Excerpt (Erotic – Only for 18+)
While the warm spray fell on her, he came up behind her, his male
form tight against her. She gave a shaky sigh, longing rising within her again.
He pressed his erection against her backside cheeks and eased in between them.
She liked the sensation of pressure against her butt, teasing her crack. Was
she ready to explore this?
“Tell me if you wish for me to stop.”
“Okay.”
He kissed the back of her neck, the roughness of his slight stubble
sending shivers down her spine. She arched her neck, and his cock hardened,
entering her crack, enticing her. She twisted under his touch, the water making
them slick and smooth against each other. Their bodies writhed together, and
she spun around for him to put his dick into her. Her wet breasts rubbed his
chest. He gave her a tentative kiss, tasting her mouth with his tongue. Fire
shot into her belly as their tongues connected, but he didn’t thrust into her
yet. As he slicked his torso against her nipples roughly, tingles of pleasure
made delirium take over. Every part of her sexuality thrilled.
“Wait.” He stepped out of the shower, dripping wet puddles on a path
to the room. He came back with another condom.
Her body was impatient. How could she wait? He came back to her and picked
up where he left off, this time bringing his cock towards her. She had to stand
on her tiptoes to take him inside her. With the moisture of the shower, he sank
in with ease, the angle sending shards of pleasure through her core. He thrust
gently at first, then more fervently. She could do nothing but groan as she climaxed,
the sound of Kirk’s moans matching hers, his body thrashing against hers.
Exhausted, she soaped herself with her back to him, unable to face
Kirk yet. She felt almost embarrassed at the way her wanton behavior took over.
Would he know how long she had wanted this? How she wished she had
given them more of a chance? Or how much she still needed him? Could he know she’d
dreamed about him at night in her sleep? Upon waking up, she’d regarded those
dreams as crazy remnants of a disturbed marriage.
He picked up a facecloth and foamed it with soap. He rubbed it down
her back, arms, legs, and derriere, all the while touching her gently with his
body. Oh, how good his touch felt. Why couldn’t he have done this before, when
she really needed it? The intimacy brought tears to her eyes, clogging her
throat.
His reached his soaped hands around and cupped her breasts. She
sighed with contentment. She’d needed his touch, his hands upon her in a
perfect combination of firmness and gentleness. He showed no impatience or
roughness except at their height of passion. Instead giving off all warmth and
fire and sweet pleasure.
Was it the wretched wedding ring that had wrung out all the passion?
Or had she changed? And he? There were no solid answers. She’d promised herself
there wouldn’t be any emotional attachment. She had to leave before she wanted
to stay the whole night. Without giving away her sudden panic, she stood under
the spray to rinse, stepped out, grabbed a towel, and dried herself. While he
soaped himself, she dressed and sat on the couch to wait for him, rubbing her
hair with her fingertips to take out the intense moisture. Panic rose in her
throat.
“Hi.” He came to the room, his hair glistening, his face relaxed,
and a shy grin on his face.
A twinge of nausea ran through her. What had she just done? She’d
made love to Kirk, her ex-husband, twice in one night, and had intimate contact
in the shower. She’d bared a very personal need and part of her soul to the man
she’d grown to hate years ago. He would expect more. His tenderness a few
minutes ago had indicated that. She wasn’t ready for more. She’d already given
him a part of her heart again. A part he could wring into a hurtful ball.
