It's not really safe, his arms, but it feels like it. It's comfortable.
A few more minutes and I'll figure this out. A few more minutes and I'll get into my pajamas. Just a few minutes…
Chapter Nine
The shower in the bathroom turns on. Light streams through the curtains. It's bright. I can barely keep my eyes open.
I drag myself out of bed. The room is messy—comforter and clothing in a heap on the floor. Miles was here last night. Miles is still here. He's in my shower.
We had sex—my first time—and it was amazing.
I pick his t-shirt up off the floor and pull it over my head. There's something enticing about it. It's soft, and it smells like him.
I knock on the bathroom door.
He shouts something, but it's muffled by the water.
"Can I come in?"
The water turns off. "Door's open."
I turn the handle. So it is. I step inside the bathroom.
And there's Miles, behind the glass door of my shower, naked.
He pulls the door open. "Good morning."
I nod, mumbling something that isn’t technically a word.
Damn, what a view. Light is streaming through the room, surrounding him with a soft glow. He looked amazing last night, but I couldn't see him with this kind of detail.
He's chiseled, like he's made out of stone. Water drips off his broad shoulders and chest, rolling down his six-pack, all the way to that perfect V.
Miles clears his throat. "You don't have to make it so obvious that you want me."
"It's not obvious."
He smirks and turns the water back on. I do my best not to stare at him while I brush my teeth. His reflection—right in the middle of the mirror—makes it difficult.
Miles is, without a doubt, the most beautiful man I've ever seen. And he's naked in my bathroom.
He catches me staring at him, and he smiles that same smug smile. His gaze passes over me, resting on my ass.
He pulls the shower door open a few inches. "I know you want me, Meg, but you don't have to come in here half-naked."
"I want nothing but caffeine."
"I don't believe you."
I rinse off my toothbrush and replace it. "What do you believe?"
"You fell asleep last night."
My cheeks flush. "You wore me out."
He motions come here. His eyes light up. "I still owe you one."
"What?"
