An escape.

Whatever stress coiled in my body from work, whatever pain was passing through Chloe after seeing her family tonight… we held the key to releasing it all, to finding relief, in just a single touch.

My cock twitched against her back as I cupped her hard between the legs, rubbing my palm against her under the water. The soapy suds added the perfect amount of lubrication for me to glide and slip, and Chloe let her head fall back on my shoulder, her eyes closing, mouth parting.

“Yes,” she breathed, bucking against my touch. Her hands reached behind her for me, twisting in my hair. “I love when you touch me, Will. I love the way your hands feel.”

I groaned at the sound of my name, at the breathless way she said it.

“Grab my throat,” she begged, squirming beneath my touch under the water.

“Fuuuuck.” The word dragged long and low out of me, and I kept one hand working between her thighs as the other slid up her chest until I could wrap my fingers around the column of her neck. “You like when I choke you, baby?”

“Yes,” she panted, wetting her lips. “Harder.”

I squeezed, just enough to make her whimper, to make the blood rush to her face. It was hot as fuck, and the way her pussy clenched around my middle finger told me it turned her on as much as it did me.

“You know who I really want to throttle?” I asked, squeezing a bit tighter. “Noah.”

She stilled under my touch, and then a soft laugh slipped through her lips. “Who?”

“The guy at your school,” I clarified. “The one the girls were talking about.”

Just saying this guy’s name made my entire body vibrate with jealousy. I’d done my best to put it out of my mind since the barbecue — especially because Chloe hadnever brought him up to me, and clearly, I was getting any spare time shedidhave.

But I’d be a lying sonofabitch if I said I didn’t think about it.

“I want you to date, Chloe,” I said, rubbing her neck with my thumb as I slid my finger deep inside her, out, and in again. She moaned at the touch, body slick and sliding against mine. “I want you to be happy. But,fuck, I don’t want to share you.”

The admission had my next breath harder to take, but I tried not to focus on it. I tried to keep all my attention on where she was writhing against me, instead.

“He isn’t real,” Chloe breathed, arching her ass against me. “I made him up.”

“You… what?”

“I made him up,” she repeated, covering my hands where I held her. She gripped me tight, both of us groaning when I pushed my finger inside her again. “The girls were convinced I was smitten over someone, so I created Noah.”

Chloe twisted in my arms a bit, enough that our eyes met.

“You’re the only one touching me, Will. You’re the only one Iwantto touch me.” She swallowed. “The only one I want to touch.”

My nose flared with possession, my eyes searching hers before she turned again, body pressing against mine in a silent plea for more. Andfuck, it shouldn’t have made me happy. It shouldn’t have felt so good to hear her say that.

I didn’t deserve it.

But I desired it all the same.

She couldn’t speak anymore, not when I gave her what she asked for, her every breath being cut short by mygrip. I kept it just loose enough for her to be okay, but tight enough to give her what she needed, and I slid my palm under the water up to her tits. I played with her nipples, taking my time with each swollen, beautiful breast before my hand dove back down again, applying pressure against her clit.

She bowed off me, hips thrusting up and nearly out of the water as she chased that friction.

I licked a slow, sensual line behind her ear before sucking on her lobe, nipping it with a growl. It sent chills over her skin, and her entire body trembled when I pressed my palm against her clit again and smoothed her up and down.

“Look at you,” I mused, smiling against her neck. “So desperate to come. So fucking needy.”

She mewled, and one low, whispered word escaped through her rosy lips.

“Please.”
