My bedroom is extra warm when I wake up. Maybe it’s because I’m snuggled deep down in the covers to the point that all anyone can see is my eyes. It’s still snowing outside, but not as hard as when I fell asleep. It should stop soon, and then I’ll start to prepare. Thursday will be the day the curse of the Haunted will end.
I sit with what I expect to be eagerness and hope, but it spills out as a groan.
Ow.
I move my legs again. Crap, that really hurts.
“What’s wrong?” Reid’s voice is sleepy. When I glance over at him, I’m reminded exactly why I seem to be sore this morning. Him and his uncanny handsomeness that I can’t seem to deny myself. His eyes are still closed, so he can’t see the grimace on my face as I carefully scoot to the edge of the bed, one careful inch at a time.
“It’s nothing,” I say, sliding off the edge. “I think I’m going to take a quick bath.”
His eyes pop open, and I try to straighten out my face, but he catches it. “What’s wrong?” he asks again. He’s up now. His brows scrunched together. “I hurt you, didn’t I?”
I hold up my hands to shush him. “It’s fine, Reid. Everything is perfectly normal. It’s nothing a long, hot bath can’t remedy.”
At least I hope so. I don’t exactly have experience in this area, but a hot bath seems like it should work. Reid still looks worried, so I reach back up into the bed and kiss him. He leans back, but he’s still frowning.
“Stop that,” I say, pointing at his face. “It’s not allowed today.”
I leave him sitting in the bed to go take my bath. I take my time, soaking in the bubbles until the water goes cold. Flurries float outside the window, dancing around like puppies at a park. Reid is back in my bedroom, but his hair is wet from the shower. He pulls a red flannel shirt over his head, spraying water out from his hair. He grabs another shirt from the closet and puts it on too. “Dress warm today. It’s freezing out there.”
I nod, tugging my house coat tighter around me for a second before taking it off. I walk across the room to my closet, naked. I grab some clothes from my dresser, and Reid clears his throat behind me. I glance over my shoulder at him, and his face is flaming red.
His gaze is on the floor, but it raises to meet mine slowly. “Glad to see you’re feeling well enough to tease me.”
I grin. “You’re welcome.”
He shakes his head, laughing. Reid waits until I’m dressed to come to me. I’m not sure if he’s trying to be a gentleman, or simply enjoying the show. The way he bites his lip seems to imply the latter. That look…like I’m the only thing he’s ever wanted in the world…it takes my breath away. Every. Single. Time.
He kisses me softly. Even his touch is gentle.
