then she’d find herself rubbing up against
the massive body of Mr. Theo Kodiak. If she stood five- ten then he had to be
at least six-eight or taller with shoulders almost as wide as a tree. But bulk
didn’t mean fat, because she would have to be blind not to notice the delicious
bare chest he had no shame in displaying for her. She’d never known a man who
was sculpted so fine.
    The man was a sensual beast, an
appetizing feast to the eyes. She’d never had a thing for men with beards, all
of her exes kept their faces smooth, but thinking of Mr. Kodiak, she could not
imagine him differently. She liked his rugged viral look. Chocolate brown hair
and eyes so dark they appeared black every time he looked directly at her. But,
no one’s eyes were black. They had to be dark brown like his thick hair that
hung slightly unruly around his face. If the situation were different and maybe
they’d met in Oregon, she would’ve looked forward to the opportunity to bury
her hands deep in his hair.
    Everything about the man was sexy.
She’d even noticed that the hair on the back of his right hand was stark white.
The odd coloring had fascinated her. Theo was an interesting man in many ways.
    The steam in the bathroom was
dissipating but it wasn’t doing anything for the heat surrounding her body. She
needed to get out of the room before she passed out. Her hair that hung in wet
waves around her shoulders, but in the morning, it would be a dry rat’s nest. At
least it would be clean. Lifting the towel, she used the towel to wipe down the
mirror. Taking a quick look at her reflection, she was happy to see that the
remnants of Mother Nature were down the drain instead of still stuck to her
body. She was sure Theo had believed her to be a lunatic arriving at his door
in such a physical and mental state. Once she got to town tomorrow, she would
figure out what to do about her car situation. Maybe there was a rental place
if nothing else.
    Quickly pulling the 3XL t-shirt over
her head, she then grabbed the sweatpants from the counter where she had them
resting. Stepping into them, she dragged them up to her waist and immediately
noticed the wide width of the waistband. Even after she tightened the drawstring,
they still hung baggy around her legs, bunched up around her feet like elephant
ankles and dangled so low on her hips that they threatened to fall off her
backside with every move. Frustrated, she easily yanked them down her hips
without untying them, proving that they were barely up anyway. Stepping out of
them, she looked down at her legs and was thankful that Theo’s t-shirt was long
enough to cover her to mid-thighs. She reminded herself that she only needed to
sleep in it then in the morning she could put her clothes back on. Another
check in the mirror showed her that she appeared more lost in the oversized
shirt than she did sexy, so she should not be concerned that she would move
Theo to lust.
    Gathering up her clothing and shoes
from the floor, she exited the bathroom before she lost her nerve.  
    “Feeling better?” Theo asked from
the base of the steps when she came out. Still shirtless and still hot as hell.
    “Yes, much better.” Standing at the
top landing, she looked down the stairs at him and wondered how the steps
between them could seem like too many and not enough at the same time.
    His eyes moved from her face, past the
bundle in her arms to her legs making her feel naked. She had to remind herself
that she owned dresses and skirts that were shorter than the shirt and she’d
never paused for a moment before putting it on to go to the club with her
friends.
    “The pants were too big,” she
informed him.
    “Figured as much.” Returning his
gaze to her face, he said, “When you’re ready to come down I’ll give you the
not so grand tour of the kitchen and the laundry room.”
    He was probably being polite because
she was still hanging around at the top like an idiot. She slowly descended,
closing the
