Chapter Five

Brax

Am I crazy? Should I have just let Vanessa stay at a hotel? I wrap my towel around my waist and brush my wet hair away from my eyes. A woman who’s taking up every second of my thoughts is now staying in my guest room, and I can’t stop thinking of all the dirty things I want to do to her.

Last night she didn’t even come out of her room. I know because I couldn’t fall asleep knowing she was lying mere feet from me. Two closed doors separated us, but it felt like she was right beside me.

Jesus, you sound like a fucking stalker.

I let out a sigh and head out of the bathroom. After a longer than normal day of work, I’m ready for a cold beer. I head to the kitchen, Manning hot on my heels, and open the fridge. It isn’t until I’ve cracked the top off that I realize I’m not alone. Vanessa stands in the front entry, her mouth formed into a perfect o-shape.

“Oh shit. Sorry,” she says and covers her eyes quickly.

“I thought you were out.” I’m practically naked, but all I can think of is that I wish she was the one standing here in only a towel. I’m about to tell her that I’ll put some clothes on when I notice her eyes drinking me in. It takes all of my might not to swell up on the spot, thinking about how nice it would be to drop the towel, slowly undress Vanessa, and press myself up against her, feeling every curve of her soft, delicate body.

“I was out.” She spins in a circle, not knowing where to go. “I’m…oh geez, this is awkward.”

Manning rushes to her side, patiently waiting for her to pet him. Some guard dog he is! For the first time in God knows how long, I feel the corners of my mouth turn up. “Vanessa.”

“Yeah.” She turns away from me, one hand on her hip, desperately trying not to look.

“I’ll go get dressed. Are you hungry?”

“Um, no.” My heart drops.

“Cool, well, I’m just going to—”

“I mean, yes.” She licks her full lips, and I realize I’m more hungry for her than any food known to man. “I only had cupcakes for dinner.”

“Jealous.” I start down the hallway, giving her some space to get comfortable. “I’ll make us some sandwiches.”

“Sounds good,” she calls as I close my door behind me and rush to get dressed.
