I woke up to the warm feeling of sunshine on my skin. It took me a minute to figure out why I was outside, but once I realized that my cheek was pressed against a warm, hard chest, memories of last night came flooding back to me. I slowly tilted my head back and lifted my chin to look at him, just to be met with his ice blue eyes. "Good morning, beautiful." He whispered.
"How long have you been up?" I asked.
"Not long."
"Why didn't you wake me?"
"I didn't want to." He said simply.
"I need a shower. I smell like chlorine." I said as I wrinkled my nose. "Come on. You can hop in too. I have travel size stuff for guests." As soon as I said it, I realized it sounded like I was inviting him to shower with me. My cheeks lightly flushed as I turned to clarify, "...I... um... I meant..."
James turned to me, leaned down and stopped so close I could feel his warm breath on my neck. As he spoke he wrapped an arm around my waist, "I wouldn't mind showering with you love, but we may never leave the bathroom if that happens. Best to keep the showers separate... for now." He said as he winked at me and headed to the outdoor sound system to get his phone.
As we walked into the house, James said, "You go ahead and get in now. I have to run out to my car and get my bag."
"Ok. My room is the one at the very end of the hall. Just come in when you get back." I said. He just nodded as he walked to the door.
I quickly went back to my room and into the bathroom. I turned on the shower to warm as I pulled off my suit and got in. I quickly showered and wrapped a towel around my body before stepping out of the bathroom. "It's all yours." I said to James, who was sitting on the sofa by the window. His eyes lifted from his phone. The tiny smirk that I saw at the bar was back gently pulling his lips as his eyes roamed over my towel covered body. "Help yourself to anything you want. The stuff on the counter is CREW, or you can use my lavender stuff in the shower. Depending on how pretty you wanna feel today." I said with a smile and a wink.
"Thanks" He said as he walked into the bathroom.
I stepped into my closet and pulled out the first thing that looked somewhat comfortable. My favorite jeans and a loose fitting cream colored, long sleeved, v-neck top.

I was fixing my hair in my full length mirror when I spotted James. He was only wearing a towel and looking through his bag for the clothes he needed. He looked up and caught my eyes.
"You better stop looking at me like that. It's dangerous." He said.
"You looked at me. It's only fair." I returned with a raised brow.
"Guilty. It's still dangerous to see you looking at me like I'm a snack."
"You aren't a snack." I said a little too quickly. He looked at me with raised brows as if I just insulted him. "That's not what i meant..." I said as I full on blushed bright red.
