My chest starts heaving, my heart hammering, and before I know it, my fingers push into his hair and I pull him to my lips at the same time he slams me back against the shower wall and crushes his mouth with mine.

Pure Moon, I’m sorry to say, falls into that trap. If I have ever had a criticism of found family stories, it’s that unless they’re exceptionally written, you can all too easily end up with a tale that fails to develop any aspect of itself beyond the found family dynamic in a satisfying way.
