Bang Bang You (Paul Stanley x reader)

Part 18

Rolling to your side, you were trying to catch your breath, and looked at the time on the clock, taking it in your hand not believing the time.

"What time exactly did you come back?" you questioned, as you felt Paul move closer to your side.

"Early afternoon, but I didn't wake you up for a bit. You were looking really peaceful out in the backyard." he answered, as he took the clock from your hand, and stretched over you to place it back on the nightstand, as you rolled onto your back, smiling up at him.

"So we've been going at it for awhile. I'm still surprised--"

"That I would sleep with you while you are on the "demon". Told you there were perks. Plus I would be more than happy to help every month." he said as he bent down to kiss you.

"Only cause I'm horny as hell."

"And the way you wrap around my co--" he started to say as your hand went to cover his mouth as he started laughing, as you pushed him off of you. And he continued laughing, as you looked down and saw that he more than prepared for this, not just with the towel but another one, as you slipped it over you.

"Would love to continue the talk but I'm taking a shower." you said as you went to your duffel bag to grab a change of clothes, mainly underwear and walked to  the bathroom, cringing at how quickly the atmosphere changed.

Or at least what you thought was a change because as soon as you went to close the door behind you, he was opening it throwing the other towel in the hamper with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry if I--"

"What? You do have a point cuddling after isn't as intimate in the situation. Doesn't mean I still don't want to join you in the shower though. Unless you don't want me to. Because I can easily go to another room and shower I get it. It was 50/50 that you would even do it." He said with a smile, as you bit your lip.

"Yeah I think we're gonna have to work on that. Baby steps. Is that ok?" you question, feeling guilty since you went and had sex with him, multiple times and now you didn't wanna take a step of showering together.

"It's fine. Relax and take a bath. There's things under the counter. Then I'll see about making us something for a late lunch." he said with a wink as he went to close the door behind you, and you could hear drawers rattling as he went to grab clothes.

You were sitting in the bathtub, staring up at the ceiling lost in your thoughts.

Why did you do it other than being horny as hell. Especially for the first time together? You thought, as you sighed, replaying the look on his face when you rejected him about being in the shower together, trying to find something that told you that he didn't like what you had to say.

But he seemed fine with it and understanding. Probably knowing that it would be awkward for you.  As you sighed, still surprised at how ok he was about having sex with you while you were on the "demon". Which made your mind go a different route.

If he was so okay with it that means he's done that with other women. You thought, as a streak of jealousy started coursing through you at the thought of the other women that he's been with. Especially being a part of KISS, meant that there were a lot of women.

You sighed, feeling even worse, shifting up in the bath and turning the faucet on just a bit to cycle more hot water in.

What if he's only with me because of my father, like a jab at him. Or if he's with me because he thinks I'm naive. You thought again, the fleeting feelings that you had before you came into the bathroom just slipping away.

Now that your brain wasn't on cloud nine.

You bit your lip thinking about that though. He did have a point, since then no cramps and you felt relatively better than this morning.

Even before his little visit out to the backyard to wake me. You thought, as you felt your face heat up at all the thoughts as you smiled.

No he wouldn't do that unless he really liked me. You thought, trying to erase the negative ones away, just as there was a knock on the door.

"Hey, are you decent?"

"Not exactly but I think we're kinda past that now right?" you questioned in return, as the door opened up and Paul smiled down at you from the bubbles that were surrounding you in the bath.

"You look comfortable."

"You look, dressed." you countered with a smile, as he raised a brow at that as he looked down at himself, now dressed in a shirt and jeans, which you did like seeing him in other than the suits from before.

"I detect a hint of disappointment, you know I could just--" he went as his hands went to the bottom of his shirt to take it off.

"No, no, just more I guess surprised. But why would I be surprised. You probably too like 3 minutes in the shower." you said as you leaned back against the tub and closed your eyes.

"Oh I took longer than that, quite longer." he said as his voice dipped lower, as your mind went into the gutter at what that would have meant.

He cleared his throat as you smiled, which gave you answer enough what had preoccupied him in the shower.

You opened your eyes and looked over at him expectantly.

"And?"

"And I came in here to tell you that lunch is ready when you are. But take your time." he said as he took the couple steps into the bathroom to lean down and kiss you before leaving, closing the door behind him.

"God, it's gonna take me forever to not overthink him, isn't it?" you questioned, feeling that sense of anxiety and overthinking come back at you, as you sighed, slowly getting up from the bath and pulling the plug and stepping out to get changed into clothes. Just wondering what else would be brought up today with him that would surprise you.
