Naked. A voice whispered. So, he might have ignored it, but given the flustered state he was in, he couldn’t.
Something about the way she laughed. The way she dangled her heels from her fingers, her bare feet propped up on his dash.
The way her wet clothes clung to her.
Fuck.
He dunked his face under the rush of water and reached for the faucet to make it cool.
Cooler water had to help because he was heading for a very frustrating place, given that he didn’t have time for a decent jerk. His cock didn’t seem to understand that, twitching to life despite the lukewarm water.
He could have a very unsatisfying jerk. But she was coming in here right after. Not into the shower, but in here. In the bathroom. Somehow, it felt wrong.
Dirty, and not in a fun way. Something a gross creep would do.
He could control himself, after all. She was his friend. He finished his shower and tried to ignore the heavy feeling. The tug at his spine. The urge to wrap his hand around his member and take care of it.
Jaxon cursed the fact that he had brought no clean clothing in with him, so he wrapped Teagan’s towel around his waist, taking extra care to tuck his erection so it wasn’t so apparent if he ran into her in the hallway.
He scooped up the wet pile of work clothes and opened the door.
She was, unfortunately, just walking out of her bedroom when he stepped out into the hall, but she ignored the fact that he was wearing a towel and carrying a soggy lump of clothing in front of him like a shield.
She took his place in the fogged up mirror, leaving the door open as she reapplied makeup and ran a comb through her hair. The room smelled like coconuts now, and that’s when Jaxon realized he was still standing there in the doorway like a creep, watching her.
He backed away and went to grab some clean, dry clothing and get dressed. Checking his watch after he’d tugged on dry socks, he realized they were only forty minutes late if they left right then.
She emerged from the bathroom just as he was finishing up with the laces on his trainers. He looked up at her, and up and up and up, God, she was tall and made out of legs.
She’d styled her hair a bit differently than before, pulling half of it out of her face with a clip. She smiled when his eyes settled on hers.
“Do I look alright?”
Did she expect him to answer that? What with all his awkward staring? She looked a vision.
“Yeah, you’ll do,” he replied, grinning when she made to swat his shoulder.
“Come on, let’s go. We’re late.”
Chapter Eleven
He realized as they were walking into the bar just what it looked like they’d been up to. What with their wet hair and arriving late.
It was the first thing Brad commented on when they sat down. “Hey, you forget how to turn the shower off?”
“At least I take one,” Jaxon replied, smirking.
Brittany lit up like a light bulb when she saw Teagan, pulling her into the booth beside her and forcing Jaxon to take the other end. He slid in beside Teagan, draping his arm across the back of the booth behind her.
“We were running late because of that leak in the basement. I fixed it,” he said with a grin.
Teagan rolled her eyes. “Whatever. I was there also.”
“She was. She watched me fix it.”
“What a load of shit, it wasmyidea.”
“You don’t know anything about plumbing, Teags,” he replied, grinning.
