Chapter 15

Blue

Erik’s house is unbelievable. I’d left him in bed a good half hour ago and set out to explore. I easily found the kitchen with its gorgeous farmhouse cream cupboards, black granite counter tops and copper accents. Erik is a coffee drinker so I expected a coffee pot. Instead, I found a fancy coffee/espresso maker that I couldn’t figure out so I left it behind.

I wandered through the living room, marveling at the sumptuous feel of his leather couches, unlike any leather I’d ever felt before. He has a billiard room with dark-paneled walls and thick forest-green carpet that my toes sink into. The theater room is amazing and through immense curiosity, I find out the seats recline. There’s even an old-fashioned popcorn maker in there.

I can tell the den on the other side of the billiard room is where Erik spends his time. He’s got a pair of his shoes on the floor by a recliner and there’s a monstrous TV, larger than any I’ve ever seen. Several sporting magazines cover the coffee table and there’s even a pile of mail there that had been opened and sorted, but then looks like it was promptly forgotten about.

From the den I step out onto the back patio and gaze out over the lushest, greenest grass I’d ever seen in my life. Well, probably not but living here in the brown of the desert, it stands out in contrast. Just off the patio is a rectangular pool surrounded by expensive-looking stone pavers, and the entire backyard has a stucco and brick privacy fence at least six feet tall.

I walk to the edge of the pool and dip my toe in. Satisfied with its temperature, I plop down on the edge and stick my feet in the water, swishing them back and forth as I take in the lush landscaping that makes this area seem like a tropical paradise.

“Feel free to jump in,” Erik says from the patio behind me and I almost fall in, it scares me so bad. He laughs as he walks over to join me, wearing nothing but a pair of boxer briefs. I stare speechless at him as he sits next to me, those powerful legs coming to rest right beside mine. His bare chest is hard to turn away from. His muscles are powerful yet he’s sleek at the same time.

“You look cute in my T-shirt,” he says as he takes me in.

“I didn’t think you’d mind.” I’d nosily poked around his dresser drawers for one while he snored away the earliest of the early-morning hours.

“Of course not,” he says with a playful smile and then trails a finger across my thigh. “I like you better out of clothes, though.”

God, I like him better out of clothes too. Last night was amazing.

I’m still not quite sure how to reconcile in my mind how fast things have moved between us. Just a few weeks ago, I couldn’t stand him and now I sort of want to crawl onto his lap and just snuggle in for the long haul.
