“Christ, I know that would be the sensible thing to do,” he rasped. “But I lost my ability to be sensible when I saw all your lovely skin, and only a towel covering the other luscious parts.”

His blue eyes moved to her mouth, and Piper fought the urge to lick her lips.

“You’re beautiful.” He lifted a hand, wrapped it around the back of her head, and using his thumb he tilted her chin to the exact right angle. His lips when they touched hers were cool, but had her hot in seconds. It was a kiss of ruthless urgency. A kiss that stripped her resistance and urged her to take what he offered.

“If you tell me to go I will, but if not, let me share your shower.” He breathed the words against her lips.

Piper’s head spun with the scent of Dylan. Her stomach clenched at the thought of his hands on her, and what they would do to each other in that shower.

She couldn’t speak; instead she reached for the hem of his sweatshirt. Raising it, he took over and tore it off, He then stripped off the rest of his clothes with more haste than care.

Piper had slept with a few men, two if she was honest, and both she had respected, and yes, cared for. She knew this man would be different. The carnal need inside her had to be snuffed out, and to do that they had to do this... she had no name for it, this inferno that was building inside her as she ran her eyes over his big, solid body.

“Y-you need to work out more.” She touched his stomach, placing her hand flat on the solid surface and stroking him lightly. The muscles ran down the front, then on the sides forming a V downward. She traced the line of hair to his groin. The breath hissed from his throat as she continued down his thigh, the muscles clenching as she touched.

“I’ve wanted your touch since I saw you that day in the diner.” His hand was in her hair, urging her lips to meet his again. What followed was explosive and left them both panting. Piper was soon pressed to hard, naked flesh. She felt his need for her, ached to feel him inside her.

He lifted her into his arms, then opened the shower door and walked them inside. Lowering her down his body, he adjusted the jets and temperature.

“Only this once,” Piper managed to say.

“Once won’t be enough,” he rasped.

He backed her into the wall, raising her hands above her head, and kissed her. Long and hot, his tongue tangled with hers, and Piper gripped his fingers hard as they tormented each other. She met his every move and countered.
