Kade growls, and slams the door, and I burst out laughing. I knock again and the door opens instantly this time.

“Unless you want to join us, I suggest you stop,” Kade says followed by a long suffering sigh.

I fold my arms against my chest, and say nothing. Kade also folds his arms and continues to hold my stare. I hear a frustrated ‘Kade!’ in the background, and I give him a smug look.

A few moments pass.

“Fine!” he caves, “You won’t see me naked around the house again. Well played Layla, well played.” He chuckles, pats me on the head and slams the door again.

I walk, half asleep, to the bathroom, shuffling my feet, ready for a shower. When I open the bathroom door I get the shock of my life.

Kade.

In the shower.

Butt naked (Obviously).

But that wasn’t even the worst part. Kade wasn’t alone. I scream. The woman wraps the shower curtain around her, and Kade just steps out, smiling, in all his naked glory.

“Good morning Layla. Shower’s free!”

The man has no shame.

I turn and run to my room, hearing Kade laugh behind me.

I bury my head in my pillow.

An hour or so later when I finally gather enough courage to face Kade again. I walk into the kitchen and stand in front of him. He’s tying his blonde hair at the nape of his neck with a manly leather band, and gives me a smirk when he sees me.

“Finally out of hiding?” he teases.

“Look, I’m going to pretend that never happened,” I say sagely.

“Pretend what never happened?” asks James as he walks into the kitchen.

Oh great, here we go.

“Layla walked in on Sarah and I in the shower,” Kade mentions casually.

James laughs, “You are going to scar the poor girl for life bro.”

“Hey, she walked in.”

“Yeah, because the door wasn’t locked! Boundaries Kade! We need some,” I say in a singsong voice. “I think I should have a bathroom to myself. You two can share. Come on, please?” I add, batting my eyelashes.

“I’ll think about it,” Kade says thoughtfully.

“You do that. By the way, make sure you don’t kill someone with that thing,” I say pointing towards his crotch.

I’m serious. It was massive.

Kade gives me a full on belly laugh.

I can hear James laughing too.

I retreat to my room.
