I blink after Charlie has left the room. For a second, I couldn’t focus because all I could do was watch those beautiful round globes as she walked away. Now there’s an ache deep in my chest. One that tells me I need to go to her.

I’ve never been a toucher after sex. It just doesn’t seem like there’s much point. But it’s different with Charlie. I need to touch her. Need to keep feeling her skin against mine. Need to spend more time with those curves wrapped around me.

Hearing the shower water knocks me out of my trance and I march down the hall. I knock once then without waiting, I’m barreling into the bathroom.

She peers from behind the shower curtain. Her long hair is already wet, and her lips are still swollen from my kisses. “What are you doing?”

“Conserving water,” I answer as I join her in the too tiny bathtub. I pull her naked body against my own, needing her more than I can explain. I’ve needed her for three years and I’ve been too much of a coward to admit that to myself.

She stiffens in my arms, but she doesn’t push against me. Surprise and wariness mix in her tone. “What is this about?”

I want to tell her I love her. I want to tell her that my heart feels like it’s beating for the first time. But I can’t risk pushing her away. Not with that creep out there stalking her. So, I settle for different words and hope my tone communicates what I’m not saying, “I like you, Charlie.”

She relaxes into my embrace then giggles. “I kind of figured that out on the kitchen counter.”

“Let me take care of you.” I guide her under the water and wash her hair. I use that floral shampoo, the scent filling the steamy space. When I’m done, I grab the bar of soap and wash her all over, careful to watch her injured arm. There’s something about doing this. It feels intimate and primal.

The moment this shit with Kyle is resolved, I’m going to have a chat with Elliott. He needs to be there for his sister. He needs to know that I’m going to be there too. And that I’ll be her man from this point forward. Just the thought sends another bolt of lust through me.

After I’ve rinsed my girl, she reaches for the bar of soap. She gives me a shy smile. “My turn.”

Normally, I wouldn’t let anyone touch me. But this is Charlie, the woman I love. The woman whose touch I crave. I nod and let her run her hands all over my body. I stoop in the shower when she reaches for my hair and we splash each other, playing and having fun. It feels like we’re a real couple.

Later, I dry her off and wrap her in a warm towel. I can’t wait to do this together every night. I want her to be secure in the knowledge that I love her and that I’ll always be the man taking care of her.
