Me: Yeah, don’t worry. Enjoy your night with Poppy.

He texted back a winky emoji.

Lucky bastard. He had the girl of his dreams in bed with him.

I had—

“B-bathroom.” Sofia bolted upright, a strange gurgling sound coming out of her as she staggered off the bed, almost losing her footing.

Without thinking, I scooped her up and rushed her into the bathroom, gently lowering her down onto the tiled floor.

“Oh Go—” She started puking again, the sounds making my own stomach churn.

Grabbing a small hand towel, I dampened it under the faucet and crouched down beside her. Gently pulling her hair over one shoulder, I placed it on the back of her neck.

“That feels good,” she groaned, reaching up to pull the flush.

“What do you need?”

“To never drink again.”

I smiled. “Famous last words.”

“I don’t think I have anything left to puke up.”

“You want a shower?”

“Yes. God, yes. But I don’t think I can stand; my whole body is trembling.”

Scanning the bathroom set up, I rose to my feet. “Don’t move.”

“Cole, what are—” Sofia groaned again, dropping her head onto her forearm over the toilet bowl.

Shucking out of my hoodie and T-shirt, I kicked off my sneakers and hit the shower button. “I’m going to help you up, okay?” She nodded, letting me pull her to her feet. “Arms up,” I said.

Sofia complied, letting me strip her out of her puke-splattered clothes.

“Hold tight.”

Before she could protest, I scooped her up and carried her into the walk-in shower.

“Cole, what the hell?” Her protests were drowned out by the stream of water blasting down on us.

“Think you can stand now?” I asked her, and she gazed up at me through surprised eyes.

“Yeah.”

I gently lowered her to the floor.

Reaching around her, I grabbed the mini bottle of complimentary shower gel and flipped the cap, squeezing some into my palm.

“Cole, you don’t need to—”

“Let me take care of you.”

The fight in her eyes flickered out as she nodded slowly.

It was impossible to keep my eyes off her body. Even though she was still in her underwear, the way the water ran off her ample curves was enough to make my dick ache behind the confines of my jeans which were now plastered to my legs.
