Less than twenty-four hours later, it was time to leave for the reunion. James came out of the bathroom and my mouth literally dropped open.

The invitation said the event would be casual. He wore close-fitting dark jeans and a tailored gray-green button-down with the sleeves rolled up. His one nod to the holiday theme was a deep red bow tie with a silver snowflake pattern. Dark boots and a thick black belt completed the outfit.

His shiny hair was down, with a level of volume I could only accomplish with hot rollers, hairspray, and the exact right amount of humidity. He’d also taken the time to trim his facial hair. It was closer to his skin now, more like long stubble than an actual beard.

I shook my head at the way my blood heated, forcing my reaction to the back burner. In this moment, we needed to keep our minds on the big, scary thing he needed to do.

But it was difficult to stay focused when the memory of his erection poking against me this morning remained fresh in my mind. Not to mention it had been the best night of sleep I’d had in years, cocooned in his massive arms. Combine that with how gorgeous he was. I was only human.

His biceps flexed as he ran a hand along his jawline, the strong sinews of his forearms standing out like ropes. I’d felt those arms while they’d held me as a friend. What would they feel like if we were more?

“Did I do okay?” he asked, holding his arms out at his sides.

“Yeah, you look good.”

His whole look was a vibe. A hot, big, pick-you-up-and- throw-you-around-while-still-being-a-giant-teddy-bear vibe.

“You sure? I mean, I feel like this belt is kinda tight. Do you think it makes my stomach hang over my pants too much?”

Except that. Him feeling self-conscious. That was not a vibe. James’s lack of confidence in his body wasn’t something I could solve for him in ten minutes. But at least I could leave him with no doubts about where I stood on the matter. And maybe it would help him face his classmates.

“James, your pants are fantastic. Real talk, they make your butt look amazing. And that little extra padding you’re so worried about—don’t be. You look strong and capable and sexy. No one cares if you have a dad bod. You’re very on-trend.”

He scoffed but relaxed a little.

“Thanks for saying that. You look fantastic yourself. I don’t think I’ve seen you in heels before.”

I looked down at my feet, encased in three-inch black stilettos. “Fun fact about me—these are my only pair. So take a mental picture because you probably won’t see them again.” I
