Derek:
Derek suddenly felt a bit more flushed himself as he returned her kiss,
awkwardly putting his arms around her. It wasn't as though she hadn't seen
him without clothes on before, but for some reason this seemed very
different. Perhaps, he realized because she might not have really seen him.
They were, after all, quite busy at the time. And he had never before in
his life had a woman do something so bold as to enter the bathroom while he
was in there. So, this whole thing was a completely new experience for him.
Something that might take a little getting used to. When they separated
from the kiss, his heart was still pounding though this time for different
reasons. "It is also a very good way for us both to drown," he pointed out
as he moved her wet hair out of her face.
