right back out and give him a piece of her mind but Jake was crowding her back into the stall.
    Water poured over her head.  “Dammit, Jake, quit pushing me.”  She shoved her wet hair out of her face and glared at him.  “I don’t have to be at work for another three hours.  I’d prefer to sleep.”
    Jake grinned and grabbed a bottle of shampoo.  He squirted it into his palm before putting his hand in her hair.  “You can go back to bed after our shower and breakfast.”
    Kaylie wanted to argue but the words died on her tongue as he started massaging the shampoo into her scalp.  “Okay,” she sighed.
    He laughed and shoved her head under the spray to wash the soap out of her hair.  When he was done, Jake maneuvered her so he could wet his own hair.  Kaylie watched him for a second and decided if she had to be in the shower, she would finish up quickly.  She slathered conditioner in her hair.  After she finished, a wash cloth hit her in the chest.
    “Give me a hand,” Jake said.
    Kaylie scowled.  “Bossy much?” she asked.  Still, she poured some body wash into the cloth and lathered it up.  “Hope you’re okay with smelling girly today, because this is pear and green apple body wash.”
    Jake just smirked at her, so Kaylie started running the soapy cloth over his shoulders and chest.  She hummed under her breath as she moved her hands over his skin.  Suddenly, she wasn’t as annoyed with Jake for dragging her out of bed so early.  She worked her way to his back, down to his ass.  She gestured for him to turn and had to giggle when he faced her.  She was eye level with his erection. 
    “It really has been a while for you, hasn’t it?” she joked.  “It hasn’t even been fifteen minutes and you’re ready to go?”
    Jake grabbed her hand before she could start washing him.  “It’s been close to a year, Kaylie.  It just wasn’t worth it anymore.”
    She stared up at him.  “What wasn’t worth it?” she asked.
    Jake’s hand cupped her cheek.  “Pretending I was over you.”
    Kaylie’s heart dropped into her stomach.  What was she supposed to say to that?  He just admitted that he had pined for her and damn if it didn’t make her tummy flutter.  She looked up at him, completely unsure of what she wanted to say.
    After a few seconds, Jake’s face shut down and Kaylie literally felt him withdraw.  Without thinking, she said, “It’s been over a year for me too, Jake.”  She reached up and cupped his face.  “I don’t know why, but I just never found what I was looking for.”
    Jake’s expression softened and he pulled her against him to kiss her.  It was sweet and almost painful.  He’d never kissed her like that before and Kaylie felt her knees melt.  He lifted his head and smiled at her.
    “Okay, I’ll finish.  If I’m going to make you some eggs, I need to get going.”
    Kaylie appreciated the out he gave her.  The emotional, mushy stuff had never been her forte and she wasn’t ready to discuss what she was feeling.  There were too many things holding her back.  She handed him the wash cloth and watched him quickly wash the rest of his body.  Kaylie rinsed the conditioner out of her hair as he stepped out of the shower and started drying himself off.  She cleaned her face, shaved her legs, and washed with her body wash.  It seemed very intimate to her that she and Jake would go through their day smelling the same.
    She refused to dwell on it and got out of the shower.  Kaylie dried off before heading into her bedroom to get dressed.  The smell of coffee and bacon drifted into the room and her stomach growled.  Beans was curled up in the center of her bed, glaring at her from under heavy eyelids.
    “Sorry, Beans.  No bacon for you.”
    Kaylie wrapped her towel around her head and grabbed a simple outfit out of her closet.  Normally, she liked to look well put together before she went into the shop, but she decided that she would spend the day
