your secrets are safe with me, I wasn't even listening

He made her bolder, made her feel like she was actually sexy and not just the sweet girl next door. Despite how fun it had been to tease him and play incredibly dumb, she conceded quickly, breath catching in her throat as he hitched her leg up to curl it around his waist. They’d showered together before but never had sex in one. Holden seemed to be a first for a lot of Ruby’s things. Her knee’s went a little weak as he brushed his head against her core and she was grateful of the wall behind her, keeping her back straight. “So have me then,” she breathed, “i’m all yours.”

Ruby barely had a moment to revel in her silly game, before Holden had finally had enough of her teasing and spun her around, pressing her back into the tiles. She wrapped her arms around his neck and tangled her fingers in his air, pulling him impossibly closer. “I learned from the best,” she mumbled against his lips, as they kissed hotly and passionately under the spray of the shower.

The though of his sweet Ruby being such a tease. There was no doubt that she was a fast learner but Holden also knew that there was more to her than what most people thought, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. He lifted her leg, holding it against his own hip and rubbed himself against her. Shower sex had just moved to the top of things to do more often. “I need you”.

Ruby stifled a laugh as Holden finally confessed what he wanted. She was never the kind of girl that played silly games like this, but the more time she spent with her handsome boyfriend, the more she liked to tease, to make him  work for it. “Oh,” she breathed out, the steam rising around their bodies, making it a little harder to focus. “You should have just said that then,” she teased him.

“You tease” he smirked, his voice low and dripping with lust. His mind was clouded with all these thoughts of her, so much so that Holden didn’t even realize what she’d been trying to do. There were limits to what a guy could handle. He wanted her, like really. He turned her around and gently pushed her against the tiles before crashing his lips against hers.

Her confidence seemed to grow by the minute around Holden, he made her want to be more self-assured, more stubborn. So she would dig her heels in and play his little game. His fingers brushing across her clit made her lips part and her eyes flutter shut and she was grateful her back was against his chest and he couldn’t watch her falter for a moment. “Be more specific,” she demanded, her back arching into his touch, ass pressing into his throbbing erection. 

Holden closed his eyes and took a deep breath. She wanted to play and he liked that sweet torture. He pressed a sweet kiss her shoulder as his free arm wrapped around her middle. His lips left a hot trail of kisses up her neck until he reached her ear again. “I want you. I want to be inside you again’ he said “can’t be more specific than that”.

It seemed like this was going to be a fun game for the two of them to play, as Ruby felt Holden’s heart thudding rhythmically against her shoulder, his arms circled around her, holding her tight. She could feel him hardening against her and a small shiver ran through her body, despite the warmth of the water splashing against them. She would keep up her sweet, innocent bit until she couldn’t take it anymore and he would try his god damned hardest to get her to falter. “That depends…” she murmured softly, her head falling back into the crook of his neck. “How special?” 

He could feel her body tremble and knew that in spite of what she wanted him to think, she wouldn’t be able to keep this little act too long. Even if he was enjoying it. When his fingers found her clit, teasing mercilessly, Holden had to refrain from just turning her around and pressing her back against the tiles. “The special kind that’s only meant for you, baby” he whispered.

“What a burden you bear, Holden,” Ruby murmured mockingly, as he slipped in behind her. She enjoyed the heat radiating from both his skin against her own, and the warm water beating down on them. Showering together wasn’t exactly something they did often, but with the way that she felt his cock hardening against her ass cheeks, maybe it should happen more often. “What do you have in mind?” she asked, her voice sweet and innocent, disguising the wicked smirk that crossed her lips as his teeth connected with her earlobe. 

Only her could get these primal reactions out of him, especially when he knew that she knew exactly what he meant. His heart was pounding; lust seems to have permeated every fiber of his being. Moving his hand lower, Holden eventually reached the spot between her legs and pushed one finger past her folds. How long would she be able to keep that sweet, innocent them of hers?  “I have a special load of you” he whispered in her ear, pressing his erection against her back. “Think you can help a guy out?”

