There’s only one way in and out of this bathroom. Through his bedroom. Which means there’s no way Aurora won’t figure out I’m in here.

“I’m in here!” I call to her because we can’t lie.

His eyes snap to mine, and his brow goes sky-high.

“Your dad was a little dizzy when he got home, and I just wanted to be close in case something happened. I’ll be out in just a minute.”

He gives me an amused grin that turns into a laugh, and he buries his face in his outstretched arm to muffle it.

“Okay…” she answers, but I can tell from her tone she’s not entirely buying it. But there are no more questions through the door, so I assume that the matter is settled, at least for now.

“I guess we’ll have to finish this later…” I press my lips together trying not to smile too hard, and that seems to amuse him even more. He leans down and gives me a soft kiss.

“I don’t mind waiting. Especially with me being dizzy and all.” A laugh tumbles out of him.

“I had to think fast! She would know I was in here. There’s only one way out.”

“You could have climbed out the window and come back in the front.”

“Naked?” I raise a brow, and then I realize something even worse. “Oh shit.”

“What?”

“My clothes are in the guest room. I took them when I left, but I was so flustered when I came back, I just had the towel. Oh god. I’m going to have to walk out there naked.”

“You’re not going to have to walk out there naked. You can put some of my clothes on.”

“Oh because that won’t look suspicious at all.”

“I’m pretty sure she’s already suspicious.” He gives me a pointed look.

“Well… I better hurry.” I start to move for the shower door, but his hand slips under my jaw, and he kisses me one last time.

“Talk tonight, okay?”

“Okay.” I smile at him, and he grins in return before I hurry to his closet.

I grab one of his Seattle Phantom shirts and a pair of shorts, slipping them on and pulling the drawstring tight before I hurry to the door. I’m hoping she’s in her room, and I can get to the guest room and at least put proper underwear and pants on before I go talk to her. Give me a few minutes to recover from that orgasm and the fact that it was one of the best I’ve ever had in my life. The fact that it was Gabe who gave it to me still has my head spinning.

Imanage to dash down the hall to the guest room unobserved and hurriedly put on a bra and grab a pair of jeans out of my suitcase. It’s the only clean pair I have left because I brought almost exclusively dresses with me since I was supposed to be getting married and then honeymooning in a tropical setting. If I’m going to stay here much longer, I’ll need to pick something up.

Am I going to stay here longer?

I don’t have time to think about it because there’s a soft knock at the door.

“Come in!” I call to Gin, and she steps inside, eyeing me, and then her eyes land on the shorts on the bed and float back to the shirt I have on.

“Why do you have Dad’s clothes?”

“Oh. Um. Before he came home, I took a bath in that giant bathtub of his. Saw it and couldn’t resist. I don’t have one like that back at the apartment so had to take advantage while I could.”

“And you didn’t take your clothes with you?” Skepticism colors her face.

“No. I wasn’t thinking. You and your dad weren’t home, so I was just gonna wander back in a towel. But then he came back home early and then you, so I figured I better have actual clothes on.”

“Right.” She eyes me skeptically and I try to will the blush that’s rising to my cheeks away. “And that’s why your hair is wet?

“Yep.” I practically croak the word.
