Saving Max

Chapter 18

"I'm going to go take a shower." I announce, slowly picking myself up from my position on the couch, sending a weak smile in Caden's direction. He reaches for my hand, playing with my fingers a little, grabbing my attention enough for me to still for a minute.

"Do you want some company?" he asks, making breathy laugh leave my throat as I lean down and leave a lingering kiss on his lips, the action causing a lazy smile to form on his face.

I think for a second before nodding my head, trying my best to look at least a little bit seductive as I tighten my fingers around his hand, dragging him up off the couch and towards the bathroom. His eyes are wide as he watches me, racking up and down my body at what he thinks he's about to have.

Silly, silly boy.

Once we reach the bathroom, I close the door behind us, our bodies barely being able to fit in the small space, and push him down on the toilet seat.

"You'll be staying right here." I instruct, patting his shoulder lightly before stepping in to the shower, closing the curtain  so that I'm hidden from view. "I get really lonely and bored when I'm all alone. We can talk while I bathe, if that's okay."

As I talk, the corner of my lips upturn, knowing that all I really want to do is mess with his head. It's really fun to do, and now that I'm dating him, it gives me the right to do it more frequently than I did before, which is awesome. It's probably going to be my favorite thing to do, honestly. Caden's just so fun to mess with.

"You're going to be the death of me." he murmurs, just as I throw my shirt over the curtain, soon flowed by my underwear. Turning around so that I can start the shower, I hear Caden let out a low groan, probably staring at the thin, black, lacy material that's now lying on the ground in front of him.

"If I knew that you had those on I would've taken you before we even got through the door. Fuck, Bell." Caden's voice is louder so that I can hear him over the loudness of the running shower and the thudding sound of the water hitting the tub, his words not dialing to bring a bright red blush to my cheeks

It's the way he says it, and the simple, pure seduction of his words, that makes my heart race a mile a minute in anticipation and need. And with how animalistic and rough it sounds, it makes me hot all over again. Sometimes it's nice to hear that a guy wants to go slow with you, take his time as he makes love to you; but other times you just want him to rip you're cloths off and take you against the door, and this was definitely one of those times.

"Caden." I warn shakily, my voice barely finding it's way out of my mouth finding it's way out of my mouth as I squirt some shampoo in to my hands, starting to rub it deep in to my scalp.

"I'm sorry, it's .....wow." he sounds flustered, almost like he's shaking his head to himself. "It's just so weird. There's been all this time that I've liked you, but I had to keep it to myself, and now I can just be with you, and say things like this to you, and it's the best feeling ever."

I let out a little bubble of a laugh, the sound echoing off the old, slightly molded tiles of the bathroom walls. "I like it, too, but I have a feeling that if you keep talking like this then I'm going to go insane."

"We don't want that." he says lightly, clearing his throat as he thinks for a minute, the room going quiet until he speaks again. "I bought cake mix yesterday at the store."

I furrow my eyebrows at the change of subject, noticing just how adorably strange the boy sitting outside of the shower is. One minute he's the I'm-going-to-take-you-in-every-room-of-the-house guy and the next he's the I'm-the-cutest-boyfriend-you'll-ever-have-let's-go-meet-the-parents type. Personally, I like both equally.
