When he'd told her the other night that he only wanted her, it had been both a dream and a nightmare. She'd wanted him for years, but seeing him go off with other women night after night had hurt her more than she'd realized.
Instead of getting melancholy about how much fun he'd had in his shower, she asked, "Three? Were they women? Or was there a guy involved?"
"Just women."
"Really? That's a shame." She made a face. "I thought maybe you and Shaw might have had a girl in here, and then..."
Eli's mouth dropped open. "You thought Shaw and I had a threesome with someone? No. He's my best friend, Wilkes. And my teammate."
"So? It's kinda hot. You guys are always together, so I just figured it was a possibility."
"Neither of us are into dudes. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but we aren't bisexual." He groaned. "At least I'm not. I don't think Shaw is, though. Oh, fuck. I'm way too drunk for this conversation."
She hid a smile. "And I'm too sober."
Holly helped him over to a black chair in the corner of the bathroom next to the linen closet. "Sit. And don't move."
"Whatever you say, beautiful."
She rolled her eyes. "Don't start. We have boundaries in place."
Holly turned on the tap of the soaker tub and put in a tiny amount of bubble bath from a nearby bottle. Running her hand beneath the faucet to test the water, she adjusted the temperature with the knobs.
"Do you like a hot bath?"
"I like everything hot," he replied.
He had both hands laced behind his head and was grinning from ear to ear. Damn, he was totally sauced.
"All right, stand up," she ordered.
He struggled to get to his feet, swaying again, and she grabbed his arm.
"Steady, now. Eli, how much did you have to drink?" Despite the grin on his face, he didn't look well at all.
"Enough."
"Care to tell me why?"
His eyes darkened, and he looked away. "No."
"But I thought you were supposed to be chatty at night?"
"Yeah, well, not tonight."
Holly sighed. "Fine. If you aren't going to tell me why, then strip."
"Now you're talking. Are you gonna soak in the tub with me?" He cocked an eyebrow and leaned against the wall as he tugged his t-shirt over his head.
"Don't you wish."
“Fuck yeah, I do. Having sex with you in that hotel shower was one of the highlights of my life, kitten. No joke."
Heat crept into her cheeks at the memory. It was one of the highlights of hers, too.
Hunching over, Eli attempted to unbutton his shorts but fumbled as he pulled at the fabric.
"Good grief. Hold still while I help you."
