I narrow my eyes at him. How does he know what I was thinking?
He brushes my hair from my forehead. “I know you, Soleil. You can deny it all you want, but I do.”
Denying him is exactly what I want to do, but I can’t since he called me on it. I do the next best thing. I lean back, forcing him to drop his hand.
“Maybe we should concentrate on getting your wound clean. A head wound is no joke,” I say as I resume cleaning the blood from his temple.
“This isn’t a head wound. A head wound is when you end up dizzy and puking your guts out.”
“Are you speaking from experience?”
“Never challenge Riley to a diving competition.”
“Why not?”
“He’s a big fat cheater who’ll push you off the diving board to win.”
“And you hit your head?”
“Nothing clears out the municipal pool faster than a kid throwing up in it.”
“Thanks for the visual.”
He grins. “You’re welcome.”
“You’re such a dork.”
“A charming dork.”
I snort. “Charming?”
“Okay. Fine. Sexy dork. I didn’t want to say it and make you feel uncomfortable, but there you have it.”
“You have no filter.”
“Why would I have a filter? I’m not a swimming pool.”
“A brain to mouth filter to prevent every single idea you have from popping out of your mouth,” I clarify.
“Sounds boring.”
There’s no reasoning with Brody. I concentrate on cleaning the blood from his face. “I think it stopped bleeding.”
“Thanks for being such a wonderful nurse. Too bad you didn’t wear your naughty nurse uniform.”
“How do you know about my naughty nurse uniform?”
He swallows. “You have a naughty nurse uniform?”
I giggle. “Got you.”
“You’re beautiful when you laugh.”
Butterflies long dormant in my stomach threaten to awaken at his words. Not happening. Brody is too young for me. Just like my dad was way too young for my mom.
I turn away from him and the warmth in those baby blue eyes. There’s a limit to how much temptation a woman can handle before she breaks. Especially since I know how good he kisses. How skilled he is at giving me orgasms.
I dig the first aid kit out from underneath the sink and set it on the vanity. I remove some antiseptic wipes and a bandage before kneeling in front of him again.
