There was a small separate room for the toilet, and the floor was a gray slate colored granite that also was used in the walls of the huge walk-in shower that was set into the corner of the room next to a huge sunken tub. A glass door blocked off the shower from the room, but Dare could see the various showerheads, including a huge round rain showerhead in the ceiling. A bench had been built into the shower, large enough for someone to lie down on if they chose to use the space as a sauna.
“Okay, now this is pretty fucking impressive.”
She smiled as she got out a fresh set of towels for him and placed them on the countertop. “Thank you. It’s nice to relax in here after a hard day.”
“I bet.”
They silently undressed each other, their hands lingering as they caressed each other’s skin. He loved how uninhibited she was about her nudity. She was slim, but had beautiful full breasts that were tipped with rosy pink nipples and a small waist he could span with his hands. His body instantly reacted to the sight of her, and he was pleased at the fascination in her pretty blue eyes as she stared at his body. He worked out hard, took pride in his physique, but he felt like some sort of freaking god when she looked at him like that.
He grabbed the washcloth, then herded Evie into the large shower and she turned it on so water sprayed out from several different showerheads. The shower was large enough that Dare was able to move in and out of the water spray as he wanted, and the hot pulsing water felt good on his tired muscles. When the steam began to mist into swirls, the glass fogged up enough so it felt like they were in their own little wonderland, closed off from the rest of the world.
She began to wash her hair, but he told her to turn around and did it for her. He could tell by the way she acted that she wasn’t familiar with letting a man wash her hair for her, and he smiled at the thought. He took his time rubbing the soft strands of her hair with his fingers, and she turned in his arms so she could wash his hair too. Evie laughed when they both got soap suds in their eyes and they took a break to rinse out the shampoo, then they continued with some conditioner.
Dare realized that she was having fun teasing him. She knew exactly what she was doing as she continuously brushed up against him as they cleaned each other. She was daring him to take her, but he wouldn’t just yet. He saw the confusion on her face as he stepped back from her, and hid his smile.
Dare picked up a bottle of her shower gel and poured some onto the washcloth. Peaches. He should have known. He started washing but got distracted watching her as she rubbed her own cloth over her skin. He hurried to finish his own washing, wanting to get the dirt and grime of the day off of him, then poured some more of the shower gel into his hands. He took the washcloth from her and tossed it onto the floor next to his own.
“Here, let me take care of that for you.”
Her head tilted back to rest against his chest as he slowly rubbed her breasts. He felt her small, hard nipples stabbing into the center of his palms, and he rubbed them lightly, making her moan. He pressed a kiss to her temple as his hands worked down the front of her body until he reached the apex between her thighs. Loving the feeling of her wet skin pressed against his, he pushed closer so his hard cock came to rest against the crease of her ass.
“Open for me.”
Evie spread her legs apart a little and was rewarded when his hands moved down to stroke over her. Her pulse began to beat rapidly as he pressed a thick digit into her and his thumb rubbed against her clit. She let out a moan and rubbed back against him, but his other hand came up to her waist to hold her still.
She let out a gasp as he spun her around, pressing her back against the shower wall so his mouth could take hers. She opened for him, letting his tongue stroke inside as her hands wound into his wet hair, holding him to her. It felt so good to be held by him as he made love to her mouth. Her core ached and she wanted to feel him inside her again.
When he lifted her up she instantly wrapped her legs around him. He carried her over to the bench built into the shower and sat her down, and she was surprised when he released her and stood up. She reached out to touch him, but he captured her hand in his.
Dare looked down at her, seeing the need burning in her blue eyes. He wanted to take her. Hell, she was at the perfect level for him to push his dick into her hot mouth. God, how he would love to watch her suck him off, but this time wasn’t about him. And if she touched him now, he’d lose it. No, he had things he wanted to do to her before he took her again.
Kneeling down in front of her, he pushed lightly on her shoulders. “Lay back. Remember what I said downstairs? I think it’s time I had my dessert. You’re so beautiful, Eve. I want to explore you. To touch every inch of you until I know your body as well as my own.”
Her breath caught. “Turnabout is fair play.”
“And I’d love every second of it. But now it’s my turn.”
Evie let him positioned her on the bench so she was flat on her back, out of the direct path of the streams of water. Still, some of the mist sprinkled from the center showerhead like rain drops on their skin. She wanted to lick the moisture off of his body and had to force herself to lie still and give him what he wanted. He dazzled her. With his words, his every touch, she felt her heart opening to him and could do nothing to stop it.
She watched him as his gaze drifted over her body. The look on his face was enough to have her body preparing to take him. Chills rippled over her skin as his hands stroked over her. He pushed the wet hair off of her face, and she turned to playfully nip at his thumb with her teeth. She could feel his hard cock throbbing against her thigh and she wanted it.
Wanted him.
Dare could sense her impatience, and was glad he wasn’t the only one being tortured. He bent over her, licking at her nipple as he palmed her other breast. She arched into him, pushing up toward his mouth. He took the hint and sucked hard, then switched sides as his hands continued to roam over her wet skin, stroking and caressing.
