BJ

I expected Dallas to take me home the next morning, but he surprised me.

“Would it be okay if you stayed here an extra day?” he asked while keeping himself busy cracking eggs into a bowl. He wore nothing but pajama pants, because he really did “run hot,” and the way my eyes kept straying to his muscular naked chest was making me run hot, too. “Only, I have the day off, and I thought… we could hang out.”

He’d helped me limp into the kitchen and perch on a stool at the counter with my leg propped on the stool next to mine. Thankfully, I felt noticeably better today and like I could get by on over-the-counter pain meds instead of the heavier stuff.

“I don’t want to put you out,” I said. “But, um, yeah? I mean, if you want? I’d rather hang out with you than be alone.” The last thing I wanted to do was dwell on my own foolishness this past week, never mind face the looming reality about my job situation.

Besides which, Dallas’s presence was simply… comforting. He was a great listener. He had an amazing sense of humor. And he watched me in a way that wasn’t quite “I wanna dick you down” but wasn’t “I want to assess your vital signs” either. It made me feel protected and cosseted and cared for. Noticed.

Despite my resolution to swear off men and begin focusing on other things, I couldn’t help but want more.

Dallas looked up at me with a big smile. “Great. Same. I wanted to ask you more about your yoga classes, too.”

He grabbed a whisk and beat the eggs with quiet competence. My gaze locked on his big, strong fingers, and I shivered, remembering the night before and how he’d clasped my hand in his before he’d pressed it to his lips.

I couldn’t help wanting more of that either.

I cleared my throat. “Yes. Sure. Yoga classes. How can I help?”

“I haven’t been able to find a place here in Aster Valley that has what I want, and I thought maybe you knew of some online classes I could check out.”

My heartbeat ramped up. “I teach online classes.”

Dallas’s eyes widened. “No way. You’ll have to share a link so I can check them out.”

As he cooked breakfast, I told him about SocialAdrenaline and the content creation I did outside of my day job. He asked a ton of questions, and as soon as he moved us to the table to eat, he pulled out his phone to look it up.

“This looks amazing. I’ve heard of the app, but I didn’t realize it had yoga content.”

I told him about meeting Rocco in the content creator forum and how the forum had been invaluable for helping me launch my SocialAdrenaline platform.

“You have a bunch of followers, BJ. Could you do it full-time?” he asked. “Replace your income from the resort, I mean?”

I admitted that I’d been thinking about it but would need to run the numbers and make an actual business plan.
