As she carried the final box up the long three flights of stairs, Gwen's fatigue started to disappear. She and Trent had been together for a year and a half, and were only now getting their own apartment. "Finally," she thought to herself, "no more stupid roomates." The thought of taking long baths whenever she wanted, walking around naked again, and not having to stifle herself when she and Trent had sex had her grinning by the time she walked in the door of their new place.
However, her excitement started to fade as she realized how much work they still had to do on the apartment. Trent was working on hooking up the TV and video game systems, and didn't notice her entrance. As her gaze circled the living and dining rooms, she saw what felt like mountains of boxes piled everywhere. The thought of endless unpacking exhausted her, and she put down the box and walked over to Trent.
"Got the last one, baby," she informed as she put her arms around his neck.
He shook her off, connected one final cord, then stood and stretched. He looked down at her from his tall, lanky frame and smiled warmly. "Baby, we have a home now."
Gwen grinned up at him warmly, and wrapped her arms around him. She couldn't be happier. Except for maybe one thing...
"What do you say we give this place a proper christening?" The mischievious glint in her eye was unmistakable to Trent, but a day of hauling boxes and furniture had him a bit too worn out for the kind of fun she had in mind.
He shook his head after a moment and said, "Not now, Gwen. Maybe later. I need to take a shower."
As he padded off toward the bathroom, Gwen pouted and crossed her arms. Trent didn't care to notice, so she decided to try a different approach. She waited until she heard the water running, then started to undress herself. She hadn't been wearing much anyway, as it had been a hot day, but she quickly stripped out of her cutoff shorts and cropped tank down to nothing but her perfectly tanned skin.
She quietly walked to the bathroom and peeked around the corner. She could see Trent's silhouette behind the shower curtain, and heard his soft sighs as the scalding water hit his skin and caused steam to fill the room.
