Chapter Six
Addilyn
“Are you sure you’reok with this?” I ask Nate for the tenth time.
My mom decided since tomorrow the rest of the family is coming that tonight we need to have a girl’s night. Which means Nate will be stuck alone with my dad, brother, and brother-in-law. I tried every way to get out of it, but it was useless. She arranged for some old friends of mine to meet us and if it weren’t for leaving Nate, I’d be excited.
“Addilyn, I told you it’s fine. Go have fun,” he says, pulling his shirt off. “I’m going to jump in the shower.”
I stare at his muscular body until he closes the bathroom door behind him. Sagging, I fall to the bed. It’s been a few days and each day I feel myself pulling closer to him. It’s not supposed to be like this, but damn it’s hard. The way he touches me. The feel of his strong arms wrapped around me. His sexy clean scent, dark mesmerizing eyes, and holy shit hot body are making it impossible to not feel things. And have I mentioned we’ve been sleeping in the same bed? Oh we have and every night I feel myself moving closer to him. As a matter of fact today I woke up with his arm draped over my stomach. I should have moved, jumped out of bed, but I didn’t. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the thought that he was purposely touching me.
He said he doesn’t touch in private, but he sure as hell does with me. It’s little touches, almost not noticeable. A brush of my shoulder, a hand grazing my ass, tucking my hair behind my ear. I have to think that he’s feeling the same way I am, but I’ve been wrong about this in the past so I’m not about to say a word.
“Addie,” my mom yells, snapping me out of my sexual thoughts.
Walking away from my fantasy of a naked, wet Nate in the shower, I go into the hallway. “What’s up?” I ask.
“Tell Nate that the boys are going to order some food, drink, and watch football,” she says, brushing her wet hair. “And you better start getting ready because we are leaving soon.”
“Can I use your shower, Nate is in mine?”
Turning her back, she starts to walk away. “Your father is in there and you know how long that lasts. I’m sure you can get your guy to hurry, or hell, save water and get in there with him.”
“Mom,” I yell with embarrassment.
“Oh don’t act like I’m some old lady who doesn’t think it happens. When your father and I were younger...”
“No, Mom. Holy shit stop right now,” I yell, rushing back into my room, her laughing following me the entire way.
I stall as long as I can. Picking out what I’m wearing, checking my emails, and staring at the closed bathroom door. Not being able to wait any longer, I knock on it.
“What?” he shouts.
“Are you almost finished?”
“What?” he asks even louder.
“I need to shower,” I yell back.
“What?”
Holy shit. Annoyed, I push open the door at the exact moment he steps out of the shower. “Oh fuck,” I shriek, quickly turning around. “I’m so sorry.”
I feel my cheeks heating with embarrassment as he chuckles behind me. Feeling the heat of his wet body behind me, he moves his lips to my ear. “If you wanted to see me you just had to ask,” he whispers in a deep sexy voice.
My body screams at me to ask, but my head says don’t you dare. “Well maybe if you didn’t take such a long shower I wouldn’t have accidently walked in on you,” I mumble.
“Oh is that what is was, my long shower?” he asks, laughing.
Spinning around, I cross my arms. Bad idea, very bad idea. My fantasy of a naked, wet Nate is standing in front of me. Well, he has a towel around his waist, but the drops of water racing down his solid chest to that towel are a sight I’ll definitely be dreaming about.
“Up here Addilyn,” he says, motioning to his face.
The embarrassment rushes over me again. I can’t seem to keep it together around him lately. “I just need to shower.”
“By all means,” he says, stepping out of my way. “I’m going to get dressed.”
He laughs, walking out the bathroom door and I slam it behind him.