Moving lower, he trailed soft kisses over her stomach until he reached her hip. Bypassing her core, he nipped at her thigh as he pulled her leg up to open her for him. Need flooded his system as he saw her pretty pink flesh, and his cock jerked as he imagined shoving himself deep inside her. He fought for control as he used his fingers to lightly trace the bare flesh of her mound on either side of the little strip of hair she had, then swirled them lower to touch the soft folds of her pussy.
“Umm, Dare...”
“You’re so soft here,” he murmured as he continued to gently stroke the tips of his fingers over her heated flesh. His gaze met hers and he saw the uncertainty mixed with the passion in her blue eyes. “Have you ever let a man look at you like this before? I’m not talking about just eating you out. I mean really look at you.”
“Not really,” she said, squirming a little. “They just sort of got down to business. And I’m really not comfortable talking about my previous partners with you right now.”
His eyes narrowed as he pushed his middle finger deep inside her so the rest of his hand was covering her entire mound. “Good, because this is mine now, and I don’t fucking share.”
“Neither do I.”
He stroked his finger in and out of her a few times, then he pulled out and buried his head into her pussy, lapping and sucking at her juices. She tasted like the perfect combination of sweet and salty, and he couldn’t get enough. Pushing his tongue deep, he tasted her, fueled by her breathless moans as he worked her closer to orgasm. When Evie came she cried out his name as her body shook, but once wasn’t enough for him.
He wanted her to come again.
Pulling back, he looked at her face as he slid two fingers back inside her. His thumb rubbed her clit, heightening her pleasure. He stroked her slowly, then started to increase the speed and pressure, watching her face as she writhed beneath his sexual onslaught. “I want to watch you come this time. I want to see the pleasure take you.”
“Oh God...”
“Do
you like that, Eve? Do you like feeling my fingers fucking you, or did you like me licking your pussy better?”
“Yes. No. Both! Oh, God, Dare. I can’t think when you’re doing that.”
Something was pushing at him. He wanted to take her, to push her where no other man had ever taken her. His fingers worked their way deep inside her, sliding in and out of her slick, tight hole and he felt her muscles flutter around him. Dare had never felt so possessive of a woman before, but he felt this driving need to ensure that her pleasure belonged to him. He wanted to own her body.
To make her forget about anyone else that had ever touched her.
He drove her to another shattering orgasm when he curled his fingers, hitting that spot deep inside her that made her entire body shake as she came. At the limits of his control, he jerked his fingers out of her and knelt between her parted thighs. Placing the tip of his cock to her entrance, he began pushing into her, then swore viciously as he made himself stop. “Fuck! I need a condom.”
Evie gripped his arm. “I don’t usually do this, but we’re both safe, and I’m on the pill. So, if you want—”
Her words ended on a scream as he slammed home, burying himself deep. Dare leaned over, gripping her head in his hands to hold her steady as he kissed. The thought of taking her with nothing between them made him crazy. He’s never fucked a woman without a rubber, but Evie wasn’t just any woman. She was special. He began pumping into her, growling as he covered her body with his, feeling like a wild animal desperate to mate.
He burned for her.
Lifting one of her legs, he wrapped it around his waist as her other foot moved to the floor for leverage. Thrusting his hips against her, he lost himself to the mindless need. He plunged his tongue back into her mouth, mimicking the rhythm of his cock as he fucked her hard and deep.
Evie loved the feel of his cock slamming into her. Unwilling to be a pliant underneath him any longer, she raised up, pushing him back until they fell to the shower floor. He let out a loud grunt and she reveled at the laugh that bubbled out of her throat. This time Evie slammed her mouth down on his, sucking his lower lip into her mouth as she rocked her hips against him. Dare’s hands gripped hips tight enough to bruise, stilling her movements.
She fought him as he tried to turn them over. Lifting her hips, she raised herself off of him, then slammed herself back down, taking his entire length back into her. Clasping his hips with her knees, she braced one hand on his chest and threw her head back, letting the water cascade over her as she began to ride him.
Dare cursed as he braced his feet against the floor of the shower and pushed his hips up to meet her. His dick grew impossibly harder as he watched her cup her own breasts, pinching her nipples as she continued to pleasure them both. Fuck, he had never seen anything as glorious as her on top of him. Surrounded by falling water, with the steam swirling around her, she look like some sort of sex goddess, tempting him to his doom.
But what a way to go.
“Do that again,” he demanded as she tightened on him.
“Like that?” she purred as she squeezed his cock with her tight pussy.
“Yeah, just like that. God damn, your tight little pussy feels so damn good. Fuck me, Eve. Fuck yourself down on me.”
He pulled her head back down, wrapping her wet hair in his fist to hold her in place as he began tunneling into her with fast, hard strokes, pounding furiously into her heat with rhythmic thrusts.
They were both wild, driven by the need to come, taking and giving in equal measure.
“You feel so good inside me,” she moaned. “So big and hard...”
“I’m getting close. Tell me if you want me to pull out,” he ordered, his breath whispering over her lips. His body jerked at the thought, his cock not wanting to leave the haven of her body, but he would do it if she asked.
It might fucking kill him, but he’d do it.
