Riley’s POV

The steam in the bathroom had thickened, clinging to the mirrors and the walls as I stepped out of the shower, feeling the cool air hit my damp skin. Ethan was still in there, the water running, but I couldn’t help but linger outside, feeling like I was floating on the high of what had just happened.

When he finally stepped out, water dripping down his toned body, I leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed over my chest, watching him dry off.
