Johan

I can’t believe I’m doing this. Can’t believe we’re doing this. I change my bed sheets with shaking hands, my heart thumping so loud I bet Thea can hear it all the way from the bathroom. Every now and then, I hear the gentle slosh of water. The click of a shampoo bottle cap.

She’s here. Inside my house.

In my goddamn bathtub. Wet and soft and naked.

Fuck. No, I can’t let my mind go there. Not when Thea could get out any second, could pad down the hallway into the bedroom with nothing but trust in her eyes. If she saw the hunger gripping me, if she saw my cock swollen behind my fly, she’d never trust me again. She’d run screaming out into the street.

And I don’t know exactly what’s happening between us tonight, don’t fully understand it—all I know is, it’s sweet relief to my soul. Like a drink of cool water after a long, hot day. Like flying down a long stretch of open road, an engine roaring between my thighs.

Thea wants me to take care of her? No strings attached?

Fuck. I’m happy to do it. I’m blessed.

Because I’d rather spend my life putting that young woman to bed, and driving her home from work, and stocking her fridge with groceries, than bedding someone else. She’s it for me.

“Johan?” Thea’s smile is shy as she hovers in the bedroom doorway, my heather gray t-shirt falling almost to her knees. She’s toweled her hair until it’s damp rather than soaked, but it’s still seeping into the fabric. Creating dark spots.

I beckon her inside, my chest so full. Flip the corner of the bed sheet back. “Come here.”

The scent of tea tree and mint follows Thea into my bedroom. Her bare thighs are tanned and muscular, strong from cycling everywhere, and I choke back a groan as she crawls into the center of my bed. She flops back against the pillows, her black hair sprawling in damp waves.

I tug the bed sheet over her body. Let it settle over her curves.

And if we lived somewhere colder, if I could pile more blankets on her, maybe this would be less of a torment. Maybe I’d see less of her body; maybe I wouldn’t be half-wondering if those are her hard nipples I can see.

“You smell nice,” I grunt.

Always the smooth talker.

But Thea smiles up at me, and there’s so much peace in her eyes, so much warmth and comfort that I can barely breathe. I didn’t even realize before how tired she was, how much strain she was carrying, until finally seeing it lift away.

I swallow hard. What happens next? I’ve never put someone to bed before.

“I’ll be downstairs if you need anything.” I lean down before I can stop myself, brushing a bristly kiss on Thea’s forehead. Her skin is so soft, and when I straighten up, she looks as dazed as I feel.

And god help me, I am not a good man. I’m not as trustworthy as she thinks.
