He gave my ass a light smack. “Not yet. You’re joining me in the shower first.”

“I thought you already showered.”

“Nope.”

He carried me into the steam filled bathroom and lowered me to the ground. Gripping the hem of Kaden’s oversized t-shirt that I was wearing, he pulled it over my head and dropped it to the floor.

A deep yearning glowed behind his eyes as he took in my naked body. With his hand on my hip he turned me and hugged me from behind. He buried his face in the crease of my neck and I chuckled, feeling him tickle me.

We slipped underneath the warm stream of water and I turned around in his arms. His hands cupped my face before he pressed his lips to mine and I smiled into the kiss. My arms snaked around his neck and he pulled me closer, eliminating the space between us.

Reluctantly, I broke the kiss, blinking rapidly with the water droplets on my eyelashes. “You said shower, Professor Hale,” I playfully narrowed my eyes and reached for his shampoo bottle.

I squeezed some on my hand and he swung a sturdy arm around me, lifting me off the ground. My legs wrapped around his waist and I smiled, lathering up both hands before running them through his hair.

After our shower, he carried me back to his bed, lowering me steadily. I held my towel tightly to my chest and he found himself on top of me.

Affectionately, he brushed a damp strand of hair out of my face and tucked it behind my ear. When our gazes met, it felt…different. Something heavy hung between us, and my silly heart was fluttering in my chest.

“What?” I smiled, breaking the tension filled silence.

His soft gaze felt like a gentle touch. “You’re the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on,” his tender voice drifted into my ears and goosebumps rose on my skin.

A deep blush must have coated my cheeks because my face heated up instantly and he smiled, almost as though he was amused.

“And I love how a simple compliment turns your cheeks pink,” he added, and suddenly I was feeling brave.

My arms wrapped around his neck. “And what else?” I playfully pressed.

It didn’t take him long to answer, amusement lingering behind his eyes. “I love the way your eyes glisten every timeyou’re talking about the things you love,” his thumb brushed over my cheekbone. “I love how perfect you are for us.”

His hand shifted, and he slowly brushed his thumb across my lips. “And most importantly…” he trailed off. “I loveyou.”

My smile wavered, sincerity lighting up his soft hazel eyes.He loves me…

Slightly, my lips parted to speak but he stole a tender kiss, his soft lips making my body melt into the mattress. My hands lifted to hold the sides of his face, as our tongues found a sensual rhythm.

My lips slipped from his and I trailed soft kisses up his jaw, stopping at his ear. “And I love you,” I whispered, a bashful smile tugging at my lips.

Without wasting a second he gripped my hips, flipping us over and my yelp emitted into the room before I chuckled. Straddling his lap I rested my palms flat on his chest for stability, but my heart melted at the doting smile on his lips—a subtle twinkle in his eyes.

Leaning down, I pecked his lips.

“Again,” he kept his eyes on my lips and I smiled, giving him a chaste kiss. “Again,” he breathed and I chuckled, watching him mirror my smile.

I kissed him longer, and with so much passion that my body burned for him. His strong arms enclosed me, and I couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else but here. Withhim.

My chest pressed to his and I could feel each beat of his heart against mine. Our heartbeats aligned, thumping rhythmically.

My cell phone vibrated somewhere in the room but we ignored it, twice, until the person called for a third time.

With a groan I climbed off his lap, scanning my eyes around the floor.

Noticing the device peaking out of my pocket, I mindlessly reached down to grab it and headed back over to Logan.

I sat down before bolting back up. “It’s my mom!” I gasped before answering the call. “Hi, Mommy,” I smiled, and she spoke with concern but cut herself off.

“Sweetheart, what did you do?”she questioned in suspicion as I caught my breath.
