My hand slides to her small waist. “I’m not going anywhere. Turn around.”
She does as I ask and gives me her back. I adjust my erection before moving close enough in a spoon position draping the covers over our bodies. Her body is so small compared to my large frame. She feels small and delicate. I bury my nose in the smell of her hair and fall asleep to the scent of her.
Chapter thirteen
Aura
The sun is streaming like a white light against my closed eyelids filtering into the room. The feeling of warmth and a faint smell of cologne fills my senses. It feels like I’m floating in a dream. My head snuggles against something hard and warm but not soft like the pillow I’m used to. My eyes flutter open and I squint until my vision adjusts to the sunlight streaming from the bedroom window.
My head tilts up and my gaze meets Kalum’s grin and morning hair.
“Good morning, gorgeous,” he says, looking like a male model with his left arm behind his head.
I bite my lip nervously, looking down at my body sprawled over Kalum’s shirtless chest. His bicep bulging flexed at the elbow. The intricate design of his tattoo swirling over taut golden skin.
My stomach clenches and a flurry of butterflies swarms my stomach. His muscled thigh is between my legs. I push myself up and almost decide against it because I can feel his erection by my hip.
“If you keep moving like that, we are not going to make it out of this bed, princess.”
He keeps calling me beautiful endearments that any girl would love to hear from a guy like Kalum. He’s gorgeous any time of the day, and last night, he was incredibly sweet.
“I’m sorry but I have never slept in a bed with a guy before. I am not used to… you know.”
His grin widens and he raises his brow. “I’m glad I’m your first,” he says in a husky tone.
My cheeks flame and my heart beats wildly. Heat ignites throughout my body, aware that his erection is hard like steel under me. My nipples strain and a need pools between my thighs wanting nothing more than to feel him against me the way I yearn but this is Kalum.
Mean Kalum I can deal with, nice Kalum is dangerous. He can melt my panties in a puddle at my feet with one endearment and a single caress.
Last night, I wanted him to replace the hurt I felt in my heart for the loss of my parents with his touch. He eased the pain somehow making me warm and safe.
Managing to slide out of bed without touching his manhood, I notice my breasts could be seen through my shirt and my shorts are too short for comfort as I stand at the edge of the bed. He makes no move to get out. His legs almost hang over the edge of the mattress at the foot of the bed making him look funny.
“It’s Saturday,” he says.
I check my phone and see a missed text from Exie telling me that she will be here around five to pick me up and head to the fair. “Yeah, I have plans.”
He shrugs his shoulders. “I do, too. What are you up to today?”
My eyes are trained on my phone reading the rest of the text saying her brother will also be there and a couple of his friends.
Sending her a message thanking her for the invite and telling her it’s cool. I answer. “I’m going to the county fair with Exie. She invited me.”
He stiffens, and when I raise my head, he looks away. “Yeah, that is where I’m headed with the guys and—”
“Your girlfriend, Sarah,” she finishes for me.
Hearing me say it out loud is like acid burning my tongue. What he sees in her is beyond me except she reminds me of Melissa and gives a guy what he needs between the sheets.
It is the only thing I could come up with. When Kalum kissed me last night, it was all-consuming, like nothing mattered. It was a kiss I have never experienced. If he kisses Sarah like that, it is no wonder she is a possessive bitch when it comes to him. How her sleeping with Jimmy behind Kalum’s back, according to Exie, even after Kalum made it official, is beyond me. I take a deep breath, knowing it is the right thing to say.
“I promise to stay away. You won’t even know I’m there.”
“Aura.”
I raise a hand. “It’s cool. I understand.” My cheeks blow a puff of air out. “It was why I said it wasn’t right for you to be inside my room. I appreciate you staying with me last night. You were great and were there for me when I needed someone.”
“But,” he blurts.
