I look around and see that she doesn’t have a bathtub. I walk over and set her down on the counter, right next to the sink, before I walk over and start the shower. She might not have a bathtub but her shower is huge with a glass door. I walk back over to her; the tears have stopped and she follows me. I push the hair away from her face. “Baby”—my voice comes out soft—“you are so strong.”
“You waited for me.” She looks up at me, her eyes searching mine.
“Yeah,” I say, my fingertips touching her cheek and then going to her chin.
“Why?” she asks the loaded question. The same question I’m sure every single person in my family probably wanted to ask me today, but didn’t. She puts her hands on my hips as I stand in the middle of her legs. “Why did you wait there?”
“You were there,” are the only words that I can come up with, the only words that matter. My heart speeds up so fast, my mouth waters with the need to taste her. My hands shake as they trace her face.
“What does that mean?” She moves her face back and forth to feel my fingers.
“We need to get you in the shower.” I avoid telling her what it means, not sure she’s ready for me to give her everything. Not even sure I’m ready to admit that this thing with us is what dreams are made from. That this thing between us is what the fairy tales I read to my nieces are about. That this thing between us is forever. She’s my forever.
I haven’t kissed her yet, and yet I know. I pick her up and place her on her feet. She never lets her eyes linger from me. I bend down and rub my nose with hers, my lips getting so close to hers I can feel her breath on me. I pull her jacket off her shoulders, letting it slide to the floor by her feet. I bend my head and kiss her shoulder softly. “All night long,” I say, moving the kisses up to her neck. “I pictured you alone.” I swallow the lump that forms, pushing it back down. “I felt like I was missing a piece of me.” I step away from touching her to pull the silky top over her head. Throwing it at her feet next to the jacket, she stands here in her strapless black bra. My hands go to the button of her white jeans, unsnapping them, the sound of the zipper echoes in the air. The steam from the shower now fills the room. I push the pants over her hips, squatting down in front of her slowly. Stopping to kiss her hip bone softly, before rolling her pants down to her feet. “Step out,” I say, and she steps from her jeans and kicks them with the other clothes. She stands in front of me in her bra and panties and I’ve never been more turned on in my life. My cock strains against my pants to get out to her. My hands go to her neck. “If you weren’t getting bailed out today,” I say, “I was going to do whatever I needed to get to you.” Her mouth opens in shock. “I didn’t care, the only thing I wanted was to touch you,” I say, my head lowers a touch, “make sure you were okay.” A little bit more. “Make you know that I wasn’t going anywhere.”
I can taste her kiss when she puts her hands on my hips, gripping my shirt in her hand. “I was in a daze,” she tells me. “I had no idea what time it was.” She moves her hands higher up on my side, the T-shirt still clutched in her hand. “No idea what was going to happen.” She moves the shirt over my head and tosses it on the floor. Her fingers move up my chest, the goose bumps fill my body. “I was numb.”
When her hands go to the button of my pants, I can’t help but call, “Julia.” Her name is like a plea on my lips. She ignores me, my eyes watching her hands unbutton my pants. A little hiss comes from me when she turns her hand and palms my cock as she pulls the zipper down. I feel as if my skin is on fire. Every single touch is elevated, every single movement is one more piece of me being ready to be snapped. She pushes my pants open, stepping even closer to me as she pushes the pants past my hips and they fall to the floor at my feet. I pull down my pants kicking them toward the pile. She unclips her bra, tossing it to the side as she slips from her panties. She stands in front of me totally naked.
