DAY 13: Tease

They cautiously eased into the hot, relaxing water together and almost moaned at how good it felt. Jets on the floor of the small Jacuzzi produced tiny bubbles that tickled their skin. The massage jets on the sides were turned off for now, but they planned on putting them to good use as soon as they got acclimated to the high temperature.

They sat side by side, enveloped in the steam that rose from the surface. Kate's head fell to Rick's shoulder with a sigh, his arm wrapping around her. When she had first found out that he had a Jacuzzi in the loft, she had been put off by the idea. She'd thought of it as a rich, snobbish thing to buy for your own home, but the moment Rick had finally convinced her to try it out and she'd slipped into the luxurious, softly massaging warmth, she had changed her opinion entirely.

Now, it was one of her favorite places. It was big enough for four people, with two wide benches on each side. If only two occupied it, each person could rest their feet on the opposite bench and relax even more. The position was perfect to read a book and even more comfortable than her old tub.

His hand on her stomach stirred her out of her reverie; the fingers that had been softly brushing against her side slowly made their way lower. His erection had – in varying stages – been present ever since they had stepped out of the shower, and Kate was actually quite impressed that he had made it through all that time without advancing on her.

"I can restrain myself if I want to" he answered and his ability to read her thoughts never ceased to surprise her. A thought occurred to her and her eyebrows rose in challenge.

"Oh really?" she asked and let her hand travel up and down his thigh. He swallowed.

"Aren't the last thirteen days proof of it?"

She only smiled coyly, her lower lip sucked behind her teeth. Teasingly Kate slipped out of his grasp, settling on the opposite bench and putting her legs up at each side of his hips. One foot brushed purposefully against his sensitive hipbone, her eyes gleaming dangerously as she watched his jaw clench. She reached out for the controls and turned on the side jets.

He could only gulp and clench his fists when she leaned back and relaxed, breathing in deeply, arching her back and thrusting her breasts forwards, moaning louder than necessary as the jets worked the knots of stress and tension out of her back.

Her foot slid over his thigh and into his lap and he gasped when she pressed intimately against him.

"Kate" he called out and she met his gaze again.

"Rick" she answered teasingly, her voice throaty and smooth, her foot travelling along his length and stomach. His control snapped and he swatted her foot away so that he could lean over, grab her and pull her against him, his mouth crashing down and devouring hers as he hauled her into his lap. Her groan vibrated through his entire body and when she rocked against him, their hot centers sliding deliciously against each other, he couldn't hold back his own sound of pleasure.

"Is that what you call restraining yourself?" she asked huskily as they pulled apart for air. He nibbled on her earlobe.
"You're a tease" he growled and slid his hands around to her breasts. She rocked against him again and he let one hand trail a path down her body until his thumb brushed against her clit. She pulled his face back to hers and he swallowed her moans as he worked her up to a peak. Their lips pressed passionately against each other and his tongue flicked out to tease hers, mimicking the motions of his fingers below. Just as she was teetering on that wonderful edge, he broke the kiss and drew his hands away and placed them on her waist.

"No, don't stop" she protested and tried to slide her center along his shaft, but his hands stopped her and held her firmly out of reach.

"More" she whispered and started to pepper his face with kisses, nibbling on his earlobe to distract him. He angled his head to give her better access to his neck, but made no move to release her from the tension he had so expertly created.

"Touch me, Rick" she pleaded, not caring about dignity or the like anymore. "I just need you. Oh god, fuck me" she moaned, playing out the "dirty" card to break his resolve. "Take me, fuck me, I need you" she tried to seduce him, but he was stronger than that and she both hated and loved him for it.

When his hands only teased at the swell of her bottom, his grip firm but not as low as she wanted, she realized that he wasn't going to give her what she so desperately craved. He was completely taken aback when she pushed away from him and turned towards the opposite bench again, settling down with her back to him and her front to the wall, her legs spread wide and her arms braced on the edge of the Jacuzzi. His eyes almost popped out of his head.

Her head fell back with a low groan and he realized in shock that she had positioned herself so that the stream of the jets directly aimed at her clit.

"Kate" he moaned and stood up behind her, his hands coming up to wrap around her waist and cup her breast as he pressed his body into her back. "God Kate. Fuck."

She shivered wildly and bucked her hips as the strong beam drove her closer to the edge and Rick finally helped her along and pinched her nipple as he held her tightly.

She screamed and pressed back against him, her hips arching to get a better angle for the jet.

"Turn it…ohhhh shit…turn it up…ahhh…stronger" she gasped and blindly fumbled for the controls, just out of her reach. He released her breast and found the controls, turning the jets up another level. She started to whimper in response, her legs quivering as she tried to stay upright.

"Have you…have you done this before?" Rick pressed out, his fingers finding her nipple again, rolling and pinching in a rhythm he knew she enjoyed.

"Yes!" she screamed. "Yes! Gaahhh!"
"Without me?" he croaked.

But he didn't get a response and could only hold her when her entire body tensed up and she screamed out her release like never before, her muscles spasming and shaking until she collapsed against him.

"Ohhhhh" was the only thing she could say as tingles of hot electricity continued to shoot through her clit and lower body. In a presence of mind that surprised her, Rick turned off the jets.

"That was so hot. Shit, you are amazing" he whispered into her ear as he held her and let her catch her breath. "I can't believe the fucking whirlpool can give you a harder orgasm than I can…" he wondered out loud, but it sounded mesmerized rather than jealous.

"It's just…different stimulation" she explained as she turned her head to press a kiss to his jaw.

She relaxed into his strong hold and became aware of his erection, insistent against her butt cheeks.

"Do you have a condom?" she asked softly and laid her hands on top of his arms encircling her waist.

"No. Why? We haven't used one in ages" he queried and kissed her wet shoulder. They were both clean and Kate took great care of remembering her pill.

"Yes" she agreed, "but here in the water, it's different."

"We don't use them in the shower" he argued, not because he disagreed or didn't respect her request, but because he knew he'd have to get out of the water and even out of the room to retrieve the condoms that were stashed by his bedside. He knew that she just didn't like it when he came in the water, but…

"God Kate, you just came, there is already stuff floating around here that shouldn't be and…" he trailed off when he noticed her expression. Was she actually blushing? After all of this?

"Kate?" he said softly, but she kept avoiding his gaze.

"I just…Ineedaminute" she mumbled quietly and he almost didn't understand her. But he did, and his eyebrows shot up in realization.
"Oh. Of course. Yeah. Of course" he murmured and tried to soothe her embarassment by pressing another kiss to her shoulder.

Those situations were usually reversed. He couldn't remember Kate even so much as slowing down after an orgasm, but today must have really worn her out.

He settled her down onto the bench and dropped a sweet kiss to her temple before he slipped away to find some condoms and give her time to return to planet earth.
