“Shit.” I grunt as I come, my release hitting the tiles.
My chest is heaving as I straighten up, shifting the showerhead to wash away the mess.
Fuck, she’s made an absolute mess out of me.
I roll my shoulders a couple of times, turning the shower off just as I hear a knock on the door.
I freeze.
“Levi.” Scarlett’s soft voice calls through the door. Shit.
“Uh– Yeah?” I respond as I step out and towel off my wet hair.
“Are you okay? I heard some noises, is your shoulder bothering you?” She asks. My breath hitches.
Fuck. She heard?
I feel my face flush slightly.
As I wrap the towel around my waist, the door opens, and she peeks her head in.
And there she is in all her glory. Looking just as tempting as when I left her.
I’m in trouble.
“Do you need a hand?” She asks. And, man, would I love her to give me a hand.
“Oh, no. Not anymore.” I respond politely. She narrows her eyes at me before closing the door and I hear her walk downstairs.
I release the breath I didn’t realise I was holding.
Fuck, that was close.
CHAPTER NINETEEN
SCARLETT
Ibusy myself in the kitchen, cleaning the dishes from earlier thinking about the incident that just occurred in the bathroom.
Shit.
His dark hair damp and pushed back, almost as if he had just run his fingers or his towel through it. Water that was still clinging to his skin, the tiny beads falling down his muscular torso. My eyes particularly following one tiny droplet that was tracing his jaw before down the column of his throat, over his Adam's apple.
I feel myself getting hot again just thinking about it.
It’s just ten minutes later, Levi saunters downstairs.
This time wearing clothes. It’s a shame. He’s slightly more tolerable when half naked. That view makes it all the more worth it.
I rush him once he makes it to the bottom of the stairs, grabbing his forearm which makes him jolt back slightly.
“Are you okay?” I ask while searching his eyes.
He looks confused, though I’m not sure why.
“Um… Yeah. Yeah, I’m good.”
“Did you hurt your shoulder?” I ask while feeling around his shoulder for any extra inflammation.
