more?”

He didn’t wait for an answer before pulling the curtain back and stepping into the shower with me. The water glistened against his skin, running down his intricate tattoos and the chiseled muscles of his chest and abs. My mouth watered, and when he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to him, the comfort of his arms was warmer on my skin than the hot water.

I looked up at him, reaching up onto my tiptoes to press a long kiss to his lips. He sighed against my mouth, slipping his tongue along mine as if he couldn’t get his next breath without it. I brushed over his abs, tracing the “V” that framed his hips.

He gently held my chin, keeping my eyes locked on him. Stepping back, he held my stare while he reached for the bottle of shampoo, squirting it into the palm of his hand.

“Turn around,” he said, and when I did, he brushed his fingers through my hair, massaging and bringing the soap to a lather. I hummed at his touch, resting my body against his.

When he rinsed the shampoo from my hair and repeated the action with the conditioner, he was gentle, causing goosebumps to rise on my arms and neck. I let him continue the actions, adding soap to the white hotel washcloth and rubbing it over my arms and legs. The washcloth was rough on my nipples, and they peaked at the touch, resulting in a raised eyebrow on Auston’s face.

“So insatiable,” he said when he reached the crest between my legs. “But I’m not going to fuck you right now. I want to feelthis.” When he said it, he dropped the washcloth and grabbed my ass, tugging me flush against him. “I want to feel your chest rise when you breathe against my neck like that, and I want to feel the way your heart beats out of your chest when you get nervous.”

Until the water ran cold, we stayed like that, with his arms wrapped around me and my head against his chest. He held me in a way I could get used to—in that “I never want you to let go” kind of way—and when he leaned in and nuzzled my neck, I melted against him.

Still, the discussion at the pool with Simone was at the front of my mind. Was I keeping him from a relationship that was real? “Can I ask you something?”

He chuckled, running his hand along my spine. “Anything, anytime.”

“Who’s Sky?” I asked just before he kissed me.

He pulled back abruptly, his back stiffening. “What?”

“Simone said at one point they thought you were going to end up with Sky. Who’s Sky?” I giggled when he started to look nervous.

He cleared his throat. “Sky is a friend of ours. She moved to Minneapolis a few years back. There was a point when she and I were… close.” The uneasiness in his voice was thick.

“Meaning you fucked her a lot.”

“You’re so subtle.” He laughed.

“But I’m not wrong.” The muscles in his back rippled under my fingers when I traced my way up his spine to his shoulders, digging my nails into the skin. “Am I?”

He dropped his head, placing his lips against my neck and wrapping his arms around my waist. “No, you’re not wrong, but I didn’t care about her that way.This way.”

My knees felt like they were shaking, and I hoped he wouldn’t let go of me. I weaved my hands in his hair.This way.“I wasn’t mad,” I whispered before resting my lips against the side of his temple. “I was just curious. Simone said you guys had a lot of chemistry.”But not like us.
