Watching him like a sicko.
"What’s wrong with you?" I demanded under my breath and pushed myself away from the door, fixating on the couch. Stare at the couch, don’t look at him and his beautiful body.
My hand tightened its grip on the air horn for a very different reason. I needed something tangible to bring me to Earth.
Like the earsplitting screech of an air horn.

Adam
Don’t Shame Me In My Own Home
I woke up to a new type of hell at five in the fucking morning.
A scream so loud it split my head in two. It hit like a ton of bricks, and I shot out of bed - on the wrong side. I crashed to the floor, and the ground met my face before I could figure out what the fuck was going on. Fire alarm? Aliens?
"What the fuck?!" I shouted, scrambling up, just to stop dead in my tracks.
Blonde hair in a twisted bun met me. Not on the side of the bed—like usual—but at the door frame, standing with her back facing me. My RA. I breathed out for a second, letting all the anger evaporate in an instant. Piper was in my bedroom.
Aliens could take me.
This is a good morning.
"Hey, ice princess." I grinned. For a moment, I had to think back on the events the night before. "Wait, did we…?"
She shifted on her other leg, still refusing to look at me. "Absolutely not."
"Yeah, I figured." I stretched my arms behind my back. "If we had, you wouldn’t be walking straight."
Piper had nothing to say to that, and it was unfortunate she was turned around. I was sure she had a bright blush on her cheeks and probably furious eyes. My favorite Piper combination.
Beyond that, I would’ve known if we had sex. Last night wasn’t the easiest sleep in the world. Thanks to everything Piper said at the behavioral meeting, I’d tossed and turned for a while. She called me a jerk in front of everybody. I’d certainly been called worse, but from her…it made me feel…bad?
A new sensation.
If I had my face buried between her legs last night, I would’ve definitely slept better.
With a shrug, I walked to the doorframe. "Excuse me. You’re in my way."
Piper took a quick step over, but her jaw fell open. "Adam—you’re naked—"
"Yeah. And?" I glanced back to see Piper’s stricken face, the blush, damn delicious, and her eyes, trained to the ceiling. "Don’t shame me in my own home, Piper. That’s pretty rude. Aren’t you supposed to be a good girl?"
She sucked in a breath. "You know what’s rude, Adam—"
"I wouldn’t know. I’m a perfect gentleman." Scanning the counters, I held up a bag of bagels. "You want one?"
"Go put on clothes."
"You want to tell me what you’re doing here first?"
She sighed, squeezing her hands into fists at both sides. So damn cute. "Football practice is in an hour, and if you’re not there, Coach Lawson is going to kick you off the team."
"This is a wake-up call?"
"This is a—you need to get up—call."
