SIXTEEN

Present Day

Everett

After falling asleep on opposite sides of the bed, I wake up the next morning curled around Skylar’s body. Her head rests on one of my arms while the other is wrapped around her waist, pulling her snug against me. Our legs are intertwined in a tangled mess as her delectable ass settles way too close to my straining erection. I wish I could blame my arousal on morning wood, but that would be a bold-faced lie.

We haven't spoken a single word to each other since Skylar told me that she hated me. I know she doesn't, but our situation would honestly be easier if she did. After last night, I’m starting to get the feeling that she’s been craving this thing between us as much as me. But I can’t allow myself to give in when I know that she’s just going to crawl back to my brother. It would only make the hell I’ve been living in even more unbearable.

This is the first time I’ve ever had the privilege of waking up next to Skylar. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined us being here right now. She looks so peaceful… a real-life sleeping beauty. If only a kiss could solve all our problems.

Her chestnut hair falls in waves around the pillows, smelling of vanilla and honey. Her body rises and falls with lazy breaths as she snoozes peacefully. I place a gentle kiss to her cheek, soft enough to not wake her, and carefully slip out of bed.

I walk towards the window when I notice a blinding glare shining through. I glide the cheap curtains open as I press my palm against the chilled glass. It’s still freezing outside but at least the sun is out, already starting to melt away some of the snow. There’s not a cloud in the sky, the view a stark contrast to yesterday’s weather. With traffic and stops, we still have at least six hours until we make it to Denver. I send up a silent prayer that today will go smoother than yesterday. It has to.

An hour later, we’re finally back on the road. After showering, I dressed in jeans and a long-sleeved gray henley before walking over to Willie’s to pick up breakfast tacos. While I was there, my weather app alerted me that the highway would be back up and running at eleven a.m. I found the bed empty when I got back to the room, but my panic was short-lived when I heard the shower running at full blast with pop music streaming along with the water. I took that as a sign that maybe Skylar was in a good mood today, but I also had to shake the image of her dancing naked in the shower from my brain.

I guess I was wrong to assume that she was in a good mood because the only two words she’s muttered since she woke up were “thank you” when I handed her a breakfast taco. She burrowed it next to her chest like a hungry squirrel and scurried over to the small sofa.
