“That's very kind.” I smile. “And intimate.”

“It's water.”

“You're letting me put my mouth where your mouth was.”

Roman stares at me.

I unscrew the cap. “It’s basically second base.”

“Drink the fucking water.”

I laugh and take a sip.

His eyes drop to my mouth.

Interesting.

Very interesting.

I deliberately take another.

Roman's jaw flexes.

Then he takes the bottle from me. “Done?”

“With the water?”

“With bothering me.”

“No.”

“I figured.”

I smile.

For a second, we just stand there. Something warm settles in my chest.

This is what I wanted. Just being around him.

My smile softens.

Roman notices. “What?”

“Nothing.”

“That wasn't a nothing-face.”

“I was just thinking.”

“Dangerous.”

“Funny.”

His mouth twitches again.

God. He's doing that more.

I like it.
