Jacqueline kissed her cheek before slipping past us, with Bex following. The door closed behind them, leaving Tamsin alone with me. My easy smile returned because every threat surrounding her was gone, and the only place I needed to be was inside our home with her body pressed against mine.

I caught the back of her neck and kissed her properly. Tamsin opened beneath my mouth with a hungry little sound, her fingers sliding into my hair as I drove my tongue against hers and walked her backward.

“Gavin,” she breathed when I broke the kiss long enough to drag my mouth along her jaw. “Is it done?”

“Done.” I tightened my hand at her waist and felt her whole body soften.

Relief swept across her face before she pulled me down for another kiss. I lifted her, caught both thighs around my hips, and carried her toward the bathroom while she clung to my shoulders. Her pussy pressed hot against my stomach through the thin shorts, and my cock went hard enough to hurt before I reached the doorway.

“Where are we going?” she asked against my mouth.

“Shower.”

“I already took one.”

“Taking another.”

“You’re bossy.”

“You like it.”

Tamsin bit my lower lip hard enough to make me growl. “Love it.”

I started the water with her still wrapped around me, then set her on the counter and stripped the shirt over her head. Her bra followed, exposing her luscious tits, and my mouth watered. Tamsin watched my expression darken, her nipples tightening before I touched them, and her breath caught when I filled both palms with her soft flesh.

“So pretty.” I pinched one peak lightly before sliding my hands down to her shorts. “Lift.”

She braced her hands behind her and raised her hips. I pulled the shorts and panties down together, leaving her naked except for the bandage around her wrist. Bruises darkened the delicate skin above it, and the sight sent one last cold edge through me.

Tamsin touched my jaw. “I’m here.”

“I know.” I turned my face and kissed her palm. “Still gonna put my hands over every inch of you until my body believes it.”

Her eyes softened, but heat replaced the emotion when I opened my jeans and freed the erection pushing against them. Tamsin’s gaze dropped, lingering openly on my cock while I stripped the rest of my clothes away. The hunger in her face made my shaft jerk against my stomach.

We stepped beneath the water together. I washed the remaining blood from my hands and body quickly, then took the soap from her before she could reach for it. Tamsin lifted one brow but turned when I guided her beneath the spray.

I worked the lather over her shoulders, down her back, and across the curve of her ass, squeezing both cheeks hard enough to make her gasp. My hands slid around her waist and climbed to her breasts, coating them in soap while my thumbs dragged repeatedly over her stiff nipples. Tamsin leaned back against me, her head settling on my shoulder as my cock pressed between the slick curves of her ass.

“You said wash,” she whispered, her breathing already uneven.

“I’m thorough.”

“You’re hard.”

“Been hard since you opened the door.”

My hand slid down her stomach and between her thighs. She opened for me without being told, allowing my fingers to stroke through her wet heat before I pressed two inside. The moan that left her echoed through the shower, and she caught my forearm while I curled my fingers and worked my thumb against her clit.

“That’s it,” I praised, nibbling the side of her neck. “Get nice and wet for me. I’ve been thinking about this pussy since I left you.”

“I missed you,” she gasped, rolling her hips against my hand.

“Show me.”

Tamsin turned in my arms, water streaming over her curls and flushed skin. She caught my cock in one hand and stroked from base to head, smearing the slick bead waiting there with her thumb. My muscles locked beneath the pleasure, and I gripped her ass before she could make me come in her fist.

“I need you,” she whispered, looking up through wet lashes.
