Hughes__OperationForepl#9A3Melody Ashford hates waiting for anything-especiallysex. But after a disastrous affair and a one-nighter with Mr. Micropenis, Mel realizes she’s suffering from some bad bedroom juju. And no amount of hot, casual, or friends-with-benefits hookups is going to fix it. Instead, Mel’s decided to resist the demands of her ladyparts.

Saying no might have been no problem . . . except that her temporary roommate, Jared Myers, is all kinds of hot male sex on a stick. Now Mel is consumed by all manner of dirty thoughts, and remembering why she decided to “go slow” is getting harder and harder

excerpt

β€œYou go shower, I’ll put everything away.” He unpacked the bags and began filling the fridge. I watched him move easily through my kitchen before turning on music and heading to the shower.

β€œLeave me some hot water!” I heard him yell through the closed door.

β€œCan’t guarantee that. You might have to hop in here with me.” I laughed.

Silence.

β€œJared?”

β€œYeah?” He replied softly.

β€œI was kidding.”

β€œI know. Tease.”

He laughed and I continued to shampoo the sweat out of my hair. Of course, whenever I smelled the floral scent, I thought of him and the first day he was in my apartment. Freshly cleaned from his own shower. Smelling of lavender. Naked and amazing.

The familiar tingle of want tingled between my thighs. With nothing better to do, I decided to take my orgasm into my own hands.

I had no idea I how long I was in there until I heard banging on the bathroom door, effectively pulling me away from the cliff I was so close to falling off.

β€œYou know,” Jared yelled, β€œten minutes is a shower. Any longer than that and you’re playing with yourself.”

Struck dumb by his words, I couldn’t think of a snappy retort. So I slipped on the bar of soap I dropped instead. And screamed as my elbow met the side of the tub with a loud thump.

β€œMel! You okay?” I could hear him fiddling with the door lock.

β€œI fell. It hurts.” Tears stung my eyes and I bit back a yelp.

β€œHold on.”

β€œNo, don’t come in! I’m naked!” As I said it, he shouldered the door open and rushed to the tub, pulling the shower curtain open.

β€œYou okay?”

β€œFine. It just hurts.” I winced and tried to stand up. β€œWhat?”

β€œNothing. Just lookin’ atcha naked is all.” His wiggling eyebrows ticked me off.

β€œSeriously? Get out. I can do this by myself.” I attempted, again, to get out of the tub.

He leaned down and placed his hands under my arms and lifted me up and out before wrapping a towel around me and sitting me on the toilet seat.

β€œDon’t move.”

He walked out of the bathroom before returning with the frozen bag of peas. Kneeling down in front of me he said, β€œPut this on it.”

β€œThanks.” I mumbled.

β€œWhat was that?” He brought his hand to his ear.

β€œThanks.”

β€œWow. You’re welcome.”

β€œDid you really see me naked?” I don’t know why it mattered but I’d rather him not have seen me naked for the first time crumpled in a heap at the bottom of my bathtub.

β€œEh, didn’t see much. You were kind of curled into a ball. But I saw enough imagine.” He winked.

β€œSo you can close your eyes any time you want and imagine me naked?”

β€œYep.” He closed his eyes. β€œDoin’ it right now.”

I leaned in and brushed my lips on his. He tasted sweaty from the gym. It was delicious.

His eyes snapped open. β€œWhat was that for?”

I stood, handing him the bag of peas. β€œWhatever you were just imagining, it’s wrong. I’m much hotter.”

With that, I walked to my bedroom, dropped the towel just inside the door and tossed it into the hallway.

β€œNot fair! Now I’m going to have to take a long, cold shower.”

β€œYou’re a big boy,” I yelled through my door. β€œI’m sure you can handle yourself.”

β€œSuch a tease,” I heard him say under his breath.

β€œWhat was that?”

β€œNothing. Get dressed!” He yelled back.
