Daniel’s eyes widened at my actions.

“What are you doing out of bed?” he asked as I walked toward him.

“Looking for you.”

His eyes roamed over me as I closed in, and I realized he hadn’t seen me completely bare either. He seemed just as interested in the sight as I was in seeing him utterly naked.

“Are you okay?” he asked, his eyes coming back to my face.

He looked concerned.

“I’m great,” I answered.

I stopped right in front of him and noticed the waistband of his pants was open and there was only bare skin visible where the button lay open.

His feet were also bare.

So, while I was out, he’d taken the time to strip down and then put his pants back on? That was weird.

“Why are you wearing pants?” I asked.

He blinked at me before lifting a hand to my cheek, then my forehead.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“I’m fine,” I insisted, my eyes still glued on the skin bared by the open waistband of his pants.

I reached toward them, intent of stripping him just as bare as I was, when he took a step back.

I looked up and saw that he was frowning at me.

“Great,” I sighed. “Is this the part where you go cold on me again?”

He blinked at me again.

“Because I’d prefer to skip that part and just stay with the hot.”

Daniel stared at me, his mouth hanging open.

Okay, so he wasn’t going to answer my question.

I saw that the bath was nearly full and brushed past him to turn off the taps. The scent of lavender drifted up from the frothy water and I noticed a container of bath salts sitting on the counter beside me.

“Need relaxing?” I asked, glancing over my shoulder at him.

Daniel’s eyes jumped from my bare ass to my face, and, for a split second, he looked…guilty at being caught ogling my naked body.

Ha. If I had any say in it, he was going to be doing a lot more than ogling very, very soon.

But he didn’t answer my question. I straightened and faced him completely, surprisingly comfortable being naked in front of him. Probably because he was staring at me as though he wanted to touch me anywhere and everywhere he could.

It was a nice ego boost.

“Are you planning on taking a bath?” I asked, rewording my question in case he just hadn’t understood what I meant.

He blinked rapidly before his gaze came back to my face. “The bath is for you,” he finally answered.

Awww. That was sweet.
