I wasn’t strong enough to resist. I was getting in that bed and I was sleeping. Nothing more. Nothing less.
She put her hand out to help me up, which was kind, but ridiculous. Unless she’d been lifting two hundred and fifty pound dead weights in her free time, she couldn’t pull me up. But I wasn’t above taking the offer just so I could feel her skin against mine.
“Dang, you’re heavy.”
“It’s all muscle.”
“I know.”
I paused, watching her. It might take her a second.
It didn’t. She realized immediately she shouldn’t have said that. Flustered, she let go of me. “Anyway. Just get in bed and stay on your side.”
I got in bed. I stayed on my side. I didn’t sleep. I stared at the ceiling. I punched my pillow. I turned on my side. I stared at the wall. I kicked the comforter off of me.
Faith sighed. “Can you stop moving so much?”
“Sorry.”
I laid still on my back, hands on my chest. I tried not to think about Faith’s body so close to mine. I tried not to picture rolling over and peeling off her T-shirt and taking her tight nipple into my mouth. I tried not to listen to her breathing. I tried not to die.
“What are you doing?”
“Lying still. I’m working really hard at it.”
“It’s painful listening to you sigh repeatedly.”
“Everything feels painful right now.”
“Did you get hurt when you fell off the couch? Is it your foot?”
“No, that’s not what I mean.”
“What do you mean?”
I tried not to breathe in her scent when she shifted, rolling toward me. She smelled like peaches.
“I mean it’s painful to be this close to you and not be allowed to touch you.”
Faith’s eyebrows shot up. “You can’t be serious.”
“I’m being serious!” I was. “I promised you I wouldn’t touch you but that doesn’t mean it isn’t slowly killing me.”
“And people say women are dramatic.” Faith propped her head on her hand and moistened her lips.
“Don’t do that,” I begged.
“Do what?” She genuinely looked bewildered.
Did she have no idea how ridiculously hot she was?
“Lick your lips. Don’t do that.”
“Oh.” She did it again.
The fuck. My dick throbbed. “Why would you do that again?” I asked, astonished.
“I don’t know. I didn’t really mean to.”
