“Have you looked in a mirror?”
I rolled my eyes. “I’m flattered.”
“No, you’re not. But that wasn’t all.” He paused. “It was your laugh that set you apart.”
“You heard my laugh?”
“Yeah. The way your face lights up, the way you throw your head back. You laugh with your whole body.” He shrugged like it was nothing.
But it was everything.
Because it meant he saw me.
Not the me I showed the world. But the me I had tried so desperately to hide from the world.
“I’m frigid.”
“Who the fuck told you that?” he demanded.
“No one.”
“Bullshit,” he said. “No woman thinks she’s frigid unless some asshole puts that idea in her head. So, who’s the asshole who said it?”
“My ex. Tyler. He’s the only man I’ve ever…”
“Been with?”
I nodded.
“All right.”
“All right?” I frowned.
“You’re not frigid. You know how I know?”
“How?”
“Because I’ve kissed you. Because I’ve woken up with you.” He lifted his hand to my face and held my chin between his fingers. “You need to hear me when I tell you, you’re not frigid. And when you’re ready, I’ll prove it to you.”
“You’ve been a saint.”
“No one has ever accused me of that before.”
“It wasn’t an accusation.” I laughed. “Do you have anywhere you have to be tomorrow?”
“Not until the afternoon. Why?”
“You want to see how I spend my time?” I asked.
“Yeah. I would.”
“It means waking up to an alarm.”
“I can handle that.”
A yawn escaped my mouth and I hastily covered it. “By the way, I bought you a coffee maker and some coffee. I don’t know if it’s any good.”
His eyes softened when they met mine. “It’s perfect.”
