When Sean dragged in through the door Monday evening covered in plaster dust from head to foot, Megan could tell he was exhausted.

He unlaced his work boots in the tiny foyer. “Sorry about the mess. I’ll clean it up.”

She stood in the doorway of the kitchen with a spatula in one hand, watching him. “Don’t worry about it. If you want to strip your stuff off and leave it there, I’ll take it right down to the laundry room.”

“Thanks.” He took off his button-down shirt, peeled off his undershirt, then unfastened his jeans and slid them over his hips. Megan looked away. This sex between them was still too new for her to feel comfortable watching him strip. Even though they’d spent the weekend doing practically nothing but having sex, today, after being apart from him all day, she was back to feeling a little shy. Besides which, all of those logical reasons for not taking Sean as a lover were back and pricking at her conscience. She returned to her cooking, listening to the rustling his clothes made as he piled them on the floor. Then she heard him pass by the kitchen on his way to the bathroom and shortly afterward the shower went on.

Megan turned down the heat on the stove, gathered together some of her own clothing that needed laundering and collected Sean’s sweaty work clothes. A puff of dust rose as she picked them up and added them to the basket. She took the clothes downstairs to the communal laundry and started several small loads.

When she returned to the apartment, she noticed his work boots were no longer lying in the foyer and the tiles of the front hall had been wiped clean of dust. Sean sat on the couch in a pair of jeans and T-shirt, hair damp, hand wrapped around a bottle of beer, watching TV. He looked up and smiled at her. “Thanks for washing my clothes. They were pretty trashed. Drywalling.”

“What do you do when you put up drywall?” She perched on an arm of the sofa.

“Unload the sheets from the truck. Take them to whatever room we’re working on. Hold them in place while Chuck nails them with the gun. Ceilings are the worst. My arms are killing me. But the messy part is sanding the seams after they’ve been mudded. I got to do some of that this afternoon.”

“Well, you must be hungry. Dinner’s almost ready.” She got up to go to the kitchen and check.

He leaned forward and grabbed her hand, pulling her down on the couch beside him. “It can wait.” He wrapped a hand around the back of her neck and gathered her to him for a kiss. His mouth tasted like toothpaste and beer, a surprisingly erotic combination.

Megan closed her eyes and relaxed into his embrace, kissing him back eagerly.

They made out for several minutes, then she pushed against his chest. “No. Stop. I have to check the dinner before it burns.” She laughed as she wiggled out of his grasp and headed for the kitchen.
