CHAPTER EIGHT

aiden

I let the steaming hot water pound down my back. Relaxing and soothing the tight muscles on my back and shoulders. I shut my eyes and let my mind wander to the woman of my dreams. My dream girl and best friend. Gemma.

Gemma and her sweet gaze and soft touch.

Gem, who understood me better than anyone in this world.

All I wanted in life was her. I needed her like I needed air to breathe. The last week had sucked, and I was done hanging around with a finger up my ass, waiting for her to come to her senses.

Gemma was probably scared. Worried I didn’t feel the same way.

But you told her you loved her, a voice perked up in my ears. I tried to shake it away. Just like she knew me, I knew her.

I knew how in her head she could get.

How she could tangle herself up in knots.

Shit. I turned the water off and wrapped a towel around my waist. I needed to help Jay hang Christmas lights and decorate, but fuck me, I needed to get to my girl.

I stomped out of the steaming bathroom, fired up.

“You know, you’re a pain in my ass,” I said into the empty hallway and stopped in the living room, my eyes on the kitchen.

An almost empty kitchen.

Gem’s delicate frame stood with her back to me, and when she turned, my body heat notched up ten degrees.

“Gemma?” My voice sounded strained in my ears. Is she actually here? In my place? Standing in front of me? Or have I officially lost my shit?

“I’m sorry,” she said as her eyes roamed up my body. My dick kicked into gear, getting hard at the speed of light. I breathed in, and her scent was actually in the air. She was really here,

“For?” I asked as I tried to hold on to some kind of shred of control.

“Being a pain in⁠—"

“No, I didn’t mean you.” I shook my head and stepped forward but stopped. I didn’t want to crowd her. “Jay was here,” I shared.

“He just left.” She pointed at the door behind her. I didn’t miss the way her eyes dropped to my wet bare chest. “He said to tell you you’re welcome?”

“I’m… what does that mean?”

“I don’t know. It’s Jay,” she reminded me, and that made enough sense to me. Unless he’d set this up. Had me shower because he had somehow talked Gem into coming over. “Did he call you?”

“What?” She looked confused. “No. Why? Was he supposed to?”

“No.” I shook my head. “So…” Everything in my body was yelling at me, fucking shouting at me to go straight up to her and pick her up.

I could see it in my head.

Exactly how the whole thing would unfold. I’d pick her up, and her lithe body would wrap around me while I held on to her with one arm while the other picked up her hair like a ponytail, wrap it around my wrist so I could control the hot and heavy kiss I was dying to give her.
