Vance

My head pounded as I came to, and I wondered if it might just explode. Had I hit it on something? Was this an aneurysm?

Whatever it was, the idea of fully waking up seemed like a horrible idea. I could only imagine this would get worse.

Something moved beside me, making me laugh.

A woman by my side would make even a headache like this not seem so bad, after all.

I swallowed, my throat dry, and the taste of stale alcohol explained the pounding in my head.

It’d been a long time since I’d overindulged like that. A few drinks? Sure. I enjoyed dulling my senses just a bit, the nice relaxation that happened when I could let things go and not worry so much. Blackout drunk, though, was something I’d put behind me a long time ago.

I opened my eyes, curious to see whatever girl I’d brought him with me.

And boy did I not expect to see a certain brown-haired girl beside me.

Kenz slept, her eyes closed, her lips pulled into a half-smile even in her sleep. Just seeing her like that made my chest tighten.

Had I slept with her?

While I couldn’t deny I sure wanted to, the idea that I actually had struck me as weird. She wasn’t the type to give in like that. I never figured I’d have a shot, yet somehow, she was in the bed beside me.

Then I noted that she was dressed fully.

Weird.

If I did get her into bed with me, I knew I wouldn’t be satisfied with some quickie where we kept most of our clothes on. No, I’d want to strip her down fully, to see every inch of her pretty body, to make sure I remembered it all.

So had we not slept together?

The night before remained fuzzy, but little bits flashed through my head. The interview, the liquor, dropping the bottle.

Right, she’d come to check on me, to bring me food.

Sweet girl.

Most of the night remained a mystery, and the idea of waking her up right now to continue hit me hard. If she was half asleep, could I convince her? Maybe she was a morning person, because my cock certainly was.

I shifted, ready to press my lips to her throat, to tease her until she woke panting and desperate, when I froze.

On the nightstand sat my gloves, the familiar black fabric resting there as if they were important.

They were.

I jerked my hand up, my right one, and to my horror, it was bare.

Exposed and mangled and ugly.

A soft groan came from the sleeping girl just before those dark eyes of hers opened. She looked at my face, then at my hand which still was there.

No shock registered in her expression, and that made my heart plummet.

It meant she’d already seen it the night before. Any chance I had to lie, to hide it, they were gone.

After how hard I’d worked to keep it to myself, I’d gone and gotten drunk and shown her the part of myself I’d wanted no one to see.
