Things between Ant and I haven’t been the same since our conversation in the truck a week ago. I mean, everything is pretty much as it was, but now everything feels a bit... well, more than it did.

When we used to snuggle, even though deep down I knew I wanted it to mean something, I had convinced myself it didn’t. Now I know it does. When he would hug me or drop his arm over my shoulder, I would tell myself it was just Ant being Ant. Now I know it’s because he wants to hold me as much as I want him to. Every touch feels purposeful now, like it means so much more than it did just seven days ago.

And while we have yet to really discuss what we talked about in the truck in any great detail beyond that night, there seems to be an understanding that exists between us. Like we both know we want the same thing, and he’s giving me the time and space to do it my way.

“Hey, Bree.” I jump when Ant appears in the doorway of my bedroom, my eyes instantly drawn to his bare torso.

“I really wish you would put on some clothes when you’re walking around the house,” I say seriously, but I know my smile tells him the truth behind my statement.

It’s hard for me to keep my thoughts straight when I’m forced to look at his sexy as sin body every time I turn around.

“Now why would I do that?” He grins knowingly, crossing his arms over his chest as he leans against the door frame.

“You’re impossible.” I shake my head, turning my attention back to the pile of laundry on my bed.

“The same can be said for you.” I can feel him walking toward me, but I continue to sort through the clean clothes rather than look at him. “Walking around in these little things all the time.” He stops directly behind me and gently trails his hand up my outer thigh, gesturing to my fitted shorts.

I swear to God my entire body explodes in a wave of heat, and I have to physically force myself to keep breathing and not give into the sudden desire that has settled deep in my belly.

“How do you think that makes me feel?” He stops on my hip bone, giving it a firm squeeze, his breath hot on the back of my neck.

“I think I can use my imagination,” I say, well aware of how breathy my voice suddenly sounds.

I’m seconds away from turning in his arms and giving into the sexual tension that’s been building between us at an unstoppable rate for days, but quickly snap out of my lust-induced fog when the doorbell rings unexpectedly.

I jump, startled by the sound, and immediately sidestep out of Ant’s towering presence, thankful for the reprieve. The more time that passes, the less I trust myself around him. And that is not a good thing.

“I wonder who that could be.” I toss the towel in my hand on the bed and quickly exit the room, Ant following a few feet behind.
