Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 527

I opened my mouth to ask the question that had been eating me alive since the moment I put the phone down. Do you love me too? The words were right there, sitting on my tongue, ready to fall out of my mouth. My heart pounded so hard I was certain she could hear it over the water.

Then I remembered everything she had ever told me about Tasha. That girl was the only thing in Scarlett's heart. There was no room in there for anything else, and certainly not for a man who had bought her loyalty with a contract. If she said no, I had promised myself it would set me free. Standing in front of her now, watching the water run over her skin, I knew that was a lie. I did not want her to say no. I wanted her to say yes, and I was terrified of hearing the wrong word.

She smiled at me, confused, and asked me again why I was staring at her and whether something was wrong.

I did not answer. I walked into the steam, took her face in both hands, and put my mouth on hers.

She made a sound against my lips and her palms landed on my chest, and that was all the permission I needed. I tore out of my clothes in a few rough movements and let them drop onto the wet tile, and then I went down on my knees in front of her with the water beating across my shoulders. I hooked one of her legs over my arm and put my mouth on her pussy, my tongue flat against her clit, and she braced a hand against the wall and moaned my name. I worked her until her thighs trembled and her fingers knotted in my hair, until she came against my mouth with the water running down my face and her hips grinding into me.

I stood up and turned her around. She planted both palms flat on the tile, and I got a hand on each of her breasts and pulled her back against my chest. I pushed into her pussy from behind, one long stroke that pulled a cry out of her throat, and then I fucked her hard, my hands full of her tits, my hips slapping against her ass, both of us moaning loud enough to fill the whole bathroom. The sound bounced off the tile and came back doubled. When she came again her whole body clenched around my cock, and I drove in to the hilt and emptied myself inside her.

Afterward we washed each other off. I knotted a towel around my waist, since my clothes were soaked through and lying in a heap on the floor, and we went back into her room. I sat on the edge of her bed and looked up at her.

"Why is there nobody else in the house?" I asked. "I thought you told me you had plans with Tasha today."

"Let it go," she said. "I will talk to Tasha when she gets back. It will not happen again."

I stared at her for a moment, then let the phone drop back onto the bed. "Fine."

Then I looked her over, and a question surfaced. "Why were you in the shower again? You had one not long ago."

"I was cooking and baking this morning," she said. "I got food all over me. And Tasha said she would come back so the two of us could have lunch together. After that we were still going out."
