I didn’t get a chance to think about it much longer. There was a knock on the door, and she stirred.
“Who is it?” I called.
“Juno.” The feminine voice was polite but barely audible. “I wondered if you’d seen Kit. She’s not in her room, and I’ve not seen her since last night.”
Kit woke up enough to look at me, her eyes going wide.
“Do you want her to know?” I whispered, not sure how she felt about us hooking up.
“I’m in here, and I’m safe,” Kit called back before smiling shyly up at me. I chuckled, wondering what Juno would think.
“Cool beans,” Juno replied. “Come on down for breakfast whenever you’re both ready.”
I thought I heard a hint of amusement in her voice, but nothing more followed, and Kit shifted beside me to get a better look at me. Again, she gave me a shy smile, her cheeks a pink color that added to her perfection.
“Sorry. I hope that was okay,” she said, her gaze turning up to see if I was upset with her.
“Perfectly. I’m pretty sure everyone saw us dancing last night, and we weren’t exactly discreet about heading to bed together. This lot will talk.”
She frowned, almost as if she didn’t like that idea.
“I’m sure Juno won’t,” I added, not sure if it would do much good and feeling more concerned that this bothered her, even if only a little.
“Juno is a darling. She wouldn’t gossip about anyone. I...” Kit trailed off, flustered again. She lifted a hand to tuck errant strands of hair behind her ear, but there weren’t any, and it only made me more worried for her. I didn’t want her to be nervous.
“What is it?” I asked. “You can tell me. I won’t bite, I promise. At least, not unless you want me to.” I grinned mischievously, and she gave me a wry smile. It calmed her down, which was what I had been aiming for.
“I don’t normally do this sort of thing,” she eventually said. “Normally, I take a lot longer to get to know someone. I’d like this to not just be...”
“Sex?”
She nodded, searching my face once more.
“I don’t want this to just be sex either.”
As soon as I’d spoken, she relaxed against me. I kissed her, considering another round, but she fidgeted and pulled away soon after.
“We should probably get up and go join the others. They know we’re awake.” She looked toward the door again, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to push it. The thought alone had aroused me, and so did the sight of her body as she slipped out of the bed. Everything about her curved in all the right ways. The right proportions.
Sighing, I closed my eyes for a moment and tried to think of something less enticing than pulling her back into bed and screwing her hard. I had to behave. The lady had said no, and that meant no.
CHAPTER NINETEEN
Kit
I tried to contain all the various emotions I felt as I walked out of Lukas’ bedroom and into the hallway. Thankfully, no one was around, and if Juno had waited at all to see if I’d emerge, she hadn’t waited long.
Although I had done my best to straighten my hair and get my dress back on, I still needed to get back to my room to get fresh clothes.
Now I understood why it was called the walk of shame when someone had to return to their house or room while wearing the night before’s clothes. I was so obviously in my bridesmaid dress that one glance and anyone would know I hadn’t been to my own room yet.
On the other hand, Lukas was amazing, and I wasn’t sure I would have minded anyone knowing that the two of us were involved. He was also fully dressed in new clothes, however.
Trying not to worry, I walked across the hallway and opened the door to my room. I ducked into the room and mostly out of sight before looking back at Lukas.
“I’ll meet you downstairs when you’re ready.” He smiled and looked me over one last time before he walked off. I shut thedoor behind me and drew a deep breath to calm my pounding heart. I could feel it hammering in my chest, and for a moment, I placed my hand over it as if the action would help to steady it.
It didn’t, but I felt better nonetheless. Moving over to my bed, I sat on it and thought through my clothing options. I found myself wanting to choose whatever would be most flattering to my figure, but I had no idea what that might be.
