"Come inside?" I nearly plead him with my eyes. He is completely soaked. I totally didn't expect this kind of reaction from Rey but that's how he is - Unpredictable and Loving.

He hesitates for a moment but later gestures me to lead the way. He keeps looking around my house. I hate when people judge me.

But for some reason he seems vulnerable and that's why I am afraid to meet his gaze.

"Why don't you remove your shirt. I can air dry it for you. Remember I have your jacket? You can wear that. We both know you get sick easily." Our eyes meet. His gaze is strong enough to take away my breath but we stay like this for a minute.

"It's okay. I won't tell a soul, Officer. The more you stay healthy the easily you can catch your culprit." I wink at him. I have come to a conclusion that taunting each other is far better than having a normal conversation. It may give me a headache but at least it doesn't take me back to the memory lane.

"You mean catch you?" Bustard.
"If that satisfy your ego why not Officer?"
I head towards my room to bring his jacket and also the packet.

I don't need him to reject me anymore by not taking the jacket when I will hand it over to him. So I kept the jacket in the couch. It's his call now.

I give him some space and come to the kitchen to make some coffee. I glance at him. He is taking off his shirt. Fuck. He always had a beautiful body but now it's beyond description. I bet this bustard goes to gym regularly. And as always no tattoos. I have always preferred men with tattoos but seeing him without any tattoos always turns me on.
I concentrate on making the coffee. I put half a spoon sugar the way he preferred back then. But now it seems he doesn't like sugar. However my house my rules.

I walk towards him and he hands me over the wet clothes. I put those on the dryer.

"Need some pajamas?" I smirk at him. He shoots me a death glare.

"Oh come on I didn't ask you to wear panties, did I? Keep wearing that drenched jeans of yours." I roll my eyes but he seems not to be interested in my words.

My eyes fall on his body again. I am one step away from drooling. He place his jacket horizontally on the couch and sits over it.
"Yes you may sit down. I'm always generous." He narrows his eyes at me. I love to irritate him.

He sneezes. He has already got cold.
"The coffee is for Reyzel Kingston. Is there any other Kingston in the room?" I grin being proud of my sarcasm.

He takes a sip from the coffee and I examine his face for any sign of discomfort. Couldn't find any so I assumed he liked the coffee and it made me happy. Damn Eve control your hormones.

I hand over the packet to him.
"That pendrive was in this packet. Thought it may help you." That's why I had called him until I didn't realize it was already late at night. I spent hours looking for this damn packet.

He examines the packet carefully and asked,
"You live alone?"
"Single and happy." I replied.
He glares at me again.

I heard the beep while he was making some phone call. His clothes have dried. I took them out and hand over to him.

.
"I'll be sending an officer to guard you." he says.
"I don't fucking need your body guard."

"Didn't ask for your opinion."

Fuck. I threw my shoes at him from behind but he easily dodge it off and left. Again.
