The Plot: Chapter 14

Hand on tap, about to let the shower run warm while she had a pee, she remembered the new bottle of conditioner was still in her handbag on the chair. Honestly, where was her head these days?
Not bothering with the robe, she stepped out into the bedroom. Neil would be downstairs, getting his breakfast.
‘Oh.’
He was there, bent over the chair. His gaze slid over her body. Lingering on his favourite bits.
Involuntarily, she covered herself with her hands. She’d grown shy in front of him.

Knuckles on hips now, outrage overcoming embarrassment. It was almost comical, the struggle for the upper hand. She naked and defiant; he cross-eyed with the effort of looking her in the face, not the tits or pussy.
He straightened, her phone in his hand. Still flushed, but confident now. So calm and reasonable.
‘Don’t look at me like that, Court. I just need to run an update, love. What’s your PIN these days?’
