Excerpt
Rachel's
POV
“Um, Pearce?” I yell out
the shower door.
“Yes,” I hear him say from
the bedroom.
“How do you turn the
shower on?”
“I’ll show you. Can I come
in?”
“Yeah.”
He comes in the bathroom
and into the large walk-in shower, keeping his eyes on the tile wall and not my
naked body. He puts his hand on one of the levers. “This one turns it on and
this one adjusts the water temperature.” He points to one of the knobs. “If you
want to adjust the shower heads, just turn this left or right. Each one has
three settings.”
“Thank you.”
He smiles as he looks me
up and down. “You’re very welcome.”
“Hey.” I swat at him.
“You’re not supposed to look.”
“You didn’t make that
clear when you invited me in here.”
“I didn’t invite you. I
just asked for your help.”
“And I gave it to you.” He
leans down and puts his lips to mine for a very slow, very sexy, very
deliberate kiss.
He’s testing my will
power. I’m naked. He’s in a towel. We’re in a shower. And his kiss is burning
up my insides.
He stops suddenly and
steps back out into the bathroom. “Mind if I shave while you’re in there?”
“Um, no, go ahead,” I say,
stumbling on my words, my brain not fully functioning after that kiss. I start
the water and adjust the temperature. Through the glass shower door, I see
Pearce lathering up his face with shaving cream.
In the mirror, he catches
me watching him and smiles, “How’s the shower?”
“It’s great.” I turn a
little so that all three shower heads are raining down on me. “Actually, it’s
pure heaven. So much better than mine. I’d love to have this shower.”
“You could if you lived
here.”
I wipe the water from my
eyes and see him running the razor over his face.
I decide to humor him.
“How much is the rent?”
“How much do you pay for
your current place?”
“Five hundred a month,
plus utilities.”
“The rent here is only a
hundred a month, utilities included.”
“Wow. That’s a bargain.
But I’d have to drive a half hour to class every day. That’s a lot of gas
money.”
“Even with gas, it’s still
cheaper than your current place.”
“That’s true.” I close my
eyes as the water runs over my face.
“So what do you think?”
I hear his voice right in
front of me. I open my eyes and there he is. No towel this time. Just him.
Freshly shaved and looking completely irresistible.
“I need to think about
it,” I say, feeling breathless as my heart races in my chest.
He stands there, giving me
an extremely sexy smile. I can’t take my eyes off him. I try, but I can’t. His
body is amazing. I know he works out, but I’d like to know what kind of workout
gets results like that. His body is hard. Solid. His muscles chiseled. I’m
heating up even more just looking at him.
He steps closer, slipping
his arm around my waist as he leans down and talks in my ear. “Would you like
me to leave?” He trails soft, warm kisses along my neck as the water flows over
us.
My eyes fall shut again as
I shake my head, unable to respond verbally. I’m too focused on how good this
feels. How turned on he makes me. How desperate I am for this to continue.
I feel his lips over mine
as his hand slowly travels down my spine, just like when he gave me that
massage last night, only this time there’s no waistband to stop him and his
hand keeps going, skimming over my hip and my backside. His other hand moves
behind my neck, holding me in place as his kiss goes deeper. My body’s on fire,
exploding with sensations, which only intensify when his hand slips between my
legs. He shows off his talent in this area once again, and moments later, I’m
coming undone, finding it hard to remain standing as waves of pleasure roll
through me.
His hand returns to my
waist, holding me up. “Rachel.”
I open my eyes and see him
looking at me. “Yes.”
“How well do you know me?”
I smile. “Well
enough.”
I’m still recovering from
what he did to me, my body ultra sensitive to his touch. But I’m ready for
more. I’ve held out long enough. I want this. I want this so bad.
