She was talking a hundred miles per hour, and there wasn’t any way for me to get a word in. I had a feeling her mind was doing the same thing mine was, though I noticed that she was getting redder by the second. It was as though she knew she should be leaving, or that she shouldn’t be looking at me, but there was another part of her that wasn’t letting her walk away.
Her brain was telling her not to look, but her hands remained at her sides, and her eyes kept going down my body to where my towel was poking quite a way outward from me. I wasn’t even hard, and I halfway wished that I was, even if I was dying of embarrassment myself.
Then, as though all of her common sense came back to her in one instant, Cassie threw her hands over her eyes and apologized to me as best she could several times. I tried to stopher from saying she was sorry, but she was adamant she was going to say what was on her mind.
“I’ll be going now,” she said suddenly. “Lucy is in bed, asleep.”
With that, she turned on her heel and rushed down the hall, heading for the stairs and out the doorway, I could imagine. I didn’t know why panic overtook me in that moment, but all I could think about was if she left on that bad note, then there was a chance she wasn’t going to come back.
I didn’t want her to think that this was something that I had done on purpose, and I hated the thought that she would worry she had done anything wrong in any of this.
“Cassie!” I called after her. I knew I had to be careful not to wake Lucy. That would only make this entire situation that much worse. But I also wasn’t going to let Cassie leave the house on such an awkward note.
“Cassie, wait up, I’m sorry about this, really,” I said as I took off after her. I hadn’t even thought about the fact I wasn’t dressed in my hurry, and as I ran, the towel flapped open. I was glad Cassie was both far enough ahead of me and had her back turned, so there wasn’t a chance she was seeing what was really underneath the towel.
“Will you please wait a second?” I called out as I headed into the kitchen. I hadn’t meant for the towel to snag on the side of the door, but it came flying off, leaving me entirely naked. I immediately turned and grabbed the towel, then did my best to put it back on.
But, when I looked back up, I realized she had grabbed her purse and turned around right when the towel had fallen. The look she had on her face told me she had indeed seen everything I had covered under the towel, and she was so red, I worried she would pass out from the embarrassment of the situation.
I wished I could shake from my head the thought that she looked so adorable and sexy herself, but she forced herself to talk before I had the chance to say anything else.
“It’s okay,” she squeaked. “Really, don’t think anything more of it. Just what happens when you get so used to living with someone else in your life so infrequently, you get comfortable and somethings things slide.”
She seemed to cringe at her own word choice, but she remained steadfast on her way out the door. “I’ve got to get going before I’m late, but I’ll see you tomorrow, okay?”
“Okay,” I called after her.
The door opening and closing was my only reply, and I was left alone.
I wasn’t sure if I should laugh or cry, or what to think.
All I knew was that this afternoon hadn’t gone as planned.
Chapter Eleven
Cassie
As awful as I felt about doing it, I didn’t go back to the house the next day.
I knew Lucy depended on me to come back, and I had made up my mind I would go back and see her again, but I couldn’t bring myself to face Alex after the incident that had happened. I was so embarrassed over having seen him naked that I could hardly even think about the incident without a plethora of confusing feelings running through me.
Some were feelings that said things like that happened, and it wasn’t anything other than an unfortunate accident that I shouldn’t dwell on.
There were other feelings that told me it was a bigger deal and that I really should make an official report on it for my business.Not that I was sure what to say or do, and it wasn’t as though we had an HR department, but it still felt like I should have documented it on paper somewhere – but then, there were the rest of the feelings swirling through my brain.
Those were the feelings I wished I could ignore, but the same feelings that insisted on being present in a larger-than-life way.
The feelings that told me he really was a god in human form from head to toe. His cock was huge, and he hadn’t even been hard when I saw him. I couldn’t stop thinking about what it would be like to sleep with him, an idea that I had tried to ignore the first day but that now had solidified in the back of my mind as something I really wanted to do.
There was a part of me that felt I should talk to Angela and Teresa about it, but then, I had no idea what to say to them or how to respond to anything they might say to me. I would feel defensive if they were to criticize, but then I would feel defensive if they were to tell me to try to pursue him, too.
My phone rang, and I cringed when I saw it was Alex.
I hadn’t taken his calls the past two days, texting him with a couple of excuses each time he’d tried. But I knew I was running out of reasons not to talk to him, and I owed it to Lucy to at least figure out where we were going from here.
“Hello?” I spoke apprehensively.
“I’m here,” he replied.
