“Well, I switched to a podcast when I was done working out, but the water was so faint I just assumed it was in your en-suite.”
“What about the closed door?”
“The door was open.” I stilled, then turned my head slightly. “Oh, you don’t use the tub, so you probably don’t know about the latch.”
He met my gaze while drying one of the bowls. “What about it?”
“It’s a bit finickity. You can’t just push the door shut; you have to give it a proper good shove. If you don’t, it pops right back open.”
“This seems like a series of extraordinary coincidences.”
“Call it what you want, but it’s all true. Go and test the door right now if you don’t believe me.” I shrugged. “And my earbuds are noise cancelling, so it’s not that weird that I couldn’t hear anything.”
“All right, fine. How you ended up there was unfortunate.” He leant sideways towards me. “But that doesn’t explain why you stood there watching me.”
I froze.
Shit.
He saw me.
“I have no idea what you mean,” I eked out, forcing myself to scrub the bowl.
“You can lie all you want, but I saw you in the mirror. You watched me, and you only left because I turned towards you.”
Shitshitshitshit.
My whole body burnt with embarrassment.
“I… I…”
“You locked yourself in your room pretty quickly after that, didn’t you?” He put down the bowl, dropping all pretence of drying it, and wrapped one arm around me. He gripped the edge of the counter, trapping me in place in front of the sink. “Do you know why I texted you I was done instead of knocking on your door?”
My heart pounded against my ribs.
“Because,” he whispered, lowering his mouth to my ear. “I didn’t want to disturb you.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE – CHLOE
The Point of No Return
Oh, no.
No. No. No. No. No.
He couldn’t have heard me, could he? There was no way. I covered my mouth. I’d practically suffocated myself through my orgasm.
It was impossible.
Right?
“D—disturb me?” I asked, bringing my hands out of the water. “What do you mean?”
“Mm. Tell me, Chloe. Did you enjoy the sight of me touching myself so much that you had to lock yourself in your room and do the same thing?”
Fuck.
“What were you imagining when I went back to the shower? Were you thinking that I was finishing myself off?” His deep voice sent a shiver through my body. “Did you touch yourself thinking about me?”
