Take your time and relax.

Beth balked at the prospect of rushing her shower along to do chores. She decided to take her time and relax instead, soaping and rinsing every part of her body with deliberate care. She loved the indulgent activity, but as it often did, it made her long for other hands besides her own to be touching her body.

After a nice, leisurely shower, Beth finished by shaving her legs, and then she stepped out of the shower to towel off. Then she wrapped the towel around her chest and snagged her phone on the way down the stairs to the kitchen. As she bent over in front of the fridge to snag a yogurt, she noticed that she had a voicemail from Brian.
