Shower For Two

Photosource: Unknown

One learns patience from anticipation…
To control hidden fears with a deep breath, the kind that causes you to close your eyes for the brief seconds that it takes to have your shirt lifted over your head.
Awareness…
Of the sound of hot water running, the feel of anxious flesh and the sensation of irregular breathing that gives away the uneasy expectations…

You slip past the curtain into the steam, well aware of the warm body that follows and brace yourself for that first jet of water, conscious of the eyes that watch you as you take that first plunge under the warm water…
Pulling him towards you become aware of every inch of your body… it responds… to the water, to him to the heat in a wet kiss oblivious to the stray strands of hair in between.
The water is warm… but your body still shivers deliciously and you attempt to control your desires to concentrate on the task at hand…

How does it feel?
To watch the shampoo be poured into a hand that is not your own… rubbed together with its partner which attacks your scalp with a sensual massage.
Fingers ensure that every strand of hair is soaped before rinsing it off under the warm water.

The body convokes self-control as the eyes catch a glimpse of the bath gel being poured onto the sponge…
You brace yourself for the sweet torture of being scrubbed…
At first you watch as the sponge travels down your body leaving a sweet smelling lather in its path until eventually, you close your eyes and attempt to imagine the path it will take…
It doesn't matter though… all paths feel good, all paths will take it past curves and contours before reaching your toes…
Around your toes…between your toes.

To press your soapy self against a warm body, to feel it take in a deep breath and rub itself against you… to sense the loss of control at bay and know that in front of you someone fights the same battle…
To give in… To give out…
To take longer in the shower than you normally would.

You can't help the bittersweet disappointment when all is clean and the water is turned off… you close your eyes and acknowledge the radiant energy pouring from your skin… seconds before your mind prepares you for being dried with a fluffy towel and the sweetest smile of the face of someone who wants you.
