I look at her and grin. “Have I told you lately that you’re pretty cute?”

She sits back up and jokingly bats her eyes at me. “You better behave if you want to be invited into my bedroom.”

“Speaking of,” I say, dragging her to her feet with me. “Sorry, Mortimer, we’ll hang later.” Then I lead a laughing Robin down the corridor.

She stops me halfway and pulls on my shirt. “Wait,” she says, looking nervous suddenly.

“What’s up?” I say, searching her eyes. “Is everything okay? Do you want to stop?”

“No.” She shakes her head. “It’s just … I feel kind of gross from the gala and from being around so many people. I kind of want to shower before we do anything. Is that okay? Is that weird? You can join me if you want.”

I just stare at her, blinking like an idiot.

“Sorry, you don’t have to––”

“Robs, are you seriously asking if I want to shower with you? Of course I want to. Why aren’t we already in there?”

She laughs at that and leads me into the bathroom down the hall.

Her bathroom is much bigger than one would assume, with a huge shower in the corner that is definitely big enough for two. There are green leafy plants hanging from the ceiling and a fuzzy bathmat that looks like a kiwi. She turns on the light above the sink but keeps the others turned off, giving the bathroom a soft and intimate atmosphere.

I unbutton my shirt as she walks to the massive shower to turn on the water. “It takes forever for the water to heat up.”

I step up behind her, grabbing her by the waist to tug her against me. “I can be patient,” I say, nibbling her ear.

She squirms in my arms. “I’m ticklish.”

I hum before I turn her around to kiss her again, slowly this time, because I want to take my time with her and enjoy this as long as possible.

Her soft hands move their way up my chest, yanking my shirt off completely. With her hands back on my bare chest, she trails her fingers up and down.

I grab the hem of the grey shirt she’s still wearing and pull it over her head. Then my hands land on the straps of her dress again and I gently move them down her shoulders, and she wiggles her arms out. I reach for the zipper on the back and slowly unzip it halfway before I pause. “Is this still okay?”

Robin nods. Her hands find the zipper, and the dress glides down her body.

She’s now in nothing but a black thong, and I can’t stop looking at her. She’s so gorgeous, and I stare at her half-naked body like I’ve never seen a woman before.

“It’s unfair that you’re still wearing so many clothes,” she whispers, her hands already unbuckling my belt. She’s much faster than I was, and within seconds all my clothes have dropped to the floor.

“Now you are wearing too many clothes,” I joke as I twist her around, her back flush against my chest as I tug the thong down her legs.

Once she’s fully naked, I guide us into the shower, my hands gripping her waist. “Is it okay if your hair gets wet?” I murmur in her ear.

“Yes,” she says in a breathy voice that’s barely audible.

I push her forward into the shower stream, only moving her around once the water trickles over her body.

And fuck. Robin is fully naked in front of me now, and I don’t know what I have done to deserve this. Because I actually can’t believe I get to see her like this.

I take a step back to look at her, my eyes roaming over her figure. Her skin glistens in the soft glow of the bathroom, the wet strands of her hair clinging to her slender neck, and I watch, mesmerized, as the water cascades down her body.

I stare at her, transfixed, until I choke out, “You’re a dream.”

She looks at me hungrily, her gaze traveling down my body until her breath hitches. “Hayden,” she pleads. “Please. Touch me.”

I don’t need to be told twice. I am on her in a second, one hand in her hair and one on her hip as I kiss her. The water sloshes over us as we devour each other, our tongues exploring each other’s mouths greedily. The steamy air envelopes us as we’re pressed together tightly, her body fitting perfectly against mine. My cock strains against her wet skin, the friction feeling too perfect.

I know whatever happens tonight won’t be enough. I’m going to want her over and over. I’m not a one-time kind of guy.