Staring into his eyes, she whispered, “Give it to me. Give me everything.”
With a groan Dare turned them so she was beneath him again, sealing his mouth over hers. He slammed into her full-force, so hard she had to brace a hand against the wall to keep from sliding on the slick floor.
Flesh slapped against flesh as he fucked her like a man possessed.
He captured her scream as her body came apart in his arms, her pussy clamping down on him so hard it hurt. She bucked against him and he felt the sting of her nails digging into his back. That bite of pain was enough to push him over the edge and he groaned as his cock exploded, filling her with pulse after pulse of his hot, thick cream.
Evie’s body was rocked with aftershocks as they lay their breathing hard for several long minutes. She’d come so hard that she’d seen stars. It was scary what he made her feel, but she was too tired at the moment to dwell on it for long.
“We should get out of here before we drown.” He pulled out of her slowly and stood up, helping Evie to her feet. Now that the sexual haze was dissipating, it worried her that she could practically feel Dare distancing himself from her.
It left her feeling bereft and totally off kilter.
They turned off the shower and silently dried off. Bracing herself from the pain she felt, she tried to act normal. She took out a new toothbrush, leaving it on the sink for him as she got ready for bed. When she was done in the bathroom, she turned to leave.
“I’ll be out in a minute.”
She nodded and walked back into her bedroom. What the hell had just happened? They were acting like two strangers and it was unnerving. Evie considered putting pajamas on for a minute, then thought fuck it. She got into bed and pulled the covers up. She rolled over, facing away from the bathroom and stared out at the night sky.
This wasn’t easy. A part of her wanted to pretend to be sleeping when he came out of the bathroom giving him an excuse to leave, while another bigger part of her wanted to yell at him and ask him what the hell was wrong with him. After the day she had, she just didn’t have the strength to deal with any more emotional blows. She knew she’d made a major mistake thinking about the rescue, because that was when the shaking started.
“What the hell?”
Dare hurried into the room, jumping on the bed to pull her into his arms and cursed himself for a fool. There he was, brooding in the bathroom while she had been lying in the bedroom because he’d pulled away and left her alone. After what they had just shared, he felt like a total ass.
Christ, he was a total ass.
“I’m so sorry, baby. Please don’t cry. I just needed a minute to deal with the fact I broke one of my own rules.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” she asked. She tried to push herself away from him, but he held tight.
“Stop it. Don’t pull away.”
“You mean like you did?”
He cupped her face, brushing away her tears. Seeing her cry over something he’d done tore him up inside. “Listen to me. It might seem stupid, but I’ve never made love with a woman without a condom before. It’s been a rule of mine, and I needed a moment to think about things.”
“I didn’t force you,” she snapped. “But stow your ego, you big stupid jerk. I’m not crying about you. Now, let me go. I was thinking about those poor dogs...”
He forced her head down on his shoulder, holding her close. Lifting her with him, he laid down on the bed with her cradled against him. Voice softening, he said, “I’m sorry, princess.”
She began to shake again, but this time she was surrounded by his warmth. Burrowing closer to him, she contradicted herself when she said, “Maybe you should just go.”
“Not a chance. First, I want to say that it’s natural to be upset by what happened today. And I’m sure I didn’t help by acting like an idiot just now.”
“We don’t have to do it again.”
He lifted her chin and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. “I want to. God, do I want to. I’m going to fuck up, Eve. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a relationship, and e
ven longer since it was with someone who really mattered. You matter. I was just realizing how much you matter to me. You have to give a guy a moment to catch up.”
She sighed. “I guess this counts as your stupid male moment of the day. But this was a biggie.”
He kissed her again as he chuckled softly. “How about I help you forget about today and make it up to you?”
“How do you plan to do that?”
He rolled on top of her, nudging her thighs apart so he could settle between them. He was hard again just from feeling her soft skin against his body, and he knew he was in trouble of getting addicted to her. He’d had a moment of panic after the last time they’d made love, but he quickly realized that he felt more alive being with her than he had in a long time.
And he wasn’t about to let that go.
He wasn’t about to let her go.
“Why don’t you let me make love to you again, then I’ll hold you while we sleep?”
She smiled up at him. “I guess we could give that a try.”
He kissed her sweetly as he slid inside her. They made love again, this time slowly. Their bodies moved as one in the shadows, their touch tender as they caress one another. When he came inside her, filling her with his release, she joined him, whispering his name.
And when they closed their eyes, they drifted into dreams, together.
Chapter Eleven
Over the next several days, Evie and Dare fell into a comfortable routine.
Every morning, Dare went downstairs and took the dogs out while she made them coffee. When he got back, they would sit out on her balcony and drink their first cup snuggled together on a large ottoman, before getting in the shower. It pleased her that he seemed to enjoy her bathroom as much as she did, and he also seemed particularly fond of sex in the shower with her.
Talk about starting her day off right.
After that first morning they had woken up together, she had explained why they couldn’t go into the center if they had sex after they showered. All of the dogs would smell it on them, and that would just get awkward. So, he had made it a point to either wake her up with sex, or they jumped each other while they were in the shower.
