I sighed. “I almost didn’t put it on.”
He huffed. “Like that would be better.”
“No, I mean, I almost got dressed before I came out of my room, but you weren’t here and….”
“Don’t do that.”
I frowned. “Get dressed?”
“Don’t censor any of your actions around me. You’re free to be yourself here. I don’t want you to ever feel confined the way you did before. This place is your home while you’re here. I can handle myself.”
“Can you?” Fuck, why did I ask that?
Worth smiled. “We’ll see, won’t we?”
“What are you wearing tonight?” I asked.
“Do you want to choose an outfit for me?”
“I suppose that would be fair since you chose for me.”
He shook his head. “I made a suggestion.”
“You made a command.”
“If you’d rather wear something else, choose whatever makes you feel good.”
I smiled to let him know I was only teasing. “I feel amazing in the outfit you picked out.”
“Good. Come on, I’ll show you all my options, and you can make a selection.”
Knowing it was a terrible idea, I followed Worth to his bedroom. The moment I saw his bed, thoughts flashed through my mind that were only appropriate if we were about to fuck. And we weren’t. We definitely weren’t. “Maybe I shouldn’t….”
Worth ignored me. He slid open the mirrored doors of the closet, and I gaped. “That’s what you brought on vacation? You have more clothes here than I’ve ever owned at once.”
“I like to have options, and I did a little more shopping today.”
“Do you just wear pieces once then get rid of them?”
“Not my favorites.”
I looked through the clothes, trying to concentrate on them and not on the gorgeous man behind me. I selected a lavender shirt and a gray suit and held them out to him.
He smiled. “Like I said earlier, you have excellent taste.”
“You really think so?”
“I do.”
His compliment made me feel warm all over. He took fashion very seriously, so I knew he wouldn’t say that if he didn’t mean it. It had been a long time since I’d been allowed to choose what I wanted to wear, but I wasn’t resentful that Worth had chosen for me tonight. I’d been able to select a whole wardrobe while we were shopping. He’d guided me, but he’d never insisted. I loved the idea that he wanted to see me in the outfit he thought I looked best in, even if I wasn’t supposed to be seducing him.
Dammit, why couldn’t Beck understand I could make my own decisions and my own mistakes.
Because if Worth was a mistake—and I had to remind myself that chances were he would be—I still wanted more. I considered calling Beck, but I couldn’t call him and talk to him about how much I wanted to have sex with his brother. That would be weird. We’d texted back and forth throughout the day. I’d told him how beautiful it was here and how much I was enjoying the pool and the beach. That was enough. He’d been such a good friend, I should just do what he said.
Except I was tired of doing what other people told me to. I wanted to do what I wanted, and I wanted Worth.
I realized I’d just been standing by Worth’s closet, lost in my thoughts. “I guess I should go and leave you to get ready.”
