He stretches out his arms to relieve the stiffness of being seated for so long, then turns to me. “I could use a break,” he says, dropping his arms down again. “Do you want to read for a while?”

He flashes me a cheeky grin, then stands up, and I push my chair back to join him. “Sounds like a plan, Superman.”

ChapterEleven

MASON

Relaxing against the headboard on my bed, I peer up from my book when I hear Ava hum a tune. I’ve noticed her do that occasionally and have been meaning to ask her why she does it.

Lying on her stomach, holding the book out in front of her, with her slim legs swinging back and forth over her luscious ass and her beautiful blonde hair cascading around her shoulders, the girl is a vision.

She is just so damn beautiful.

Taking my glasses off and placing them on the nightstand. I close my book and watch her for a while, trying to figure out where I’ve heard the song she is humming under her breath.

“Why do you do that?” I ask, and her head spins around to look at me.

“Do what?”

“Hum, sometimes when you read?”

Color rises to her cheeks, and she looks back to her book. “No reason.”

Interesting.

She’s blushing.

I love it when she blushes. It shows her vulnerable side, and it’s just so damn adorable.

“Tell me.” I reach over and poke her in the side.

“No.” She squirms, trying to maneuver away from me.

“Come on,” I persist. “Don’t be shy. You can tell me.”

She drops her book and lets out a resigned sigh, then sits up to face me. “Promise you won’t laugh?”

“Cross my heart.” I draw a cross on my chest, and she rolls her eyes.

“Well. When the characters are…” She trails off, twirling a strand of hair around her finger, “Intimate… I hum.”

My eyebrows shoot up. “Intimate as in fucking?”

Oh, I’m going to have some fun with this piece of information.

I bite back a smirk as her cheeks flush a deep shade of pink. “No,” she utters.

“No, they are not fucking? What are they doing then, Flower?”

Her eyes narrow. No longer able to hold back, my lips curl into a smirk, and she straightens her back, giving me a serious look. “For your information, they are making love.”

“So why exactly do you hum?”

“You know how they play music in the background when the characters in a romance movie make love?” she explains, and I nod my head. “Well, that’s what I’m doing. Humming a romantic song for the characters in my book.”

I snort. “Sounds more like porno to me.”

Her jaw drops, and I roar with laughter. She cocks her head to the side and raises her eyebrows. “And how would you know that, Mason Reynolds?”
