“I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”

“You didn’t,” she answers from the behind the door. The room grows silent. I hate it.

I straighten the bed and walk to the kitchen for something to drink. I scan the refrigerator, scratching my head. “Water, wine, and beer.”

“Sounds like a country song.” I pop my head up to find her standing behind the door.

“It does.” I chuckle.

She tiptoes, looking over the door. Pointing, she says, “Water.”

I grab two, shutting the door to find her in my shirt from tonight. I have to be honest, it happens all the time but the pull in my gut isn’t there because it has happened. It’s the person in it, and that scares me.

“Here ya go.”

She takes the bottle from my outreached hand. “Thank you.” She twists the top as I begin to chug mine. “Hope you don’t mind, but I figure I’m not the first to borrow it.” She tugs at my shirt and I choke on my water, spewing it on her.

“Fuck.” I start rubbing her dry.

“I’m sorry.” She sets her water down and yanks the shirt over her head. “If you didn’t want me to wear it, you could’ve just said so.” She tosses it in my face.

“I didn’t…” I catch it just in time to watch that fabulous ass sashaying away. “Where ya goin’?”

She looks over her shoulder. “Find my clothes.”

“Why do you want to do that for?” I jog after her.

“Because I need them.” I turn the corner just as she bends over.

“Why?” I rub the back of my neck as my cock stirs. It’s truly disturbing me the effect she has on me. I can’t help it, I want her to stay.

She turns her head toward me. “I don’t plan on being naked outside.”

“Well then, stay and be naked inside with me.”

She giggles as she pulls her panties on. “I thought this was a hit and run?”

“Huh?”

She spins with her shirt in her hands. “I thought I was supposed to leave after.”

My stomach turns. “I never said that, did I?”

“No, but I…” She bites her lip and I think about climbing the walls to get to her.

I shake my head as I walk over to her. I tug at her shirt until she releases it. “The only butt I want to discuss is yours.”

“What about it?” She flushes.

I tuck my fingers into the front of her panties, tugging her to me. Sliding my hands around, I grab her ass with both hands. “It’s a mighty fine ass.”

“Mine?” She twists as if she’s trying to check it out. “Are you sure?”

I give it a good squeeze, appreciating it the way it should be. “Damn straight.”

“Are you asking me to stay?” She quirks her brow, walking back to the bed.

“Game on, baby.”
