Chapter 75: Inch by Inch

** Harper **

Alright, now Harper was beginning to understand the hardship of "keeping your hands off". No pun intended.

She wondered if she should feel flattered, that he was already all the way there just from taking her clothes off. The thing in front of her was jutting straight up at her eye level, and it seemed to be ... growing bigger by the second as she kept staring at it. Maybe she should take it as hard evidence that he indeed found her attractive?

She also wondered if she should feel ... impressed, by the size of it.

Granted, she had not seen another fully naked man in person before — only in movies, and movies involved lens distortions and misleading perspectives and post-processing — so she had no baseline to make a fair comparison with. But given the standards she had learned from those movies and various books, as well as the standards that she had applied to her own web novel ... what she was seeing seemed to be exceeding them. By quite a bit.

Those thoughts distracted her, and she simply squatted there, staring in a daze. When she finally broke away and looked up, she found Eli still watching her with that amused smile over his lips. Only his gaze had darkened even more, and the sheer intensity of it made a thrilled shudder pulse through her.

"I’m sure nothing can come as that much of a surprise," he said. "You’ve already measured me inch by inch last time, and I fully expect you to do it again very soon." He glanced at the shower. "Shall we?"

Oh yes. Hell yes.

Harper sprang to her feet and darted over to the shower. She turned on the sprayer, and as she leaned into the tub to test the water, she could feel the heated burn of Eli’s eyes behind her back. She smiled to herself, knowing that he was checking out her butt.

They could surely get plenty of checking out done in this shower.

She climbed in when the water was warm. Eli followed immediately, without the need of an invitation. The spraying mist and rising steam clung to his skin as he folded his tall frame into the modestly sized space, and Harper stared again, entranced by how the soft glisten of water droplets brought out all the ridges and dips running along his hard chest.

Her enjoyment of the view was only interrupted when he bumped his elbow against the shower door while trying to close it behind them. It turned out, unsurprisingly, that the modest space wasn’t quite big enough for her to simply stand in the middle of the tub and stare.

"Oops, sorry," she chuckled sheepishly, "let me make some room—"

"Come here." A long arm looped around her before she managed to move. Eli shifted their weight, and then she was wrapped within his arms, pressed into him with her back against his chest. "It should be more space-efficient like this," he said, nuzzling her ear.

Tingles pulsed down her spine. Harper let out a small sigh, head reeling. Only in her imagination would he ever hold her like this — skin to skin, tight against each other with nothing in between. It was like peeling away another layer, making it too sensual, too intimate, too much more real than anything else they had done so far. She could barely believe that it was truly happening ... Except she was reminded by the large and hard presence digging into her from behind her back that it was all very much truly happening.

The thought made her burn. She leaned back, pressing herself tighter against him, and her hips moved on their own, lifting up and tentatively grinding into him.

A half hiss, half groan escaped his throat, the sound a scorching echo against her ear. But then a strong hand gripped her waist, stopping her. "Fuck, Harper," he said in a low husk. It was the first time she’d ever heard him curse like that. "You might want to reconsider that."

... Why? Harper stilled, confused as to what she had done wrong. Though she didn’t get much time to ponder, because the next moment, his other hand snaked forward from behind her and cupped one of her breasts.

She gasped as he kneaded and squeezed, working up the pressure that had already been building inside her all this time. His lips traced down the side of her neck in the meantime, dropping hard kisses and light suckles along the familiar path. When he reached where her shoulder met her nape, he grazed his teeth over that sensitive spot, and his hand pinched her nipple.

"Eli!" She whimpered with a stumble. Her head lolled back, falling against him, and she reached behind to slide her own hand over his neck, holding onto him.

"Lean back further," he said, as if approving what she had just done. "Further ... Perfect. I appreciate the unobstructed view, just like this."

Harper was still adjusting to her new balance of leaning all her weight against him, when the hand over her waist slid down and reached between her legs.

"!!" A hard moan tore out of her. His skilled finger was drawing tiny circles over that sensitive bundle of nerves, and the maddening sensation almost made her knees buckle. She threaded her own fingers into his hair, grasping at the wet locks as she panted. The heat was soaring too fast, too hard, and she moaned again as his other hand closed around her nipple once more, rolling it between two fingers.

It took almost no time at all, yet she was already going to ... going to—

He stopped, at the precise moment before she could fly over the edge. The hand between her legs withdrew, sliding to her thighs, and the other hand held her shoulder, straightening her back up to her feet. "Not yet," he whispered against her ear. "It’s better to make it last, isn’t it?"

Trailing kisses down her back, he lowered himself behind her, hands on her hips.
