Yet he was so open, so willing to give me his all if I only wanted it. Maybe I’m already broken beyond repair and that’s why I can’t simply fall into this feeling. Why I can’t let go and try.

But as I fall asleep in his warm, secure embrace, I can’t put out the flicker of light he lit inside me. I cannot shake off the feelingthat everything is about to change, or maybe already did. And I can’t help but dream of him, instead of icy waters.

“Mmm.” I feel the deep murmur vibrate over my back as a strong hand glides over my waist and down to my hip, slightly squeezing it. “No clothes rule is the best.” Exton nips my shoulder, and I smile. “Maybe we should extend it into the day as well.”

I raise my hand and slap his away from my hip but instead I freeze, my eyes flying open.

Oh my god.

“What’s wrong?” Exton’s immediately on alert. I should tell him, but instead a lie slips past my lips.

“You’re naked.” For the first time since he got here, he seems to buy it without question and chuckles, pressing his huge hard as a rod dick into my back.

Silently, I beg him to dig his hands into my hip again, to see if that was just a fluke or I really felt him squeeze me instead of simply sensing his touch there. But he’s either not doing it anymore or it really was a fluke.

In a rash decision, I lift the covers and see his hand still tightly wrapped around my ass, but I don’t feel it.

A fluke then. I sigh, letting the cover drop back over our bodies and Exton gives me one raised brow?

“What was that? You didn’t like something about my body?” I shake my head, feeling my cheeks heat up when he rubs the said body all over me. “Because I happen to love yours and the whole unrequited love doesn’t work for me.” Right away the memories of last night and how reverently he loved my body fly in like the bomb squad, shitting on my parade.

And now I’m not only holding the cover over us, I’m pulling it over my head, hiding.

“Okay, I swear, if you don’t start talking, I’ll get a complex over here, thinking my body is offending you.” When I don’t make a sound, he rips the blanket off me, hard enough to pull it away from my breasts and the cool air skaters over them, instantly turning my nipples into hard pebbles.

But Exton is undeterred, he only keeps staring at me, expectantly. “Well?”

I roll my lips and then bite the inside of my cheek. “Um, we did things last night. Well, you did things. Many things,” I struggle for words as my cheeks feel hotter and hotter while his face loses the confusion and gains a whole lot of cockiness.

Great.

“You bet I did.” Exton falls on top of me right away, his lips locking over mine and I push at his rock-hard chest without making any progress at actually moving him. “And I fucking loved it.”

Jesus, he’s a big boy.

Everywhere.

And now I’m hot all over.

No! No, Electra! We were going to set boundaries today, not break any more of those that are barely holding down the fort. But damn, his weight feels so heavenly over me.Hefeels heavenly.

“Exton! Morning breath!” I mumble into his mouth, but the bastard only uses it as a chance to slip his tongue inside and to my utter embarrassment, I reciprocate, kissing him back like a woman starved, running my fingers through his short beard. God, when I saw it glistening, covered in my cum last night, I almost passed out.

“There.” He pulls away, laying one last peck. “Now we share the same one. So, might as well keep kissing you.”

I laugh at his sound logic but manage to twist my body away from his mouth right before he goes back for another kiss, and he groans when he meets the pillow instead.

“Okay, that needs to stop,” I inform him, feeling the need to bring up my plans from last night.

“What needs to stop?” he says into the pillow before rolling away from me.

“Everything.” Exton’s head whips my way.

“What do you mean, everything?”

“Us. This. The kissing. And all that. It has to stop. We are just friends and that’s it, okay?”

Exton stares at me for a few seconds without giving me any indication of what he’s thinking while my own head is spinning.
