I smile and laugh.

Hedefinitelyheard me.

“I made coffee,” Ari says as I walk into the kitchen the next morning.

“Thanks,” I reply, grabbing my favorite coffee mug from the cabinet. I ended up moving most of them to my storage unit since Ari already has plenty of mugs, but I did keep myMe Goose-tamug.

It’s got a pun and a goose in a Flamenco dress. What more could I want?

“Did you, uh…” he stammers awkwardly, “sleep alright?”

“I slept fine,” I respond slowly, eyeing him the entire time. “You’re being weird.”

He scoffs. “I’m not being weird.”

“Whatever you say, Morgan.” I roll my eyes, fill my mug with coffee, and pour some peppermint creamer in before I take a seat at the island.

Ari lets out a deep breath and follows me over. “I heard you last night.”

I can’t help but laugh. “Ah, that’s why you’re being weird.”

“Sorry that I don’t know how to act after hearing my roommate get herself off,” he chides.

I just shrug. “You don’t see me acting weird after hearing you. Can’t be that hard to just be normal.”

His eyes widen in surprise. “How thin are these fucking walls?”

“You tell me. You own the place.”

Ari scrubs a hand down his face. “I didn’t know until now. I assumed you were being loud on purpose.”

“Oh, I was,” I interject with a smirk. “I heard you, and I thought that would be a fun way for you to find out about the thin walls.”

“You’re fucked up, Torres.”

“I’m just unashamed.” I lean back against my barstool and point my gaze at him. “Why would I be?”

He tries to hide it, but I feel the heat from his eyes as they leer over me. When he realizes what he’s doing, he quickly clears his throat and rights himself.

Was Ari just checking me out?

“Right,” he stammers. “You wouldn’t need to be ashamed about that.”

“Exactly,” I concur. “Nothing wrong with being vocal about what I like in the bedroom.”

Ari clears his throat again, and I swear I can almost see the slightest bit of pink tinge his cheeks.

Is he…blushing?

Ari fucking Morgan is blushing as I sit over here talking about sex.

The man has more sex than anyone I know, and yetI’mmaking him uncomfortable.

Gonna add that weapon to my arsenal.

Might be able to have some fun living here, after all.

“So, how awkward was yesterday?” Ella asks before taking a sip of her water.
