Her eyes flutter open. It takes everything I've got not to climb in there with her.
Her gorgeous mismatched eyes are sleepy as she wakes.
She smiles, confused. "I fell asleep, didn't I?" Her voice is soft and incredibly sexy as she speaks.
"J said you had a habit of falling asleep in the shower. I knocked but you didn't answer," I tell her and she nods.
"Thanks, Mav," she murmurs.
Hearing her get my name right does two things to me. One, fills me with pain. Two, it makes me want to kiss the fuck out of her.
She must see it because she lifts her arm out of the water, careful not to disturb the bubbles. Her fingers brush my cheek and I wordlessly lean into her hand. She smiles gently, her fingers run up my jaw along my stubble.
I slowly reach up and grasp her hand, pressing a kiss on the inside of her palm.
"Don't fall asleep again." My voice rumbles quietly and I stand.
The emotion that rises in her eyes when I speak almost has me stopping but I force myself to walk out, gently closing the door behind me. Fuck, she's dangerous.
I stop against the wall to calm myself before having to walk into a room full of my brothers. That thought helps. Slightly.
"She fell asleep, didn't she?" Jace says, knowingly as I enter the kitchen.
"Yeah," I chuckle. He shakes his head.
"Did you at least try not to look?" Mase says, grinning. He knows me too well for that shit.
"She was in the bath. The bubbles covered everything." I scowl, disappointed by that. It's probably a good thing—she's not ready for any of us to go that far yet.
Alec shakes his head at me. "You want to try not scaring her off?" He says, dryly.
"Dude, if we haven't yet, we won't," Mason says exactly what I was thinking.
"Alec's right." Luc sighs. "For this to work, none of us can go to far. We're testing the waters, not rocking the boat."
Huh?
"Says the one who's kissed her," I retort.
"Which is why I'm saying she needs to get to know all of us. If we want to put Alec's plan in action we need to make it clear to her that being with all of us is okay. Not everyone would be open to a polygamous relationship," Luc explains. “She’s probably very confused right now.”
Alec's got the look on his face. The one that says he knows something and isn't about to tell us.
"Alec?" I question, crossing my arms.
"What?" He mumbles, his eyes shifting away.
We all share glances. Helooksguilty. Come on, dude.
"Alec," Jace says almost sternly.
"I told her I wouldn't tell you," Alec says seriously, not budging.
"Leave Alec alone," Rory scolds us as she walks into the kitchen.
My jaw drops when I see her.Holy fuck.
I can barely hold myself back when I see her in my fucking shirt. The black material barely skims the middle of her thighs, falling one of her shoulders.
