“Maybe that’s your blood in me that you’re sensing.”
“I definitely sense that too, but this is more.”
She stepped into him, sighing when her breasts came into contact with his chest. Even with the knots in her muscles, desire for him bloomed within her. She rested her fingers on his chest as his hand cupped her cheek.
His other arm wrapped around her waist and he lifted her against him. Kadence draped her arms around his neck. She nibbled at his bottom lip, drawing it into her mouth as he stepped into the shower with her. A blissful groan escaped her when the hot water beat against her skin and eased some of the soreness from her.
Ronan lowered her to the ground and reached behind her to grab the bottle of shampoo. “Close your eyes,” he said gruffly.
Despite her displeasure over the loss of contact between them, Kadence closed her eyes as he guided her around. He worked the shampoo into her hair with a tenderness she never would have suspected from him as he massaged her scalp.
“Marta said women like conditioner,” he said after he’d washed the shampoo from her hair and lifted another bottle.
She turned her head to look at him over her shoulder. The water running down his face and broad chest created rivulets she longed to lick away from him. “You asked Marta about women’s things?”
His mouth curved into a smile. “I am not well versed in what women require.”
She laughed as she brushed the wet hair out of her eyes. “I could argue differently about that, but yes, conditioner does help with the tangles in long hair. I doubt you have to worry about that.”
“Not in years, and there was no conditioner the last time I had long hair.”
“You had long hair?”
“At one time. I cut it off the first time it got in my way during a fight and never let it grow long again.”
“I see,” she murmured as he worked the conditioner into her hair.
She closed her eyes as his hands kneaded her cramped muscles afterward. He stepped closer to her, his erection rubbing against the hollow of her back while he worked over her body until all the knots were out of her muscles and her entire body felt electrified with its need for him. He washed the conditioner from her hair before positioning her so that her back was flush to his chest.
Stretching above her head and behind her, she ran her hand over the stubble lining his cheek. His lips pressed into her palm as one of his hands skimmed down her belly while the other rubbed the underside of her breasts.
“We should get you back to bed,” he whispered against her palm.
“You read my mind,” she replied. She lowered her other hand to grip his rigid shaft. “I want you, Ronan, now.”
He should deny himself, she needed rest, but for the life of him he couldn’t get the words past his constricted throat. She turned into him, and her gaze latched onto his mouth. The scent of her arousal grew stronger on the air, ensnaring him within its intoxicating depths.
Her fingers threaded through his hair as she rose onto her toes. He gripped her ass as her wet breasts slid over his skin, and she rubbed enticingly against his cock.
“You’ve been through a lot. You should rest,” he said.
“There is no rest for the wicked,” she murmured as she ran her tongue over his lower lip before nipping on it. “And I have more than one hunger right now.”
Releasing her, he reached behind her to turn the water off. He opened the shower door, lifted her up, and carried her out. He removed a towel from the rack near the shower and enclosed her within the soft, terrycloth material. Her damp hair fell about her shoulders as she wiggled against him and bit at his lip again.
Her fingers glided over his chest, her gaze following everywhere she touched. The muscles of his stomach rippled as she traced them and delighted in the feel of him. He was everything she could have ever wanted and more.
Kadence pushed the towel away from her before gripping his shoulders and lifting herself so she could circle her legs around his waist. His eyes swirled a burgundy color as she rubbed her sex teasingly against the head of his cock. When he went to lower her onto him, she lifted herself away and shook her head as she gave him a playful smile.
Ronan lifted an eyebrow at her when she rubbed teasingly against him again, but didn’t take him into her. Stalking forward, he set her on the marble counter near one of the sinks and pulled away from her. She went to grab him, but he caught her wrists and pinned them over her head to the mirror behind her. Her breasts heaved with her inhalations as she gazed at him from passion-darkened eyes.
“Do you enjoy teasing me, Kadence?” he inquired.
A smile curved her mouth as she slid her hips toward him. Her legs parted in invitation to him, but he held back from entering her.
“Now it’s my turn to tease,” he murmured.
Bending his head, he licked his way down her breast toward her nipple. Kadence’s back bowed as he drew the puckered bud into his mouth and ran his tongue around it before turning his attention to her other breast.
