“I still shouldn’t—”
“Oh, please” Alexis rolled her eyes “Stop it You were ht Just accept that I arasp hold of you, to be there for you I don’t do anything I don’t want to, Raoul Or anyone So get over it”
Wrapping her bravado around her like a shield, Alexis walked away froed it on over her head and all but ran back to her room and into the en suite bathroo breath as the water warmed It was still early, at least another hour until sunrise and Ruby’s usual ti back to bed No ould she get any own and stepped into the luxuriously tiled shower stall and closed her eyes against the strea for the bar of soap she’d put there yesterday Her eyes flew open when she encountered et male instead
Raoul’s gaze was intense, his jaw a rigid line and his lips pressed firether as he stood there, water fro over his hair and down his neck and shoulders
He reached for the bar of soap and lathered it up in his hands before gently turning her around to face the shoall His hands were fire her shoulders with the scented foa into knots she didn’t know she had He worked his way down the center of her spine, easing away any residual stiffness she had froht
By the ti Her breasts felt full and heavy, aching for his touch, her nipples ruched into tight nubs She squeezed her thighs together to relieve some of the pressure that built at their apex but it only served to increase her hunger for more of his touch
His hands left her for a minute, only to return, relathered and on a deterainst her buttocks as he reached around her, cupping her breasts and gently an to track down her body, pressing her back against his, felt hi center She waited for his possession but he seeers teased and played with her, coaxing her flesh a little wider, grazing her clitoris with firm sweeps of his thumb
Alexis’s legs trein to build and build, the pressure almost too much to bear When he finally slid inside her, he touched off so withshe’d felt before
She rose to the tips of her toes as Raoul drove into her body She could feel the roughness of the hair on his legs against the backs of her thighs, the firainst her buttocks When he came, he came hard and so did she Pleasure didn’t just coain
His head fell onto her shoulder and his ar who slowed and Alexis felt strength return to her limbs Hot water still pounded them both as Raoul withdrew froently washed then rinsed her clean She was glad of the attention as, while she was regaining control of her limbs, her consciousness was still under question
“Keep taking your pill,” Raoul said in the shell of her ear, and then he was gone
By the time she looked around, he’d swiped one of the towels from the heated rail and had left the bathroo her to almost wonder if she hadn’t just drea of her heart, and the tendrils of satisfaction that still ebbed and flowed through her, confirht about what he’d said, as well as what she’d told hi on the Pill
Technically, she was, but since she’d been here she’d been less than fully careful about taking the contraceptive In the past, she’d always been a stickler for taking her tablet on time, but with the adjustment to a whole new routine this past oing to have to change if they were going to continue with thisthiswhatever it was Clearly he had reached some personal decision about the two of the else
She turned off the showerheads and stepped froe bath sheet Could she settle for that? The pursuit of physical release with none of the messy emotional stuff that usually came with it?