Ruby watched as he untangled himself from his clothing. She shimmied her underwear and skirt down her legs and swept them off, before letting Holden tug her softly to the bathroom. She was grateful that she hadn’t worn any make up that morning, as she reached into the shower and turned the knob, sending the water spraying across the tiles. “Did you have scrub your girlfriends back clean on your to do list today?” she teased him, as she stepping under the shower head, letting the water run over and down her hair, steam already beginning to rise around them.

“Just added it to my list” he smiled as he stepped into the cubicle and closed the door behind them. But instead of grabbing the loofah, he pressed himself against her back and wrapped his arms around her. “But” he started before placing a sweet kiss in the cook of her neck, lips lingering there to gauge her reaction. Holden let his hands wander south to reach her stomach as he kissed his way up her neck to end up gently nibbling her ear.  “I have something else in mind first”.

This wasn’t a victory for her really, not even close. Despite the fact they’d stopped arguing and both gotten off. There was still the underlying insecurity that both of them faced, both alone and together. But there would be time for that later. Right now, he was saying a sentence that she really wanted to hear. “Yes,” she nodded eagerly, finally rising up off of his lap, her arms outstretched above her head as she let out a loud yawn. She was almost like a man today, she simply wanted to have sex, shower then sleep. “Lead the way,” she murmured, as she offered her hands to tug Holden up from his seated position on the couch.

His lower stomach came alive again at sight of her almost naked body. He gave her a lustful look but didn’t even realize an appreciative groan had slipped past his lips. As his eyes lingered on her lips he felt the urge to pull her back onto his lap but instead, accepted her offer to help him up. There would be time for that once he had her where he wanted her, preferably wet and with her back pressed against the shower tiles. Once Holden was on his feet, he kicked his jeans and boxers off and led the way to the bathroom without letting of her hands.

Ruby should have known that the moment she hid her face from him in embarrassment, he would seize upon it, to dive a little further under her skin. She really should have known, as he moved her head softly and brushed the raven locks out from her eyes, his lips curved up in a wicked smirk. He wasted zero time connecting his mouth with hers again and she sighed contentedly into the kiss. How could either of them still be mad, really? Turns out some impulse sex and cookies were all it would take to fix things in the future, another thing she could file away about Holden and their relationship. His comment made her roll her eyes, her eyebrow arching at him. “It worked, didn’t it?” Ruby countered quickly, another wave of embarrassment tinting her already blushed cheeks even more red. God damn it. “I was fighting fire with fire,” she shrugged, trying to appear as nonchalant as possible. Though, knowing her, she probably failed greatly.

“Sure did” he agreed, still amused. Something about the way she blushed told him that she clearly didn’t think this through but there was no doubt that she’d found the best way to fix thing. He couldn’t blame her for wanting to distract him  because although he was aware of her insecurities, he didn’t really voice his when it came to her. He just wasn’t sure how he felt about falling for it since he had missed an occasion to come clean about it. Ruby was the one person he always tried to be 100% honest with. Holden was however in a good mood though and figured that talk could wait another day. “Okay, Mata Hari. You wanna shower with me?”

Ruby was dumb in a lot of ways. She definitely had zero “street smarts” and she didn’t have a clue about a ton of stuff, but she knew that if she could make him, of all people, tremble and groan the way that she was currently doing, she was a lot smarter than she realised. As their relief swept over them, the room was filled with a comfortable silence, the sounds of their breathing returning to normal. She stayed, straddling his lap, unwilling to move off of him, as he held her close, like she was the most precious jewel in the world to him. And really, she should have known that she was. “Holden,” she hissed at his comment, her voice raising several octaves higher as she buried her now bright red face into the crook of his neck. The moment of her feeling confident and like a god damn sexual goddess. Now she was simply back to being Ruby; quiet, shy and incredibly self conscious. “I just really, really didn’t want to fight anymore,” she commented shyly from under her long dark hair, gazing up to meet his eyes.

