Steam and Whispers

The water was already warm when Zoe stepped into the shower, steam swirling around her as droplets traced down her skin. She adjusted the spray, savoring the sensation, until Kyle joined her, closing the glass door behind him. The bathroom felt intimate, the only sounds their shared breaths and the steady rhythm of water against the tiles.

Kyle reached for the body wash, spreading suds across Zoe's shoulders, letting them slip down her back. She shivered slightly, more from anticipation than the warmth, as he began kissing along her neck, murmuring a teasing "I’ve got a fantasy for you." They’d been sharing fantasies more openly, a new indulgence that turned their mornings into something electrifying. Zoe tilted her head back, encouraging him, feeling the tickle of his lips as he spoke against her skin, detailing things they’d whispered but hadn’t tried.
