Another loud growl from his stomach finally got us moving, and we left the dressing room.

I tried to stay cool, but the later it got, the faster my heart raced. When Dominic finally appeared at the door, it felt like my heart might give out—though it wasn’t the first time we’d met.
He wore a baseball cap, dark sunglasses, the white T-shirt from earlier today, and black baggy pants, giving off the vibe of a celebrity trying to stay incognito.
“Man, I’m really into your look.”
“Oh yeah?” He took off his sunglasses and stepped inside. “It’s nothing special.”
“And I’m even more into your modesty. Were you at home?” I asked, closing the door behind him.
“No.” He awkwardly scratched his arm with his right hand. “I felt kind of silly driving past your place just to come back here. But … can I use your shower? I’m totally sweaty. It gets really hot under your lights, and it’s almost thirty degrees outside.”
Moving closer to him, I took off his cap and lifted his shirt over his head. “If I’m allowed to take your clothes off?”
“I stink!” He rolled his eyes. “That’s not sexy anymore.”
I placed his shift on the small shelf by the door and started working on his belt. “I decide whether you’re sexy or not.”
“Kil!”
“You’re like a present—and you came here voluntarily. Let me unwrap you!” I yanked both sides of his waistband and drew him closer. “And there’s one more thing.”
“What?”
I inched forward, stopping just a few inches from his tempting lips. “We almost forgot something.”
I was breathless when Dominic kissed me—so tender, yet so sensual. His soft lips felt like warm pillows, and I could barely feel the tip of his tongue.
This was how I had always imagined my first kiss, but I never believed someone would actually embrace me like that. And then he even stroked my cheek.
“Shit,” I murmured. “How did I deserve that?”
“No idea,” he smiled, his lips still near mine. “Can I go shower now?”
“Did you kiss me just for that?” I asked, letting go of his waistband.
“I’ll kiss you like that every day if you want.”
“Yes, I want that.”
Laughing, he disappeared into the bathroom.
“I’ll bring you a fresh towel,” I called out, grabbing one from the closet in the bedroom.
When I walked into the bathroom, Dominic was already standing naked under the shower. I mean … of course, he was naked. He was in the shower! My shower. And through the glass wall, I could see his gorgeous body.
With his head tilted back and his eyes closed, he let the water trickle onto his face.
That was it, then.
I undressed, carelessly tossing my clothes on the floor. Opening the glass door, I joined Dominic into the shower, which was big enough for two.