His smile turned into a full blown smirk as she buried her face in the crook of his neck. It seemed that she was now retreating back into her shell but he wasn’t planning to make it easy for her. Not too easy anyway. He needed to tease her about this a little. Titled his head to the sideline, he moved her hair out of her face. Her beautiful face. Their gazes locked. Holden couldn’t resist pressing another kiss to her lips. “I didn’t want to fight anymore either” he agreed although he didn’t think they would after their discussion. Lazily running one hand down her back, he let out a content sigh. He wouldn’t mind staying here and like this forever, forget about everything else and just remain in their own bubble. “So you decided to use sex to distract me?” He teased.

There was something incredibly hot about how his skin became littered with goosebumps at her mere touch. Maybe she really wasn’t as amateur as she thought she was in bed. Food for thought. Although, she already knew that her face would blush bright red after they were done and the post-nut-clarity kicked in, as she fumbled for her shirt and fixed her panties. No regrets though, it was good to know she was capable. Was this the first time she’d been on top during sex with him? She couldn’t remember. Every touch that Holden gave her, made her skin feel like it was on fire; a fire that only he could quench. Their bodies were covered in a thin sheen of sweat as she pressed together, racing towards the finish line. “Me too,” she panted breathlessly, her grip on the back of his hair tightening as the band in her stomach came close to snapping. “God, Holden, i’m gonna cum,” she moaned into his ear, her movements speeding up as she fell over the edge, chanting his name like a god damn prayer.

Was she even aware of the effect she had on him? Just a kiss, a look, the sound of her voice or her touch and he was at her mercy. Not to mention she him wrapped around her little finger and Holden wouldn’t have it any other way. The sound of her voice sent shivers down his spine. He could indeed tell she was close by the way her walls cling to him with every stroke, on the verge of successfully milking him dry. Her moaning did it for him. He was almost blindsided as the force of it sent his muscles into a frenzy, her name coming out as a whisper as Holden tried his best to keep up the rhythm. The sweet, momentary but powerful sensation left him feeling like the king of the world as he eventually stilled his movements. He was spent but happy and definitely feeling great. His chest heaved, his sweaty skin sliding against hers. Bringing one hand up to cup her cheek, he pressed a kiss to her lips and smiled. “You did fuck me really good”.

It seemed that with each passing day, Ruby shed a little more of her soft and meek skin. Evolving into what exactly, she did not know, but she was sure as hell down for the ride. Not that she wanted to become like any of the other girls they knew, or that he had dated in the past. Holden loved her because of who she was at her core; quiet, gentle and kind. But she was almost entirely certain that he wouldn’t mind some changes. His head lolled back against the couch and she found the urge to grin victoriously at how at her mercy he had become, their hips finding a quick and steady rhythm together. His whisper made her groan and she let him pull her even closer to him (how it was even possible, Ruby had no clue) and kiss her fiercely. She moaned into his mouth and shuddered, as he thrusted into her sweet spot over and over, her body quivering at the sensation. “Holden,” she breathed against his lips. 

Feeling her body quiver against his caused goosebumps to erupt over his skin. He was definitely at her mercy, fingers digging into her tender flesh to somehow attempt to get more of her. It was exactly were he was supposed to be, right against her, making one with her. Shivers ran down his spine, at she repeatedly impaled herself onto him. The friction was threatening to drive him over the edge sooner than he’d like to because, damn, this felt fantastic. The tension in his stomach was indeed reaching the point of non return. “I’m close” he warned between gasps.

It was like her body had completely taken over her brain. The organ wasn’t working the way that it normally did, keeping her sensible and not driven by pure need. Turns out she was capable of taking control of some situations. Good to know. Holden brought her attention back to him, thrusting more of his cock into her hand. “Patience,” she purred, biting down on her bottom lip as he slipped her underwear to the side. She ran her fingers through his hair and kissed down his neck, knowing what was to come. Using his shoulders as leverage, she angled her body up and back down. She sank down on him, she felt her fingers tighten their hold on his shoulder and neck, moaning softly as she enveloped him entirely in her heat. “God,” she whispered, as she began moving against him.

