He was trembling and he didn't know why. The shower was just on the comfortable side of hot and the room filled with clouds of steam.

"Easy." That smooth, bass voice purred from behind him, breath caressing his ear. "This ain't goin' nowhere you don't want it to."

Large hands, slick with soap, settled on his shoulders. Deft fingers dug into his too tense flesh, kneading away the knots they found there and sending shivers like lightening down his spine.

He shouldn't have taken this job. It had gone so wrong. Where had he lost his sense of purpose, his professional detachment? He could list the reasons why he shouldn't be doing this, but he wanted it so badly.

A soft kiss was placed between his shoulder blades, just before those strong, undemanding hands moved down to rest at his waist.

Karl turned around, stepping closer into that magnificent body, chest to chest, cock to cock, drawn to this man's magnetic presence.

A hand reached up to cup his cheek, thumb rubbing over his lips as though…

What was left of his carefully constructed mask was washing away beneath the spray leaving him truly naked, without defences.

"Please?" His voice came out torn. He wasn't even sure what he was asking for as he met those dark eyes with his own.

Powerful arms wrapped around him, drawing him in as he laid his head against a muscular shoulder.

"Let it go," Vin told him. "I got ya."
