Chapter 19: Steam

"Wash my hair," I said.

It was a quarter to seven on Monday morning, and the guest bathroom had filled with steam so thick the mirror had gone white.

Ben stood in the shower with the water running down his chest, looking at me over his shoulder.

"Come here."

I stepped in and let the hot water hit my face.

It felt like being forgiven.

He poured the shampoo into his palm, lavender again, and I turned around and tipped my head back into his hands.

His fingers went into my hair and found my scalp, and he rubbed slow circles behind my ears.

My eyes closed on their own.

"Harder," I said.

"Like this?"

"Like that. Don't stop."

He worked his thumbs along the base of my skull and down the cords of my neck.

A moan came out of me that had nothing to do with sex, and then everything to do with it.

"Tell me what you like," I said. "About me. Be specific."

"Right now?"

"Right now. With your hands in my hair."

He didn't answer for a moment.

He put his mouth close to my ear.

"I like your freckles. There are eleven on your left shoulder, and I've counted them in the dark."

My breath caught.

"I like how you hold your shoulders when you walk into a room full of people who've hurt you. Like you're carrying something full to the brim and you won't spill any."

"Ben."

"I like your stomach. I like how soft it is. I like putting my face there."

He rinsed my hair with the shower, his palm shielding my eyes, and the water sheeted down my back.

"I like that you laugh with your whole face when you forget to be careful. I like your hands. I like what they do when they're deciding something."

"Keep going."

"I like your thighs." His hands slid from my hair to my shoulders, down my arms and around my waist. "I like that I can hold on to them."

He pulled me back against his chest, and I felt him hard against the small of my back.

He didn't hurry.

One of his hands spread over my stomach, and the other went to my breast, thumb circling slow.

His mouth found the side of my throat.

"Spread your legs a little," I said.
