MY EYES FEEL PUFFY and I’ve got a mild headache. Trying to remember what happened last night, I let out a groan of absolute humiliation when I realize that I cried on Exton for a ridiculous amount of time before falling asleep.

“Good morning¸ Beautiful.”

Holy hell, he’s still here. Wow. I wasn’t sure he would be. Not that I care either way. Not at all.

“Ugh,” I mumble with my eyes still squeezed shut. “I’m so sorry about last—”

“Don’t you even think about apologizing for anything. It was a good thing that you got it out of your system and now we’re moving forward.”

Covering my face with my arm, I let out a groan. “Easy for you to say considering that you aren’t the one that cried a river on someone you barely know. I can’t believe you didn’t leave—”

“Stop that shit right now,” he commands. I startle as he touches my arm and gently lifts it from over my face. “Look at me, Arden.”

Opening both eyes, I blink a few times before I focus on him standing right next to the bed—shirtless. Holy shit he looks even better out of his shirt than he looked in it.

“First of all, I’m not a stranger so don’t even say that shit again. Second, I think it’s pretty fucking great that you felt comfortable enough in front of me to let your guard down and get that shit out. You fight it every step of the way but deep down you fucking know what this is and the fact that you let go last night backs up me saying that. Instead of obsessing about it and thinking that it was a bad thing—let it go.”

I can’t help that I’m gaping at him. “Um, okay.”

Nodding his approval, he smiles. “Now that we got that settled, get your sexy ass up and go brush your teeth so that I can kiss you good morning and we can start the day right.”

Exton Alexander turns my brain to mush, pure and simple. Getting up from the bed I head into my bathroom to take care of business and brush my teeth.

When I finally get to my toothbrush, I notice that it’s already wet. Opening the bathroom door I stick my head into my bedroom where I find him making my bed and he’s still shirtless. I lose my train of thought for a second, but him staring at me inquisitively brings it back. “Why’s my toothbrush wet? Please tell me you didn’t drop it in the toilet,” I joke.

The sexy smirk he gives me makes my pulse spike. “I used it,” he says matter-of-factly.

“Well alrighty then,” I reply as I shut the door. After staring down at the toothbrush for a few seconds, I put some toothpaste on it and slide it into my mouth. I don’t know why but for whatever reason, sharing a toothbrush with him feels really intimate. I haven’t slept in a bed with a man since Ricky—and let’s face it, he was no man.
