Herophine: All Good Things

Chapter 31

Jo's POV:

All the blood is rushing to my head with every step Hero takes with me slung over his shoulder. His bare shoulder blade pressing into the space just below my rib cage. I watch his bare feet move across the carpet to the threshold of the bathroom, where he turns on the light and flips me upright to set me on the counter next to the sink, all the while I can't stop laughing.

After another quick kiss, he turns his back for a second to turn on the shower, the sound of water hitting the tile wall and floor taking over the small room. Butterflies invade my stomach as I watch the muscles in his bare back move underneath his skin with his movements and just as I begin to pull my all black, long sleeved shirt over my head, he turns back to me and reaches out to stop my hands.

"I want to," is all he says as he smirks and tugs the fabric over my head, tossing it to the floor just inside the door, followed by the quick undoing of my matching black bra after he soaks in my half naked appearance before him. The cool air and energy between us laced with desire instantly makes my nipples perk, which draws his full attention to my silky bare skin. I continue to sit as still as possible on top of the cold counter top as I wait for his next move.

There's a hunger in his eyes that has my stomach doing backflips. Like he's been famished for far too long and I'm his meal of choice. A look that does unimaginable things to me no matter how many time I've seen it after all this time together.

As the water continues to run and begins to slowly steam up the room around us, he steps between my open legs until he's standing almost flush to me; our bare skin lightly brushing. Hero lowers his forehead back onto mine as he runs his hands from the sides of my hips, over my waistline, up my entire body to my hair where he pulls my hair from the loose pony tail it's been in.

I can feel the softness of my wavy hair as it brushes over my shoulders and back, free of its prior state. Hero watches as it falls effortlessly around me before clutching the space between my neck and my jaw with both hands and crashing his lips onto mine. The kiss is hard and one full of determination. I can almost feel his pent up emotion pouring out from between his lips.

"You have no idea how long I've waited for this," he groans against my parted lips before he dives back in, tongue first into my waiting mouth. Goosebumps rise on my exposed skin as I reciprocate kiss after kiss. Never wanting a reason to stop.

I do know how long. Longer than either of us care to admit. But instead of voicing the words, I moan breathlessly as his lips start to travel down the side column of my neck.

"Hero.." I manage to whisper as his mouth travels further down to my chest. His hands follow suit, skimming down my frame from the tops of my shoulders, down my both arms and to my waist. Suddenly, Hero begins unfastening my jeans, working quickly to undo the lone button. Our breathing heavy as condensation envelops the air.

"As much as I want to savor this moment, I need to feel every inch of myself inside you right now," he pants as he unzips my pants and begins pulling them down my legs.

"So I'm going to fuck you like I need to, and then we'll go again nice and slow," he continues as his eyes raise to mine while his hands work on their own. "So I can worship every part of you're beautiful fucking body."

Hero's words send a thrilling chill down my spine. The amount of pent up need between us is thicker than the steam that has now begun to fog up the mirror behind me. Each second passing building up to what we've both been dying without.

As soon as my jeans have been removed from my body and have joined my shirt and bra on the floor, I help Hero as I shimmy out of my black lace panties and he slips out of his shorts. I reach my hand out to begin stroking him, all the while still sitting on the edge of the counter, even though he's more than ready to go, but before I can begin moving my hand, he hoists me up into his arms and my legs wrap around his waist.
