I woke early in the morning to the feeling of someone watching me. Cracking my eyes, I saw we were still on the floor in the museum, only instead of being upstairs and well hidden, we were now in my office covered up by a fleece blanket. Telor still seemed to be sleeping, and I craned my head to see if anyone had noticed us.

They had. Seline was at her desk, watching us with a smirk on her face.

“As your boss, I should scold you for fraternizing with a volunteer,” she said. “As your friend, I will applaud your taste.” She does a quick little clap. “Jilsey called all up-in-arms this morning because you never came home last night. I let her know you were here. I left out the fact that you were all tangled up with Mr. Tall, Dark, Handsome, and English.”

“I’m Welsh,” Telor’s voice rumbled from under me, his voice still thick with sleep. Sitting up, he took me with him. “What time is it?”

“About seven forty-five,” Seline said, amused.

“I’m gonna go grab you some coffee,” Telor said, helping me to my feet, though he didn’t release me right away. The look he gave me made me wish Seline wasn’t here, and this door was locked. Apparently he could read my mind, because he just smiled and kissed me quickly. My mouth followed him as he pulled back. “I’ll be right back. Do you want anything, Seline?”

His casual demeanor at being caught by Seline was amazing. She seemed to be getting more amused by the second. My cheek-to-blush ratio was quickly turning to blush’s favor.

“Is your father as attractive as you are?” she asked.

“Yep,” he answered. “You’ll have to fight my mom for him, though. I’ll warn you, she’s scrappy and can knock grown men on their asses.”

Seline laughed as he left. Her smirk stayed firmly in place.

“So, this is new,” she said. “I was under the impression that you and Gavin were a thing?”

“Not so much,” I answered. “And nothing is really going on with Telor and me. Well, I’m not actually sure what’s going on with us.” I truly wasn’t. There was a yearning for him set deep in my bones. His very essence called to me. But, still, it didn’t mean there was anything going on.

“Looks like a little more than nothing to me,” she said. “Do you want to go home and take a shower and change?”

“Uh, um, no.” I was still not feeling like going home. Chances were one or both of them were there at the moment, and I wasn’t in a fighting mood. “I have stuff upstairs.”
