At the word defecation, my cock deflates. I’m torn between relief and annoyance. I tuck it away and wash my hands before strolling back into the bedroom area.

“You were very quick.”

I pretend to not know what she’s talking about. “I forgot my clothes to change into,” I lie before picking up my overnight bag and carrying it to the bathroom.

“I’m sorry if I embarrassed you. I can sit in the bar for fifteen minutes if you need quiet to handle your …erm…needs.”

Instead of explaining to her how she can help with any needs I have, I tell her, “I’ll be out in a second. Our food should be here soon.”

I quickly change into a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. When I exit the bathroom, there’s a knock on the door to indicate the arrival of our food. I hurry to accept the food before Lilac can come to the door. I don’t want anyone besides me to see her in her satin tank top.

Once I’ve arranged our food on the table, we sit down across from each other to eat. I tuck into my food but stop when I notice Lilac rubbing her arms.

“Are you cold?”

I don’t wait for an answer and dig a sweatshirt out of my suitcase before handing it to her. “I’ll turn down the air-conditioning, but in the meantime, wear this.”

She sniffs the shirt before putting it on. Although she’s mere inches shorter than me, she drowns in it. Male satisfaction blossoms in my chest at the sight of her wearing my clothes. If Lilac knew what I was thinking, she’d give me a lecture on men and their caveman tendencies. Since I’ve heard the lecture before, I settle back at the table and concentrate on my burger.

“Oh my,” she says as she fans her face, “this vegetarian burger is a bit spicy.”

“Is it too spicy? Do you want me to order you something else?”

“No, thank you. It’s delicious. A bit spicier than I’m used to is all.”

As I eat my burger, Lilac’s face becomes redder and redder. A blush now runs from her cheeks down her neck. I can’t help but wonder how much further it travels down her body.

She finishes her burger and downs her beer. She coughs as she sets the glass down. “Wow. It’s warm in here now.”

“Do you want me to switch the air-conditioning back on?”

“It’s fine. I’ll remove your sweatshirt.”

She grasps the hem and whips the sweatshirt off of her. Except the sweatshirt isn’t the only garment she removed. She also removed her tank top, leaving her completely topless in front of me, and answering my question as to how far her blush spreads.

I rush to grab the sweatshirt to cover her again, but I can’t take my eyes off of her perfect body. Her blushing breasts are the perfect size for my hands. And, as I watch, her nipples pebble under my scrutiny. Shit. I shouldn’t be gawking at her. I slam my eyes shut and drop to my knees on the floor to pat the area for my sweatshirt.

I find the garment and hold it out to her with my eyes still closed. I miss her hand and end up slapping the sweatshirt against her breast.

I drop my hand. “Shit. Sorry.”

“I’m confused.”

“About what?”

“Don’t you want me?”

“Of course, I want you.” I want to place her hand against my hard length to prove the truth of my words to her, but I know better. Instead, I squeeze it. “You can see how much I want you.”

“I want you, too.”

My eyes fly open, and I gaze up at her. “Are you sure?”

She scowls. “I hate when men question whether a woman knows what she wants. I know my own mind.”

“I’m not questioning whether you know what you want. I’m questioning the change in direction. An hour ago, you told me I had to sleep on the floor.”

She sighs. “I’m done fighting the chemistry between us. Maybe if we have sexual relations, it will burn through our chemistry.”
