Chapter 8

The knock on her apartment door startled her. It was Friday night and all she’d wanted to do was take a shower, then crawl into bed for the next ten hours. Instead, she tossed the wet towel into her bathroom, pulled her wet hair up into a twist, and grabbed a robe, tightening the belt around her waist. With the chain still in place, she opened the door a crack.

“Yes?” she asked, then her eyes widened when she saw Mike standing in the doorway.

“You’re back!” she yelped, slamming the door shut and releasing the chain, then yanking the door wide before grabbing him and pulling him inside. “You’re back!” she sighed, starting to lean in to kiss him but then she got a good look at him and froze. “Mike! What happened to you?” she demanded. There were bruises and scratches all over him, including a black eye!

Despite the wounds, there was an intense, heated look to his dark eyes as he stepped into the apartment. “I’m hurt,” he joked, holding up a first aid kit. “Think you could patch me up?”

Lexie gasped and took his arm, pulling then stopping when he hissed. “What? What did I do?’ she demanded.

“It’s nothing,” he told her softly, and he pulled her against his other side. “I missed you. Did you miss me too?”

She leaned against him carefully, sliding her hand up his chest as she grinned mischievously. “Why would I miss you? Were you gone?”

She laughed when he swatted her bottom, feeling the delicious sting.

“Try again,” he growled, leaning forward to kiss her lips.

“Yes,” she laughed. “I missed you a lot.”

“Better!” Then he kissed her again, but more gently this time because of his split lip. “You should take off my shirt.”

Lexie pulled back, blinking in surprise. “Your shirt? Mike, you’re hurt. We shouldn’t…”

Mike leaned forward. “I need first aide,” he teased, then took her hands and put them on his waist.

Lexie stared at him for a moment, then slowly, gently, lifted his shirt up over his head and tossed it onto a nearby chair. She paused to take in the glory of Mike’s body. Or at least the half of it she could see.

“Mike,” she whispered, but words failed her. She’d known that he was muscular because of the way he filled out his tee shirts. But seeing him like this, all those muscles in full view was…wow! “Mike, you’re gorgeous.” Her fingers trailed softly over his muscles, tracing the ridges and exploring every part of him, his chest, shoulders, abs. Her fingers stopped as they rested on his belt and she looked up at him, waiting for his permission to continue. “Are you hurt anywhere else?”

“Yes,” he growled, leaning down to kiss her. “I’m in pain much lower.”

She laughed briefly, but then her need to see all of him returned. She slid her fingers between his hard abs and his belt, feeling his muscles tense as she released the buckle.

“Maybe I should do that.” He grabbed her wrists. “You’re taking too long.
