“You taught me well. Now undress. I’m eager to try out this shower and to see you lose that careful control you always keep,” Willow teases.


“Who says I’ll be the one losing control? A person can come and be very much in control,” Jay says, leaning his stick against the wall. He only needs it to walk. His hands go slow and deliberate to his belt, turning the act of undressing into a tease.

“That is true,” Jay says, voice deep as he wiggles out of his pants and underwear, sliding them down long legs and uncovering his perfect cock surrounded by dark curls, the sight of which makes Willow’s mouth feel dry.


“I’ve thought about it, though, what you could do with that pretty mouth,” Jay adds, placing his trousers away from the shower.


Willow grins. “Have you now? What did those thoughts lead to?”
