as her eyes devoured him. He'd always had a good build, but now, well, now it was hard to control herself from wanting to crawl out of the tub and run her tongue along the pronounced V of his hips.
“Two seconds.” He was halfway out the bathroom door as he spoke, as naked as the day he was born and seemingly not giving a shit even though she knew that his blinds were open. Anyone looking in at that exact moment was going to be given one hell of a show.
Danny returned as fast as he'd promised, two beers in hand. He handed one to her with a smile. “Scoot up a little so that I can get behind you.”
“If I had a dollar for every time you've said that to me, I'd have a lot of dollars.” Amelia felt arousal surge threw her as he laughed, really laughed. It changed his entire face and made him even more handsome, which shouldn't have been possible.
She realized that the water had been too high the minute that Danny sank down in the water behind her. Bubbles cascaded over the edge, water soaked the floor. “Shit.” Amelia moved; her first thought was to try and soak it up with his few threadbare towels, but his hands settled on her hips.
“I'll clean it up. Sit back. Relax. Or relax as best you can while we slowly boil to death. It's hot enough to cook a lobster in here.”
“No, it's not. This water isn't boiling or even close to it.” Amelia leaned back against his chest, smiled at the old argument. It was almost as if no time had passed between them. If she could just somehow forget the last seven years and her family was still alive it would be a perfect world. They soaked in silence, only the sound of the water dripping from the faucet into the tub broke the silence.
She was all too aware that they were both naked and the tub, while spacious, didn't give them much room to not be pressed against each other. Amelia could feel the hardness of his length pressed against her ass. This was the most intimate they'd been since the night she'd returned, the night he'd gotten her off before being called away.
The memory of it stirred something deep inside of her, something that had been dormant and forgotten until that night. There was no one who set her on fire the way that Danny did. Amelia let the fire spread, she could feel a tingle between her submerged thighs. Even when she shifted her body, his hands remained on her hips, even though he grew harder against her. Amelia expected that he would try something. Disappointment and doubt dug into her stomach. Suddenly the comfortable silence felt awkward.
“You okay?” Danny's lips brushed against her exposed shoulder.
“I'm fine.”
“Don't seem fine. All of a sudden you went tense.” His lips pressed against her shoulder again.
“I was just thinking.”
“About?” His fingers began to move on her hips, traced slow circles against her slick skin.
There was no power in the universe that would make her tell him she'd been wondering if he wanted her. There were only a few things she could do to piss him off; expressing self doubt was in the top two. “Everything, I guess.” Amelia said instead. Before she could allow herself to overthink what she was about to do, she shifted her body in the water.
Danny let out a low grunt as she straddled him. “Amelia.”
“Danny.” She could see that he was being cautious, no matter how aroused he was, he was thinking of her first. Likely worried that she was going to regret what she was doing. It was knowing that he'd put her before himself that let her know she'd have no regret.
Before he could say anything else, she leaned in and kissed him. His hands found her hips once again and dug in. Amelia flexed her body in response and moaned at the feeling of him against her core. It had been seven years since they'd been together. Seven years since she'd been with a man. Danny thrust his hips against her. She should have told him to go slow but she didn't want slow. She wanted him more than anything.
