The hot water cascaded down over Dean's broad shoulders, washing away the night's tension. His muscles groaned with the long day, but his brain refused to rest Thalia lingered there, a menacing shadow he could not eliminate.
He combed his wet hair, eyes closed, letting the steam infuse the huge hotel bathroom. This was his alone time a brief respite before the next move.
Until he heard the soft creak of the door.
He turned slightly, water dripping down his face. Thalia stepped in still wearing that damn chain around her neck, but nothing else. Her olive skin glistened under the dim lights, blue eyes piercing through the steam like a predator.
"Thought I'd join you," she said, voice low, confident dominant.
Dean didn't answer. He couldn't.
She slipped underwater, inches apart so close their skin rubbed. The shower heat was nothing compared to the fire building between them.
It was wrong. A line he should not cross.
But Thalia never cared about boundaries.
And right now, neither did he.
She went back and grabbed the back of his neck, his lips crashing against hers. The kiss was harsh and ravenous, a desperation for something they couldn't articulate. He had his arms wrapped around her, hands tight on her hips and sliding down to her ass.
They couldn't get enough of each other, lips slamming against each other again and again, hands caressing and brushing. Her smooth flesh against his bristly stubble.
