Slowly, the second wave of pulsations to have crashed through her settled and Becky drifted back to earth.

Her face was buried in Emiliano’s neck and when she turned to breathe she was surprised to find the shower still spraying over their fused bodies.

When he shifted she held her only just regained breath as the aftermath of their first coupling suddenly played in her mind. When he moved the arm wrapped so tightly around her, fear swiftly clutched her heart.

She didn’t think she could bear it if the beauty of what they’d just shared was tarnished with anger and recriminations. Not again.

Only when the shower stopped did she realise he’d moved so he could turn it off, but her relief lasted seconds for he pressed his lips to her forehead before pulling out of her and getting to his feet.

Cold at the abrupt loss of his heat and suddenly self-conscious of her nakedness, she pressed her thighs together and twisted away, afraid to look at him.

Becky heard him walk away and squeezed her eyes shut. She must not cry. Not until she was in the privacy of her own room with the door locked.

She kept them closed even when she heard his footsteps near her again, bracing herself.

A hand slid between her back and the tiled wall and gently pulled her forward, then the softest, warmest, fluffiest towel was wrapped around her. Strong arms held her securely before she was lifted up and carried effortlessly into the bedroom.

There, Emiliano sat her on the sofa and pressed another kiss to her forehead. ‘Wait one second,’ he murmured in a hoarse voice.

When he returned from the bathroom he’d wrapped a towel around his waist and carried another in his hands. He sat beside her and put the fresh towel against her hair. Working with infinite patience and without a single word being exchanged, he towel-dried it in sections until her chestnut locks no longer dripped everywhere.

Done, he stared at her before placing a finger under her chin and pressing a tender kiss to her mouth.

‘I shall get food. Don’t go anywhere,’ he said in the same hoarse voice.

She nodded, still too choked with emotion to speak.

He disappeared into his dressing room, re-emerging wearing a pair of faded jeans and carrying a maroon towelling robe. He handed it to her with a smile before giving her another kiss and strolling out of the door.

Alone, Becky took a minute to gather herself before slipping into the giant robe. It trailed to her ankles and the sleeves needed rolling three times to stop them dangling past her hands, and yet there was something comforting and intimate in wearing something that was his. Gathering her towels into her arms, she carried them to the bathroom to hang on the towel-warmer, aware with every step of the tenderness between her noodly legs.

She looked in the mirror. The flushed face staring back at her had the dazed look of someone who’d been made love to.
