Zander laid awake thinking of what the day was going to bring him, today was the day in front of the Grand Jury and he was concerned. He glanced over to the alarm clock that sat on the night stand next to him, he had a few more hours before he had to be at the courthouse, but he climbed out of bed and walked to the bathroom. He closed the door behind him once inside so he wouldn't wake Emily. He stripped from his boxers and turned on the faucet in the shower. Pulling the lever to the shower head, the water sprayed down in an even stream and he stepped in. The water pounded against his tired muscles as he leaned back his head, saturating his skin, the warm water released his worries.
He turned into the water spray and it fell down across his chest, water beaded against his skin as the steam rose to the ceiling. He heard the door to the bathroom open and shortly after heard Emily call his name.
"Zander?" He peeked his head out of the shower and saw her standing in the doorway letting all the cold air in, it gave him goosebumps and made him shiver. "Are you okay?" she asked when she saw his head peek out from behind the curtain.
"I'm okay. If you're coming in close the door, please. It's a tad chilly in here with the door open." he chuckled and then saw her step inside and close the door.
"Sorry."
He closed the curtain again and reached for the bar of soap sitting in the tray. He rolled the soap in his hands and made a frothy lather. She peeked in to see him applying the lather in his hands to his chiseled form and she smiled.
"Need any help?" she flirted. He noticed she had already discarded the robe she was wearing as he pulled back the shower curtain and invited her in with him. He handed her the bar of soap and she took it in her hands. The lather she made, she applied to his skin as he felt her hands caress his tired muscles in his back. He turned into her, so she could lather up the other side of him, her hands dripping with soap, caressed his chest, then his stomach, and he felt them wander down to his lower abdomen. Her fingers brushed against him as he leaned down and tenderly kissed her.
He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him, the kiss deepened and became more passionate as he backed her up against the shower wall. Her hand found itself wrapped around him. His kisses continued down along her neck, then down the front of her. A sigh of pleasure escaped her lips as her eyes fluttered close, her hands now intertwined in his coal black hair, pressing him to her. His mouth wandered down the front of her, leaving a trail of kisses, her insides quivered as he explored every inch of her.
The water cascading over their naked bodies as he picked up her up in his arms and she wrapped her legs around his waist. His mouth found hers once more as she sat down on top of him. Another moan of pleasure escaped her lips and it echoed through him. He held her against him as he pushed her back against the shower wall. Her hands caressed the nape of his neck, as his kisses trailed down her neck, he nuzzling against her soft skin.
He watched as her eyes fluttered close and her tongue caressed her lips. His mouth found hers once more as he felt the juices inside her wash over him. She left out a pleasure cry as her body quivered against him. He held her in his arms and turned around, so he was now against the shower wall, still connected, the pace quickened and he felt himself about to explode inside her.
She fell limp against him, still connected, she left out another sigh. He lifted her from him and reached up with his hand and brushed back her auburn hair from her face. Water beads trickled down her nose as he leaned in once more and kissed her tenderly.
"I love you Zander ....so much. No matter what happens today, remember that." He pulled her to him as he wrapped his arms around her and smiled.
"I know, and I love you too, baby."
He pulled back the shower curtain and grabbed a bath towel from the rack. She stepped out and wrapped herself in it as he went and turned off the water. She grabbed him another towel and handed it to him. He wrapped it around his waist and stepped out of the shower. She led the way back into the bed room and he followed close behind. She went to the closet and opened up the door, thinking of what they should wear to the courthouse. She wanted him to look nice, so she pulled out one of his black suits and showed it to him.
"The black suit today?" she asked as she held it up for him to see. He glanced at the clock on the night stand, they still had a few more hours to spare, and he walked over to her, took the suit from her hands and hung it back in the closet. She gave a confused look to him in return as he looked back at her.
"I didn't say anything about getting dressed, yet." he quietly said as he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bed. She giggled as he laid her down, her towel opening up to reveal her to him. Her hand reached for the towel still wrapped around his waist and she gave it a tug. It opened up and fell to the floor in a pile around his feet. Her eyes wandered up, catching a glimpse of him before their eyes met.
She could feel his eyes devouring every inch of her as she reached for his hand. He climbed into bed with her and pulled the blankets up and over their bodies. All he wanted to do was lay next to her and feel her against him, she draped her arm across his body and laid her head in the niche of his shoulder.
She could hear his heart pounding in his chest as he wrapped his arm around her and held her close to him. She could feel his fears twist and turn inside him as she laid against him and she knew his nightmare was far from over.
