CHAPTER TWELVE

Derrek turned the corner to his apartment door just as I was starting to doze off on the floor in front of it. He grinned down at me, making a show of puffing out his chest and putting his hands on his hips.

“We’re not even inside yet and you’re already on the floor in front of me,” he said, and I could already feel the stress of my day melting in the aura of his comfortable heat. He extended an arm to help me off the ground and unlocked the door, gesturing for me to walk in ahead of him.

“We’re not even inside yet and you’re already trying to get a good look at my ass,” I retorted.

He rolled his eyes as he gave me a playful pat, pushing me forward faster.

“How was the track?” I asked as I tossed my things to the side. I turned to find Derrek peeling off his coat with a slight twist to his mouth, and he looked at me with a quiet thoughtfulness.

“Oh my god, again?” I said. “Talking about driving isn’t going to trigger an attack.”

The twist to his lips melted into a tiny pout.

“I’m sorry,” he mouthed. He threw his coat down on top of my things and snaked an arm around me, pulling me close to him for a kiss.

“Honestly, it sucked,” he said, pausing on our way to the couch so he could adjust the thermostat.

The apartment was freezing, and it seemed like he never left the heat on if he wasn’t home. I guessed it was because he was never really there. I loosed his grip and walked into the kitchen, busying myself with some water and an electric kettle on the counter to make some tea.

“Uh huuuuuh,” I said, slow and drawn out so he’d explain his day.

“My head just wasn’t in it. I did a few laps to beat my own times and then made up some excuse about the car feeling off. The crew took a look at things immediately. I feel a little bad about lying, but it gave me the time I needed. I left to walk around the building for a while to clear my head,” he finished.

Derrek joined me in the kitchen, reaching into cupboards for mugs and tea bags. He produced them from the cupboard one at a time, and I knew he could see me watching his shirt rise and fall just enough to show off a hint of his muscular frame. I’d never get tired of it. When the kettle came to a boil, he snuck up to hug me again from behind, one hand pulling a mug across the counter toward us.

Goosebumps flashed across what felt like the entire surface of my skin, and I closed my eyes when I felt Derrek’s lips brush softly against the back of my neck. He wasn’t shy about being physically forward, but it was a lot to get used to.

“I’d say you should have called, but my afternoon at work got so busy,” I said, dropping a tea bag and pouring some water into Derrek’s mug.
