CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

I was lounging on my bed, half-heartedly reading assigned statistics material when the front door slammed.

Things had been...interesting since Sunday. I had to argue with Max about whose bed I’d be sleeping in every night, but I wasn’t ready to move into his room. That felt too fast and I definitely wouldn’t get enough sleep if we didn’t impose some limits. So right now, I was restricting us to weekend sleepovers because he had work and school, too. That didn’t mean I wouldn’t fool around, obviously. Max had been annoyed for two days, giving me his trademark puppy eyes, but I was iron woman; I just needed a titanium bustier to prove it.

Maybe for Halloween...

My door flew open. Not a big deal because it wasn’t closed tight anyway. I’d shut and lock if I was feeling antisocial. Max strode into the room, still grubby from working at the garage all afternoon. “This might sound odd, but...I want to take you out.”

“Like garbage? For an airing, maybe? Also, hey, honey, how was your day? You look all grimy and what-not. Makes me want to loofah you.”

“Is that a verb?”

“It is not. Frankly you look like you could use a sound loofah-ing. Was it a bad day?” I hopped off the bed and closed the distance between us, clutching the front of his jumpsuit to pull him in for a kiss. I’d die before admitting this, but his gray work coveralls, complete with MAX patch, were so retro they were adorable. If my ass wasn’t bigger than his, I’d steal a pair. Sometimes he just wore a work shirt and pants, but for really dirty jobs he busted these out.

“I haven’t even washed my hands yet. Can’t touch you.”

“Even hotter,” I whispered.

He smelled like he’d been working on cars in the late summer heat, but his scent was so familiar that I didn’t mind. I kissed him deeply, savoring the hint of salt on his lips. Max exhaled slowly, fingers curling into fists at his side as he resisted the urge to reach for me. I pulled back with a teasing smile.

“You’re heartless. Unless you actually plan to loofah me.”

“Is anyone else home?” It never left my mind how quickly the others could get fed up. Angus and Kia never signed on to live with a couple, and sex always complicated any dynamic.

“Yeah, Angus is in his room.” Judging by his glum tone, Max realized that shower sex dreams had to wait.

“So you want to take me out, huh. For an official first date?”

“Yeah. Is that dumb?”

“Well, no. Dating is what people do. Well, those who are dating.”

“So will you? Go out with me.”

I grinned up at him. “Technically, I already am. We do everything backward, you know? But it sounds fun. When?”

“Friday night, clear your schedule, because you’re all mine.”

“Okay. Can’t wait to see what you have planned for us.” Giving him a little shove, I followed him toward the door. “Come back when you’re clean.”

“Fine. But just so you know, I’ll be all naked, soapy and wet, thinking of you.
