Breathe

Chapter 41

"You were broken glass but I still touched you even though I knew I would get hurt." -Unknown

"Wait, the bathroom down the hallway is better," Luke says.

"Oh, okay," I say. He leads me out of the bathroom, out of his room, and further down the hallway. I swear this house is endless. I've never actually seen every room, only probably half of them. Someday I'll ask for a full tour.

He turns the handle on a door and pushes it open. A bathroom three times the size of Luke's is revealed. 

"Why is the guest bathroom bigger than yours?" I ask and he shrugs.

The entire bathroom is covered, wall and flooring, with dark tiles. The darker look makes it feel. in a strange way, more comfortable. The shower in the back of the room is a large square with glass walls and a dark tiled floor. I've always loved the look of showers that have see-through walls. There's also a large bathtub in the corner that could fit multiple people. How have I never seen this bathroom before? It's beautiful.

"Better?" he asks.

"Yes." A hot shower sounds beyond comforting at the moment. I'm still a little tired, so this should wake me up as much as possible. 

I quickly strip off, but Luke finishes taking off his clothes in the half the time it takes me. His eyes greedily scan my body multiple times and I blush. This is a giant step in self-confidence for me. I've never done anything like this with a boy before. Luke enters the shower and starts the water, waiting for it to turn hot.

"Wait," I say and hold up my finger. "I need a towel."

"Why?"

"To go to your room."

"There's no one else home to see you," he says.

"It would still be weird walking through your house naked," I say. He rolls his eyes, but smiles, and points at a door in the corner. I open it to find dark colored towels sitting in tall stacks. After wrapping one around my body, I walk out of the bathroom and into Luke's room. I grab his new bluetooth speakers and rush back to the bathroom.

I stand impatiently while I wait for my phone to connect to the speakers. There are too many damn playlists on my phone to choose from. I should organize them later when I have free time. The music starts playing through the speakers quite loudly. The large bathroom makes the music echo throughout the room.

I drop the towel from my body and join him in the shower. He grabs my waist and pulls me close to his body. "It was getting lonely in here," he winks and kisses me.

"Well I thought we could use some music," I whisper and duck under the water, letting the water completely cover my body. I pull his body towards mine as I step backwards, soaking his body, head to toe, in water. His hair flattens and covers his eyes. I reach up and swipe it off of his forehead so his eyes meet mine.

"You are flawless," he whispers, and despite the loud music, I can hear him clearly. I blush out of habit.

"As are you," I say and wink, turning away from him. I grab the shampoo and pour a small amount into the palm of my hand. I massage it into my hair.

"There's only girl shampoo in this shower?"

"I guess.

"I can't use that. I'm going to smell like a fucking dandelion," he says and I laugh, hard.

"Well, that sucks for you," I say, still laughing.

He grabs the bottle of shampoo with an annoyed face and uses some in his hair. "Stop frowning," I say and grab his face, pulling it to mine and pressing his lips to mine. I try to deepen the kiss but he pulls away too quickly. He pushes my body backwards towards the water. I close my eyes as water cascades over my hair, rinsing away the shampoo. I reach for him and pull his body to mine so the water covers both of our bodies.

"Let me wash your body," he says softly. I nod.

His hands reach for the soap and he lathers some into his hands. He begins at my collarbones and makes his way down a few inches. When he reaches my breasts, he massages them with a rougher touch. He uses one hand to pinch my nipple and I moan involuntarily. Why did he stop? Dammit, Luke. He continues down my body, stopping at my hips. His lips attach to my skin at he softly nips at the skin on each side of my hips. He really knows how to tease me. I roll my eyes. His hands make one long stripe down my legs, and he stands back up in front of me.

"Clean enough," he says with a smile.

"You don't play fair."

"How so?"

"You were teasing me," I frown. He shrugs his shoulders and doesn't deny it. I narrow my eyes at him but he brushes it off. "You know, I thought we'd be doing something else by now."

"Oh, really?" he says and raises an eyebrow.

"Yeah," I mumble and smile. "So…"

"So, what?"

"I want to..you know..again," I say and avoid his eye contact.

"I'm not sure what you're talking about," he says in a very sarcastic tone.

"You know, have sex, or fuck. Whatever you want to call it."

"That's dangerous in a shower," he says.

"We can be careful," I say, fluttering my eyelashes rapidly and pouting my lip.

"I'm not putting you in danger," he says.

"You're no fun."

He leans forward into my ear and whispers quietly, "After we finish showering, deal?"

"Deal," I whisper back while the speaker is in the middle of changing songs. I grab the bottle of conditioner and finish washing my hair. Luke turns off the water and I'm instantly colder.

We wrap towels are wrapped around our bodies. After returning to the room, I realize I have no clothes to change into. I need to remember to bring some over since I'm here half of the time anyways.

"Luke?" A woman's voice appears at the door along with three soft knocks. His mother.

"Yeah?"

"Could you come watch Jake while your father and I go out for the day?"

"Sure," he says and the footsteps disappear.

"So much for no one being home," I say.

"I didn't think anyone was," Luke mumbles and shrugs his shoulders.

"So, Anne's not here to watch Jake?" I ask.

"No, she had some sort of emergency come up. So, raincheck on the sex?" he asks and winks, changing the mood again.

"Yeah," I say and giggle as we get dressed in Luke's clothes to go watch Jake for the afternoon.
