“I was saying, I hope you don’t mind borrowing some of my clothes tonight, until we can get something in your size.”
“Yeah, that’s fine.” I looked away quickly, refusing to meet his eyes. It was bad enough he saw me naked. Now he caught me staring at his massive biceps.
The ride back to his house was uncomfortable at best. I kept shifting in my shower curtain, hoping I wasn’t showing more than I thought. And I could have sworn I saw Dash’s lips twitching every now and again. He was enjoying this.
I perked up when we hit the edge of town and pulled down the long driveway by the mechanic’s shop. “You live out here?”
“Yeah, behind the building in the new subdivision.”
“Huh, I didn’t realize you could buy these.”
“You can’t,” Dash answered, twisting in his seat. “These are reserved for people working for the company.”
“The construction company,” I clarified. At his nod, I grinned. “So, you work construction.”
“Something like that.”
What the hell did that mean? When the truck stopped in front of a new house, Dash came around to my side, opening the door for me. Getting out was a little difficult since I was trying to hold my curtain together.
“Shower?”
“What?” I asked, my heart hammering out of my chest as I peered up at him.
“I said, do you want a shower?”
Oh. Shower. As in, singular. Do I want a shower? Not a shower with him, of course. He was just being polite and offering me a shower. Not that I would want a shower with him anyway. That would be…
So fucking fantastic.
And wrong. He was humored by my blatant attraction to him, but that didn’t mean he wanted to sleep with me. Or shower with me.
“Right. Yeah,” I laughed. “That totally makes more sense than what was going on in my head.”
“And what was going on in your head?”
I swallowed hard as he stepped closer, pressing me up against the truck. Okay, I was not imagining that. He was totally making a move on me. Right?
“Just…that…” I couldn’t think with him this close. His bright blue eyes made me want things…things that were so indecent and?—
“Do you have a couch in your doorway?”
I jerked my head to the side at the sound of Lee’s voice. She was standing in front of the doorway, blocking my line of vision. The heat from Dash’s body suddenly disappeared, leaving me with shivers breaking out all over my body. Not because I was cold, but because…well, he was so fucking hot and I was about two seconds from jumping his bones.
But he was already heading for the door. I grabbed my curtain tail and trailed after him, stopping beside Lee. “Is that a couch?” I asked, looking at the furniture sticking half out of the house.
“It’s a long story,” Brock said. “We were…moving it in when the sirens went off.”
“Yeah, and everyone knows you drop everything when the sirens go off,” Dash finished with a nod.
“Yeah, I know,” I snorted. “So…are you going to bring it inside?”
They looked at each other and shook their heads. “Nah, it can stay for now.”
I watched them watching each other, wondering what that was about, but before I could really get a handle on it, Brock was crawling into the house over the couch. Lee followed, stomping on the couch with little care.
“After you,” Dash grinned.
Yeah, there was no way I was going before him, giving him the prime opportunity to see all of me naked again. “You go first.”
