Glasses clanked in the background, the sound of water muffling the distant sounds from the kitchen as her slender figure walked into the steaming shower and closed the door to the shower stall behind her. Dinner had been lovely, as he had insisted on cooking, and the taste of butter and lobster still clung to her lightly tinted lips. Sighing and walking into the cascade of water, the young woman leaned backwards and let the water massage her skin and wet her thick, red locks. Long fingers worked dexterously through the wavy tangles, parting the locks of her hair before reaching for the shampoo bottle on the ledge and squirting some of the coconut-scented liquid onto her hand. Massaging it between her palms momentarily, Alice slowly worked the lather through, nails lightly running along her scalp before rinsing away the shampoo. Grabbing for the conditioner, a small shiver coursed its way through Alice's body as she left the stream of water. Smiling to herself, nipples growing taut from the temperature change, Alice closed her eyes and squirted conditioner into her hand and massaged it into her hair.
A soft rapping was heard at the bathroom door, the absence of sound from dishes being loaded into the dishwasher unnoticed while Alice showered. "Yes?" she called over the stream of water, a distant voice rendered inaudible by the sounds of the woman's shower. A creaking noise was heard causing Alice's eyes to fly open as a male figure was seen outlined through the blurry tinted glass of the shower stall. "Tom, what are you doing...?" Alice started, a small chuckle escaping her lips before nervously wrapping her arms around her body. Sure, the glass was tinted and as much as she couldn't see him, he couldn't see her ... but that didn't mean that either of them weren't mentally envisioning the other wet and/or naked.
Faintly the sound of fabric hitting the floor was heard from upon the tile floor as Tom quickly removed his shirt, the blue-grey of the tee kicked to one side of the bathroom by a singular bare foot. The slow, rolling gait of the approaching man was very nearly predatory as Alice attempted to rinse out the conditioner from her hair without looking at the shadowy silhouette through the shower door. Palms were seen through the glass, the creamy skin a myriad of swirls from the pattern on the door and the knowledge of him so close caused Alice to swallow a knot she didn't realize had formed within her throat.
"Tom..." she trailed off, hands coming down from her now-rinsed hair as she stepped toward the door before it suddenly opened. Gasping, a high-pitched squeak escaping her throat, Alice attempted for a moment of modesty but couldn't stop her emerald eyes from assessing the man in the doorway. A grin flashed across Tom's face, those far-too perfect teeth in that far-too perfect smile causing something low in her body to tighten. That look was predatory, those blue-green eyes staring at more than her naked body but rather penetrating through to her very soul. A small sigh escaped Alice's throat, a tentative step taken forward without realizing it as the light reflected on the now-damp ridges of his abs. He wasn't built like a body builder or a wrestler, but rather built like a man that knew his assets and worked with what he had.
"Yes, darling?" he cooed, eyes gaze locked on hers as she stared and reached toward him with one tentative hand.
"Stop that," she chided, furrowing her brow at realizing that he was enjoying her reaction to him before she placed her hands on her hips.
