“Yes, you’ve already told me that. You’re repeating yourself.”

She scrunches her eyebrows. “I am?”

Glancing over at Sierra for help, she whispers something into Kylie’s ear. Whatever she says seems to agree with Kylie because her face beams before she nods. After jumping into my arms, she wraps her legs around my waist.

“I’m ready to go to bed now, my Adonis!” she slurs loudly before sucking on my earlobe.

Everyone chuckles.

Adonis?“Your what?” I ask.

Leaning back, she stabs a sharp nail into my chest. “You, silly, are my Adonis. Duh.” She raises her eyebrows like I should understand what she’s talking about.

Shaking my head, I chuckle.She’s really cute when she’s drunk.I carry her to my bedroom, help her change, then she collapses on my bed, quickly falling asleep.

Even passed out drunk, she’s still the most beautiful girl I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Her arm stretches out to my side of the bed as if searching for me, and I love that she wants me even in her sleep.

Going to my side of the bed, I drop my trunks to the floor, slide in, and pull her to my chest so she feels my warmth. She lets out a contented sigh and goes straight to sleep again.

Not long after, I follow her to dreamland.

ChapterSeventeen

Kylie

Waking up, my head pounds, and the light filtering through the windows hurts my eyes. I’ve never drunk so much in my life or felt this bad. I squint at Leo’s side of his bed and notice he’s gone. The shower is running, so I figure he must be in there.

Moments later, he steps into the bedroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and freezes when he sees I’m awake. I feel awful, but I still take the time to ogle his body.

“How are you feeling?”

When my stinging eyes snap up to his face, he smirks. He caught me checking him out again.

“Um… I have a bit of a headache.”

Hangovers suck.

“Would you like some Tylenol?”

“Yes, please.” I need that and coffee, and lots of it.

Changing into athletic shorts, he suggests, “Why don’t you hop in the shower while I grab you some Tylenol?”

Yes. A shower will make me feel better. Or at least make me feel like I’m in the land of the living.

Dragging my sorry ass out of bed, I take notice I’m in one of Leo’s T-shirts. “Did you undress me?”

He steps up to me. “Yeah, I did. You were in no condition to undress yourself.”

Ugh. I really must have been a sight.

Guiding me toward the bathroom with his hands on my shoulders, he says, “Now get in the shower while your Adonis gets you your medicine.” He gifts me his trademark smirk, smacks my ass, and leaves the room.

I stand frozen.My Adonis? How does he know I call him that?

What did I say last night?I smack my forehead.

Ugh, that hurt.
