Cold Water, Burning Desire
We had just returned from the beach, the salt still clinging to our skin and the sun lingering in our veins. Carmen had worn a new light-blue bikini that had driven me mad all afternoon. It was stunning, hugging her curves in all the right places, but it had attracted far too many wandering eyes. I knew I was possessive, but seeing the way other men looked at her only fueled the fire burning in my gut.
We stepped into the outdoor shower at the back of the house, a small, private sanctuary hidden from the world. The water was ice-cold, but in the sweltering heat, it felt like a blessing. In the cramped space, our bodies were forced together, skin sliding against skin as the freezing spray toned my muscles and heightened my senses.
Carmen closed her eyes, tilting her head back to drink from the stream, water cascading down her throat and over her breasts. I reached out, my hands sliding over her wet hips, pulling her back against my chest. The contrast of the freezing water and the heat of her skin was intoxicating. I whispered her name, my lips grazing the shell of her ear, and felt her shiver—not from the cold, but from the anticipation.
She turned in my arms, her eyes dark with a hunger that mirrored my own. The bikini was a nuisance now, a thin barrier that needed to vanish. I reached for the ties, my fingers trembling slightly, and as the fabric fell away, the world outside the shower ceased to exist. There was only the rhythmic drumming of the water and the desperate, burning need to claim her completely.
