Chapter Fifteen

Julie combed through her wet hair and, when deciding on pjs, slipped into the silky nightie. Before she’d wondered if she could pull it off, but something amazing had happened down in the kitchen.

For the first time in a very long time, she’d felt sexy.

Having Gavin kiss her as if she were the oxygen to his hydrogen ignited a side of her she’d gotten only a peek of before. Her heart beat faster as she recalled the swipe of his thumb on her lower lip. Of his demanding lips and tongue. With him, she didn’t doubt every single movement or every tiny noise she made.

Her entire body went molten at how he’d handled her so easily, even with one arm literally tied to his chest.

At the knock on the door, she placed her palms on her flaming cheeks. If it was Darlene or Niki, she could play off the flush as being from her heated shower instead of from reliving the way Gavin’s groan had vibrated through her and jump-started her brazen side.

She cracked open the door and fired a grin at the guy she’d just been having deliciously dirty thoughts about. “Hey.”

His eyes didn’t quite meet hers before his chin dipped, and her stomach completed a similar move, nosediving all the way to the floor. “Can I come in?”

“Of course.”

Without bothering to push the door open farther, he slipped inside. Her anxieties flared, and she reached up and twisted a strand of her hair around her finger.

He sat on the futon she’d pushed into couch form, in case anyone else needed to use the room during the day. On instinct, she wrapped her arms around herself, afraid she might need to hold herself together for whatever happened next.

While the antsy sensation filling her top to bottom protested the idea of sitting, standing over Gavin as he studiously studied the carpet wasn’t going to calm her worries. If his stiff silence was any indication, she was going to need to be seated for whatever he was about to tell her.

With her heart in her throat, she sat down next to him. What if I thought the kiss was fire, but he didn’t feel the same blaze?

If I can’t incite desire with a kiss that steamy, how am I ever going to be exciting enough in bed?

The realization she wouldn’t be finding out with Gavin slammed into her, and while she’d previously shaken off any idea of crossing lines with him, wicked attraction vibes or not, a hollow ache opened in her chest.

Gavin exhaled, and she closed her eyes, doing her best to steel herself.

“Good to see you took my advice about not wearing pants with”—he made a vague gesture in her direction—“whatever that sexy slip thing is.”

“A nightie. Some people call them teddies or baby dolls, which seems weird. What is it with lingerie having names that sound like little kid toys?”

Gavin huffed a laugh, the surprised sound leading her to believe she’d caught him off guard with her rambling, and at long last, his eyes met hers.
