“Will your sister care?”

Rex has never spent the night here. Our sleepovers always happen at his place.

I shake my head in response.

“You sure?”

“Eh …”

Definitely not sure but willing to risk it.

Willing to risk anything to keep him here with me … in my bed … in my life forever.

“We can say you slept on the couch.”

Scooting over, I flip the covers up to allow him enough room to join me. Realizing I’m wearing a dress, I rise to my knees and pull it over my head, now wearing only a bra and boy shorts.

Rex lifts from the bed, panic ensuing me.

He’s leaving.

My hands shake as I wrap my arms around my body, my eyes glued to him as he walks to my closet.

He snags a shirt and tosses it to me. “If we’re sharing a bed, put this on, please and thank you.”

I raise a brow. “I’m not wearing that to bed.”

“You’re also not going to seduce me in your bra and panties.”

“Get over it.” I roll my eyes, bunch the shirt up in my hand, and toss it onto the floor before patting the bed. “It’s cold, so get in here before the panties come off next.”

He throws his head back. “Fuck, you kill me.”

I grin mischievously.

“Get in bed. I’ll be right back.”

Not giving me the chance to ask what he’s doing, he leaves the room. Minutes later, he returns with his laptop. Setting it on the bed, he pulls off his shirt and then his jeans, showing off his semi-erection.

I lick my lips, my mouth watering.

“Nope,” he groans out, snapping his fingers before pointing at my mouth. “Keep your lip-licking and eye-fucking to yourself tonight. Not happening.”

“You suck,” I grumble, dramatically falling back on the bed.

He collapses next to me, pulling his computer on his lap, and rests his back against the headboard. “Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

“You can take a break, you know,” I comment, rising up onto my elbows and focusing on him.

His eyes go to the laptop. “I want to get as much work in as I can. This shit is time-consuming. Also, you can bet your ass, James is frantically clearing his shit right now. I need to get to everything before he does.”

Guilt crashes through me as I frown. “You’re taking time away from your game. That’s not fair.”

“I’m okay.”

“What if you don’t find anything?”

He shrugs, rubbing the back of his neck, kneading away his tension before going back to work. “I’ll plant something on his computer then.”
