L.A. Weatherly Quote
I almost jumped when the door opened. Alex came back inside, wearing black sweatpants; I swallowed as I saw his chest bare. Forgot my T-shirt, he said sheepishly. His bag was on the floor near the bed, and I watched the lantern light play on his skin as he crossed to it. Squatting by the bag, he pulled out a T-shirt; I sat frozen, taking in the movement of his back and shoulders.I stood up, my heart hammering. Wait. Can I just...? I trailed off as he turned to look at me.What? he said, rising to his feet.An embarrassed laugh escaped me. I shook my head. Just--before you put that on, can I...? In slow motion, I went over to him. I reached out toward his chest and then stopped, my fingers hesitating an inch from his skin. Is--this all right?Alex stood very still, a soft smile on his face. Anything you want is all right.
