I wandered into Sam’s walk-in closet overflowing with black fabric. His secretive, bonfire scent wafted through here and entwined itself with the smell of detergent.
“So… what do you think?” Sam said from the doorway.
I saw that he’d put on a pair of dark boxer briefs. He shrugged on a white button-down, but left it open and leaned against the doorframe. His dark, curly hair—tousled from our fun earlier—hung artfully over his forehead. “You’re judging me. Surely.”
I blushed and giggled, but tried to play it cool. “I’m gonna take a wild guess and say your favorite color is black.”
A crooked grin slid across his face. “Nah. I just work in music. Ihaveto wear black.”
“I wasn’t aware of that rule.” I began shifting through his t-shirts, looking for that specific one… “If it’s not black, what’s your favorite color? Let me guess: blue.”
“No…” he said softly.
The floor creaked behind me.
I turned and he wasright there,smiling down at me just like that night we met at the Figure Eight.
My knees weakened under his gaze. I scrambled for something to say, then remembered. “Your… your favorite color…”
He looked deeply into my eyes again. “This one.”
My heart skipped a beat.
Sam cupped my face and kissed me deeply, his lips trembling slightly.
I kissed him back, lost in the passion.
My fingers slithered through his soft hair.
My boobs pressed against his chest.
He grabbed my low back and pulled me close.
Then he pulled his mouth off mine, panting. “I can’t get enough of you.”
A strange discomfort clouded through me.
Sam furrowed his brow. “Did I… did I say something wrong?”
“No. It’s just… you don’t know anything about me.” My voice sounded muffled and hushed in this closet; insulated and secret and lost in the black fabrics. “If you knew… who I really was… I don’t think you’d like me anymore.”
His expression darkened. “What do you mean?”
My head spun. I sank to my knees in the nest of soft, dark shirts scattered all over the floor.
“Grace—!”
“No, I’m fine,” I said. “Just a little dehydrated.”
“Where’s your water?”
I shrugged.
“I’ll get you another one. Hang on.”
He disappeared.
