Personally, I absolutely will not be going there.
I need to stay focused on the task at hand.
Identify and neutralize the threat.
It’s simple.
So why am I wondering if she’s a bath salts kind of woman or one that likes those fizzy bombs that turn the water different colors?
Get your head in the fucking game.
Rolling my shoulders back, I push all the thoughts away not a second too soon as Kat rounds the corner and walks into the kitchen. Her hair is combed but wet, her feet bare, and she’s dressed in a well-loved sweatshirt and leggings.
She’s gorgeous.
Off-limits.
And for the first time in my life, I feel I may have a very real problem on my hands.

KAT
BAILEY: What do you mean he’s in your house?
KAT: He followed me home from Colt’s
BAILEY: And your brother is just okay with some strange man staying with you?
KAT: He’s not staying with me. He’s waiting till I’m settled for the night
BAILEY: Are you sure?
Frowning, I pull the brush through my hair as I sit on the end of my bed.He better not think he’s staying.
That would be ridiculous.
Completely.
KAT: He’s making dinner
BAILEY: …
KAT: What?
BAILEY: You’re adorably clueless sometimes
KAT: He has a job to do
BAILEY: And it’s not making you dinner
I don’t havea good response to that, but whatever Tom is cooking smells delicious and I’m thankful because aside from a few bites of the pizza Colt had delivered earlier, I haven’t really eaten anything today.
BAILEY: Why don’t you come stay here for a while?
KAT: I’m trying to keep my schedule intact this week, but I’ll talk to Tom and see if that’s an option
BAILEY: Tom, huh?
