“I work out every day.”
I remembered to close my mouth. “Where? At the local gym?”
If he did, I needed to join.
“In my house. I turned the bedroom on the first floor into a gym.”
“Nice. You look great. Maybe I need to cut back on the breakfast burritos. I thought running would slim down my ass and thighs. It hasn’t worked yet.”
His eyebrows rose. “They look perfect. I don’t think you need to touch up your body at all.”
“Thanks. That’s sweet but, you can’t see what’s under these jeans. My shapely jeans are holding me in place.” I smiled.
“I saw your… You know never mind.”
“Aiden, you saw what?” I met his awkward gaze.
“You ran to the curb in a short robe one morning when I was leaving for work. I saw… everything.”
Leaning my elbow on the counter, I tented my hand over my brow shielding my eyes. I caught a glimpse of his hardening cock through his camouflage pants. He quickly slid on his shirt in an effort to cover up the bulge. I squeezed my thick thighs together. Shit, I want this man.
“You enjoy your breakfast. I’ll hop in the shower.”
“Wait, did you see anyone in the woods last night?”
“No. After my shower we can view the surveillance footage.”
“Ok.” I smirked. “Thanks again for breakfast. It’s delicious.”
“You’re welcome,” he growled over his shoulder, stalking toward the bedroom.
Great, Mr. Grizzly was in another funk. I guess since he chose to be single, he wasn’t supposed to be attracted to me. I don’t think he was happy with himself for the way his cock tented his pants when he talked about my body. I smiled on the inside.
Shit, if he didn’t know before, he knew now I was attracted to him. I basically begged him to sleep with me last night. How embarrassing. The real reason I didn’t want Aiden in my home was because I knew I couldn’t trust myself around his rock-hard body.
Fuck, after seeing his rippling muscles… I licked my lips. Wanting him bad was an understatement. He needed a good strong woman in his life who could prove to him she’d love him no matter what. And stand at his side. Not sure he’d let a woman in.
The trees stood still in the summer heat. I scanned the wooded area from the wooden porch steps. Turning my face to the sky, I smiled as the sun heated my brown skin.
“What the fuck are you doing?”
My eyes popped open landing on Aiden. His broad frame blocked the sun. His dripping wet hair dangled in his face. Those dark green eyes burned through me.
“I wanted to feel the sun on my skin.”
His big strong arm scooped me up and whisked me inside the cabin. My body shook against his huge frame. He kicked the door shut. Aiden placed me on my feet.
My heart vibrated in my chest.
“What were you thinking?” he roared.
“You said you didn’t see anyone in the woods so I thought it was safe.”
He stepped closer, towering over me. “It’s obvious you weren’t thinking. My job is to protect you. I can’t do that if you don’t listen.” Worry washed over his face and his chest heaved.
I placed my hand on his cheek. “Aiden, I am ok.”
He was like a raging bull ready to plow through anyone who got in his way.
