Excerpt
I force myself to look away because . . . well, because
he’s a stranger. In my house. Naked. And oh my God, something is wrong with me,
because I’m not running and calling 911 like I should.
When his chuckle subsides, he brings his head back down, so I can see
the tears in his eyes from laughter. “That thing
is my cock, and since this is my
bathroom and you seem to be attempting to seduce me in my house, I don’t think you have any right to tell me what to do.”
And with that, he leans a hip against the counter and folds his arms across his
chest, eyes locked on mine and one eyebrow lifted. Everything else is left
hanging out there in the wind.
“Your house? Seduce you?” At that point I realize I’m sputtering and
shaking my head. “This is my house. You’re in my house.”
Confusion drifts across his face and his jaw falls lax. “Hold up.” He
lifts his hands in the hold on a minute
position, drawing my eyes back to where they don’t want to be. If this whole
situation weren’t so unbelievable, it would be comical, and yet as true as that
is, I don’t seem to be laughing at all. “I think there seems to be some
misunderstanding.”
“No shit.” Sarcasm is
my fallback and it doesn’t disappoint me now. A lot of good it does me, though,
as I’m still doing the naked dance while trying to react to this surreal
situation.
The look of disdain he gives me at my comment earns him no points in my
book. “While I’m digging the socks with your outfit,” he says with a smirk,
eyes veering down and then back up to my strategically placed hands, “you
should cover up.” I catch the towel he tosses me and immediately wrap it around
myself. I’m certain my mismatching knee-high socks make a statement about me,
but I’m beyond caring, because I’m still alone in my house with a strange man
and have no answers as to how this has happened.
With one hand clutching onto the towel at my collarbone, I use the other
to motion to him. “You too.”
A lightning flash of a grin glances across his lips. “Sorry, but you
just took the only towel left.”
