CHAPTER TWELVE

BOYFRIENDS, BITES, & BOY SCOUTS

I woke up the next day still cuddled in Eli’s arms. Nuzzling my face into his chest, I inhaled deeply, savoring his scent. He smelled of a cologne that I couldn’t identify and a scent that was all his own. It had a freshness to it that reminded me of what the earth smelled like before it rained. As I rolled over to stretch, I noticed he was awake and my cheeks reddened with embarrassment, but he smiled as our eyes met.

“Good morning.” His voice was hoarse.

“Morning.” I grinned.

“Did you sleep okay?” His finger traced along my arm. The touch made me shiver.

“Better than I expected.” I bit my lip.

“What do you mean? You didn’t think I’d be as comfortable as your other boyfriends?” He teased as he played with a strand of my hair. I smiled to hide the sudden shyness I was feeling. I had never slept with a guy before, in any sense of the phrase.

“That’s not what I meant, but you do have some hard parts.” I poked his chest. “Hold on, did you just refer to yourself as my boyfriend?”

“Well, what do you think I am? Just a friend?” His brow arched as he gazed down at me.

“I’m not sure.” I traced the hair on his chest with my finger.

I didn’t know how to take Eli’s straight forward attitude. I was so used to having to guess about mine and Aiden’s relationship status that I had assumed this would be the same.

“Well, would a friend do this?” He brushed my hair back. He leaned down and pressed his lips to the side of my mouth slowly making his way down to my neck. “What happened?” He jerked back.

“You don’t remember?” I rubbed his arm.

“I didn’t do that.” He asserted.

“Do what?” I asked genuinely confused.

“It looks like something bit you.” He commented running his finger across the no longer concealed mark.

“It’s only a scratch.” My hand flew up to cover the spot. Crap, I thought it wasn’t that noticeable. That bite is taking forever to heal. What did Aiden do to me?

“Do you two want to go get food?” Cassie yelled through the door. I’d never been so delighted to be interrupted in my life.

“Yeah, but we have to get dressed.” I answered, shooting out of bed. I slipped into a pair of jeans and headed for the bathroom with my toothbrush and concealer in hand.

As I came back into the room to finish dressing, Eli was pulling on a shirt. I strolled over to him and as his head came up through the shirt, I gave him a playful kiss startling him into a laugh.

“If putting my clothes on gets that type of reaction out of you, what would taking them off do?” He asked, tugging his shirt back up.

“No.” I said grabbing it. “I really need food.”

“Okay then, to be continued.” He grinned.

As much as I hated going to Betty’s Diner on my days off, it was the only place in town to get food.
