Holy lord, they’re really steep.
I bet that’s why his ass is so tight.
“Actually, I work out. But thank you for noticing, gorgeous.”
“What?” Can he read my mind or something?
Reaching the top of the stairs, he wraps his arm around me and pulls me back against him, whispering in my ear, “You said my ass must be so tight from taking the stairs. But I work out, too. I need to look good so you’ll notice.” His warm breath hits my ear, and I feel every hair on me stand at attention.
“Oh,” I breathe out, my mind going blank. I can’t believe I said that out loud.
He works out for me?
No, he meant for women?
Of course, it’s always for women. Never just one.
Unlocking the door, he goes in first to turn the lights on, and when I step inside, I blink a few times to let my eyes adjust. Huh, I’m surprised. Pleasantly surprised. It’s small, but clean and cozy.
Good to know he’s not a slob. Because I sure as hell am not sleeping in some bachelor pad playboy filth caldron.
Walking towards the couch, I take my jacket off and then sit down and take my boots off. But when I go to lay out, Alex stops me with his hand. Where did he come from?
“No, gorgeous. The bed.”
“What? I said I’m not sleeping with you.”
Smiling, he says, “I know, I heard you the first time. I meant go sleep in my bed. I’ll take the couch.”
“I’m not sleeping in a bed that probably has a bunch of girls still in it.”
His face shuts down, and his eyes go distant. “The sheets are clean.”
I study his blurry face for a second and then sigh. “Fine.”
Shuffling over to his bed, I strip off my lace kimono so I’m just in my jeans and tank top, and slide under the comforter.
Oh, this is soft. And his sheets and pillows smell like him. Inhaling deep, I curl into a ball on my side and my eyes flutter closed immediately.

Blinking awake, the room is hazy, and lit only by the small light of predawn coming through the windows. I quickly close my eyes again and further curl into the warm body next to me, my hand splayed across a hard chest, a light sigh escaping my lips.
Wait.
My eyes pop open again and I’m met with a chiseled square jaw covered in black stubble.
Alex.
His long black eyelashes curl up and cast a light shadow beneath his eyes, his lips are slightly parted as he breathes, and his messy hair is begging for me to touch it.
He looks so damn handsome like this. Almost peaceful. At ease.
His chest rises and falls beneath my hand, and I carefully lift it up and off of him, keeping it at my side, despite the itch to put it back and run it down his entire torso.
Why is he in bed with me? And why isn’t he wearing a shirt?
Oh my god, he better have bottoms on.
