He was naked.

Dear God, he is naked. Oh my gosh, he is naked.

I’d heard his yelling, like the nightmare at the hotel, and when I found him, he was in a daze. Going through some type of nightmarish trance of his past. Whatever happened to him in the past had truly messed him up.

There were obvious signs of PTSD. Most of my counseling was aimed toward kids, but you’d be surprised at the amount of children that suffered from similar stories.

Then he’d woken in my arms and kissed me, shockingly. Very shockingly.

It was better than the first if that was even possible.

He was needy, greedy, and I was his willing assailant.

The rough pads of his fingertips felt like rough sin against my skin. Not to mention that I was kneeling in front of him with water pouring down on us like a scene from a movie.

And he was still naked.

The deep groans that left him made me hot all over. It didn’t matter that I was soaking wet from the shower. It was an inferno flickering inside of me.

Kellan angled my mouth higher, his tongue delving deeper into my mouth and pulling out soft gasps that he seemed to enjoy.

Wrapping his arm around me, he stood us both up, guiding my thighs around his waist and trapping me against the wall.

When he tore away from my hungry kiss, he lowered his head and bit the sensitive flesh of my neck. The world melted away, and stars lined my eyes.

“Is everything okay?” Fern’s soft voice came from the back door.

Yes. Yes. Yes! Everything is fine. Please find anywhere else to be.

Kellan tore his mouth from my neck, his heavy-lidded gaze settled on mine. There was so much lust staring back at me.

“Everything is fine, Fern.”

I could tell she hesitated. Maybe she knew I was inside and waited on my confirmation as well? It didn’t matter because I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t open my mouth without something embarrassing sliding off my tongue.

The back door finally shut, and I let out a sigh that turned into a giggle.

Kellan’s gaze was still hard on my face making me squirm on his naked lap.

“Stop moving,” he instructed.

I did because it didn’t look up for debate.

Kellan groaned under his breath and slowly slid me to my feet. My legs were rubbery, but the shower wall kept me upright.

Kellan’s gaze traveled down my wet t-shirt shamelessly. I didn't have to look down to know he stared at my peaked nipples. The whiplash I was getting from this man was killer. Did he realize how hard he seemed? Or the fact that despite his resistance, I couldn’t shake this pull?

It was awfully pathetic, but apparently, he enjoyed it as well.

He ran his fingers into his wet hair and pushed it away from his forehead, giving me the pleasure of seeing his dark-set eyes.

“We need to talk,” he said.

I found my footing and crossed my arms over my chest. “I would say so,” I agreed. “I’m freezing. Maybe after we dry off.”

I stepped around him toward the swinging door, but he caught me. My body turned involuntarily. “I like the way you kiss.”
