Is she trying to kill me?
Her gaze shoots down my body the same way I did hers, but I was more discreet about it. She’s either clueless to how transparent she is or she doesn’t care. My cock twitches in my shorts. She needs to quit looking at me like she wants me for breakfast before I have her pussy as mine.
I tip my chin up in response. “Morning.”
She bites into her lip and looks past me, into the house. “Sorry if I woke anyone up, but something is wrong with the water. I can’t get any decent water pressure in the shower. Hudson said he’d stop by sometime today to look at it, so I wanted to give you a heads-up he was coming.”
“I’ll take a look at it.”
There’s sleep in her eyes, exhaustion on her face, and her thick hair is pulled into a ponytail, loose strands moving with the morning wind. “You sure?”
“If there’s a problem, it’s my responsibility.” I cock my head toward the loft. “Come on, let’s take a look at it.”
The sun is rising as I lead her to the loft, and I don’t realize I’m not wearing a shirt until we make it into the bathroom. She’s sans bra. We’re both somewhat bare to each other. A bra is on the floor. Red. Lace.
So fucking sexy.
She kicks at it with her feet. “Sorry. I was planning on cleaning up before I left for work.”
“I don’t mind the new decor.” I step into the tub and quickly figure out the solution. “Looks like the showerhead is clogged. I’ll get a new one and fix it after work.”
“Should’ve been the first thing I checked. I’m working a double today, so I won’t be back until late. There’s no rush.”
“You can use the shower in the house if you want.”
She shakes her head. “Dallas said he’d lend me his shower in exchange for me bringing diapers.”
“I heard you were a second-time auntie.”
“It’s a big responsibility, you know.” She leans against the counter and crosses her arms. “Giving them candy and sending them home on a sugar high. I’m the best aunt ever.” She sighs. “In all seriousness, it did bring my brother out of the darkness. Samuel is one of the best things to happen to our family lately.”
“Glad to hear that. Dallas is a good dude. Good things happen to good people.” I step out of the tub. “I’ll try to have it fixed by the time you’re home tonight, so you won’t be on diaper duty again.”
“Thank you.” She pauses. “We, uh … never discussed rent.”
“Let me talk with my dad and get back with you.”Not happening.
Kyle was right when he said I wouldn’t take a penny from her.
“Cool.” She picks up her bra, tosses it into the hamper, and closes the lid before grabbing her bag.
I stop her before she leaves. “As your landlord, it’s probably smart I give you my number—you know, in case anything else like this happens again.”
“Fair point.”
I rattle off my number, and she punches it into her phone. I’m tempted to ask for hers but don’t. I can’t go there … can’t risk texting her when I’m desperate.
I’m about to leave the bathroom when she stands on her tiptoes, grabs my chin, and pulls it to the side, examining my cheek. “How are your stitches? Any pain or irritation?”
“No pain, no irritation. They haven’t been bothering me at all.”
She keeps inspecting them. “They’re healing nicely.”
I smile. “Because they were done by the best, right?”
“Duh.” She follows me out of the bathroom. “I’ll see you, uh … later. Thank you for fixing the shower.”
“It’s no problem.” I clear my throat when she turns around. “And nice shirt.”
