CHAPTER ELEVEN

Frank greeted them at the door and barked loudly when he saw Eliza’s bloody hair. He sniffed the air and growled at Evan.

“You reek of pepper spray,” Eliza said. “You should shower.”

“Likewise.” Evan flicked her hair.

“This is not what I had in mind when I said I wanted to spend the day with you,” Eliza said once they were in the shower. Evan was gently washing the blood from her hair and trying not to agitate her wound.

“It’s not the best co-ed shower we’ve ever taken,” Evan said with a laugh. “But I’m not complaining.”

“Me neither.” Eliza tilted her head back and closed her eyes. “We might have to make this part of our morning ritual. I like having my own personal shampooer.”

Evan finished with the strand of hair between his fingers and put both arms around her from behind. He kissed her neck and said, “Are there any other parts of your body you need me to rub clean?”

“Evan!” Eliza giggled and squirmed in his arms.

“Whoa. Settle down, King. Writhing your naked body against mine isn’t a great idea.” He let her go and moved back a few inches. “I think we both could use a little recovery time right now.”

“That’s probably a good idea.” Eliza turned around and kissed him quickly. “I think I’m going to lie down for a bit. Care to join me?”

“I’ve got some things to take care of first. You go on ahead.” Evan reached past Eliza and turned off the water. “I’m sure Frank will be more than happy to snuggle with you.”

“It’s not the same.” She smiled and stepped out of the shower. “Frank doesn’t grope my breasts when he snuggles with me.”

“Only because he doesn’t have hands,” Evan said. “Opposable thumbs are the greatest thing that ever happened to men.”

Eliza tossed his towel at him. “Men are so simple. One squeeze of my breast and you’ll do anything I ask you to do.”

“Care to test that theory?” Evan said, raising a hopeful eyebrow.

“Maybe later.” Eliza wrapped the other towel around her and left the room.

Eliza took a nap alone while Evan and Frank were busy building things. When she woke up, she searched the house for them before finally finding them in the garage. Frank sat dutifully on the floor next to Evan while he worked the table saw. Eliza smiled as she watched him work. Besides looking incredibly sexy, it was nice to see Evan doing something that he clearly enjoyed. Evan finally sensed her relentless stare and looked over.

“How long have you been standing there, Elle?” he asked, removing his safety glasses.

Eliza stepped further into the garage. She was still wearing the robe she’d put on after her shower. “Just a couple of minutes. I was worried when I couldn’t find you or Frank in the house.”

“We’re doing some male bonding,” Evan said.

“What’s all this for?” she asked, gesturing to the wood and drywall.

“I’m expanding the closet in our bedroom,” Evan said.

Eliza’s eyes narrowed. “You are? Why?”

“I’m assuming you have clothes and things you’re planning to bring with you when you move in,” Evan said.
