Me.

Not that family friend who was eyeing her up like she’s a sweet treat.

He needs to lose her number and never talk to her again.

I give my head a slight shake to clear it of these thoughts. Never in my life have I experienced even a whiff of jealousy where a female was concerned. It just goes to show you how different my feelings for Juliette are.

With those thoughts circling through my head, I slip inside the bathroom and take care of business before washing my hands and then putting a small dollop of toothpaste on my finger and scrubbing it over my teeth. When they’re passably clean, I rinse my mouth out. The quickest way to turn someone off is with dragon breath.

I open the bathroom door, ready to head back to Juliette’s room and wake her up with my dick, only to stumble to a halt as Carina leans all casual-like against the doorjamb with her arms crossed against her breasts. Her blonde hair is mussed and tumbling wildly around her shoulders.

“Well, well, well,” she says almost conversationally even though the expression on her face is anything but. “Isn’t this a surprise.”

I raise my brows. “A pleasant one, I hope.”

My attempt to lighten the mood with a bit of humor falls flat.

Her eyes narrow. “That has yet to be determined.”

Before I can say anything else, she straightens to her full height. Carina is tall. Probably somewhere in the vicinity of five foot ten. She takes a step forward and invades my personal space before stabbing a pointed finger at my bare chest.

“You hurt that girl, and I’ll come for you. Understand?” She cocks her head. “You don’t even want to know what I’ll do. But rest assured, you’ll never be the same again.”

I gulp. Carina can be scary when she wants. Like now. “Isn’t it a little early in the morning to be threatening my manhood?”

“It’s never too early for that. And make no mistake, it’s not a threat. More like a promise of retribution.”

I hold up my hands in a gesture of surrender. The last thing I want is for her to get ramped up. “I’ll do everything in my power not to hurt her, all right?”

She pokes me a second time, but it lacks the previous aggression. “Better not. Now get out of my way, I need to use the bathroom.”

I quickly step aside and extend my arm. It’s tempting to tell her that I’m not the one who initiated this convo, but I’m afraid she’ll drill her finger into me for a third time. I have a feeling that what she already did will leave a mark.

With one last glower, she closes the door behind her. I shake my head and slip back inside the bedroom. My gaze immediately falls to Juliette.

And her naked breasts.

So fucking delectable.

Already my mouth is watering for a taste of her.

All of her.

She’s seriously sweet all over.

As I beeline toward the queen-sized bed, my gaze flickers to the nightstand. When a folded-up piece of paper catches my eye, I pivot at the last moment. I know exactly what it is. There’s a screenshot on my phone.

And to think…

That list is what sparked everything between us.

Seems crazy.

Even though I have the damn thing memorized, I reach out and pick up the paper before carefully unfolding the sheet and staring at the list. My gaze slides over each number.
