22. Emmett
The next morning, we busy ourselves with coffee and movies, enjoying each other’s company. Even though Marcy and Lucy already know about us, the guys don’t. And no one knows that I’m actually quitting acting. Everyone assumes the article was false, or at least they let me believe they think that.
“We have an hour until they get here,” I say, standing up from the couch to grab a drink from the kitchen.
“I’m already stressing out about it.” Cassie leans her head back on the couch, closing her eyes and releasing a big sigh.
I walk over from the kitchen and lean to kiss her neck from behind. “Want to go shower before everyone gets here?” I whisper in her ear. She nods.
We walk to the end of the hall and enter the bathroom. I turn on the shower, turning the knob to make the water hot but not too hot. Comfortable enough for the both of us.
The faint brush of air against my back alerts me to Cassie”s presence as she steps behind me. Her hands find the bottom hem of my shirt. I lift up my hands and help her take it off. As she places her hands gently on my back, she traces small circles with her fingertips. When I turn around, I’m met with the sight of her standing there, entirely naked.
I lift an eyebrow. I don’t know when she found time to do that, and she must see my shock and awe because she chuckles.
Cassie traces more circles around my chest, leaning in to leave small kisses on her trail. Her hands find the band of my pants and she tugs them down, kisses still following her every move.
Her little touches and kisses are enough to make me come, but luckily after being with her for the past month, I’ve kept myself together long enough to enjoy more time with her like this. Our intimacy is nothing like I’ve experienced.
Our emotional intimacy is so strong that it amplifies the physical attraction we have for one another. Every touch is intentional and has meaning.
Before Cassie can continue any further, I pull her back up to standing. “It pains me to say we don’t have time for this, but I’d rather not be inside you when the company arrives.” I give her a kiss on the nose.
She chuckles. “Fair. I guess you’ll have to think of me all night until they leave, hm?” Cassie walks past me and into the shower, teasing me more than she knows just from the sight of her bare ass.
We still fool around enough in the shower and quickly get each other off before I have to remind myself we have people coming over within the hour. There”s not enough time to accomplish everything I want to do to Cassie.
I want to take my time with her, memorizing every area of her body. Know all the ways to make her moan my name. Later.
“I’m glad I didn’t scare you away that night in the diner,” Cassie says to me as we dry off. She’s at one sink while I’m at the other. She pulls out a hair dryer and plugs it in.
“You had me at first eye roll.” I look over at her and wink.
