Halo – Ellie Masters

She steps into the shower. My eyes snap open. The water beads on her skin, tracing lines I can’t follow without losing what’s left of my control. “No,” she says. One word. Calm. Absolute. “Cassie—” “I’m not leaving.” She steps closer, steam blurring the edges of her, but not the intent in her eyes. “You don’t get to order me away and pretend this isn’t happening.” “You don’t understand what you’re doing.” “I understand exactly what I’m doing.” Her hand comes up, fingers closing around my wrist—not stopping me, grounding me.

“You’re the one pretending.” Her fingers are inches from my cock. So close. So achingly close. My breath turns shallow. Too fast. My body betrays me again, tension coiling tighter with every second she stays. “Look at me,” she says. I don’t. Her fingers slide up my arm, slow and deliberate, mapping muscle and restraint and the places I’ve been holding too tight for too long. “Look. At. Me.” I do. I take her in. The water slicks her hair back. The drops running down her throat, over her breasts.

The hunger in her eyes matches my own. Her chin lifts. Defiant. Unafraid. Choosing this. “Tell me to leave, if you can,” she challenges softly. “But if you do, say it like you mean it.” I open my mouth. Nothing comes out. She steps into my space. Steam. Heat. Her body so close I feel it before I touch it—feel the pull, the gravity, the inevitability of what I’ve been fighting since the kiss.

“That’s what I thought,” she murmurs. She reaches down, her fingers curling around mine. I grab her waist—hard enough to bruise, desperation clawing its way out. “You need to stop.” Her other hand fists in my wet hair. She pulls my head down. “Make me.” That’s it. The last thread snaps. I haul her up against me, the kiss crashing in rough and hungry, all restraint burned away in the collision.
