I glance at Sebastian with wide eyes. He grins and reaches for the door, but I grab his wrist, holding him back, my cheeks burning.
“Please don’t,” I mouth.
He frowns slightly. “Go away, Sofia.”
“Oh. Um, have you seen Cordelia?”
“Are you asking me that right now?”
“You don’t have to be a dick.”
We listen as she walks down the hall. I slip off the cabinet and slide past him, trying to ignore all the man flesh and the fact that this is my best friend’s brother, and he’s virtually naked, and I think I just destroyed myself.
Sebastian places one of his large hands on my lower back and peers out.
“Coast is clear.”
I hesitate. “Thank you.”
He drops a kiss on my hair. “Go get some rest, Cordie.”
I’m frozen in stunned amazement. Sebastian Sol just kissed me. My first kiss from anyone that isn’t a family member or old person, and my heart is racing, and I want him to do it again.
I tingle everywhere.
“Goodnight,” he says and turns away from me.
“Thank you,” I whisper, and then I grab my dignity and run down the stairs, not stopping until I’m under the blankets in the lounge.
“Did you get it?” I ask her.
Sofia pulls out a pair of undies. I stare at them.
“Sofia, what the hell?”
“It was all I could grab.”
“His underwear? Oh, god, they are going to kill us. And also, ew!”
I burn just thinking about Sebastian’s underwear. I bury my face in the pillow. Why do I suddenly want to know what colour his are?
“You have to take it back.”
Sofia looks at me with huge eyes. “No way. This is my trophy.”
“For what? Shit stains?”
“How dare you! Devon would never shit his dacks.”
I glance around, checking the doors before I lean in and yelp as I almost put my face on them.
“Ew, gross. Keep them over there.”
“You know, I kinda expected them to be cooler. Not black cotton.”
“What are you two up to?”
Sofia slams the underwear down under the blanket between us, but I’m too busy staring, my mouth ajar, unable to look away as Sebastian pads into the room in a pair of cotton pajama pants that sits low on his hips. Oh, gods, he’s got these hip bones that lead right down his pants.Am I burning up? Am I sick?
