said over the phone I’d forgotten was in my hand.
    “What jeans?” I gasped.
    With a lazy curl of his lips, Jase smiled at me.
    “Christ, did you just go double time on the bullet again? Why do you sound out of breath?” Benny asked.
    Because Jase is utterly stupid-making sexy.
    “No. I didn’t. The batteries wore out.” I did that two-can-play-at-this-game thing again.
    I listened to her laugh while I watched Jase’s mouth drop open.
    Take that.
    “What jeans?” I asked again.
    “The ones I gave you.”
    “Those are one size too small.”
    “ Exxxxactly. ”
    I rummaged through my clothes. Jase watched. I found the jeans and held them in front of me. He nodded. I rolled my eyes.
    “They don’t look like me, Benny,” I said.
    “Of course not, Mouse. You actually have great tits and an awesome ass, except no one’s ever seen them.”
    Someone had seen them. And I never wanted him to see them again.
    I slowly closed the door to try on the jeans Benny urged me to wear. Jase’s footsteps retreated after a few pounding heartbeats.
    I got off the phone with Benny, and headed for the bathroom. I needed bubbles and candles and girly things for a change, instead of books, studies and my stupid-ass sweaters.
    I tested the water temperature before slipping into the wet warmth of the tub. It had been a week. Terrified to touch myself, I wondered if I’d ever orgasm again. The water lapped over my hesitant touches. It began to feel good as I gently stroked my clit. With my eyes closed, I thought of nothing, drifting in the warm sea of pleasure.
    It worked. My slit was slick, slippery. I pushed one finger inside and swirled it around before drawing it to the tip of my clit. My toes curled against the tub and my breasts broke the surface. Unbidden thoughts of Jase made me that much hotter. The water waved over my body.
    His husky Texan drawl, his sexy tats, his strong body . . . I arched my back. My nipples pebbled, begging to be sucked. My clit drew up and my labia swelled, but my orgasm remained aggravatingly beyond my reach.
    The door opened. Jase strode inside.
    “Jase!” I gasped.
    “Oh, shit!” he exclaimed.
    He honest-to-God blushed, but he didn’t look away.
    “I’m sorry, I . . . I . . .” he stammered.
    Suddenly I couldn’t stop my climax if I’d tried.
    He fumbled for the door but stopped when my hips broke the water.
    “Ave,” he grunted.
    I came with a cry. My tummy tightened. My body froze. My fingers tunneled, twisted, and curled.
    “Jesus, girl.” Jase sounded hoarse even to my ringing ears.
    “You promised me locked doors.” I sank into the water, my body still shuddering.
    “You didn’t lock it, Ave.” He dragged his fingertips across his jaw. “ Jeeeesus .”
    “I think you should go now.”
    “No shit, right?” He started for his room before swinging around. “Just so you know, that was the sexiest damn thing I’ve ever seen.”
    Jase soundlessly left and shut the door.
    Letting the bathtub drain, I dried off slowly.
    I’d been stuck on the edge of release, unable to get there until Jase walked in. He’d triggered a hot, curling climax, stronger than any I’d felt before.
    I hadn’t felt intruded upon, not by him. His expression had captivated me—lustful and surprised.
    A half hour later, I left my room and he was there again. He was so gorgeous it hurt to look at him sometimes. My breath caught in my throat.
    “Going out?” he asked.
    I knotted my sweater more tightly around myself. “Yes.”
    “Be careful, okay?” Jase brushed his knuckles across my chin before he walked away from me.

Chapter Five
    Jase
     
     
     
    WELL FUCK ME STANDING. It hadn’t exactly been my fault I’d walked in on Ave. Locked doors, right? I’d told her that the first night, and just like that night when I’d wondered what she’d look like all wet and rosy in the bathtub, she more than surpassed my fantasies. She was perfect.
    Her nipples had tipped out of the water, and they were
