I gasp, and Locke stills for half a second behind me. Not stopping, not retreating. Just acknowledging my reaction. Then his hands begin moving again, slow and deliberate beneath the water, his thumbs brushing lightly over my n*****s as he washes me.

At the sound, his one hand remains cupping my breast while the other slides lower, smoothing soap slowly over my hips, the sensitive inside of my thigh… and I almost pass out right here in the tub.

His fingers drift higher along the inside of my thigh. I make a helpless sound. 

‘Patience,” he murmurs against my ear. “Breathe, baby.”
