“Right back at’cha.” What the fuck was that, Charlee?

He chuckles. “Thank ya.”

“I need to run to the bathroom. I don’t want to do the walk of shame looking like this.”

“Beautiful?” His brows pull low.

“Umm, alright. Would it be okay if I showered?”

He grins. “Of course and if you need a shirt or pants, just ask.”

“If I can wear your pants, I’ll leave now.”

He smashes his mouth into a thin line. “I meant sweats or something like that.”

“Oh, yeah.” I giggle, throwing my thumb up in the air. “I’ll just… be a second.”

I hurry from the bed in all my nakedness, shutting the door behind me. I stop by the mirror to check myself. “Holy shit!” I look like hell but can’t help to laugh. “It was a good night.”

Turning to the shower, I twist the knob and jump in as soon as it runs hot. I begin to wash off the remnants of last night when I feel a breeze. I turn to find Alden standing behind me.

“I hope you don’t mind; it’ll save time.” He takes the soap from my hand.

“I suppose we could conserve water.”

He nods, putting his hand between my legs. “Let me help you.”

“Why do I feel like this is a bad idea?” I bite my lip as he washes me, sliding his hands everywhere.

His eyes focus on my hardening nipples. “I think I might like this.”

“I know I do.” A delicious pull stirs deep in my core.

I jump when there’s a thud at the door. “Alden, get your ass moving.”

I cover my mouth as I mumble, “Shit! Is that…?”

“Reese, my best friend.” He rolls his eyes. “I’m coming.”

“No, you’re not.” I shrug peering down at his hard-on. “And neither am I.”

Another thump on the door, and we both scurry. I wash off, trading places with Alden as quickly as possible. I step out, wrapping a towel around me. I turn with one for Alden as he opens the door.

I’m dumbstruck as I watch the water run over his hard stomach. He takes the towel and his muscles flex with every turn; he’s hard and cut damn well. I turn away to keep from jumping him. I don’t think I could ever get enough.

I try to collect my thoughts and my hormones but when I look in the mirror, he's standing in all of his naked glory, grinning at me.

“Alden, don’t make me come in there.” Reese beats on the door again.

He winks at me, causing me to blush. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

We work together getting our hair brushed but when he hands me his toothbrush, I hesitate. He quirks his brow, and I take it from him without a word. I brush quickly, rinse it and hand it back over.

“I was gonna say, I think we’ve exchanged enough bodily fluid, so sharing this shouldn’t be a problem.” He winks at me, and I roll my eyes.

“Alden, if you’re late, I’m gonna kill you,” Reese yells from the door.

“For the love of all that’s holy, don’t you have a family?” he shouts as he opens the door.
