I wrap my hair in a towel and put my clothes on. I love my pajamas. They’re a tank and short shorts combo, silky satin and the color of copper.
I take my hair down, brush it and dry it with a hairdryer I found in the one of the drawers. And I’m finally ready to sleep.
I walk out of the bathroom over to the bed and face plant.

I come home from the club pretty late tonight.
I walk into my bedroom and see Tina face down spread eagle on my bed. I’d recognize that ass anywhere. Her shorts are so short I can see the swell of her butt cheeks.
I actually turned around and looked at the doorway to my room.
Am I in the right house?
I go back out as quietly as I can and find Ghost. He tells me Tina’s apartment isn’t secure so he brought Nat and Tina here.
He tells me Nat is sleeping in Max’s room and he’ll share with Max because he’s concussed and needs to be woken every hour tonight.
What the hell?
I ask what happened and Ghost tells me that Nat and Tina went all Rambo on him. Tina beat the shit out of Max with a mop. I actually burst into laughter.
Ghost tells me Tina’s cat is somewhere in the house, most likely in bed with Ceecee. And that he put Tina in my room because I wasn’t home at the time.
I call bullshit.
&nb
sp; I think my friend is playing matchmaker.
I bid him goodnight, go back to my room and take in Tina’s sleeping form.
My fantasies are coming to life right before me. If only she would lift her head and invite me over. This is slightly awkward. I usually sleep naked. I probably shouldn’t tonight though.
Perhaps she won’t mind.
Nope. Not a good idea.
I go into the bathroom and shower quickly. I walk back into my room naked and think about what I can wear to bed. I don’t wear underwear a lot of the time but I do have some boxers somewhere.
After searching the drawers for a few minutes I find some plain black silky boxers.
They’ll do.
I walk over to the bed, pick Tina up, pull back the covers and settle us both in. She doesn’t even stir.
Poor baby. So tired.
I pull her body back into mine so her back is firmly joined with my chest. I put my arms around her waist, push my knees into the back of hers and inhale the scent of her hair. She smells like me.
I like that.
I like that Tina is in my bed with me and we haven’t had sex. It’s more than that with her. I want to be her protector and the one who she comes to with her problems.
She feels so good against me. So soft and lush. I could get used to this.
Contentment washes over me.
