She wiggled, her body warm—no, more than warm. She was a fiery furnace that set his need soaring.

“The first time I can have you I’m taking you in the shower,” Jesse warned her. “Or, maybe not the first time, because I won’t be able to keep my hands off you long enough to get you in here. Maybe the second time, because you dripping wet for me, body slippery—fucking works.”

Dare let out a soft moan, reaching up to hook a hand around his neck.

He caught her earlobe between his teeth and worried it for a moment before whispering in her ear, “I want to look into your eyes when you get close. I want to see you lose control and tip over the edge like an out-of-control explosion, like before.”

She rocked against him, and Jesse slid his fingers between the lips of her pussy and stroked, slow enough to tease, hard enough to drive her wild. Over and over as he nibbled on the back of her neck between telling her every dirty thing he had on his list.

“I’m going to fuck you from behind, and up against the wall. I’m going to lick every inch of you and then take you from one end to the other.”

A shudder rocked her, and her hips pulsed forward.

He turned and pulled on the tab to send the water up to the showerhead, standing protectively so the cold in the line hit him first. The instant the water went warm he twisted them, water driving between his fingers where he cupped her breast. Moisture dripped from her nipple, and Dare laid her head back on his shoulder and groaned, the sound driving into him and sending a pulse straight to his balls.

No sex, no sex. Keep your fucking cock away from her.

He listened to himself, mostly. The shower made things even more slick, and he increased the pressure on her clit. His other hand he curled around to tease between her butt cheeks as he fastened his teeth on her shoulder and nipped.

Her hips pulsed helplessly against his hand, and he increased the tempo, fingers working her like a concert pianist while he stroked over the tight hole of her ass.

“So close,” she offered, her voice tight. Her fingers were wrapped around his wrist with a death grip, pulling him closer, not pushing him away.

He adjusted position, pressing his cock into the hollow of her back. Rubbing to ease his cock even as he worked to bring her pleasure. His hands worked independently, multitasking like a mofo, one intent on getting her off, the other needing to soak in the lushness of her breasts.

“Oh. Oh, Jesse…”

Her grip tightened, fingernails digging into his forearm. Jesse kept up the demanding pace on her clit, rocking his hips and fucking against her in a desperate race to completion.

One earthmoving pulse later, she came apart in his arms. A long, low moan escaped her, and the noise triggered his release. He set his teeth together and his release exploded, seed spraying over her back and rubbing between them. He slowed his fingers as aftershocks rocked her.

He forced himself to stay vertical, the beat of the water around them dull in his ears as blood raced so hard the roar drowned out everything else.

He fought for air.

She relaxed in his arms, turning to catch his face in her hands then dragging their lips together to kiss him deeply. The same fire he’d experienced that night in February scalded him.

He pressed on her shoulders and inched them apart.

“You shouldn’t kiss me,” he warned.

She threaded her fingers through his hair, chest rocking with her heavy breaths. “I know, but maybe I’m not as smart as I should be.”

He wasn’t about to insist he was safe, even though he really thought he was.

She rested her head on his shoulder, curling against him, and he held her, the moment strangely intimate—

More intimate than seconds earlier while giving her pleasure. Right then there was nothing but them, naked and unguarded. Nothing between them but a fine sheen of water.

Nothing but them…and a baby.

Jesse’s heart rate kicked into overdrive all over again.

Chapter Five

They’d had sex and crawled into bed before, albeit drunk as skunks, so getting into bed wasn’t an issue. It was after, as they lay in the dark for a while until it was clear neither of them was sleepy yet.

“I should talk to your brothers,” Jesse murmured against her neck as he spooned behind her. “Who’s going to be my biggest trouble?”
