Chapter eight
I stood in the lounge room of the small cabin and shivered. The slight chill in the air from the rain was not so good with my wet towel and swimwear.
“Go and have a warm shower, Rose, before you catch a cold,” Nathan said softly. He led me to a bathroom and got me a fresh white towel out of the linen cupboard. But instead of leaving me to shower alone, he just stood there watching me, making me feel self-conscious and more than a little nervous.
“What do you want, Nathan?”
“A shower. I’m a little cold myself.”
“But...” I went to protest.
“Just leave your swimmers on if it bothers you that much. We are adults, not everything is about sex.”
I couldn’t help but feel a little silly. “Of course not, but with you the way you are, you can’t really blame me.”
Nathan shrugged. “I haven’t done anything to you yet, have I?” He turned on the water and stepped in.
“No, but you’ve wanted to.”
“You’re an attractive woman, I’m a single man...”
“You are a pig,” I cut him off as I got in the shower.
It was only small area and we were so close. I really should stop putting myself in these positions. Our bodies were pressed against one another. The warm water running over my skin only intensified the feeling running through me at his closeness. It was the most intimate thing I’d ever done with a man.
Nathan was looking at me, his eyes dark and soft, as he leaned over and brushed a piece of hair off my shoulder, pushing it slowly down my back. It was such a soft, romantic gesture, that without meaning too, I instantly went to putty in Nathan’s arms. Nathan sensed it too and a slight smile flashed across his lips.
He reached one of his hands up to the top of my head and ran it slowly down my back until it reached the small curve above my bikini bottoms. His other hand slipped behind my neck and held it softly for a moment, before slowly sliding it down my front, grazing my breasts as it went down to my stomach and fanned out to meet his other hand on my back. The movements were so soft, so unlike Nathan’s previous touches, that I couldn’t help the low moan that escaped my lips.
His hand slid up my back and returned to my neck as the water showered down on us. He pulled me closer and kissed me softly on my neck, before trailing soft, light kisses up to my mouth. Nathan kisses were light to begin with, then he deepened the kiss, exploring my mouth with his tongue, igniting a fire in my belly. I felt Nathan’s other hand reach out for the soap, then he slowly started to rub it all over my back. I could feel him opening the clasp on my bikini top, but I didn’t want to stop him. I could do nothing but stand there, my legs wouldn’t have moved even if I had wanted them to. I didn’t even flinch when Nathan grabbed the front of my bikini top and tugged it softly down my arms, exposing my milky white breasts. I wanted his hands on me.
Still holding the soap in his hand, Nathan ran it down my front and back up to my neck. He ran his free hand back down the soapy trail he’d just made, causing me to moan again at the skin-to-skin contact. Nathan’s touch was firm and purposeful, that of a man who knew exactly what he was doing.
Nathan put the soap back on the holder and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me tight against his body. I felt his chest hair tickle my soft skin as he slid his hands down my back and inside my pants, resting them on my bottom.
A loud clap of thunder sounded outside and snapped me back from my trance. I gasped and in a fear reaction, I reached up and grabbed hold of Nathan’s strong arms.
“Don’t be scared, Rose,” Nathan said, his voice low and husky as it vibrated through my body. I didn’t know if he was talking about him or the thunder.
Another thunder clapped and I jumped again. I tried to let go of Nathan and step back away from him, but he wouldn’t let me go.
“I can’t do this, Nathan,” I whispered. “I’m not ready.”
