The Designated Mate novel Chapter 50

I hadn't realized Knox entered the shower until his arms wrapped around my waist and he gently pulled my body back to rest against his own. I turned in his arms and pressed my face against his chest as my body wracked with silent sobs. He ghosted his hands up and down my back, his fingers feeling every groove and dip of my gnarled skin. I thought having someone touch the area so intimately and thoroughly after really seeing it would have caused me to freak out, but it didn't.

I let his hands continue to roam my back and calm me. When my cries subsided he turned me and pressed the front of my body flush against the shower wall. My breathing quickened as he pressed soft kisses starting at my neck, down to my shoulders, before finally reaching my upper back. I sucked in a deep breath and held it as he proceeded to press a delicate kiss to every single raised scar on my back. I couldn't help the tears that leaked from my eyes at the action. With every touch of his lips, the memory of that day faded a bit more until I saw and felt nothing but him and his love for me.

A breathy moan flew from my mouth as he scraped his teeth down from my lower back across the top of my ass, his hands flying up to grab the two rounded globes and squeeze harshly. Despite the icy chill of the water, a heat like no other took over my body starting right between my legs. He grabbed my hips and pulled them away from the wall, pulling my cheeks apart he surged forward and began to explore my slick folds without with his tongue. I grasped the ledge closest to me, knocking all the items off of it as Knox continued to slowly torture me with his expert tongue.

His hand came around my front and ventured between my legs to begin rubbing my clit in quick circles. The sensation was too much as I squeezed my eyes shut and let a scream tear from my chest. With his tongue massaging me and his fingers toying with my clit, I could feel the quick build of the orgasm I'd been denied earlier. I tried desperately to hold out as long as possible, wanting to prolong the pleasure for as long as I was physically able, but I just couldn't. My thighs clamped shut around Knox's hand and my legs shook, my orgasm hitting me like a sack of bricks. I opened my mouth to scream once again but nothing came out as the edges of my vision began to blur.

My body sagged against the wall as Knox stood back up, his hands never leaving my body.

"I'm going to take care of you," he murmured, "and once we've laid down for bed, I want to know everything," he finished, just a whisper against the shell of my ear. I nodded in agreement as he grabbed my shampoo and proceeded to squirt far too much into the palm of his hand, threading his fingers through my hair and pressing them against my scalp. He used just the right amount of pressure that my eyes fluttered closed with the incredible sensation. I peeked an eye open after a few minutes as he moved on to wash the rest of my hair, giggling when I watched his face scrunch into one of confusion at how many suds there were. He growled playfully when he caught me laughing before carefully guiding me back under the water. It took him longer than it should have to rinse out all the shampoo, but I didn't mind. I quite liked him doting on me and taking care of me.

That was until he went straight from shampoo to body wash and completely skipped conditioner.

"...Yes?" he answered, obviously clueless as to where I was going with the point I was making.

"That wouldn't be possible unless I used conditioner. Without it, my hair would be a tangled mess," I explained before grabbing the bottle off the shelf and rubbing the product into the bottom half of my hair. He watched me with a comical look on his face; as if he were trying to solve the hardest mathematical equation. I just laughed before motioning towards the two things in his hands once again, signaling for him to continue what he was doing before I stopped him.

"I'll just have to take your word for it," he chuckled before quickly lathering the soap and beginning to wash my body. He paid special attention to my breasts and ass, causing me to giggle girlishly and swat his hands away after a very thorough washing. I would've let him continue, but I was already starting to prune.
