Bellissimo Angelo - Book Three

Chapter 17 - Shower

Dominic's POV

I turn the lever in the shower to allow the water to heat up while she pulls out her toothbrush from her bag to brush her teeth. I am frozen where I stand for a moment, admiring her perfect body as she stands before the mirror, oblivious to where my eyes fall to the perfect shape of her hips. She truly is a work of art. I simply can't keep my eyes off her. 

After she is finished, she spins around to approach me, smiling ear to ear as she notices where my eyes wander.  I force myself from my lustful fantasy and walk past her to brush my teeth as she steps into the shower. How lucky am I to have this beautiful woman in my shower? In my life? She is intoxicating.

Afterward, I approach the shower, and I can hear her humming a melody as I pull the curtain to step in behind her as the water cascades down around her body. I reach for her loofah, pour body wash on it, and begin washing her back. I lean in to whisper into her ear." Sing for me, Bella." 

She belts out nervous laughter, "What do you want me to sing?" she asks before clearing her throat. 

"I do not care. Sing whatever comes to mind." I tell her as I continue washing her backside. 

She inhales audibly, "Well, okay, but don't laugh." 

"I do not laugh whenever you sing," I reply, attempting to reassure her.  

She clears her throat and begins, "Wise men say...only fools rush in...but I can't help falling in love with you."

Ahhhh! I glance down at my arms as the hair on my body stands straight up. She is absolutely incredible! I wrap my arms around her as she continues belting out the most beautiful version of the song I have ever heard. 

"Like a river flows...surely to the sea...darling, so it goes...some things are meant to be..."

I think this has to be my favorite song I've heard her sing thus far. As she finishes, she spins around anxiously, "Have you heard that song before? Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley?" she asks. 

I swallow hard, "Oh yes, I've heard it before. I like the way you sing it better, Bella. You are spectacular!" 

Her cheeks flush, and she glances down to avoid eye contact with me, "My Gran loved Elvis Presley. She had me sing this for her as well." 

I reach up and place my hands on her shoulders, "Your Gran was a smart woman. She knew true God-given talent when she saw it." I tell her as I scoop the soap suds with my index finger from her shoulder and playfully dap it on the tip of her nose. 

She laughs and wipes the soap suds from her nose, "That song is my favorite song that I have heard you sing. My heart is beating so fast." I tell her as I reach up and place my hand over my heart.

"Really? You like it?" 

"Like it? I love it! My heart is soaring. See... look. I have goosebumps." I tell her as I lift my arm to show her. She glances at my arm and grazes her hand across my forearm,  "We have the acoustics in the shower, your beautiful voice echos all around us." I lean in and wrap my arms around her and pull her in, lightly pressing my lips against hers. 

"Are you ready for work tonight?" she asks. 

"Yes, I will be there with you. That is all I need." 

She begins to run her index finger along my chest, "Well, we have to try to keep our hands off each other as much as possible, so nobody notices. That's pretty difficult for me to do lately. All I've wanted to do is put my hands all over you." 

I chuckle as I embrace her, "I like that... I feel the same as you. I will try my very best, but I can not promise anything." 

"Me too."
