Excerpt
I force myself to look away because . . .
well, because he’s a stranger. In my house. Naked. And oh my God, something is
wrong with me, because I’m not running and calling 911 like I should.
When his chuckle subsides, he brings
his head back down, so I can see the tears in his eyes from laughter. “That thing
is my cock, and since this is my bathroom and you seem to be attempting
to seduce me in my house, I don’t think you have any right to tell me
what to do.” And with that, he leans a hip against the counter and folds his
arms across his chest, eyes locked on mine and one eyebrow lifted. Everything
else is left hanging out there in the wind.
“Your house? Seduce you?” At that
point I realize I’m sputtering and shaking my head. “This is my house. You’re
in my house.”
Confusion drifts across his face and
his jaw falls lax. “Hold up.” He lifts his hands in the hold on a minute
position, drawing my eyes back to where they don’t want to be. If this whole
situation weren’t so unbelievable, it would be comical, and yet as true as that
is, I don’t seem to be laughing at all. “I think there seems to be some
misunderstanding.”
“No shit.” Sarcasm is my fallback and it
doesn’t disappoint me now. A lot of good it does me, though, as I’m still doing
the naked dance while trying to react to this surreal situation.
The look of disdain he gives me at
my comment earns him no points in my book. “While I’m digging the socks with
your outfit,” he says with a smirk, eyes veering down and then back up to my
strategically placed hands, “you should cover up.” I catch the towel he tosses
me and immediately wrap it around myself. I’m certain my mismatching knee-high
socks make a statement about me, but I’m beyond caring, because I’m still alone
in my house with a strange man and have no answers as to how this has happened.
With one hand clutching onto the
towel at my collarbone, I use the other to motion to him. “You too.”
A lightning flash of a grin glances
across his lips. “Sorry, but you just took the only towel left.”
