Yeah, this is going to be a problem.

CASTLE
Needless to say,we don’t have dinner together that night. I eat my pizza out on my balcony washed down with a large glass of whiskey, trying to purge the memory of Callie dancing in the shower from of my head.
Except it doesn’t work. It completely backfires. The more I trynotto think about it, the more my memory keeps focusing on the tiniest little details—the way her hips rolled and swayed. The tan of her skin through the fogged glass. The darker coloring of her nipples.
The way she saw me…andgrinned.
She knows exactly what she’s doing. She’s fucking with me. Goading me. Making this whole fucking situation even harder for me. But, this all tracks with who Callie Drakos is as a person. I’ve only known her for a year and half, but that’s what she is.
An instigator.
A troublemaker.
A provocateur.
Which would all be fine, and something I could ignore, if it wasn’t for the tiny little fact that I can’t stop thinking about her in dark, carnal ways. Or stop fantasizing about wrapping that long dark hair in my fist and guiding her bratty, sassy mouth to my swollen cock.
Yeah, trying not to think about it blows up in my face. Because three drinks later and about an hour after seeing Callie dance her way through my fantasies, I’m back in the dark of my room with my cock pulsing and twitching in my hand as my cum sprays into a towel.
What a fitting end to this ridiculous day.
* * *
I’mup early the next morning. I mean, I’m always up early, but today it’s early even by my standards.
I work out, run five miles on the treadmill, and eat breakfast.
There’s no sign of Callie.
I assume it’s because she’s twenty-one years old, and it’s barely nine, so she’s probably still sleeping. But part of me wonders if she’s having second thoughts about grinning at me when I saw her in the shower. I wonder if she’s thinking about it now with embarrassment and some awkwardness, and is hiding away in her room.
I mean, yeah, I thought she was screaming for help, not yelling a Miley Cyrus pop anthem. But Ididbarge in on her privacy.
I’m still grumpy about that, and still kinda thinking about what I saw when Ididbarge in there, when I get text from Cillian, letting me know that he, Ares, Diemos, and Hades are a few blocks away and are dropping by for coffee.
I head upstairs and knock on Callie’s door.
“Callie, you up? Cil and your brothers are almost here.”
There’s no answer. I knock again, harder.
“Callie.”
There’s still no answer. This time, I slam my fist on the door. When there’sstillno answer, my hackles raise.
I don’t care if you are only twenty-one. Nobody sleeps through something that loud.
I twist the knob and crack the door open as I stick my head inside.
Fuck. Me.
She’s got AirPods in her ears. Because sheisstill sleeping.
On top of the covers.
