Oh.

Of course, I’d like to get to know Blaze better, especially with our bodies.

God, I’m like a raging horn dog.See, I told you - impure thoughts. I’m sure my face is bright red right now. How embarrassing. I guess it takes me too long to answer because Blaze starts rambling. “It’s okay. If you’re not comfortable with my hotel, we can go to a coffee shop or somewhere. I just thought we could get out of the cold and kick our shoes off to warm our toes. I don’t know about you, but my feet are freezing.”

“Sorry, Blaze. No...”

“Okay, coffee shop it is,” he replies in a rush. “Just lead the way.”

“No, that’s not what I meant. I’m sorry, my brain spaced out there for a moment,” I say, trying to smooth over the disappointment I can see in his eyes. “I meant to say, no, it would not make me uncomfortable to spend time with you at your hotel. That actually sounds really nice.”

“Great. Here, let me pull up the GPS. It can lead us in the right direction. I’m really turned around, and have no clue as to where it is,” he says with a chuckle and runs his hand through his hair.

I laugh with him and lean in close to see if I can help. He’s staying at a small, but nice hotel, within walking distance of where we are now. We make our way there just a couple of minutes later.

When we arrive, Blaze leads me straight up to his room. I’m excited to spend more time with him, yet I am definitely also nervous to see where this goes. If anything is to happen, will it be just like my dreams, or will it be a letdown? I seriously doubt the latter.

Chapter 6

Blaze

Ifully intend to justtalk tonight, try to get to know Gaia more. I only know a little from her brother, but who is Gaia Giovati really? She intrigues me. I want to know what books she likes to read, what foods are her favorites, what foods she hates. What she likes to do in her spare time, what her favorite color is. What side of the bed she likes to sleep on, what her pjs look like, what she is wearing under that blue sweater and sexy as hell jeans that make her ass look like perfection. I could keep going, but I won’t.Justgetting to know her is going to be a lot harder than I thought, if it’s not damn near impossible.

She follows my lead into the room before I remove my jacket and kick my shoes off.

“I want to get out of these clothes,” I say.

Gaia’s head lifts, and desire burns in her eyes.

“I mean, change into some shorts and a t-shirt, to get comfortable,” I add.

Her laugh is soft and sweet when she speaks, and there’s that pink hue painting her cheeks that I’ve already come to love. “Oh, yes. Sure, do whatever you would like.” As she says the words, the glow turns a deeper shade of red.

I tilt my head, watching her, sensing she meant the innuendo.Do whatever you would like.

“I don’t think my clothes will fit you, but would you like a large t-shirt? It should cover you up.” Although covering her up is the last thing I want to do, I guess seeing her in my clothes is still a win-win. Even if we are just going to talk, she can at least be comfortable, right? Could I be so lucky that the innuendo will move a little closer to reality?
