Maybe she’d told me the story because I told her mine. “Are we sharing secrets now?”

She continued to get undressed, not answering me. I watched her greedily taking in every inch of her body. The muscles in her back and legs. Keegan was athletic, not one of those girls afraid to put on muscle.

“Hawke, I said we aren’t showering together,” Keegan said.

“Then I’ll just watch you shower.” I hopped on the counter next to the sink and pulled a leg up to rest my head on my knee.

“This seems one-sided. What’s in it for me?” Keegan asked.

The fact she hadn’t kicked me out of the room made me smile harder. “You can watch me too.”

Keegan’s cheeks were colored with a tempting shade of red. “I don’t know. What if I’m unsatisfied?”

I shrugged. “You can cut the piece off you don’t like.”

“A piece of your body?”

I nodded. “Fair trade, right?”

“I don’t know if I should take you seriously or call for a psych doctor.”

“No need. Every head quack in Aridole has already evaluated me. They all say the same thing.”

Keegan’s smile dimmed, and she looked ready to ask me about it. Instead, she unhooked her bra freeing her breasts. She didn’t cover them, letting me get my fill.

“Take a picture. It lasts longer.”

“Thought about it, but I don’t want you to kick me out.”

Keegan sighed, shimming out of her shorts. Her nose wrinkled as she covered her mouth.

“Oh fuck. I’m burning this stuff. Hawke, strip.”

“We’re showering together?”

She glanced at me and held her hand out. I grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled it over my head, exposing my body to Keegan. An array of tattoos decorated my flesh along with the scars. The moment Keegan saw them, she gravitated closer to me, her fingers ghosting over them much like how mine had done to hers.

“Pants too,” Keegan demanded.

I pushed my jeans off and tossed them to the side with her clothes. Her gaze slid down my body and stopped once she got to my pierced cock. I was hard and had been for well over an hour.

Her eyes widened. “Were you expecting something to happen?”

“No, it just gets this way when blood is involved and apparently… you.”

Keegan’s head snapped back, and she stared into my eyes, looking for something. I was unsure if she found it, but she took a step back.

“I’m burning them.” She bent over to gather the clothes, and I admired her shapely ass.Rem would be so jealous. I grabbed my phone off the counter and snapped a few pictures.

“That’s fine. I’ll have Rem bring me some clothes.”

Keegan walked over and snatched the phone out of my hands. I could have stopped her, but I didn’t see a reason to.

“So, you did snap a picture.” Her lips formed a firm line as she stared at the screen.

“Only to brag to Rem. I’d send it to the group if I didn’t think Lux would come over and ruin the fun we’re having.”

“Mhm, so it would piss him off?”
