✨EXCERPT: LOVE ME STALK ME by @laurabishopauthor releasing December 2nd!
#PreOrderNow
I guide her under the spray of the shower, rolling up my sleeves, and grab my soap from my bag.
And then? I wash her.
Gently. Thoroughly. Completely.
I let my hands trail over her skin, washing away every reminder of what happened today, letting my fingers massage over her muscles, soothe her, until her breathing slows, until her body relaxes, until she's looking up at me like I'm the only anchor keeping her grounded.
And I am.
By the time we get out, she's soft, warm, loose-limbed. Water droplets cling to her eyelashes, her fuller curves glistening under the bathroom lights.
She lets me towel her off, lets me dress her in one of my shirts, lets me pull her into the kitchen and sit her on the counter while I cook her dinner. The sizzle of garlic and onions fills the air as I move around her kitchen, the knife rhythmically chopping through vegetables. She watches me, knees drawn up to her chest, the hem of my shirt barely covering her thighs.
I plate the pasta—simple but filling—and carry her to the bedroom. She doesn't even argue when I put on Bridgerton. Just leans into me, stealing bites of food off my plate, snuggling close as we watch, the silk sheets cool beneath us. Because before anything else? Before I fucking wreck her like I've been dying to do for weeks?
She needs to relax.
She needs to be okay.
And then?
Then she's mine.
