Slowly, the orgasms faded, and Troy slipped out of me. He breathed hard, his cheeks a bright red with the heat of our sex and the hot water.
I sagged against the wall, trying to keep myself upright.
Troy turned off the water.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m clean,” he said.
I giggled. “I think you’re the opposite of clean.”
He rolled his eyes but grinned at me.
“Call me crazy, but I’m a cuddler. You wouldn’t know that because you left the last time.”
I pinned him with a hard glare.
“Come with me.”
He took my hand, and we stepped out of the shower. He turned off the water and grabbed the closest towel, wrapping me in it before he toweled himself off with another.
“Warm and dry, that was the idea,” he said. “Mission accomplished… and then some.”
He smirked at me before he opened the bathroom door and popped his head out.
“The coast is clear,” he said. “It sounds like they’re still asleep.”
We tiptoed out of the bathroom and to Rachel’s bed, where Troy peeled back the covers. He got in, and I got in with him. He pulled me against him, and although I wasn’t the type to cuddle after sex—that gave way to emotions, and that could be a dangerous game—I let Troy wrap his arm around me, and I put my head on his chest.
“We shouldn’t have done that,” I said after we lay in silence for a while.Famous last words.
“Yeah,” Troy said. “But we did.”
I nodded against his chest, and we lay in silence for a while longer. Slowly, sleep started to take over as the exhaustion of the day—and our sex—overcame us.
I forced myself to open my eyes and tilted my head up at Troy. His eyes were closed, too, and his breathing had become deeper.
“You have to go to the spare room,” I whispered.
“What?” Troy asked, blinking at me. I could trace his profile in the darkness of the room.
“We’re falling asleep. If the kids come in here tomorrow morning and find us together in bed, naked, there’s going to be a lot of explaining to do that I’m not ready for. Not to mention the fact that Rachel will skin me alive if she finds out through her tiny grapevine that we had sex.”
Troy chuckled, and the sound was deep and reverberated through his chest against my ear.
“Yeah, okay. The last thing I want is the little ones getting a shock.”
“Too many new things already,” I said with a grin.
Troy chuckled again, and I leaned up and kissed him one more time before he got up and finally pulled on the clothes I’d taken out for him.
“I don’t know what tomorrow will look like,” I said. “But we can’t keep doing this.”
“Doing what?” Troy asked.
“This…” I stopped myself when he grinned at me, and I realized that was the point he was making—it was already over. My heart sank at the thought of it, but this wasn’t supposed to be serious. Troy was my rival. He was just a one-night stand.
A two-night stand, at this point.
