Getting Naked

Carter knew he was probably squishing Avery right now, but he couldn’t get his mind and his body to work together.

He finally shifted some and gravity had him landing on his side, his arms still around her, holding her tight.

Her head was on his chest and he felt a contentment he hadn’t ever felt with a woman before.

He ran his hand down her hair which was a tangled mess on the pillow, but he found it charming just the same.

His mouth went to her forehead, he kissed her and then asked, “Are you okay?”

“I think so,” she said. “I’m still taking inventory of my body. That was so intense.”

Now he felt like shit and moved fast to check her over. “Did I hurt you?”

She started to laugh at him. Truly laugh. “No,” she said. “It was in a good way. I guess I should apologize to you though.”

“Why?” he asked, pulling out of her.

“I’m not normally that forward. I pretty much attacked you at the door, then dragged you back here and started to issue you demands.”

This time he laughed. “You can do that any time you want. I have no problem with it.”

“Really?” she asked.

“I’m not sure many men would have an issue with it,” he said and moved to get off the bed. He had to take care of the condom anyway.

He walked to the bathroom across the hall, cleaned up, and then came back. She had her bra and underwear back on already and was reaching for her shirt.

He grabbed his jeans and underwear together and pulled them on. Guess they were done for the night. It’s not as if he was staying when he had his dogs at home.

“I haven’t been with a lot of men,” she said.

“What?” he asked, pulling his shirt on.

“You commented on not many men would have a problem with it. I didn’t want you to think I’ve been with a lot.”

“I didn’t mean it that way,” he said, wondering how he put his foot in his mouth with that statement. He tried to play it back in his head, but it wasn’t coming out the way he was thinking it.

He was going to try to explain when she said, “Last week when I was talking to Ava and Seth, I got thinking they might think ill of me. I’m here on the island not even two months and I’m dating someone and what that might look like to people.”

“It doesn’t look like anything to me,” he said. “Do you care what people think? It’s not like you came here with another man.”

“I don’t normally care with people think, but this is a new life for Josie. Back in Danbury people knew the situation. Those that knew us knew about Kurt and then I’ve been single for a long time.”

It was the first he’d heard the name. “Kurt?”

She let out a sigh. “My ex,” she said.

“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked. She hadn’t said much about him other than once she got Josie things didn’t work out.
