His velvet obsession
“Let it soak. I know it hurts.”
He reached for the black bottle on the ledge—the one labeled Vesper in sharp silver letters, the same cedar scent that always clung to his skin. He poured a generous amount into his palm, worked it into a rich lather, and started at my shoulders. His hands moved in slow, firm strokes down my arms, then across my collarbones. When he cupped my breasts, thumbs circling the sensitive peaks, I shivered. The soap slipped over my skin like silk, and he took his time, lathering every curve as if he were memorizing the exact places his mouth had been earlier.
