shifted to dig into her ass. His leg inserted between hers, and the muscles in his thigh flexed against her pussy, rubbing over her clit. Her body throbbed and she felt a rush of moisture flood her sex. Oh God. Oh. God. He shoved his fingers into her hair, bending her head back so he could deepen the kiss. It was wild, both of them breathing raggedly, their bodies grinding together.
She felt flakes of mud crack off her cheek and neck as they moved, and the sensual spell broke. She slowed down and pulled her mouth away from his. As much as she wanted to use him as her personal jungle gym, it was a bit gross to consider wallowing on her clean bed this way. “I hate to say this, but I really do need a shower. I’m disgusting.”
He grimaced, glancing down at his mud-splattered clothes. “Yeah, I know what you mean. I don’t want to stop, but…do we really want to call housekeeping and explain why they need to come change your sheets?”
She snorted. “Mud and bodily fluids—it’s how all the popular kids relax these days.”
Eyes narrowing in consideration, he tilted his head. “Showers on this ship aren’t built to fit both of us.”
He was right, she realized. The stall barely fit her alone, and Gabe wasn’t a small man. She arched her hips into his, and felt his erection jerk. Nope, not small anywhere . “That’s too bad, really.”
“I disagree.” He gave her a little push toward the bathroom door. “I am seriously going to enjoy watching you get all naked and soapy.”
She made a wickedly pleased hum in the back of her throat. “I’ll be sure to make the show worth your while.”
Putting extra sway in her hips as she moved, she grinned when he issued a tortured groan. She stripped out of her clothes, feeling the burn of his gaze as surely as if it were a physical touch. Liquid heat poured through her, and her inner muscles clenched in anticipation. It took all her willpower not to say to hell with the filth and jump him. Instead, she flipped on the knob and stepped under the hot spray. He filled the doorway of the bathroom, his arms crossed over his brawny chest as he watched her. The open door let the steam out into the bedroom, so they could see through the glass fairly clearly, see how they affected each other.
Every moment became erotic, every inch of her skin sensitizing as she lathered soap between her palms and slid them over her body. Her nipples pebbled to the point of pain, and she wanted his hands and mouth on them. She turned away from the spray and worked shampoo into her hair, then leaned her head back to let the water rinse the soap away. Rivulets flowed over her face and down her neck and shoulders. She slipped her fingers up her stomach, over her breasts, and into her hair to help get the shampoo out.
“God, that is the sexiest pose I’ve ever seen,” he growled.
Opening her eyes, she saw green fire in his gaze. A flush of lust ran beneath his tanned skin and his chest rose and fell in quick pants. He still looked like a lion, but now one who hunted its prey. A shiver went through her at the thought. She was more than ready for him to pounce.
“Why don’t you undress while I finish up?”
He shrugged out of his jacket and whipped off his untucked shirt. Bending over meant he could unlace his boots and kick them aside. His khakis came off so fast she was surprised he didn’t end up with fabric burn on his legs. And, then, there he was in all his naked glory, and damn, he was even more built than she’d guessed. A light dusting of golden curls stretched between the flat discs of his nipples and arrowed down to below his navel. His cock was a hard, thick arc that made her mouth water. She wanted to slide her tongue down the long, smooth length of him and suck him in her mouth.
Leaving the water running, she stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel. “Make it quick, Warren. I don’t want to wait.”
“You don’t have to tell me twice, Kirby.” He swatted her butt
