AMARI
HOT & WET
Icouldn’t believe that Ruby agreed to join me in the shower with her panties and bra on. Although I wanted to see all of her, I would take what she gave me.
“Let me get the shower ready for you.” Ruby pushed back the abstract black and gray cloth curtain and turned the lever handle to the hottest setting.
She leaned back, trying to prevent her pinned-up hair from getting wet.
I reached behind me and picked up the oversized mauve shower cap hanging on a silver hook.
“Here. I know enough about Black women’s hair to respect your hairstyle. You’re sexy no matter what you have on your head.” I handed it to Ruby, who smiled appreciatively.
“Thank you.” Ruby smirked and placed the shower cap on her head, tucking loose strands of hair securely under the elastic.
Her loose robe slipped off her body completely and pooled on the floor, giving me a front row view of her luscious skin.
“Your body is everything.” I rubbed my hands together and bit my lip, taking in the lacy red bra I got a peek of in the kitchen.
My eyes traveled to Ruby’s dark nipples that poked through the lace and the symmetrical areolas that almost matched the deep color of her underwear.
Her exposed stomach revealed just enough flesh for me to wonder what she’d look like splayed across my oversized king-size bed.
Since the fabric of her panties covered her crotch, I didn’t get a full peek of her mound, but I imagined it was just as pretty as the rest of her.
“Turn around.” I held Ruby’s waist and gestured for her to turn.
When she did, I hissed like a snake. Who knew Ruby Starks’ ass sat so high and that I could bounce a quarter off it?
“Damn, woman. Why were you hiding all that junk in your trunk from a brother?” I shook my head and whistled.
She had the nerve to wiggle her behind a little before slapping her right butt cheek and grabbing a handful of it before releasing it.
“You like it for real?”
Ruby gave me the cutest little smile that made me want to gobble her up like a feast.
“What you think?” I pointed to my semi-erect penis.
The pleased look on Ruby’s face confirmed that she liked what she saw too.
“Mr. Snowden, I need you to get in the shower before the water gets cold.”
Ruby gave me a stern look and gestured to the tub. Steam wafted out, soon filling the room. She stepped back and allowed me to pass.
“Yes, Ms. Starks.”
When I patted her butt before stepping into the tub, Ruby jumped.
“Keep your hands to yourself, Mr. Snowden.”
“Yes, Ms. Starks.”
Ruby’s smile shined so bright I wanted to pinch her cute cheeks.
I held my hand out, inviting Ruby in with me. She entered and pulled the curtain close behind her as warm water pummeled my back.
“Will you lather me up?” I gave Ruby my washcloth.
She squirted a generous amount of vanilla-scented bodywash onto my square cloth and reached for my shoulders. When she didn’t touch me, I reached for her arm and placed her hand on my chest.
“Relax and come closer. I won’t bite.”
Ruby stepped closer.
“What if I want you to?” She kept her eyes on my chest and initiated circular motions over my upper body with the washcloth.
“You’re not ready for all that, baby girl. Trust me.”
Ruby shrugged.
“If you say so.”
Her motions widened over my body as she cleaned my neck, then lowered the washcloth to my abs. She lingered at my waist a long time as water dampened her underwear, which now clung to her like a second skin.
I lowered my lips to her ear and bit the tip before whispering into it. “Are you going to wash me everywhere?”
Ruby slowly dipped the washcloth to the tip of my erect penis. Within seconds, she rubbed the cloth down the base of my shaft and cupped my balls through the cloth.
“Open your legs, Amari. I believe in doing a thorough job when I work.”
I widened my stance as Ruby massaged my dick with her hand and followed it with her warm washcloth. I bent forward and placed my hands on the wet fabric of the seat of her panties, teasing underneath the lace with my fingers as water streamed over my back.
“If you don’t want me to squirt my cum on you, I advise you to slow down, sweetheart.”
“We’re already in the shower, so I’ll just have to clean you again.”
Ruby’s wicked little smile made me wonder what other tricks she could show me. Before I could ask, she removed the cloth and laid it on the narrow shelf on the wall.
“I’ll give you a reprieve . . . for now. Let me shampoo your hair with this tea tree shampoo. Tilt your head down.”
Ruby squirted a couple of pumps of the tingly shampoo in her hand and massaged my short hair with her fingers. When her nails scratched my scalp, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. She rubbed the hair around my edges and at the base of my neck until it tingled too.
“You have a nice grade of hair, as my grandmother would say. I see where Aspen’s pretty tresses came from.”
Ruby’s words made me smile as I realized how familiar she already was with my angel. If I pursued whatever we were doing beyond tonight, I wouldn’t have to worry about Aspen and Ruby forming a solid relationship.
Ruby reached for my ears and tilted my head up. I closed my eyes as the lukewarm water rushed down my face.
“Here’s some leave-in conditioner. It will keep your hair nice and soft.” Ruby repeated her motions from earlier, but this time putting extra love and care into her soothing scalp massage.
Never had I been pampered so beautifully by a woman who asked for nothing in return. Ruby’s attention to detail and generosity told me everything I needed to know about her. She wore her heart on her sleeve and who wasn’t afraid to share herself with someone who treated her the right way.
Ruby reached behind me a final time and turned off the shower. As we faced each other, the stillness of the moment overtook me. I searched Ruby’s eyes as she peered into mine. I couldn’t let this time pass without tasting her sweet lips again.
When I dove into Ruby’s mouth, she reached for my neck and held it steady. Her lips timidly explored mine until I circled her waist and pulled her body flush to mine.
“Thank you for taking care of me.” I whispered the words into her partially opened mouth.
“You make it easy.”
I pressed my forehead into her and closed my eyes.
“Let me dry you off.” Her words pulled me from my trance as she pushed the curtain back.
She stepped out first and hung up her shower cap before reaching for an oversized body towel. She opened it wide and dried off my chest when I exited.
“Turn for me.”
With the greatest of care, she rubbed my back, firmly pressing into my slightly sore back muscles.
“Oh, . . . that feels divine. Are you sure you’re not a massage therapist?”
Ruby’s little giggle made my heart skip a beat.
“I’m not, but I give my students lots of hugs to comfort them. Maybe some of that translates to how I connect to people.”
Ruby squatted to dry off my legs. When we both realized her mouth was inches from my crotch, she rose and cleared her throat. She turned her head toward the door and held the towel up like a shield.
“Maybe you should do the rest.”
I accepted the towel and lowered it again, closing the distance between us as I dried myself off. I wrapped the towel around my waist, making sure that my penis touched Ruby’s stomach through the terry cloth.
“You’re wet too. Do you need help getting out of those clothes?” I traced my finger down her cleavage.
When I gently circled her breasts with my thumbs, her breath caught.
“No . . . Go into my bedroom and wait on the couch. I’ll dry off in here and grab a nightgown from my closet.”
Once again, Ruby was close to pushing me over the edge. I respected her apprehension, given her history, and would follow her lead. Even if she didn’t fulfill my desire for us to explore each other more, I already enjoyed our time together.
“OK. See you in a few.” I brushed my finger over her cheek and then kissed it.
She blushed and gave me a smile that would be etched in my memory for months to come. Like her name, Ruby was a precious gem who deserved to be cherished.
