"What do you mean you have to work?!" I said angrily. "We've been planning this night for weeks and we already had to cancel the last two times!"
"Ariadne, I know. I'm sorry, I couldn't say no-"
"Yes," I interjected, "you could have, but you chose not to, again. I don't want to hear it, Jason. I'm pissed."
Jason reached out to pull me close, but I pulled my hand away and walked towards our bedroom. I could hear him calling me to come back and talk, but I just shut the door. I wasn't ready to forgive him yet.
I contemplated just going to bed, but I was so upset I knew I needed to relax first, so I thought a nice warm shower might help. As I was getting undressed, Jason walked into the room and I could feel his eyes watching me. Rather than stopping, I began to take off each article of clothing slowly, knowing it would turn him on and yet frustrate him since he knew I was too angry to have sex with him.
I took off my top, then slowly unhooked my bra before walking across the room. I unzipped my jeans, bending over to remove them as I heard him shift and let out a sigh of appreciation as I pulled my panties off. Completely naked, I picked up a towel, pretending to cover myself as I bent over slowly to grab my nightie from the bottom drawer. I heard him move across the room, and as I stood up, I saw him standing in the entryway to the bathroom. As I walked to the bathroom, I waited for him to step aside, but he just stood there. I knew he wanted me to have to squeeze by him. I could have quickly pushed past him, but I wasn't going to let him think he'd gotten the best of me, so I made sure to let my body rub against his as I passed. Of course my attempt at turning him on also had the same effect on me, but I certainly wasn't about to let on!
I put my hand on the door and said, "Do you mind?" He raised an eyebrow, but obligingly got out of the way so I could shut the door. "Damn," I said under my breath. Now I was super turned on. I turned on the shower and stepped in. Standing under the water I closed my eyes and put shower gel on my my hands as they glided down my body, following the path of the warm water starting at my neck, over my breasts, down my abdomen, until they were nestled between my thighs. Just as I was feeling relaxed enough, I felt cold air as the shower door opened, and I quickly pulled my hands away as Jason walked into the shower, completely naked.
"I'm almost done," I said, as I tried, and failed, to keep my eyes on his face. I could see he was as turned on as I was, but at least I could hide it I thought.
