Drowsy clouds of smoke.
Cotton opened her eyes into a bleary haze of...wet smoke? No. Fog. It swirled around her ankles. Fog so humid it was as if a hot-spring had risen up to slap her in the face. Her toes wiggled in the water at her feet, steam winding upward along her smooth legs.
Gathering her senses, she realized she was in some sort of oversized bath. Water jettisoned at the stone floor, evaporating into thick curls that had moistened her bare skin. Her buttocks felt comparatively cool against the shale bench and suddenly Cotton was very aware of her own nudity. She shifted on the rustic ledge, the cool rock-tile pressing in contrast against pink lips that peeked out between her thighs.
Squinting through the haze, the large shower was entirely foreign to her. Rising from the ledge, she realized it was built-in, window-seat style. Her hands slid along the dampened walls, defining the perimeter of the bath as quite sizeable. Multiple showerheads contributed to the eddies which fogged the glass door several steps away.
Stepping beneath a wide showerhead, she let the water course down over her body, causing her brown hair to darken further against pale skin. She couldn't remember what she had been doing before going to sleep.
There was a woosh-click as the full-sized door opened, sucking out a gulp of steam before closing again. Out of the misty vacuum, a man emerged and she realized then (as one does when dreaming) that this was his home...their home? It was unclear.
Cotton felt her heart skip a beat at the sight of his naked form. She couldn't recall having met him before. Appraising him now, she certainly didn't feel opposed to a friendly introduction. His arousal was as palpable as the white clouds of aether around them.
He crossed the shower-room, steam parting and closing the gap behind him, sealing the two of them behind a vaporous curtain. Short hair, medium build, the closer he came the more flushed her skin felt against the hot stream pouring over her shoulders. Time stretched like a rubber-band, contracting suddenly and bringing him right up to her.
His hand reached for her cheek, fingers slipping around the back of her neck as he pulled her against him. Cotton saw bluestone eyes just before his mouth was drinking the condensation from her lips as though she were an offering. His tongue darted out to mingle the hot water with the wetness of their kiss, free hand sliding down the curve of her shoulder as though slipping her from a robe of gossamer plumes.
Pushing her back against the wall, the coldness of the stone caused her to gasp and arch her body against his. He caught her round breast in his palm, testing the ripeness of those firm fruits. Rolling her tiny nipples between thumb and forefinger they perked against his chest, leaving his hand free to explore southward.
Before she knew what was happening, fingers had deftly slipped over the curve of her hip and between the swollen flesh that held the secrets of carnal pleasure. Cotton gasped, sensation washing over her in a hot wave. Her slender arms sought reinforcement around his neck to steady herself against him.
