Landon had his eyebrow raised when I looked up at him. “Never fear, your advisor is here.”
I laughed at the rhyme. “I’m glad you are.”
“Anyway, since you’re doing such a good job on your assignments today, I’m to tell you that you should put it on before your instructors get back.”
Something belatedly dawned on me. “You went in my room?”
He chuckled. “They’ve spent the last day pawing at you, yet I’m in trouble for opening an unlocked door? Please forgive my extreme boundary crossing.”
His voice was almost as sarcastic as Asher’s sometimes got. But I loved hearing him tease me after he’d seemed extra down the last few days.
“Yeah, good point. Do you need help here before I go?”
Kai didn’t seem to be around, and while Landon wasn’t exactly slammed, I figured he might need a break at some point.
“Do you know much about mixing drinks?” Landon asked.
“Not especially,” I said. Before coming here, I’d rarely had time to drink. “Aren’t there two that if you mix them, it creates a poisonous gas?”
Landon grinned. “I’m pretty sure that’s certain cleaning products, not liquors. Anyway, I’ve got this. You go change. Can’t wait to see you in that getup.”
I raised my eyebrows at that. He’d be there? Last night he’d stared at the fire like he was trying to memorize it. Was he actually going to watch us tonight?
He shrugged, as if I’d actually asked him the question. “As an advisor, I need to stay on top of things.”
Mmm. I wished he were on top of me.
That was my thought as Iheaded back to the hideaway on slightly shaking legs, wondering what was in store for me tonight.
I was excited. Beyond that, I felt more confident since Landon seemed less opposed to my lessons than he was yesterday.
And truth be told, I probably could use an advisor. Who else was I going to talk to about this stuff? I couldn’t very well call my sister or Mia and say, I’m about to lose my virginity to one or more hot men, so what should I wear? That was ridiculous. Plus, it didn’t escape my notice that those two younger women were both much more experienced with the opposite sex than I was.
But I had a feeling that wouldn’t be true by the end of my internship.
When I got backto my room, I found a white button-down shirt laid out on my bed.
It was a men’s dress shirt.Thatwas what Landon thought was one of the hottest things a woman could wear?
I picked it up, feeling the crisp cotton between my fingers. It was probably Asher’s, because while it would still be big on me, it didn’t seem quite large enough for the twins’ broader frames.
I stripped off my work clothes and stood there in justmy black lace bra, debating. What was I supposed to wear underneath? Surely not nothing. But maybe that was the point?
In the end, I kept the bra on. It was reasonably pretty although not actually lingerie. As for panties, I hadn’t worn any all day and I’d been fine. And the shirt was long enough to cover the tops of my thighs.
I slipped the shirt on and buttoned it up. The sleeves hung past my fingertips until I rolled them up to my elbows. I kept my hair down, as I had all day, but ran my fingers through it, giving the waves that fell over my shoulders a little body.
When I looked in the mirror, I had to admit—Landon was right. There was something about the oversized shirt open at the neck, the bare legs, the tousled hair. I felt sexy in a way I hadn’t expected. Soft and feminine and... wanted.
Then I heard voices in the common area, low and masculine. My heart pounded as I took a deep breath.
Time for lesson two.
I padded out of my room, my feet bare against the cold floor. But I grabbed something at the last second, clutching it in my hand like a lifeline.
All three men looked up when I entered the sitting area.
And all three looked me up and down from head to toe.
