Chapter 28

Ahana readied for her shower, glad she was finally feeling better. Adam had stayed with her for two weeks, practically moving in. Adam had nursed her, and then she’d nursed him when he caught her virus.

Although in fairness, that was his own fault. Meisha stayed with Jason. Although Ahana was feeling better, she didn’t let her friend know that.

She was treasuring the time with Adam too much. There was something special in waking up with him every morning and going to sleep in his arms.

She’d wake up restless sometimes from a nightmare, and he was always right there cradling her and whispering soothing words. He made her breakfast, and she made him dinner.

He stopped by her institute to bring her lunch. Adam showed her just how flexible her roller chairs were, as well as the large desk she’d always used for utilitarian purposes.

They helped each other dress in the mornings before work. He would zip up her dress, and she would adjust his tie. In the evenings, they reversed the routine, undressing each other, sometimes slowly, but most of the time, Adam didn’t have the patience and preferred to rip off her clothes.

Ahana had to purchase more panties as a result, not that she minded.
Ahana heard the chime of a new message. She picked up her phone to read Adam’s text.

What are you wearing?
She shook her head as she answered.

Nothing .

Seriously?

Hopping in the shower, I’ll see you in twenty.

She waited impatiently to see what his response was.

Make it ten.

Ahana laughed and put down her phone. Adam always managed to make her laugh. She went to get in the shower and realized she’d run out of shampoo. She donned her bathrobe and rifled through her cabinet to find some.

Then she looked at her legs. A shave would be a good idea. She should shave a few things actually. She blushed even though she was alone. Lately thoughts of Adam circumvented her normal contemplation. He had kidnapped her mind in a way and made her feel things she never thought she was capable of.

At the same time, the ideas scared her. Adam was not looking for anything more than sex and friendship. That consideration was at the forefront of Ahana’s mind at all times. She just had to look at his key chain. It was funny, she’d purchased it as a joke, but now it served as a silent reminder for her that their relationship could never develop.

He was the most attentive friend and lover she could ask for, but that’s all he was. Ahana no longer looked at Jason as if he was the answer to her woes. She didn’t look at Adam for that either. She was content to live in the moment and enjoy the passing days.

They had been friends for only two months, but it was difficult to imagine what her life had been like before him, or even worse, what it might be like without him. Ahana pushed the thoughts out of her head. She knew Adam had helped her, and it was time for her to step off the crutch he gave her.

A little sad at that thought, she stepped into the shower. She hadn’t even realized she was touching herself while thinking of him and his sleekly muscled runner’s body under the hot, steamy water until Adam opened the shower curtain, and she screamed her head off.

He gave her an amused smile. “Was I interrupting something?” She jerked her hands away from her drenched pussy. “Don’t stop on my account, please.”

“What the hell?” She almost tripped, not just because he scared her, but because he was naked. The sight did things to her.

He entered the shower and enveloped her in a tight embrace. “Sorry, I just thought I’d surprise you.”
