"But only when you're ready.You hold all the cards here, Rose.I will never push you for something more than what you're ready for."
I stand there staring at her, and immediately kick myself for that statement because the need to kiss her is almost overwhelming.
Chapter 5
Rose
I'mstandinginthebathroom getting ready for bed, and I stare at all the stuff that apparently is mine.While I know what this stuff is, and I know how to use it, what I don't know is if I like it.Nor do I know why I like it.Have I been using it my whole life, or is it a new product I'm trying out?It's so frustrating to have no idea what my nightly routine is.
When I took a shower, it was irritating not knowing how I like my water temperature.I think I spent five minutes just trying to figure it out.Then I had no idea what my routine was in the shower, and I took so long that Miles peeked his head in just to make sure that I was all right.
Now I’m standing in front of the mirror slowly testing out each product in front of me.There are a few different lotions, a hand cream, and a face cream.After I brush my teeth, I put on the face cream and hope for the best.
But when I step out into the bedroom, I'm suddenly nervous again.When I enter the bedroom, Miles is sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard, and his eyes look up from his phone.
"I'm sorry I took so long in the bathroom.It’s really strange not knowing your own routine on something I'm sure I've done a thousand times."
"No need to apologize.You take all the time you need.I can only imagine what this is like for you.But I will always check-in and make sure that you are fine," he says, patting the spot next to him on the bed.
I slowly make my way over to him and sit down.Then I pull the blanket over me because apparently, I like to sleep in tank tops and short cotton shorts that expose my entire leg.Though sitting in bed with him I feel almost naked.
Once I'm settled, I look up at him and he looks nervous.Did I do something wrong?Does he have bad news?
"What is it?What's wrong?"I ask, not being able to stand the suspense.
Then he takes my hand in his, setting his phone down on the nightstand, and turns his full attention to me.
"When you were in the hospital, I didn't know how long you were going to be out.But I did know that when you woke up, you were going to need your rest, so I messaged your school and told them what was going on."
"What did they say?"I ask, even though the thought of going back to school holds absolutely no appeal to me.
"Well, they wanted to be kept updated, of course.So when you woke up with no memory, I contacted them again and arranged for this last semester to be deferred to the fall semester.That way, you won't have to go back right away."
Sitting there, I don't say anything right away.Right now, I have no desire to go back to school, not that I remember anything that I was studying, anyway.So it makes sense to wait until at least my memories come back and I can decide what I want to do from there.I'm sure I had a goal in mind for my studies, but if I was asked to take a test right now, I'd probably fail spectacularly.
"I just didn't want anyone taking advantage of your situation,” he says."If you don't remember people, it's easy for them to step in with bad intentions.Plus, if I'm being honest, I just want to be close to you right now, especially until you get your memories back."When he whispers the last part, I turn in bed to face him.
What girl wouldn't want this sexy as sin man wanting to take care of her and wanting to be close to her?I don't know what to say, so I don't.Instead, I just react, leaning in and pulling his lips to mine.
Even though I know we must have kissed a hundred times, this is like our first kiss for me.For just a moment, he is stunned before he takes control of the kiss, tilting my head to the perfect angle and running his tongue across my bottom lip before easing it into my mouth and tangling it with mine.
This kiss isn't rushed.It's slow and passionate and has the ability to drive me absolutely crazy.If I thought holding his hand turned me on, holy hell, this kiss has my body on fire.
While I don't have my memories, and I have no idea who I've kissed before, there is no way that I have kissed anyone and it felt like this.My body seems to think there's too much space between us and I make a move toward him.But he nips at my bottom lip before pulling away.
He's breathing hard just like I am, and I love knowing that I have the same effect on him that he has on me.It's impossible to miss how hard he is, and the tent in his pants is pretty impressive.
"Fuck, Rose, that was some kiss.It was the last thing I was expecting, but it was hot as hell," he says, trying to catch his breath.
He's not wrong.That kiss has my body so turned on I don't know what to do.Especially after he made it perfectly clear before dinner that he's the only one who makes my body cum.
"Can we do that again?"I ask, unsure what to do.He curses under his breath and shakes his head.
"If you kiss me like that again, I'm going to pin you down and do things I don't think you are quite ready for, my sweet Rose.Why don't you try to get some sleep as it's been a long day?You do need to get some rest.
I don't know how I expected this day to end when I realized I had none of my memories, but going to bed with a sexy cowboy next to me and my body frustrated, definitely wasn't it.
