Guardians of the Galaxy (Peter Quill x Reader)

Chapter Eight

Peter retrieves his clothes from you and sends you off to a quiet space in the ship where you can privately shower and change out of your dreadful prison clothes. Kindly, he offers up some of his own clothing so you don't have to wear your dirtied garments from the previous day. After he knows you're taken care of, he retreats to his sleeping quarters to shower and change as well. The others have already gotten ready and are doing their own thing around the Milano.

The warm water feels good against your skin during your shower and it's nice to clean yourself with something other than the orange liquid used to wash you down at the prison. Scoping through the cabinets and drawers in the bathroom, you find suitable supplies to brush and dry your hair as well as anything to touch up your appearance. Naturally, you assume women have left a few items during their nights spent on the Milano. It's either that or Peter puts in a lot of work to look good.

Peter sits on his bed and tugs the weird prison shoes off. He pulls off the hideous, yellow pants and shirt, wearing nothing but the gray briefs the guards had sprayed him down in at the prison. He removes those as well. A calming shower feels nice for him, easing his stress and giving him a sense of refreshment. After he's clean and dry, he pulls on a different pair of briefs that are navy blue this time. He puts on a pair of pants and slips into some clean socks, which he covers with his regular boots. He clips on a belt, keeping his pants tight. Placing his holster, gun, and walkman on his belt, he snags a dark gray shirt from the laundry. As he pulls it over his head, he hears some noise from the hallway and glances outside.

That's when he sees you.

You're oblivious to the fact that he can currently see you and are just casually changing into your clothes, starting by yanking off the towel you wrapped yourself in after the shower. As it bunches around the lower part of your body, your freshly dried hair bounces a little before it falls elegantly over your shoulders. You glance down at the pile of clothes beside you. Your bra still has an orange tinge from when you were washed off, so you decide against wearing it at all, simply tossing it aside.

Peter takes a few steps closer to you, the floor creaking below him. He cringes at the sound, but only slightly because his mouth is still agape at the sight in front of him. Sure, it's only your bareback that's exposed, but that gives him just enough to use his imagination on what you might look like completely naked. Suddenly gaining the sense that something is moving behind you, you turn your head around quickly and immediately stop getting dressed. You see him watching you now and he knows you can see him, but neither of you can look away. Unintentionally, you seem to have an innocent look on your face, as if you had just been caught dumbfounded doing something you shouldn't be doing. It's a look that is driving Peter wild. In awe, he can only seem to move in slow motion, steadily adjusting the shirt he just pulled on over his exposed abs. He keeps his eyes on your every move.

You give Peter a soft smile, one that he returns with a sexy smirk. You turn your torso a bit and use your arm to cover her chest, not ready to completely expose yourself to him at the moment. Yet, you decide to have some fun in the current situation even if it is not as great as the fun the two of you could be having. He walks closer to you as your grin widens. This gets him excited and he tries to get you faster, only to have you slam the door in his face.

"Perv!" you proclaim playfully with a giggle. Peter just groans in response, leaning his back against the closed door and sliding down it. He rests his elbows on his knees and puts his head in his hands. Peter has seen plenty of women undress before, and he's probably even seen too many to count. He has been with numerous kinds of women too: Xandarians, Rajaks, Kree girls, and yes, one A'askavariian. He is undeniably an experienced player with a long string of one night stands, so why does the sight of you topless get him so worked up? Is it because he's never been with another Terran before? Or is it because he may actually have feelings for you?
