Chapter 34
I worked the lather down her body slowly, over her stomach, her hips, the curve of her waist, the full round of her ass. My fingers slid between her thighs, washing her gently, and she let out a soft sound and leaned into me. I turned her around and worked the lather across her back, her shoulder blades, the small of it, the backs of her thighs, every inch of her with the same deliberate patience.
Then she took the bottle from my hand.
She squirted lather into her palm and reached for my chest. Her hands moved slowly, spreading the foam across my pectorals, down my stomach, along the lines of my abdomen. She washed my arms, my shoulders. Then she dropped to her knees on the wet tile and worked the lather down my legs, her fingers careful and thorough.
I watched her.
She looked up at me from the floor of the shower, water streaming down her face, a playful expression at the corner of her mouth. Then she gathered a generous handful of foam and wrapped her soapy fingers around my cock, which had gone hard again the moment she knelt.
I groaned.
She stroked slowly. Methodically. With a careful thoroughness that was entirely unnecessary and completely devastating.
“Are you trying to torture me?” I asked. My voice came out rougher than I intended.
She laughed. Bright and genuine, echoing off the tile. “I am just being thorough.”
I pulled her to her feet and turned the water to rinse us both. The foam slid from our bodies in white rivulets and disappeared down the drain. I cupped her face and kissed her once more under the spray. tasting nothing but clean warm skin.
When we stepped out, I wrapped a towel around her first. I dried her shoulders, her arms, the length of her legs. She took the second towel and dried me in return, patient and unhurried, patting the fabric against my chest and back.
I handed her a robe. Thick, white, soft enough to disappear into. She belted it at her waist and looked at herself in the mirror for a moment, and the expression on her face was one I had not seen on her before. Something easy. Something unburdened.
I put on a robe of my own.
“Now,” I said. “Dinner.”
The fridge was fully stocked with meals the hotel kitchen had prepared in advance. I selected two plates, microwaved them, and set them on the small dining table.
She sat across from me in the white robe, her hair still damp, her face relaxed and open, and I barely tasted the food.

Our phones rang throughout the meal.
She just listened. And when I finished she nodded slowly.
“That makes sense,” she said. “All of it.”
We sat in silence for a while after that. A comfortable silence. The kind that did not need to be filled.
After a while I noticed her eyes growing heavy, the exhaustion of the day finally catching up to her.

The readers' comments on the novel: Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic)
Agent Frost better teach Tasha how to protect herself if anything gets out of hand or if she’s ever in danger or forced again...
I need some good news for Tasha. Special Agent hear her out and don’t let her get back into that life. Do I hear a romance or someone Tasha can truly count on besides Scarlett??...
I hope Tasha is let off and helped by this detective and gets away from all this maybe a twist for this novel is she gets on the good side of things and gets away from that life completely even if she has to separate herself from Scarlett but it appears Tasha gets hurt by Scarlett’s and sparrow’s stupidity as she’s blamed for Scarlett’s decisions...
Her life is ruined and Scarlett’s been living a luxurious life through it all...
I officially hate everyone for hurting Tasha and allowing things to happen to her. This whole Sparrow and Scarlett situation is some BS....
It’s a bit stupid that as powerful and ruthless sparrow is he and Scarlett sure do a lousy job of protecting and having guard on Tasha. Like how did all of this happen to her if he was supposed to be protecting her based on the contract??...
More Chapters Please...
I thought it said 10 chapters a day??? It’s been like 2-3 days and no update after chapter 574. The release time is so inconsistent, I have started to just loose interest....
Just find Tasha and get her some help. How did she have sparrow’s men watching her if she really cared so much. Scarlett’s character is so suspect…...
Storyline is interesting it’s just so much sexual content I have to skip through just find out the main context of the story....
