“I can’t tell you about it,” I whispered.

“Why not? You already told me it was X-rated,” he reminded me.

I had done that. “But that was through text messages. It’s likely I never would have said anything otherwise.”

He shot me a dubious look. “Are you kidding me? You’re not telling me you’re shy, are you?”

“No. But this is different. I mean, I barely know you.”

Forrest laughed. “And yet, you were having naughty dreams about me. How is that possible, Daisy?”

I bit my lip.

I had no good response that I was willing to share with him.

He chuckled again, lifting his cup to take a sip of his water. “If you don’t share it with me, I’m just going to wind up imagining all of the possible scenarios. And that’s not going to help anyone.”

“What makes you say that?”

Forrest lifted his shoulders in an attempt to seem indifferent. “It was one thing for me to have my R-rated thoughts about you when I believed it was only one-sided. Now that I know there’s at least a mutual attraction, you can’t expect me to not wonder what’s going through your head. I’m just saying that I think it makes sense for both of us to be on the same page with this. That’s all.”

If ever there was a time when I wished I could have read people’s minds, this was one of them. Because this side of Forrest was a little unexpected. While I had understood him growing more and more comfortable with me as we spent more time together, his determination to know the specifics of what I’d dreamt about was unexpected. I guess it reminded me of the shock I felt when I learned he was a bodyguard.

Having him share that information had caught me off guard, because it didn’t fit with the story I’d had in my head about him. With him having been so polite with me from the start, I didn’t anticipate the two of us ever having a conversation like this.

Then again, if that had been the case, why did I have the dream about him that I did? Maybe this all said more about me than it did about him.

I liked Forrest.

I liked the way he made me feel, and I loved the way he cared.

I’d given a lot more of myself to people who hadn’t even come close to deserving it. And even though it was probably still too early to be absolutely sure about Forrest, he certainly did things a lot differently than everyone else.

Maybe he deserved something special in return.

I inhaled deeply and let out a sigh. “Honestly, I didn’t expect you to be so bossy.”

Surprise washed over Forrest’s expression. It took him a moment to realize I had caved and was going to give him the details. As soon as that happened, an amused look replaced the surprise, and his lips twitched. “What did I do?”

“Well, you wouldn’t touch me at all. And you made me do all the work,” I revealed.

“Where were we?”

“In my suite at the resort.”

He nodded his understanding. “And you just happened to wind up naked?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know the answer to that specifically. I do know that I was on the bed, my clothes had been discarded, and you were still fully clothed at the end of the bed, staring at me. It was frustrating.”

“What part?”

My brows shot up, and I sent an incredulous look his way. “You were getting to see everything, and I got nothing in return. Not even a glimpse of anything. Top to toe, you were completely covered.”

“Mmm. I can see how that would be frustrating.”

I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

“What exactly were you doing in your dream besides laying on the bed, allowing me to look at you?” Forrest pressed.
