HER IRRESISTIBLE STUBBORNNESS DOESN'T DETER HIM, as he knows full well that she'll be craving him as much as he craves her after the disagreement of the day. Amply proven by her lack of resistance as he sinks her down on him, her eagerness to get things moving along; the noises escaping her make him serve to make him hungrier. He has been starved of her touch today. ❛ I want to enjoy myself, ❜ he murmurs as he shifts his attention onto the bare skin of her back, littering gentle kisses down the length of her spine, arms tightening around her waist as he holds her steady. Her impatience is evident, deliciously satisfying, but he will make this well worth her wait. The water is warm as it laps around his hips, but she is warmer, the connection of their bodies an irrepressible heat. One hand strokes down her thigh before gripping it tightly, fingers making a mark, and his other curves around the ridge of her hip. Torturously slow, he pushes upwards with his hips, deepening inside her, whilst applying pressure on her hip to meet it. The feel of her around him has him opening his mouth against her back, words breathed into her skin; ❛ Aren't you always telling me patience is a virtue? ❜
