Elias steps in front of me and turns on the faucet while I silently marvel at every groove and curve of his back. My eyes find their way down to two cute dimples near the bottom of his spine, and I hopelessly give into to the urge to touch them. Elias startles a little, but I'm not sure if it's because of the burst of cold water rocketing out of the shower head or because of me.
He reaches around and squeezes my reckless hand.
"Sorry. Did the water get you? The pipes are shitty, so it'll be a second before it heats up in here."
Hah. I'm pretty sure it's hot enough as it is, but details.
"It's okay. I can wait," I say.
Elias shoots me a sly smile over his shoulder.
"Can you?"
The low growl in his voice sends shivers through parts of my body I wish I could control. But I can't. Every inch of my skin is throbbing because of him.
"What? Anyway, where's your body wash?
He turns around without warning, warm water streaming down his face, and leans in to the point where there's barely any space left between us.
"Behind you."
He reaches for a bottle just over my head, and I flatten myself against the wall just to keep our bodies from connecting the way they want to.
"Great! Thanks! Actually, I can grab it mys--"
"I got it," he says.
Elias lowers his lips to my ear and kisses the edge of it before dropping the body wash in my hands.
"Can you do this for me?" He asks.
"D-do what? Open the bottle?"
He shakes his head and a billion little water beads cascade down to the shower floor.
