Chapter Thirteen
Once I was inside Mr. Stone’s bedroom I closed the door and listened to the sound of him showering. Positive that I wouldn’t be caught, I began to walk around his bedroom, inspecting the items on his dresser.
I sniffed his cologne but I didn’t like it. I much preferred his natural scent. Other items on the surface included an old silver-plated fob watch with someone else’s initials graved into the back, and his wallet.
Checking to make sure the shower was still running, I opened the top drawer of his dresser and peered inside. I wasn’t usually one to snoop, but I wanted to know everything about Tom.
There was nothing out of the ordinary here: socks and boxer-briefs. I moved some of the socks aside to find an unopened box of condoms, but that wasn’t what caught my eye. A small velvet ring-box was stowed at the back of the drawer. I reached in, picked it up and opened it without hesitation. A petite diamond engagement ring was nestled inside. Hadn’t he mentioned before that he’d been engaged once? I’d never found out what had happened. Perhaps his fiancé had discovered his secret.
I heard the shower turn off in the bathroom so I quickly stuffed the ring-box back inside and closed the drawer.
I sat on the edge of Tom’s bed and rubbed my hair dry with the towel, watching myself in the full-length mirror opposite while Mr. Stone was in the bathroom.
Part of me considered shedding the towel and staying naked until he walked into the room. Would he stare at me like he had in the forest? Or would he ask me to cover up and leave? I was conflicted, and knew he would be too.
Mr. Stone was attracted to me; he’d confessed it. But he was still in two minds about it. His logical mind reminded him that he was my teacher, and had to respect the boundaries. On the other hand, however, we were drawn to one another because of animal instinct. Who else could be perfect for him, if not another of the same species? By the sounds of it, I was the only female of my kind within miles.
I heard Mr. Stone exit the bathroom and walk across the hall. He rapped his knuckles on the bedroom door quietly.
‘Are you decent?’ he asked.
‘Yes,’ I lied.
Mr. Stone opened the door wearing nothing but a towel, which was wrapped loosely around his waist, showing his pelvis. I stared at his perfection; his dusty brown hair was combed back, and water glistened on his chest. I could even see the thicket of curls above his pubic region. If the towel was a few inches lower …
He paused in the doorway. ‘You’re not dressed yet.’
I shook my head. ‘No, I’m not.’
‘Didn’t the clothes fit?’
I shrugged. ‘I haven’t tried them yet.’
He rested his weight on the door handle, looking out of place in his own home.
‘You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?’ he asked.
‘Yes,’ I replied. ‘Aren’t you?’
‘What?’
I nodded towards the loose towel, and he quickly grabbed the hem and pulled it higher.
