Eden’s house is so suburban. Not that I thought she lived in some kinky lair in the city’s underbelly, but I did not expect this. She has a perfectly manicured front lawn, a deep-red front door, and flowers growing in the flower bed in front of the porch.

I check the address three times to make sure I’m in the right place.

I pull the car into the driveway and text her that I’m here. I’m praying that she’ll at least let me in, but part of me is ready for her to take the groceries and slam the door in my face.

I am invading her privacy. She has a fortress of well-constructed boundaries that are meant to keep others out of her private life, but I seem to be bulldozing my way right over all of them.

When she opens the front door for me, I’m struck speechless by the sight. With the heavy bags cutting off circulation to both of my arms, I’m staring at a version of Eden St. Claire that might be my new favorite. It’s even better than casual movie theater Eden.

Her long black hair is pulled into a loose, messy braid cascading over one shoulder. She’s wearing a dark-red hoodie and a pair of tight black leggings. Her eyes look so much brighter than normal, now a vivid green hue without those heavy lashes casting a shadow over them. Her full lips are not covered in color, and even with the dark circles under her eyes, she looks so stunning I can’t look away.

“Can I come in?” I ask.

She stares at me cautiously before letting out a heavy breath and stepping aside. As I walk into her house, I immediately notice how cozy and homey it is. It’s nothing like the home I grew up in. My childhood was spent in various penthouse suites across multiple cities, and there was never anything cozy about them. They were designed for taste and show, not comfort or living.

When I spot the kitchen down the hall and to the left, I carry the bags there and place them on the counter.

“You said you were getting Popsicles,” she says with her arms crossed, staring at the massive pile.

“Yeah, well…I figured while I was there, I might as well pick up a few more things.”

She picks up the boxes of medicine as I busy myself with emptying the bags. I notice her blinking down at them as she softly mumbles, “You didn’t have to do this.”

“I know I didn’t,” I reply.

She lifts her gaze, and I spot the moisture in her eyes. She looks so tired and beaten down that I’m suddenly acting on impulse. Before I know it, I’m gathering her into my arms, holding her in a warm embrace with her cheek resting against my chest.

We don’t say a word as I rub my hand in circles around her upper back. It takes her a few moments before she gives in and wraps her arms around my waist, letting me just hug her.
