Chapter 10 – Come To Bed

Tiara

The following night, Tara had just brushed her teeth, packed her hair into a hair bonnet and changed into her PJ set of lace trim satin camisole and polka dot pants when she heard the knock on the door.

Her heart bounced up and down.

Last night, she had gone over to Hunter’s room. In all honesty, it had been the best move she had ever made with any guy. She had an amazing time with him. It had been such a treat to see another side of his personality. Snuggling on the couch with him, she had watched him lose the harsh intensity about him along with the sharp edge to his tone.

The knock sounded again, louder this time.

Tearing off the hair bonnet, she fluffed her hair with both hands as she wondered if it was Hunter at the door. Sighing at her I-just-rolled-out-of-bed hairstyle, she shrugged.

“Wait, it can’t be Hunter, right?”

Breathing fast, she checked her face in the mirror. Too late. She had already washed off her makeup. Still, she applied lip gloss, just in case it was her boyfriend making a stop. That was the same move she made to his room yesterday evening without an invitation. Giving her room a once over, she grabbed her bra and top and shoved the items into the closet. Working quickly, she shuffled the pillows on the couch and, straightened her shoes by the armchair.

Glaring at her night time outfit, she deserted the thought of changing into different clothes. That would cause needless delay, so she dragged in a long breath, exhaled gradually before she worked up the courage to ask.

“Who’s it?”

“For a moment there, I thought you were fast asleep at ten, Ti.”

Her pulse screeched, hurray as her stomach tensed with anticipation. She pulled back the latch and unlocked the rustic wooden door. Leaning against the gigantic wooden frame after she opened it, she curved her mouth into a smile and fluttered her lashes.

“Hey handsome, what a pleasant surprise!”

“Can I come in?”

“Of course.”

Standing back to let him in, high-level warmth squirted to her nipples. She had hoped he would drop by after dinner. When the clock struck five past ten, she gave up. The thought of going over to his room occurred to her but she did not want to seem needy, or easy. Her fear of rejection was real.

“Were you expecting me?” He leaned one hand on the wooden beam surrounding the TV and did a quick scan with his eyes.

“Maybe.” Sloping her head, she smiled.

The corners of his mouth turned up sluggishly and his eyes zeroed in on hers. She blinked and went to stand by the coffee maker, hoping her heart would stop flickering. In her black and pink PJs, she felt exposed. Her arms were on show. Would he think they were chunky? What about her thighs? Like other guys, would he think they were as thick as tree trunks and streaked with too many stretch marks?

“Want coffee, Hunter?”

“Come here, Ti. I came to chat.
