Steam and Desire — An Intimate Story for Couples

The sun had just begun to filter through the slats of the blinds when James and Sara slipped into the shower together. The warm water cascaded around them, steam curling up towards the ceiling, enveloping them in a private world of heat and moisture. James wrapped his arms around Sara, pulling her close, water slick skin pressed intimately together.

They began slowly, as was their favorite way, bodies easing into the touch and warmth. James kissed her deeply, tasting the mint of her toothpaste still fresh on her lips, the water making everything feel heightened and sensitive. He moved his lips to her neck, where the droplets gathered and slid down her spine. She let out a soft sound of pleasure, leaning back into the solid warmth of his body.

With his hands exploring over her wet skin, James reached for the bar of soap, using it to massage her shoulders, the slippery glide a prelude to deeper pressure. His fingers worked along her back, easing away the tension, until he reached the small of her back. Then he focused on her responses, slowing when she shivered in unexpected delight, teasing those moments out longer.

James whispered against her ear about what he'd been imagining for them — edging, a tantalizing linger on the brink. His hands traced lower, fingers finding her, slow circles that built her up, only to ease away at the very peak. She gasped, hips tilting back, and he could feel her pulse beneath his touch, the water only amplifying the sensation. He continued the teasing rhythm, the anticipation building with each repeated circuit, until the restraint began to feel electric.
