Obviously, we’d all been working, but on very different things.

I looked around at the sweaty men and suggested, “Let’s all shower and then reconvene here in about thirty minutes,” I suggested.

“Thank God,” Ajax muttered before he gave me a salute and turned to leave Navy’s apartment. “I call dibs on the first shower.”

“You cooked dinner?” Navy asked.

“Yes, Jodie and I cooked for you guys. The main course can simmer while we get cleaned up, and everything will be ready to eat by the time we’re finished.”

“I’m going to borrow some of your clothes and use the guest bathroom,” Jodie said as she walked off toward Navy’s bedroom.

Suddenly, Navy and I were alone in the kitchen, and I looked around before I asked, “Wanna shower together?”

“Fuck yes!” Navy growled as he swept me into his arms and carried me toward the bedroom.

Jodie saw us laughing and walked out, rolling her eyes before she said, “Try to keep your antics down to a dull roar, and remember that we’re in a time crunch. I’m starving.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Navy said cheerfully.

“Horny assholes,” Jodie said as she stomped toward the spare bedroom.

“You’re just jealous!”

“Damn right!”

I was still laughing when Navy kicked the door closed behind us and made his way across the main bedroom toward the bath. I had jokingly told him more than once that I had decided to move into his condo because of this bathroom I’d fallen in love with at first sight.

That wasn’t really why, but it was a really great bathroom.

The shower was glass with built-in benches on either end - one beneath a rainfall shower, and the other beneath the shower wand. In the few nights that we’d spent together so far, we somehow always ended up in the shower, and I enjoyed it every single time.

Just like I knew I would enjoy this one

As soon as he set me on my feet, I pulled my T-shirt off and tossed it aside.

By the time I had shimmied out of my leggings and underwear, he was naked.

He bent forward to give me a kiss, and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

Instead of ending the kiss to move, he lifted me up and held me flush against his body as he walked us into the shower.

When my back hit the cold tiles, I gasped but didn’t let go of him.

I just wrapped my legs around his waist as he reached over and turned on the water.

One of the perks of his state of the art bathroom was the programmable temperature control and the tankless water heater on the wall in the closet nearby. Within just a few seconds, the temperature was perfect, and he turned us so we were beneath the rainfall and kissed me again and again.

As much as I loved it when he took the time, all I could think about was how many people were probably already waiting for us in the kitchen and my chicken was still simmering on the stove.

“Get out of your head,” Navy murmured close to my ear.

“I would if you’d get inside my pussy,” I said snarkily before I nipped at his neck. “A girl could get old and gray waiting on you to . . .”

My voice trailed off into a long moan when he entered me in one thrust, but he was the one gasping for air when I used my legs to lift up and then let myself fall down again.

I did this over and over until my legs started shaking.

Navy pressed me against the wall and held me there so he could take over, and all thoughts of anything other than the way our bodies fit together and the feel of his mouth on mine disappeared.

When I finally cleared my mind and let go of my worries, I was able to focus on the way he made my body feel.

I trusted him to hold me up, so I let go of his neck with one hand and put it between us so I could touch myself while he fucked me.

That was all it took. Within just a few minutes, I exploded into a million pieces.

The only thing tethering me to the earth was Navy.

He must have been waiting for me to erupt because he slammed into me as deep as possible and let out a loud groan before I felt his cock twitching as he met his own release.

We stood there underneath the spray, panting as we tried to catch our breath between kisses.

“I could stay here forever,” Navy murmured against my lips.

“But I’m hungry,” I whined.

“And you made dinner.”

“Yes, I did. I hope you like it.”

“I know I will.”

“We went to the store, but I also got some goodies from your rooftop garden.”

“That’s what it’s there for,” Navy said as he reached behind him and unhooked my feet. He held me with one arm as I put my legs down and then turned me so that the water wasn’t falling directly into my face. “What’s mine is yours, babe, and that includes the produce.”

“What about the dogs?”

“I think they already like you more than me seeing as how I have to drag Spicoli outside for a walk now that you’re here.”

“Leave the poor guy alone. He’s tired,” I said as Navy started massaging shampoo into my hair. I hummed before I said, “If you want dinner, you should let me take over. I can’t make it through you doing this without needing a nap when we’re finished.”

“But I love your hair.”

“I’m glad, and I’d love for you to do this later, but right now, I’ve got food on the stove I need to get back to.”

Navy sighed dramatically before he said, “You’re such a grown-up.”

I batted his hands away so I could finish up before I said, “I’ve got to get a move on. I need to get in there and feed my man and his minions.”

“I don’t know that they’d take kindly to hearing you refer to them as minions.”

“I trust you to keep my secrets because you know I’ll always keep yours.”

“What does that mean?” Navy asked.

“It means exactly what I said. Now move over so I can rinse.”
