"Here, try to relax," she says, guiding me onto my back along the bench. The water's on with just enough force to keep us reasonably warm. "All right, put that leg down there… and this one up like this. Deep breath… and don't move."

Now why on earth would I move when a girl has a pair of scissors between my legs?

The shaving gel feels cool and minty, and Bella's soft hands applying the gel feel even better. Oddly, I find myself getting hard again, which puzzles me, because I'm terrified.

"Think about your Happy Place, Edward," she advises.

"All finished!" Bella announces. She cups her hands together to collect water, then drizzles it over the newly shaved area, the warm cascade soothing yet surprisingly intense.

My hand moves down to inspect her work.

"Wow, it's so smooth," I marvel. And everything feels so much…more than before.

I smile down at Bella. "You did a great job."

"Not bad for my first time, eh?"

"WHAT?" I roar, popping up on the bench. "YOU HAD A RAZOR TO MY NUTS AND YOU'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE?"

"Mm hmm," she nods, giggling. "Gotta be a first time for everything!"

-o-

"Well, let's add THAT to the list of things I'm glad I didn't know earlier!"

She riffles her fingers through my wet hair and kisses my forehead. "Baby, hair is hair. Balls, pussies, or chins—it's all just follicles and shafts to me."

"Did you just insinuate that my face looks like a nut sac to you?"

She giggles at my heated outburst. "You know, you're adorable when you pout."

It's impossible to stay angry at Bella. "I am?"

She offers a hand and pulls me into her naked body. "You are."

I make-up kiss her under our makeshift waterfall.


A/N: Just for the record, he's not totally hairless, just sporting smooth balls and a trim thatch of undergrowth. Hope you enjoyed! XXX ~BOH
