I fish for it in the back pocket of my leather pants.
“I have to take this. It’s Mom.”.
“No problem,” she says. “Tell her I say hi.”
“I will.”
“I’m going upstairs to take a quick shower, and then I’m going to soak in your luxurious bath.” There’s amusement in her voice. “I love being your roommate. I kind of like us getting to know each other better.”
And… she’s off.
Little devil.
She saunters out of the transition area, humming a song, and wiggling her butt. I stand there ogling like a fool.
Chapter 14
Keira
That was a hotter-than-hell standoff.
The energy between us was sizzling.
It may have been my delusional and desperate mind in the past conjuring stories, but what just played out between us wasn’t in my head.
It was real.
His bulge was real.
It was impossible to ignore.
My heart is pulsating as hard as the throbbing between my legs. Heat pools between my thighs, leaving me tangled up in a knot of desire. I’m so wet, it’s practically dripping down my thighs.
I push off the bathroom door, peel off the t-shirt and remove my underwear, chuckling at Rhys’s freaked out expression.
Poor guy. I thought he was going to have an aneurysm.
I step into the shower and adjust the temperature of the water until the bathroom fogs up with steam. I duck under the rainfall showerhead and gasp.
It’s scolding.
I play around with the temperature so I don’t end up looking like a lobster. I shampoo, rinse, and condition in a snap. I then grab the mesh shower pouf we bought yesterday, pour a copious amount of peony scented body wash and scrub off the grime from the storm. Closing my eyes, I inhale the beautiful floral scent.
This is living.
The water streams down my body like a gentle caress.
My skin tingles.
Scratch that.
Every inch of me tingles.
Even though the water is warm, my nipples pucker to the point of pain. I press my legs together in the hopes of containing my mounting arousal, but it’s in vain. I slide a hand down my body, caressing over my belly as I travel lower.
I pause, catching myself.
I can’t do this under his roof.
