“So,” she said, as her eyes met mine. Her hands continued their exploration over my body. “Why are you so energetic and happy?”

My girl could read me. I considered my answer carefully. The truth was that we captured the vampire who tried to beat you to death. But that wasn’t something Chanel needed to hear right now.

“Some business matters were resolved.” I replied, which isn’t exactly a lie. “And I missed you.”

“You’re being evasive.” She observed, but her tone was light. “Is it vampire business?”

“Everything in my life is vampire business.” I reminded her, while turning to rinse the soap from my body. “Except you. You’re my human business.”

I angled my head down to taste her lips. I sucked her into my mouth. This wasn’t the best move, considering my crowing cock. I pulled away from her lips to regain some composure.

Chanel’s hands glided down my chest and paused when she got to my abdomen. I couldn’t hide my solid erection. It was pointing eight inches in her direction. With her soapy hands, she let her fingers trace the bulging veins of my engorged pole. I got lost in the sensation.

I closed my eyes and let her stroke me up and down my shaft. Her touch lulled me into a trance. She splashed the warm water over my cock and rinsed it clean of the soap.

I wanted to open my eyes, but I didn’t. I was glad they were closed when I felt her lips wrap around the bulbous head of my cock. The sensation took me by surprise, and I squeezed my eyelids tighter to be present in the moment.

Her tongue danced around my member as she began to tease and lick me. My breath hitched in my throat as pleasure washed over me. I clutched at the shower wall for support. If I believed in heaven, this was what I envisioned.

Chanel took me deeper into her mouth, tightening her grip on my throbbing pole. The suction intensified, and warmth surrounded me as she worked her magic. With each bob of her head, I could feel the tension at the base of my spine coil tighter and tighter until I knew I couldn’t hold back any longer. The warmth of her mouth, coupled with the softness of her tongue, created a delicious sensation that spread through my body.

Her hand gripped my erection firmly. She stroked me up and down as her lips continue to work like a suction on mycock. My body trembled with every movement until I couldn’t hold on any longer. I grabbed the back of her head and let the hair conditioner seep into my fingernails. I thrusted my body forward and pumped my cum into her mouth, filling her throat until she gagged.

The sounds of her choking forced my eyes to open. I removed my leaking cock from her mouth and scooped her up from the shower floor. I held her under her arms while she regained her balance.

I wiped the residual cum from her lips and chin. I looked into her eyes and quickly placed my face under the shower water. I was too overwhelmed with emotion to look her in her eyes. I needed a quick splash of water on my face in order to return back to myself.

We finished washing in comfortable silence, taking turns under the spray to rinse off. I took a step back so Chanel could rinse her tresses clean. She rinsed her mouth and face. We both rinsed the suds from our skin. We basked in each other’s company during this private moment. The tranquility of the water and the closeness of our bodies created a sanctuary where we could lose ourselves in each other. I pulled her against me. With both of us slick with water, I pressed my lips to her forehead.

When we were clean, I shut off the water and stepped out first, grabbing three plush towels from the warming rack. I wrapped one around Chanel, using it to gently dry her skin before securing it around her. The second towel I handed to her for her hair. The third towel I wrapped around my waist, leaving my chest bare.

As we moved back into the bedroom, an idea formed. “I want to surprise you with something.” I said, watching her face light up with curiosity.

“Now?”

“Yes.”

“Is the surprise here?”

“No, we have to drive to it.” I told her.

“It’s almost four in the morning.”

“Yes, I know.” I moved to the closet, selecting clothes with more care than usual. I chose a black and gray track suit Chanel purchased for me. I wasn’t known to wear sweats, but Chanel bought it, so that was reason enough to wear it.

Noticing my clothing choice, she said. “Are you really wearing that?”

“Yes, I am. Get dressed in something comfortable.”

Her brow furrowed in confusion, but there was excitement in her eyes. “What kind of surprise is this?”

I crossed the room and took her face in my hands. I pressed a kiss on her lips. “The best kind.”

Chanel had no idea about the gift I had in mind. But the idea had been forming since I received Harlen’s call, a perfect way to mark this turning point in our battle against Teresa. Something to cement our future together, now that I’m certain we’ll have one.

“Alright, mister secretive man. This better be good.” She walked deep into the walk-in closet and the motion lights lit the room up. She disappeared inside the closet.

I fished a black t-shirt, socks, and fitted boxers out of the dresser drawer. I got dressed in my undergarments first. Then I put my sweatpants and black sneakers on. I went back over to the nightstand to grab my watch. I also strapped my holster under my shoulder and tucked my Glock in place. With time to kill, I placed my cell phone off the nightstand.
