We watched a rom-com and ate popcorn. We opted to stay away from ice cream, deciding to leave that for the next time instead. When I was ready to go to bed, Cam followed me into my bedroom. He promised to sit with me until I fell asleep and then go out to my living room and sleep on the couch. Therefore, I was a little surprised when the light of day filtered through the curtains and there was a shirtless man in my bed next to me.

The warmth of his body pressed against mine, even though I wasn’t even facing in his direction. When I shifted my weight, his arm and leg draped across me and pinned me in place. “Hey, Cam?”

“Mhmm.” He pulled me into him and cuddled closer to me, if that was even possible.

“Cam!” I had to raise my voice to get him to wake up.

It worked. He bolted upright. I turned over to face him. He rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hands, and his day-old stubble covered his jawline.

“You startled me.”

I heard his words, but I was looking at the six-pack ripple of abs staring right at me.

“I’m sorry. You kind of had me pinned. I couldn’t move.” I no longer wanted to move, actually. I couldn’t remember why I wanted him to move away from me, either. I was pretty sure I liked having this beautiful man in my bed. I was also pretty sure he had slept in many other women’s beds before mine. It was probably a habit; his motions were just automatic.

My happiness faded, which was most likely apparent to Cam. “Why do you suddenly look sad, Butterfly?” He was fully awake now. “I’m sorry about not moving to the couch last night. I must’ve fallen asleep.”

He must have thought I was upset that he’d slept in my bed, given his explanation. I guess he didn’t realize that I’d found myself upset that he had slept in so many other beds.

With a brush of his fingers across my temple, I instinctively pulled away. “Seriously, Lex, what’s up?”

I rolled out of bed and began my walk toward the bathroom. Cam’s feet hit the ground behind me, and he fell into step as I walked. I swiftly whirled around to address his close presence. “Cam, I’m going to the bathroom. I don’t want you following me.”

He really didn’t deserve the cold shoulder I was giving him, but I needed a second to breathe again. So I splashed water on my face and brushed my teeth. When I felt ready to confront him again, I stepped back into my bedroom, but he wasn’t there. I walked the few steps toward my living room when I saw his broad shoulders covered in a T-shirt and his back to me.

“I’m sorry I snapped at you this morning.”

He held his position for a beat before turning around to respond to my comment. His dark hair was tousled, and I swear, he totally rocked the just-rolled-out-of-bed look.
