That’s how I feel too. And I want to tell him and tell him soon.
But first, I need to de-skunk myself.
I let my bra fall to the floor as steam curls from the shower. I peel off my damp panties, hold them up on my fingertip, twirl the cotton fabric, then toss them to the floor as well.
I step into the shower but keep my eyes trained on my best friend. I’m tempted to make a joke, maybe about swamp monsters or sea creatures, but the look in his eyes stops my breath.
Intensity flashes across his irises, a deep and powerful longing in his green gaze.
My heart stutters, then it pounds relentlessly as he pushes his jeans to the floor.
His boxer briefs go whoosh.
His cock springs free, happy to see me in my Central Park state of decay.
“Nice to see you too,” I say as I lean my head back under the water, letting it stream over me.
He steps in, closing the shower door behind us.
I shudder at his nearness, at the way he can’t take his eyes off me.
And at my own spiking pulse.
But I also want to get clean.
Seems Oliver wants that too, because he reaches behind me for the shampoo, pours some into his hands, then washes my hair. He’s tender and gentle, running the shampoo all through my strands then rinsing it out.
I squirt some into my hands and return the favor, loving the feel of his hair between my fingers.
We’re quiet, besides saying the occasional hi, and that feels good, and lots and lots of mmmms.
I don’t trust myself to say anything else. To not blurt out some great, immutable truth. Some pronouncement born from years of admiring him from afar, from endless days of maybe, possibly crushing on my best friend.
Fine, maybe it was more than a crush.
Maybe it’s becoming real, so damn real, but I don’t trust that this new reality will last beyond the here and now.
So I let myself wordlessly enjoy the moment.
He reaches for his shower gel, pours some in his hands, and then lathers up. He rubs along my arms, and I inhale deeply, loving the attention, the care.
He moves up my arms to my shoulders, soaping me, then down my breasts to my belly.
After he squirts more soap, he bends, kneeling on the tiles as the water pounds over us. He soaps up my legs, from my ankles to my knees to my thighs, cleaning all the dirty water off me.
Then he runs his hands up the back of my legs and looks up at me. “I swear this is all I’ve thought about since the other night,” he whispers, and presses his face to my thigh, brushing a kiss against my skin, water droplets sliding down his nose.
“Same here,” I confess, my voice feathery, my need palpable.
“Maybe I am simple, Summer. I just want to touch you again. I want to kiss you and have you and fuck you,” he says, then a rumble emanates from his throat as he turns his face from my leg to my center, pressing his lips against me where I ache for him.
Flicking his tongue against my wetness.
“Oh God,” I gasp the second he makes contact.
And because I’m helpful like that, I widen my stance, spreading my legs a little more.
He groans against me, licking and kissing.
Desire floods my body. It lights up my veins. It spreads across my skin as he cups my ass and licks me in his shower. I lean back against the wall, and I’m glad I do when my knees wobble as his tongue sweeps across all my wetness, all my desire for him. Kissing, licking, sucking.
The sounds he makes are a dirty song, a carnal tune of lust and passion, the notes insanely sensual.
“If this is simple, I’ll take it,” I whisper, my fingers tangling in his hair.
He hitches my right leg onto his shoulder, and yes, standing is harder now, but he’s got me, and so has the wall.
And this is on.
It’s happening.
And I’m awash in pleasure.
He’s relentless, kissing and worshipping, and soon pleasure crests in my body, a wave rising up, rushing to the shore. I let go of his hair, grab at the wall, and shudder. A long gust of breath escapes my lips.
I rock against him, losing myself to the moment, losing my mind to this connection.
And nothing feels like we’re getting swept up in a moment or a mistake.