“Tease” he smiled, letting his head fall back against the couch to give her better access. “I love it”. This side of her was new and hot. He loved it as much as her more reserved sign. She sank down on him, the sensation sending waves of pleasure through his body. It was perfect, she was perfect and he wanted even more. He searched for her gaze and ran his hands up her thighs, gripping either sides of her waist as he rolled his hips into hers. “You feel so good” he whispered. The urge to kiss her was overwhelming; he couldn’t get enough of her. Their connection was undeniable too, so much so that it felt like their fight never happened. His hands slid up her sides, arms wrapping around her waist to pull her closer and press a hungry kiss to her lips.

It was almost too easy for the couple to slip into their own little world, away from the argument and accusations. Just the two of them, here alone, wrapped around one another. Ruby fought the urge to grin triumphantly when he agreed not to fight and the two of them gave into their more carnal instincts. The first few times they’d had sex, she’d been nervous, terrified even, but now she was becoming more and more comfortable and secure in herself, her body and her abilities under the sheets. Much like their first sexual encounter together, when she blew him to say thank you, she was happy to take control today. “You’re driving me crazy,” Ruby retorted, a little breathlessly as he removed his shirt and kissed all over her neck, his hands running all over her body until they settled underneath her skirt, tracing circles on her clit. She sucked in a breath and moved her own hands to tug at his jeans, pulling both them and his boxers down, springing his cock free from their cotton confines. Her eyes widened slightly for a moment; she would probably never get used to seeing him like this. “I want to fuck you,” she murmured, one of her hands wrapping around his length and pumping softly.

He pulled back and lifted his hips, making it easier for her to pull his pants down. He was more than happy to see her in charge but wasn’t prepared for what she said next. He looked up at her but whatever he was going to say caught in his throat as she wrapped one of her hands around him. Holden doubted she’d have said something like this a few months ago but was happy to see her gain in self confidence. She was beautiful, smart, strong and even though she was still working on it, there was no doubt that some day she would become a confident woman. His hips seemed to have a mind of their own as he thrusted into her hand, silently begging for more. He was so turned on right now that his hesitation now seemed ridiculous. “What are you waiting for?” he smiled, pulling her panties aside “I’m all yours”.

Maybe Ruby’s brain was delayed and she wasn’t thinking one hundred percent clearly and she would regret how she was acting later. But right now, her focus was on him as he kissed her back with as much passion as she had. “Holden,” she whined softly, pouting her full lips, as he questioned her motives. Maybe she had been spending too much time with Cassie. “I want to,” she answered honestly. And truly she did. Plus, she didn’t really want to argue anymore, they were both sorry and felt hurt and sad about what they’d said/done. There wasn’t much left to say right now, especially when the tensions were higher than usual. Ruby wasn’t the most confident when it came to between the sheets stuff and normally it was her priority to make things right with her words instead of her body, but there was definitely a time and a place for this way. She continued to tug at his zipper until it was all of the way down before she tugged off her own shirt and tossed it on to the floor. “I don’t want to fight,” she murmured before focusing her attention on to his lips, kissing him softly and sweetly, in contrast to how her body pressed against his, pushing him into the couch.

“Hm?” he hummed, pouting his lips playfully. The atmosphere had suddenly shifted. A smirk tugged at the corners of Holden’s lips as Ruby pulled her shirt over her head to reveal her chest. Okay, he made a mental note to never question her motives again. It wasn’t like he wasn’t planning to resist anyway. He liked what was looking at and wanted her to know it. “Then let’s not fight” he agreed. She didn’t have to beg. His hands immediately flew to her back, unclasping her bra as they kissed. It wasn’t long before Holden’s shirt joined hers on the floor and suddenly, as they sat there, chests pressed against one another’s, their fight almost felt trivial to him. “You’re driving me crazy” he breathed against her lips. The way her body pressed against his, igniting that fire in the pit of his stomach was absolutely delicious. He kissed his way down her neck as his hands found their way to her thighs and disappeared underneath her skirt. His cock twitched and swelled at the mere thought of being inside her. The sound of his own heavy breathing echoed in his ears. His hesitation had definitely vanished. Slipping his thumb into her panties, he teasingly stroke her clit.
