Yee.
I drop out of the incriminating position and attempt to get under the covers. In my panic, I fumble and my foot gets tangled in the sheet. I lose my balance and land on the floor with a loud thump.
“Ouch.” The area rug doesn’t do much to soften the blow.
“Harley?” The door flies open.
Oh, no.
Kaz can’t find me in this position. Not after what I was attempting to do.
I cradle my head between my arms to hide my embarrassment.
Rushed steps resonate against the floor until they stop in front of me. “What the hell happened?”
I lift my head and stare at two very long feet.
Even his feet are sexy.
He must get pedicures?—
“Harley?”
I lift my gaze and I’m met with worried blue eyes. “How did you manageto fall off the bed?”
Kill me now, God.
I swallow. “I… I…”I was trying to reproduce a raunchy sexual position in one of the hockey romance books you bought me. And wondering what kind of lover you are.“Maybe I had too much wine to drink at dinner.”
Kaz frowns, his eyebrows nearly touching. “You didn’t finish your second glass.”
Thanks for being so observant.
“Well, I didn’t want to be too dehydrated tomorrow morning when I wake up, so I was going to make my way downstairs to get a glass of water. You know what they say? Hydration is very important when you consume alcohol.”
His expression suggests he doesn’t have a damn clue what I’m talking about.
Neither do I, buddy. Neither do I.
“The water throughout the house goes through a filtration system, so you could’ve headed to the bathroom for a glass of water. Also, every bathroom in the house has glass tumblers.”
“Got it.”Gosh, he bought my lie.
“I’m going to help you up and then I’ll get you a glass of water.” Kaz stretches out both hands, and I reach out for them.
He yanks me to my feet.
The momentum—or his incredible strength––causes me to crash into a wall of muscle.
His hands move to my lower back. “I got you.”
Heat from his body radiates through me, and the wires in my brain short circuit.
For a few breaths, we stare at each other.
The energy in the air is potent.
What are you doing?
