I bite my lower lip as I openly gawk at him. There’s a primal quality to his beauty that drew my attention since the first time I met him.

His muscles flex with every move. The arrow tattoos slither with the rippling of his biceps. His cock is semi-hard, pointing in my direction. I wonder if it’s always in that state because I’ve never seen it flaccid.

“You’re finally awake, sleepyhead,” he says without lifting his head.

I let my hand roam in the water. I can’t believe Aiden is making me a bubble bath.

“How long have I been out?” I ask.

“About two hours.”

“And what did you do during that entire time?”

“Watched you.”

Watched you.

Damn him and how easily he can say things like that. If it were me, I would’ve never admitted it.

When I remain silent, he slides his metallic eyes up my body, and even though it’s covered with bubbles, it’s like he can see through them.

“I was also going through your Instagram.”

I gulp. “You go through my Instagram?”

He tilts his head to the side. “Why do you think I followed you?”

I always thought it was some bullying method, not that he was actually taking the following factor seriously.

“By the way, you still didn’t follow me back,” he says as if it’s something I forgot about.

“So why do you go through my Instagram?” I deflect.

He shrugs. “To see what you’re up to.”

“As in you’re stalking me?”

He grins. “I prefer inquiring.”

I splash water in his direction. “You’re incurable.”

“I’m curious…” he trails off. “Why do you never post your face?”

“What?”

“You have pictures of food, picturesque settings, your aunt and uncle, Reed and her brother, but there’s never a full shot of you. The only pictures of you are taken from behind or the side. There isn’t one picture where you look at the camera. It’s almost as if you’re scared of it.”

I lift my shoulder. “Not all of us love the attention.”

“Hmm. Why do I feel that’s not your case?”

When I don’t reply, he turns around to retrieve the shampoo bottle.

I gasp, the sound interrupting the cascading water.

Slash marks.

Aiden has two slashes down his back. They’re faded into his tan skin, and that’s probably why I haven’t noticed them before.
