The Guy Next Door

Chapter 33

Chapter 33

The brights rays of the early afternoon splashed over the large bed giving the room a brightness I current loathed, groaning I squeezed my eyes shut hoping to catch a bit more sleep. Any hope of sleep was diminished as the sound of the shower pricked my ears, startled I sat up fully alert and slightly frightened when a very familiar scent tickled my nose. That one spicy scent brought the events of yesterday rushing back like a short film, filling in the blanks my groggy mind failed to do.

Wes spent the night and we didn't have sex.

Never in a million years would I ever entrained the thought let alone believe it to ever be true. Running a hand through my hair I couldn't contain the sudden burst of joy as I turned to stare at the empty bed, my eyes grazing the wrinkled sheets recalling his body pressed shamelessly to mine when I woke during the night. Despite being toned Wes turned out to be a very comfortable pillow, the hard muscles of his body provided with a warm security that I yearned to have around me. Smiling at the thought I shook my head as the thought of having him in my bed every night ran through my mind. I'm sure he'll have no issue with spending the nights, I thought sarcastically.

Swinging my feet over the edge of the bed I wiggled my toes relieved that the stiff ache from yesterday was gone, he really does have magical fingers. The long train of dirty thoughts crossing my mind was unexpected as was the warm heat spreading in my lower abdominal, what I wouldn't do to get him on a bed. Jumping to my feet I started toward the kitchen in search for caffeine when the bathroom door opened revealing a gift from the heavens. Standing less than a for away with merely a small pink towel around his hips and dripping wet was the very man invading my thoughts looking as tempting as ever.

Flashing me a megawatt smile he stepped forward "Good morning."

I couldn't respond as I stood there with my mouth gaped and my eyes raking over his bronze skin silently hoping for a random breeze to blow the towel away and reveal the true masterpiece beneath the towel. Darting my tongue out I moisten my parched lips as my eyes continued to glide over his body, drinking in every water droplet that skittered down the length of his chest. Clenching my hands at my sides I could barely contain the urge to place my hands on his chest and allow them to roam freely over as his towel falls away...

"Take a picture while your at it."

Heat flushed my cheeks, clearing my throat I tilted my head up meeting his gaze and what I saw in their grey depths increased the liquid heat pooling between my thighs. The pure carnal look shining back at me contradicted the humor laced in his voice.

"I didn't realize you'd come out like..." my eyes trailed over his chiseled chest "..that."

His mouth lifted into a lopsided grin "Would you have preferred I come out nude?"

"No." I gasped, if he had come out naked I would have jumped him on sight.

Turning on my heels I squeezed my eyes shut as his laughter floated around me, mocking me. "I'm just teasing kitty." he called as I raced to the bathroom with my face burning in embarrassment.

Real smooth Khloe, I scolded as I shut the door after me. Running a hand through my hair I shook my head before stripping out of my clothes intending to take a shower that'll hopefully take my mind off of my filthy mind. Jumping in the shower I made sure to take my time and scrubbed every inch of my body in the attempt to distract myself from the hunky male on the other side of the door. Stepping out I made sure to throughly lotion my body before peaking my head out, to my relief Wes was no where in sight. Gripping the front of the towel I sprinted I to my room where the bed was already made.

Standing in front of my wardrobe I searched frantically through my clothes for an outfit that didn't resemble something my mother would wear. Settling on a floral sundress Tess bought me for my birthday I dried my hair quickly and dabbed a small amount of makeup, wouldn't want to scare him away. Giving my hair a shake I took a deep breath before stepping out of my room when the delicious aroma of coffee and waffles greeted me like an old friend.
