Caleb seemed to be venting as much as he was trying to distract me from our earlier conversation.

My breath hitched, cheeks flushed with the heat of the moment.

He deftly stripped off my clothes, the hot droplets of water on my skin contrasted sharply with his icy fingers.

In that moment, my mind went blank under his fervent touch.

This jerk... must've watched too many of those late-night shows.

"Caleb... you bastard..." I gasped for air, the shower's heat and his relentless kisses making it hard to breathe.

His hands wandered without restraint.

I felt tears betray me, probably out of frustration.

"I never thought... you'd come back to me... how could I dare hope..."

His voice was raspy, as if ready to drown in this moment with me.
