His gaze slowly took in my entire body before he shook his head and made a strange sound in his throat. “You sleep in that every night?”
I glanced down at my pajamas, then nodded.
Kye licked his bottom lip, and I noticed a flash of metal on his tongue before his teeth closed down on his lip.
“I’ll see you at breakfast,” he said, then winked before walking away.
Opening my door, I went inside and stood there for a moment. Okay, so I was pretty positive Kye had been flirting with me. The way he had looked at me was like he was hungry. If only I could get butterflies and tingly feelings with him. Maybe … I wondered if he’d want to show me some things so I could experience them.
Kye seemed like the kind of guy who wouldn’t mind that. I just wanted to know what it felt like to have an orgasm. To be touched in places. Not necessarily sex, but I wasn’t crossing it off.
Levi was too complicated. He, for one, wasn’t interested in my body. He was interested in taking care of me. Like the way he made sure I had my meds and how he stayed with me when Dr. Andrus came to do his visits. Levi had taken on this role as my protector for whatever reason, and I knew I’d somehow gotten very lucky.
After this morning’s experience, I was finding myself wanting to at least get a chance to know how being with a man sexually felt. I knew men weren’t going to want a relationship with me. I couldn’t give them a family. My life wasn’t promised to be long. Who wanted that kind of girlfriend? No one. But that didn’t mean I shouldn’t know how it felt to be wanted. Even if it was just for my body.
Watching Huck with Trinity and Gage with Shiloh all the time made me yearn to feel that. I was getting desperate, apparently, if I was considering asking Kye to help me out.
Dropping my face into my hands, I groaned. The idea was just embarrassing.
My attempt to masturbate in the shower failed again. I’d tried it many times before, and I was not doing something right. Frustrated with my own stupidity, I got dressed and headed down to breakfast.
When I stepped into the kitchen, Kye and Levi were the only ones there, sitting at the table.
Levi lifted his gaze to look at me. “Get you some breakfast.”
I walked over, taking a plate. I noticed the small glass bowls with yogurt, granola, fruit, and what looked like honey drizzled on top. That was more my speed. I picked it up and headed for the table. When I paused, unsure of where I was supposed to sit since the table was normally full and I took whatever available seat there was, Levi pulled out the chair beside him. Taking that as my answer, I walked over and sat down.
I could feel Kye’s eyes on me, and I chanced a peek at him. He gave me a crooked smile.
“Sundress is cute, but I miss those pajamas,” he drawled.
My face felt hot.
“What are you talking about?” Levi sounded angry.
Kye raised his eyebrows at him. “I saw her leaving your room this morning.”
“It’s not what you’re thinking,” Levi bit out.
“Then, you’re a fucking idiot.”
“Enough.” It was one word, but it sounded like an order.
Kye didn’t seem concerned as he took the last piece of bacon off his plate and stuck it in his mouth like a cigarette before standing up. “See you at the shop,” he told Levi, then left the kitchen.
“Put something over those pajamas of yours when you leave the room,” he said, not looking at me.
“Okay.”
We continued to eat in silence. It was starting to feel like I had done something wrong.
Finally, he turned to look at me. “Do you like horses?”
That was an odd question.
“I’ve never actually seen a horse up close, but, yes, I think they’re beautiful. I used to ask Santa for a pony every year for Christmas. Of course, I never got one, and I really started to dislike the man, especially the year Cindy Golf got one for Christmas. It was a relief when I found out Santa wasn’t real. That explained a lot.” I stopped rambling and put another bite of yogurt in my mouth.
“Change out of that sundress and into a pair of jeans. You’re going with me to the stables.”
