And I settle in for a long fucking night.
Chapter Fourteen
A headache pounds inside my skull, the kind of throbbing that makes it hard to focus on anything else. My eyes hurt, my ears hurt,everythinghurts, and I know it’s completely self-inflicted thanks to the amount of wine I drank the day before, but god, this is hell.
I keep my eyes closed, waiting for the headache to abate enough for me to move and go in search of hydration and pain meds. At least I’m comfortable, and warm and something smells really damn good. I let my hands run over the sheets under me until my fingers bump into something hard.
Huh?
That doesn’t seem right.
Popping one eye open, squinting through the light that floods the room, I finally latch onto what or ratherwhois lying next to me.
That is a man chest. A very nice man chest, his pecs and abs defined so perfectly it’s likethey’ve been carved from stone. Swallowing, I let my eyes drift down, taking in every dip and curve before I see the waist band of flannel pants and the sheets.
Shit.
My eyes bounce up, only to find Malakai smirking down at me, one dark brow quirked, his blue eyes twinkling.
“Oh my shit!” I move so quickly I get wrapped up in the sheets, dragging them from him as I scramble, tangling myself up more. I’m in such a panic, I don’t see the edge of the bed and I’m tumbling off the side before I can right myself. I land in a heap on the floor, the sheets locking my limbs together, my hair falling over my face.
A deep chuckle has every hair raising on my body and I blow out a breath, trying to move the hair from my vision so I can start untangling myself.
I’m still struggling when Malakai’s feet land on the floor next to me and I look up to find him leaning his head in his hands, elbows resting on his knees as he watches me struggle, that damn smirk on his face.
“What the fuck are you doing here!?” I snap.
“This ismybedroom,” He cocks his head, analyzing me.
“What!?”
“How’s the head, kitten?” He asks as he stands up, raising his arms above his head to stretch out his unfairly beautiful body. So many muscles, flexing and popping as he moves and I forget how to talk, letting my eyes drag down him. I’ve even stopped fighting with the sheets just to let myself drink him in, the sixpack and the muscles at his sides, the veins that snake down his forearms and the V that carves up his hips. A trail of hair leads from his naval down to the waist of his pants and disappears beneath, right to his –
“That’s a dick!” I scream, coming to my senses as I scramble away, taking the sheets with me. That’s a very hard, very big cock tenting the front of his flannel pajama pants.
“Well, you can hardly blame me, kitten,” He steps toward me as I crab crawl backwards until I have nowhere else to go, my back hitting the chaise lounge, “Especially since you were rubbing yourself all over me all night.”
His finger curls under my chin, bringing my eyes to his.
“I was not!” I snap in indignation.
His tongue traces his bottom lip, “How are you feeling?”
“Can you please get your dick out of my face!”
He rolls his eyes and steps away, heading toward the bathroom, “I asked you a question, Olivia.”
I glance to where he’s disappeared into the bathroom, leaving the door open and I scramble to remove myself from the sheets, getting to my feet quickly. The headache is still knocking at my temples and my stomach is rolling, reminding me I really need to eat something and drink a gallon of water.
But first escape.
I look to the bathroom again, slapping my hand across my mouth when I see he’s dropped the pants and iscurrently brushing his teeth completely naked. His toned ass is staring right at me.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
The water turns on as he spits into the basin, almost finished with his morning routine so I bolt.
“Olivia,” He sighs, catching me making my escape. I throw the bedroom door open and run to the one I was staying in only to bounce right off the door. I shove at the handle, but it doesn’t budge and then I feel his body press up to mine. The warmth of his chest leaks through the shirt I’m wearing, searing my skin. I glance subtly behind me, loosening a breath when I see he’s at least put a towel around himself, so his cock isn’t rubbing up all on me.
