"Even if I didn't grow up." He grinned and nodded toward his boxers.
"If growing up means boring underwear," I said, "then growing up is overrated."
"It really is," he agreed. "I'll be one hundred and still wearing Ninja Turtle boxers."
I laughed. "Yeah baby, talk geeky to me." My tongue darted over my lips. "Should we take this into the bedroom?"
I expected him to say he had to leave, making some excuse about a busy day tomorrow. He'd grab up his clothes, throw them on and run without looking back.
I held my breath. I hurt my own feelings with that line of thought.
"I have a better idea," he said.
"Not the elevator," I said quickly. I was too naked to walk the corridors.
"Awww." He pouted. "I actually meant the shower. Then bed. Maybe even catch some sleep around dawn."
I glanced at the clock on the wall. Nothing embarrassing, luckily. It was just a regular, round clock.
"That's hours away."
"Exactly." He wriggled his brows and reached for my hand. "I'm not going to stop until I make you scream."
"What if I don't scream?" I asked. I wasn't much of a screamer.
He thought for a moment. At last, he said, "I won't stop untilIscream."
I laughed and socked him on his insanely muscular bicep.
"If you scream too loud, I'll get a reputation in this building," I told him.
Whatever would Gladys think? She might be too scared to come and eat with me anymore. I mentally socked myself. Gladys would be happy for me, and ask for all the details, just like Grace.
Grace, she'd text me like crazy in the morning. I reminded myself to thank for her advice about wearing matching underwear. Sure, it wasn't as cool as movie merch, but the black lace hadn't gone unnoticed by Hawk.
"What could be worse than getting a reputation for having a good time?" Hawk said ironically.
"So many things," I agreed. It depended on who the person was. No one would care what I was doing, but people would want to know who I was doing it with, if they knew. Both of our personal lives would be laid bare for the consumption of people who, for some reason, found it interesting.
We'd have to be careful.
I wound my arm around his and led him toward the bathroom. The idea of a shower was appealing. I had a suspicion I'd always enjoy getting hot, wet and naked with Hawk Florence.
