“Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to.”
“You know what?”
“What, Livvy?”
All in one breath, she spoke with conviction, “You’re right.”
ChapterEighteen
Livvy
Twenty-Six Years Old
I startedmy day by drinking a full glass of warm lemon water while I leaned over the island in my apartment, going through my emails as I waited for Ethan’s plane to land. I was still living in California, and Ethan owned one of his headquarters for his app in LA. Despite having all the money in the world, he stayed at my place anytime he was in town.
I grabbed my yoga mat to exercise on my living room floor. I slipped on my Bluetooth headphones, shaking out my head for the anxiety I was suddenly feeling. Getting into position on my mat, I faced the foam and went into downward dog position with my butt in the air.
Lifting my leg in the air next, I pressed my shoulder blades into the mat, deeply breathing out at the same time, and already, the elephant on my chest lightened up. Swiftly, I changed into a standing straddle, forward bend. Grabbing onto the back of my ankles, I pulled my chest as close as it would go under my legs. I’d been doing yoga since I began college and been addicted ever since.
Never once did I open my eyes, knowing the mat by my memory alone. Slowly, I slid to the ground and lay on my back. Raising my hips to the air, I stretched my lower back, once again releasing another solid breath. Pumping my hips up and down a few times, I inhaled in and out. Making sure to feel the strain the movement triggered in my muscles.
Gripping the inner sides of my feet, I got into the ananda balasana pose, which basically looked like an upside-down frog. Letting my breathing go long and deep, I was about to change positions.
Except when I opened my eyes for the first time, I loudly gasped, causing my butt to wiggle in this extremely sexual position.
“How long have you been standing there?”
Ethan smiled, bright and bold. “Long enough to feel like I should be throwing money at you, but instead, I’m just enjoying the free show.”
I let go of my feet and shot up. “You’re horrible. Your plane must have landed early.”
“I love the welcome I come home to. Maybe next time, you should do yoga in a bikini instead.”
“You wish,” I baited.
“That little number you’re wearing doesn’t leave much to the imagination.”
I was in a sports bra and spandex booty shorts.
“I thought I was alone.”
“Here I thought this warm welcome was for me, but don’t stop on my behalf. I can help you stretch those tight muscles. You know, get you nice and wet if you need me to.”
“Ethan!”
“What?” He innocently shrugged. “Sweating is good for you.”
I smirked at him.
“Do you know that you make sex noises when you’re doing what you call yoga, right?”
“I do not.”
“I’m very familiar with your sex noises, Livvy. You could probably call me a pro, considering I taught you everything you love.”
My eyes widened. “Have you been drinking? What’s with the trip down memory lane?”
“It doesn’t have to be a memory.”
