Ivy
Killian was already in the bathroom, but his lower half was still clothed.
Ivy stood in the doorway and watched as he stepped into the shower area and turned on the waterfall shower.
Killian slowly turned, and the look of desire in his eyes made Ivy’s insides clench.
His unbuttoned jeans hung dangerously low, revealing the sculpted V of his lower abdomen.
Ivy’s heartbeat thrummed in her chest as she watched him. He stood just outside of the water’s reach and maintained eye contact with her as he pushed his jeans down his legs. He kicked them across the floor as his fingers hooked inside the waistband of his underwear.
She cast her gaze over the elaborate tattoo that spanned across his upper body.
He lowered his underwear agonisingly slowly.
Her eyes drifted down to take in the impressive size of him.
A blush exploded across her cheeks as she saw how ready he was, and when she returned her gaze to Killian’s, the look he gave her was completely indecent.
Killian was now stunningly and gloriously bare before her, and the sight of him made her weak at the knees.
She leaned against the doorway as she watched him step backward into the shower’s spray.
She was mesmerised by the way the water cascaded down his chiselled body, and her desire skyrocketed as he lifted his head to let the water hit his face, his throat deliciously displayed.
“Are you afraid of water or something?” Killian ran his hands through his now-wet hair. He hadn’t returned his gaze to hers, and Ivy had a feeling he enjoyed her watching him.
“You’ve spent a lot of time watching me. I thought it only fair I got to watch you for a while,” Ivy quipped, a playful grin spreading across her features.
“Fair point.” Killian lathered shampoo into his hair. He looked over at her as he rinsed his hair out, a smirk playing on his lips. “But if our places were reversed, I would’ve had you up against the wall before the first drop of water touched your body.”
His words were filled with promise, and it sent a shiver up her spine.
She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and felt the need to look away from the intensity of his stare.
She heard Killian chuckle, and his movement drew her focus once again.
He stepped out of the water to lather his body with soap, and Ivy’s breathing got heavier as she watched on silently.
“If your clothes don’t find their way to the floor in the next three seconds, I’m going to drag you in here fully clothed.” Killian’s voice was rough, and it was tinged with an undercurrent of need that drew her forward like a magnet.
Ivy’s heart raced as she started towards the shower. With trembling hands, she pulled her shirt over her head. Although she wanted to maintain eye contact with Killian as she peeled the rest of her clothing off, she couldn’t help but look away as she was overcome by embarrassment.
Killian sensed her discomfort and stepped out of the water to approach her. He placed his hands over hers, stopping her from pushing her jeans down.
“Hey.” Killian’s voice was gentle. One of his hands moved up to cup her jaw, forcing her to meet his gaze. “I need to hear you say that you want this as much as I do. If you don’t, then this stops here.”
Ivy raked her eyes back up Killian’s body to meet his gaze, and the passion that swam in those swirling pools of black and red made her breath catch.
“This is all I’ve wanted since the last time I was with you,” she breathed, and it seemed to be the confirmation Killian needed.
His hands shifted to wrap around her waist, allowing her to continue pushing her pants down her body.
Killian leaned in to kiss her, and her heart pounded as their lips collided.
The force of his kiss was disarming, causing her to fumble with the removal of the last vestiges of her clothing.
Killian’s hands swept in to assist, and she quickly found herself just as bare as him.
His arms returned to her middle, and he pulled her backward into the shower without breaking the kiss.
He kissed her hungrily as the water crashed around them, and she heard him groan as his tongue began to roam her mouth.
The deepening kiss awakened something within him, and he spun her around to press her against the wall of the shower.
He pulled away, panting, and when their eyes met, Ivy saw his red-and-black irises swirling with lust.
Killian brought his lips to her neck, before continuing a path down her body.
She gasped when his fangs grazed her skin as he nipped and kissed along her collarbone.
Her breath hitched as he ventured lower, and she couldn’t help but cry out in pleasure when his mouth closed around her nipple and sucked.
His hands drifted down her body, one caressed her other breast, while the other moved to her hip to keep her pinned against the wall.
His mouth continued its torturous path downward, and her breathing got heavier the lower he went.
When he dropped to his knees before her, she was practically panting.
He hovered between the apex of her thighs and stared up at her, seeking permission.
The view sent desire spearing through Ivy’s body, and it took such a hold of her that all she could manage was a nod of approval.
Killian lifted her leg to hook it over his shoulder, giving him unfettered access to her flesh. Before Ivy had a chance to compose herself, he swept in and ran his tongue along her pussy, tearing a moan from her throat. She entangled her fingers in his hair as his tongue flicked against her clit.
Ivy’s body pulsed with pleasure as he devoured her like she’d never experienced before.
Not even Leseldh had tasted her in this way.
She looked down to watch him, and the display threatened to push her over the edge.
When he flicked a glance up at her and smirked against her flesh, the mere sight sent her orgasm rocketing through her body.
She threw her head back and moaned as the pleasure ripped through her.
Killian placed a light kiss against the inside of her thigh before he withdrew, easing her leg from his shoulder before rising. Ivy was still out of breath and lost for words when he wrapped his arms back around her waist and pressed gentle kisses against her neck.
“That’s two I owe you now,” Ivy sighed as she let her hands run up and down Killian’s back.
“Don’t you think for one second that I’m done with you yet.” Killian’s voice was a rumble against her neck, and the sound made her knees buckle.
Ivy slowly gained control of her senses before going through the motions of bathing.
She washed her hair and body efficiently, trying to ignore the way Killian watched her hungrily as he leaned against the shower wall.
Once dry, Killian took her hand and led her to the bedroom.
Ivy eyed his backside as he walked ahead of her and her heart rate kicked up once more.
