He stood in the shower, the weight of his world bending his back, causing him to slouch forward. The hot water poured over the crown of his head, and over his face. He could faintly taste shampoo in the water as it ran into and around his lips. His eyes were closed tightly.
Life did not feel especially fair to the man. He tried so hard, but failure after failure seemed to haunt him. His work was dissatisfying, his relationships had become superficial. He felt tremendous loneliness.
There's nothing like a bath of fire to get the deep down dirt, the man thought as he nudged the faucet hotter still. The pain seemed to soothe him. He felt like the hurt would make him clean, wash away his failures. The room filled with thick steam, making it difficult to breathe. The skin of his back, buttocks and thighs turned redder and redder.
The man knew this was foolish, and that scalding himself would solve nothing. He turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, his head spinning from the heat and steam. He quickly wrapped a towel around his waist, and stumbled out of the bathroom, not even bothering to dry his skin. He found his way to the large bed that he had slept in alone far too often. His vision was swimming as he sat down hard.
I must have overdone it, he thought vaguely as he fell back onto the bed. He lay there, with steam rising from his limbs. He blinked once, twice, very slowly, and unconsciousness over took him.
"Wake up, silly!" she said. "Wake up"
"W-what?" he murmured, still confused.
"You had another one of your ridiculous hot showers," she teased in a scolding voice, "and now the sheets are going to be all wet!"
He shook his head, willing his vision to adjust to the now dim light. He could see her slim silhouette moving in the back ground.
"Did you have a bad day?" she threw over her shoulder.
"Yes..." he drew out the word, "but-"
"Oh! Pumpkin!" she interrupted. He opened his mouth to speak again, but stopped with his jaw wide when her bra landed on his naked lap. He wondered briefly about a towel, but his attention was quickly drawn to her, as she knelt on the edge of the bed.
"I will make it all better," she promised as she moved up the bed. She knelt by his hip, her knee just touching him. He studied her. She had slim muscular thighs, with wonderful lines defining muscles that suggested stamina and agility. She wore small low cut panties that hugged her curves. Her hips were thrust forward, showing her fine bone structure. He followed the curve of her small waist to where her hands obscured his view of her breasts. She held a bottle, slowly drizzling lotion into her palm. Her shoulders were thrown back and her neck was arched as she smirked down at him. Her expression said that she knew she was beautiful, and that she was enjoying the effect she was having him.
"Would you like that?" she asked coyly as she slid her palms together, seductively spreading the lotion. He started to try to form an answer when she reached down and twitched her bra off of his hastily hardening cock. Embarrassed he tried to cover himself, only to find that he could not move.
"What is this?" he started. She swooped close to his face. He couldn't help but stare at her glossy lips as she murmured,
"This is just for you" Her soft breast was pressed against his side, her hand rested lightly on his chest. "For being such a good boy", her hand trailed down his torso. He looked down, surprised to see moisture trickling from the tip of his throbbing penis.
