My chest skips twice.
His hands on my waist.
His hardness pressed between us.
So,
you’ll be dirty…
but happy.
I shake the memory away as he bounds in that direction. “You sure you know what you’re doing?” I ask.
Oliver kneels on the tile and looks beneath the sink. “Yup,” he answers.
I linger in the doorway, letting my eyes wander down his tight rear. “Are you sure sure?”
He lays backward, sliding his head and shoulders beneath the sink to target the leak. “Yes, Paige,” he says, amused. “I’m sure.”
“Because we’re not supposed to fix things ourselves.”
“You’re telling me Graham never fixed a leaky pipe?” he asks, his head out of sight as he... does something beneath there.
“Nope,” I say. “We always left it to maintenance.”
“That was then.” Oliver gives... something a turn. “This is now.”
“But—”
“Paige.” Another few taps and twists. “I used to work on the maintenance staff, you know.”
I bite the edge of my lip. “You did?”
“Yes. I installed dozens of these things myself in Vegas. Relax.”
I bite the edge of my lip as I picture it. Oliver in one of their navy blue jumpsuits with the sleeves rolled up and sweat on his young brow…
Gotta love a handy man.
“Oh,” I say, letting my shoulders drop a little. “Well, if you’re sure you can fix it...”
“I am.” Oliver extends a hand. “Got a rag?”
I bolt forward, quickly grabbing a hand towel off the top of the sink and handing it to him.
“Thanks,” he says, disappearing again.
I stand back out of the way to let him work. My eyes drift down his long legs, admiring his shiny shoes before traveling all the way back up again to his...crotch.
I forcibly twist in another direction. Friends, I remind myself.
Friends don’t check out each other’s junk.
“So,” I say, clearing my throat, “how are you liking the book so far?”
Oliver laughs.
I stiffen as I wait for a more detailed response.
