Carrie was leaning over the bed, trying to tuck in the sheets on the other side. She had phoned her boyfriend about a half hour ago to say her parents were going to be away for the night, but heβd already promised to babysit his brother that evening. She was disappointed, but carried on making her bed just in case.
She waited for the shower to warm up before getting in so she could enjoy feeling the hot water cascade over her long dark hair and down her back. She reached for the shower gel and covered herself in silky bubbles, running her hands over the smooth skin across her neck, down her chest, along her thighs. Her skin was amazingly soft and as fresh and pale as a petal, with the slightest pink hue across her cheeks. She was in the shower for a long time before she got out and wrapped herself in a fluffy white towel then made her way back to her bedroom.
She had roughly dried herself but her skin still had a dewy glow and the gentle eveningβs light cast a golden shadow across her back. She reached up to dry her hair, letting go of one side of her towel, and felt a hand close around her wrist. She tried to spin round but an arm wrapped round her waist and held her there, unable to move or to see her attacker. He pressed up against her and she felt his breath on her neck, and knew instantly who it was. His grip was firm but gentle, and his familiar smell was both comforting and exciting for her. This was her boyfriend Andrew, but not as she knew him.
