And that’s when I heard a scream come from her room. Without a thought, I move toward the connecting door praying that she didn’t lock it earlier this evening. Plowing through the door, my feet stop short at the sight in front of me.
The only light in the room comes from the soft glow of the bathroom light which illuminates a sprawled-out Chloe. She’s writhing on her bed in nothing but a lace nightgown—one I can only imagine is soft to the touch. Rose gold headphones sit on her head as her hand kneads her breast before she tweaks a nipple while the other hand uses a—oh god, is that a vibrator?
Oh fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
“Is she—“
Hudson starts but I quickly turn and push him from getting a view of Chloe. I need to hightail it out of here before she sees me.
A shriek fills the air as movement flashes from behind me. “Cody!” I catch something purple in the air as I hear the loud thump of something hitting the ground. I’m pretty sure Chloe just chucked the vibrator she had pressed up against her pussy at me.
Fuck. Me.
“What the hell are you doing in here? Don’t you knock?”
I risk a peek over my shoulder and see Chloe has covered her near-naked body with her sheets. Her chest rises and falls as her already pink cheeks flame brighter.
“I thought you were in trouble.”
“Trouble?!” She shrieks.
“We heard you scream. I-I-I don’t know what I thought, but I was worried and—”
“You just barged in here?” She runs her hand through her mussed-up hair, and I’m instantly wishing it was from me. I remember how soft the tendrils felt as they slid through my fingers.
Shit, forget replacing her hand, I want to be the one making her scream loud enough it alerts the neighbors. I want to feel her tight heat and bring her to the brink of orgasm.
“Wait? Did you just say you heard me?” Her eyes widen as mortification spreads over her blushed cheeks.
Scraping my hand down my face, I nod. “I was walking by and heard you scream. I thought you were in trouble.”
Her eyes close tight as if she’s trying to erase this moment. Truth be told, I’d like to erase it too. The reasons for Chloe to hate me keep stacking up.
“I’m sorry,” I say as I turn on my heels and leave the room, closing both doors.
“Was she just doing what I think she was just doing?” Hudson asks as he tries not to let the laugh slip free.
“We aren’t ever talking about this again.”
Climbing into bed, I lay there as sleep never comes.
The image of Chloe burned fresh in my brain.
My Wildflower is perfect.
Me: Cody walked in on me having a *moment* to myself.
Brynn: Like a self-care night?
Me: I mean…kind of.
Brynn: OHHHHH! Hahahahaha like you were giving yourself some self-care *wink*
Me: How much do you think an Uber will cost to get back to CTU from College Station?
Brynn: OMG stop!
Brynn: How did it even happen?
