“Yeah…” I felt my face turning red as I realized what he was suggesting.
“The bathroom is right there.” Everette pointed to it.
I stared at him for a couple of seconds and saw a hint of his stupidly-sexy smile form on the edge of his lips. He was serious—and I didn’t feel like I had much choice. I couldn’t really argue with his logic. I spied on him—I saw everything—and turnabout was a fair punishment. I walked to the bathroom, closed the door, and stared at myself in the mirror. I had never been completely naked in front of a man before. Amelia and I spent a lot of time in the tree house with the Henderson brothers, and we played you-show-me-yours-I’ll-show-you-mine a few times, but that wasn’t the same as walking out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel with every intention of having it hit the floor.
This is going to be a really long shower…
Delaying the inevitable was the only thing I really had left, and I clung to it while my head processed what was going to happen when I left the bathroom. I was going to be naked in front of a man that made my whole body tingle. What if he kissed me—or tried to touch me? I wasn’t sure I would be able to resist him. Just thinking about being naked in front of Everette was making my pussy wet, despite the nervousness that wouldn’t let go. I stayed under the water for an extra five minutes after I was basically done with my shower, just trying to work up the courage to accept my punishment. I felt like I had delayed it as long as possible, and the only thing I could do was go through with it. I turned off the shower and pulled the curtain back.
I guess it’s time to give Everette a show—just like he unknowingly gave me the night I spied on him.
Chapter Six
Holly
I used one towel to dry off, and then I wrapped a fresh one around my body. My legs felt like jelly when I started walking towards the door, but I didn’t stop. I pulled the door open, stepped out of the bathroom and saw Everette sitting on the side of the bed where he was when I left him. He leaned back and propped himself up on the palm of his hands while he watched me approach. I didn’t really know how to be sexy—and I didn’t want to make a fool of myself. I just tried to walk normally, which was probably for the best, since I was so nervous. If I tried something fancy like a runway pose, there was a good chance my knees would just buckle.
“Interesting…” Everette narrowed his eyes. “I don’t seem to remember wearing a towel that high.”
“No…” I looked down for a moment.
“Then I believe it needs to be lowered.” A devious grin formed on the edge of his lips—one that was even hotter than his stupidly-sexy smile.
He was right. I didn’t have an argument. I unfolded the towel, kept it in front of me, and then lowered it to my waist before I secured it again. My breasts were on full display. I had my eyes focused on the floor, because it was the only way I could keep my head from spinning, but I heard an audible gasp from Everette when he saw them. That made me feel a little better about the situation—I slowly lifted my head, and the look on his face was enough to inspire more confidence. He seemed to be mesmerized by the sight of my body—with eyes that reflected a hunger I recognized—the same one I had when I was alone in my bed, thinking of him.
“You—walked around for a little bit…” I took a deep breath. “I think you were looking for clothes.”
“Yes.” Everette nodded. “Most of my things were still boxed up.”
I didn’t have any boxes to dig through, but I did have a suitcase. I picked out what I would normally wear to bed and laid it out beside him. His eyes followed me and never looked away. It was strange to have that kind of direct attention from someone. I had received a few compliments in my life and drawn a few stares from time-to-time but being the center of attention was something that I wasn’t used to. I realized I had delayed the final stage of my punishment long enough—the only thing left to do was to unfasten the towel and let it hit the floor.
Here goes nothing…
“Then you dropped your towel…” I sucked oxygen into my lungs and tried not to blush as the towel fell.
“Was that the best part for you?” Everette’s eyes took in my curves like someone who had stumbled into an oasis in the middle of a desert.
“I—liked what I saw.” A lump rose up in my throat, and I tried to swallow it.
“Turn around.” He motioned to me. “I didn’t just stand in one spot once my towel hit the floor.”
“No…” I felt more confidence building, and I actually managed to make the turn somewhat pose-worthy.
“Beautiful.” Everette exhaled sharply. “Damn…”
“Then you got dressed.” I looked towards the clothes I picked out.
“You can get dressed later.” Everette reached over and took my hand. “We have to discuss the rest of your punishment first.”
“The rest?” I raised an eyebrow. “You said it should match the crime—and it did. After we spied on you, we went back to my house. That was the end of it.”
“Was it?” Everette narrowed his eyes at me. “You didn’t do anything else that Daddy wouldn’t approve of?”
“I mean…” I looked down at the floor. “None that involved you.”
“I didn’t ask if they involved me—I asked if I would approve of it.” There was a light growl underneath his words.
“Probably not,” I sighed. “I’ve already told you everything…”
