“Ahhhh….” I lay back in the water and shut my eyes, inhaling eucalyptus-scented steam.

The jets under my legs hummed, blowing streams against my thighs.

I can’t believe I was about to turn down his mom’s offer and miss out on this.

The jets’ pressure softened, and I climbed out of the tub.

With rubber legs, I strolled toward a tray of chilled wine and poured a glass.

I downed it in one gulp and poured another.

Then another.

“It’s been so long…” I moaned. “So damn long.”

I carried my last one across the room, following the arrows toward the steam room.

I was halfway there when Mr. Dawson stepped out of the shower, stark naked.

Too stunned to move, I watched him splash his face with water.

The muscles in his back flexed, and as he turned around, my jaw unhinged and dropped to the floor.

Every muscle from his chest to his abs was carved to perfection. As I lowered my gaze past his stomach, I held in a breath at the sight of his cock.

Rock-hard and jutting forward like it was ready for me to ride it, it was also etching its place in my fantasies for years to come.

He’s so fucking massive…

My mouth watered as I envisioned him owning my body in his bed.

Snap out of it, Harlow snap out of it.

Clutching my wine glass, I stole one last look at him and stepped backward.

When I reached the doorway, I turned around—well, I tried to.

My head refused to follow my feet’s lead. My hair was stuck on something.

What the hell?

I reached up to pull it free, yanking my head forward, but it didn’t give.

Shit.

I stopped resisting and remained still, hoping Mr. Dawson would walk away without noticing me.

He rolled his head from the left to the right, softly groaning as he stretched.

His eyes met mine in the mirror, and he smiled.

“Hello, Miss Hawthorne.” He turned around, giving me a much better view of his body. “I didn’t see you there.”

“Yeah, well—” My cheeks burned. “Feel free to keep that same energy and act like I’m not here. Treat me like I’m part of the decor.”

Amused, he let out a low laugh and strolled toward me.
