CLAIRE

I stood stunned. What the hell just happened? One minute I thought Gage was going to kiss me and the next he was a totally different man. A man with demons that had been eating at him since he was a teenager. It made me wonder if his brother knew or if he felt the same guilt.

Instead of waiting for Gage to come back and clean up breakfast like he said he would, I filled the sink with water and started washing. I needed something to do besides stand where he left me wondering what I’d done wrong. It was only right since he’d made breakfast and let me stay here for the last week. I was thinking now that I could move around better it was time for me to go home and I had a feeling I’d overstayed my welcome.

With my broken arm, I wasn’t sure how much I could work with the limited mobility in my hand so I’d probably have to either find a new apartment that I could afford in an even worse part of town or find a roommate. I wasn’t too excited about either of those prospects, but it was better than being homeless. In the short amount of time I’d lived in California, I’d found living here wasn’t cheap.

“I told you I’d do that when I was done,” Gage rumbled behind me making me jump and splash soap suds all over the front of me.

Twirling around with my hand over my heart, I narrowed my eyes at him. “Give a girl some warning. You nearly gave me a heart attack.”

“Shit Claire, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

A faint grin twitched on his lips, but otherwise, he stared down at me. After a few moments, I started to feel uneasy when his eyes never moved from my t-shirt. Looking down I flushed red. With the shirt wet, it was completely see-through, and my stiff nipples were on display and showing Gage how attracted to him I was. There was no hiding it. Crossing my arms over my chest, I scowled at Gage. “I’m going to go change. After that, I think it might be best if you took me home.”

I took him in as he stood before me in only a towel. Water glistened on his glorious chest making me want to lick every last drop, but I wouldn’t. No, I needed to stay strong.

“I’m a warm-blooded male. I couldn’t help it.” He shrugged like because he was of the male species it gave him the right to look at my breasts when I had no idea I was flashing him. “I was transfixed. They’re perfect. I’ve been dreaming of them since we met, and my imagination didn’t do them justice.”

I’d never been told my boobs were perfect and to have Gage tell me definitely helped soothe my ego. I was sure even though he said he’d never had a girlfriend, he’d seen plenty of women’s breasts. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t have at least one woman a day throwing themselves at him.
