I smiled to myself as I watched Lexi fall asleep beside me. I wasn’t nearly done. I wanted to wake her up so we could go another round, but decided she could use a bit of a rest. Besides, she’d been a virgin. She was going to be sore.

It should be fine, though… as long as I’m careful…

But I pushed that thought aside. It was a wonder she was letting me do this at all; I didn’t want to push her in case I went too far.

I stretched my body out then got out of bed. The room I’d given her had a bathroom attached, and I went in there to get cleaned up. I looked down at my limp dick and winced at the spots of blood left on me. There would be some on the sheets, too.

Would she mind taking a shower with me? I wondered to myself. We’ve done something so much more intimate, but…

Her being a virgin was a big clue, but it was more than that. She was new to intimacy. It was possible she’d never even had a boyfriend and one of those innocent high school relationships that I’ve only ever heard about.

I’ll just have to get her used to it.

With that thought, I grinned. I took some tissue to wipe off the blood, then went back into the bedroom. My eyes immediately landed on Lexi where she lay asleep on the bed, her body barely covered with the sheets.

“Lexi?” I called softly, shaking her shoulder lightly. “Come on, Lexi. Get up. We’re going to take a shower.”

It took a little coaxing to get her up, but I managed, and she rubbed her eyes, then looked at me.

“What?” she muttered hoarsely.

“Shower,” I repeated. “Get up.”

It took a minute, but she slid off the bed by herself, and I took her hand, leading her to the bathroom with me. I stood her to the side as I turned on the water in the shower enclosure and waited for it to warm up. It wasn’t until she was under the warm spray, and I’d walked in behind her, that she realized we were both naked. Her eyes widened as she looked down at herself, then me, and then her whole face flushed.

“Why are you so shocked?” I asked, feeling a bit amused.

Her hands twitched up, but she stopped them last minute before she could cross them over her chest.

“Sorry, I just… this is a bit unexpected.”

“We’ll probably be doing this a lot in the future,” I told her in warning. “So you should learn to get used to it now.”

She blinked up at me then nodded slowly as she shuddered out a breath.

I picked up the shower gel where it stood on a shelf in the wall. I put some on my hands, and I reached for Lexi. She yelped, startled, and probably would have gone down if I hadn't caught her around the waist and dragged her against me.

“I’m sorry!” she blurted out, her fingers digging into my arms where she held onto me. “You surprised me.”

I just chuckled, ducking down to nuzzle the side of her face. The movement caused our wet bodies to slide together, and Lexi gasped as her nipples rubbed against my chest. That had me grinning again, and I held her tighter as I started rubbing my hands up and down her back.

“W-what are you doing?” she stuttered, her voice breathy.

“Say my name, Lexi,” I murmured against her ear, giving her lobe a light lick. “If you’ve forgotten, the name is Ryan. Say it.”

My hands slid down her back to cup her ass cheeks, and she let out a moan.

“Ryan,” she gasped. “Please…”

“Please what?”

She didn’t reply, and I didn’t wait for one.

Lexi clung to me, even as I reached for the shower gel again. I liked feeling her pressed up against me, but I had to push her off just a little bit so I could wash her properly. She kept her eyes closed and head turned down so I wouldn’t see her expression, but there was no way I could miss the gasps and moans she let out as I rubbed the liquid soap all over her body. She trembled, and I wanted so badly just to take her again.

I knew better than that, though. I craved so much more because it had been a while for me since I last had sex. But, she might have to leave in the future, and I didn’t want her to have bad memories of me when I was the first guy she’d given herself to. Some women were sensitive about those sorts of things, and I knew Lexi would be one of them. I couldn’t let my wants get in the way of her needs, not even over the fucking contract.

“Ryan,” she whispered, her voice shaking.

I blinked at her as she pulled me out of my thoughts. I was momentarily surprised by the positioning of my hands, one of them massaging her breasts, the other running on the insides of her thighs.

“Wha…?” I muttered, feeling a little confused. Fuck, did my mind suddenly have a mind of its own, or what?

“My body’s feeling a little hot,” Lexi gasped.

She finally looked up at me, and I grit my teeth against the temptation to take her again. Lexi was fantastic. Our first time left me wanting more, and I just knew the whole baby making exercise with her was going to be such a great fucking ride. One I would never forget.

I had to play this cool. If not for her sake, then for my conscience. The girl had enough taken from her; there was no need for me to completely steal her innocence.

“What do you need?” I asked, and at that moment, I was serious. I wasn’t trying to tease her. I may have laid down the terms of the contract, but she was offering me her body, and I had to respect that. “Tell me what you want me to do.”

Hesitantly, one of her hands moved from where she was holding onto my forearm. Instead, she placed it on the hand between her thighs, spreading her legs a little further, and applied a little pressure on the back of my hand to slide it up a bit higher. With her direction, I palmed her sex, fingers teasing at her entrance.

“I want you to touch me here,” she said, the words bold, but her voice was quiet and wavering. Her eyes flickered down for a minute before they were back to staring into mine. “I… want you to make me come. Please.”

I watched her for a minute, then ducked down to press a quick peck on her forehead.

“Whatever you want, Lexi,” I promised.

As much as shower sex could be amazing, I’d always been wary of it, because it was so fucking risky. I’d been a little less about taking risks after Kora died. I could make this one exception, though.

I shifted us around, moving carefully until I had her back pressed against the tiled wall. I didn’t remove my hands from where they were positioned though, playing with her breasts and her clit, with my fingers teasingly brushing her entrance as our positions shifted. I delighted in the shaky gasps pouring out of her mouth as I pleasured her. She was holding onto me once again, tightly, and the sting of her nails digging into my shoulder and arm only satisfied me.

“I’m going to make you feel really good,” I whispered to her.

“Ryan,” she breathed out, tilting her head back, her eyes going half-lidded, mouth parted as she breathed in short pants. Her head was out from under the shower spray, or she would have drowned like that.

I leaned down to press kisses to her neck, licking up drops of water clinging to her skin. The hand on her breast squeezed gently; then I rubbed her nipple with my thumb, then moved the hand to her other breast to give it the same treatment. My fingers between her legs were circling her clit at the same time, and her body gave little jerks at the twin assault.

“Ryan!”

Lexi’s voice was higher this time, the sound bouncing around us in the shower enclosure, and I guessed she was getting close. I pressed my mouth against hers to muffle her noises in a kiss, as I slid a careful finger inside her followed by a second. I thrust in and out of her with careful movements, crooking my fingers as they pulled out, rubbing against her clit with the heel of my palm. Using the hand I had on her breasts, I rolled and tugged, rubbed and pinched her nipples. I pressed my body close to hers, bracing her against the tiles so she wouldn’t move too much.

She let out a cry in my mouth as I felt her body break out into a full shudder, her walls convulsing around my fingers. I pulled them out of her, instead focusing my attention on her clit, rubbing furiously, bringing her as much pleasure as possible. It would have been better to do it on a bed, but we’d get that chance later.

Lexi’s body slumped against the tiles as the waves of her climax passed, and I finished cleaning the both of us up.

I got us out of the shower, and I toweled her down, then left her to get dressed, pulling on my pants so I could switch out her sheets, instead of calling for the maids. I didn’t do too great a job of making the bed, but by the time Lexi was ready to go to sleep, she didn’t look like she cared. She just crawled in and got under the covers, easing into sleep the moment she lay down.

“Good night, Lexi,” I murmured.

I watched her a moment longer before I picked up the rest of my clothes, turned off the lights, and headed to my room. I didn’t realize until I had my door closed behind me that I’d had a huge smile on my face the entire time.
