900 Only kissing

"Your underwear is here." Ellie threw three boxes at Jasper which he caught skillfully. "Go and shower first.", she instructed him.

"Alone?" His disappointment was obvious.

"Yes." She refused him flatly.

Jasper is not the one to give up easily.

"Ellie, I know that I'm still on probation, and that you said how you don't want to go beyond kissing. And I promised that I will kiss all your doubts away." He extended his arm toward Ellie, palm up. "Allow me to fulfill my part of the promise."

"Only kissing.", Ellie said firmly.

She knows that this is not a good idea if she wants to stay away from intimacy, but part of her is eager to see if he can stick to his promise.

"Can I use my hands to wash your back?"

She placed her hand in his as an agreement and followed him to the bathroom. "Why do I have a feeling that you have something on your mind?"
