I lie with Hardin holding me a little while longer before saying, "I really need to take a shower to wash the lake water off me."

"Me, too," he agrees.

"Oh, did you want to go first, then?"

"I thought we could shower together."

"What? No way!"

"And why not?"

"I don't know, it just feels... Well, it's too intimate."

"And what we've been doing isn't?" He makes a valid point.

"Still, it's weird to think of showering together."

"Come on, Tess. I've seen you, you've seen me. The only thing this will change is how much closer we feel to each other."

"I still don't know..."

"Don't make me beg."

"You'd seriously beg for me to shower with you?"

"Yes. I mean, what man wouldn't?"

"Well... okay, Hardin." I don't know how to feel about this. I think he's right and we will feel closer, but I'm still nervous, even after everything we've already done together.

Hardin goes to his dresser and grabs some clean clothes and I wait for him to leave before getting out from under the covers. I'm completely naked and self conscious. I think agreeing to a shower with him was a bad idea. I put on a robe and grab some clean clothes before going to the bathroom to meet him.

When I walk in he's already in the shower and steam is starting to cloud the bathroom. "Tess? Hurry up and get in!"

I reluctantly take off my robe and pull back the shower curtain. I step into the shower and Hardin has his back to me. I try to cover my body as best as I can with my arms as Hardin turns to face me.

"I thought we were past covering up in front of me, Theresa?"

"I... I... feel weird, just standing naked in front of you with no where to hide."

"Why? I've already seen you naked."

"It's different. You were paying attention to... other things, not watching me like you are now."

"Believe me, I was paying attention to every part of you." He winks.

"Hardin! You're not helping me feel less shy about this."

"Okay. Turn around."

"What? Why?"

"Just do it."

I turn so my back is to Hardin and he starts to lightly scrub my skin with vanilla body wash and a loofah. He moves in circles across my back. "Does that feel good?"

"Very good." I nod.

He moves the loofah all around my back, over my shoulders, down my arms and then twirls me around. He gently scrubs across my chest and over my stomach as he looks into my eyes. "Still feel good?"

"Mmm-hmm." There's something about how he can go around threatening to beat everyone up, but whenever he's near me I get this sweet, gentle version of him.

As he continues to lather my body, I look up at him. I brush my thumb back and forth across his cheek as I say, "I love you."

He drops the loofah and wraps his long arms around my body. He pulls me into a wet and sloppy kiss as the shower rains down on us. "I told you, Tess. Don't you feel closer?"

"I do."

As Hardin and I continue to kiss, I feel brave enough to reach down and grab onto his length.

"Fuck, Tess. What are you doing?"

"I just thought I'd reciprocate. Do you want me to?"

"Fuck, yes."

I continue to give Hardin quick and sloppy kisses as the shower rains down on us. I start to slowly move my hand up and down him in long strokes. He seems to enjoy it as he moans into my mouth.

"Faster, Tessa."

"No."

"What?" he asks in shock as he pulls away from kissing me.

"I'm in control right now. Not you," I say as I continue pumping him with my slow pace.

"You've turned into quite the little vixen, Theresa."

"You better be nice or I won't let you finish," I try to say as seductively as I can.

"Okay. You're in control."

"That's better." I apply a bit more pressure to my grip as I move slowly up and down him. Then I switch to shorter, quicker strokes, which he seems to enjoy.

"Tess, I'm going to come soon," he breathes into my ear.

I continue to move quicker and I swipe my thumb over the tip of him. He seemed to like that last time.

"Fuck, Tess..." he moans as he explodes all over my hand.

I watch as the water washes away his orgasm from my hand and then look up to see him with his eyes closed, leaning against the shower wall. "That was so good, Tess," he sighs. "I'm so glad you trusted me enough to shower with me."

I love watching him lose control because of me. "I really enjoyed it, too."

"I've never seen that side of you. It was so fucking hot. You need to be in control more often. I love you so much, baby."

Hardin and I finish cleaning up and I leave the shower feeling closer to him, just like he promised.
