I desperately wanted to see him be reunited with the rest of his family, who was more than willing to accept him and care about him.
More than anything, Cole Remington deserved some peace, and I was determined to help him find it.
Cole
The following morning was hell for me, just like the previous three mornings had been.
I was up by five thirty and in the gym shortly after that.
I guess I thought working out hard before Lauren arrived would help relieve some of the sexual tension I felt from the moment she walked through the door in the morning.
Hell, maybe it took the edge off.
A little.
But I wasn’t sure my strenuous morning workouts were helping any more than the fact that I got myself off every single night thinking abouther.
Every.
Single.
Damn.
Night.
Thank fuck we were now done for the day.
It wasn’t like Lauren dressed to be provocative.
She did absolutely nothing to try to draw my attention to her body.
In fact, her leggings and T-shirts were pretty modest.
However, if I had to see her shapely ass when she bent over in those leggings one more time, I wasn’t sure I would have been able to keep myself from losing it.
I lowered the weights I’d been using and grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat off my upper body.
I’d sent Lauren into the steam room after her workout for some deep tissue relaxation.
I couldn’t see her at the moment, but all I could fucking think about was her in that steam room in nothing more than the towel I’d tossed her.
Probably the strangest part of my frustrated state was the fact that Lauren was completely and utterly clueless.
She had no idea that my dick was hard every moment we were together.
She’d innocently asked me if I was joining her in the steam room without a hint of sexual innuendo.
Like a friend who was asking another friend if they wanted to hang out.
That was when I’d tossed her a damn towel without another word.
If I’d replied to her question, it wouldn’t have been anything appropriate for a supposed friend to say to a friend.
I caught her watching me curiously once in a while, but it wasn’t a look filled with unadulterated lust.
Hell, if I thought for one second that Lauren wanted me, I’d break every rule I’d made for myself just to get her into my bed.
IknewI’d cross that damn line, even though I respected my cousins and Millie.
