then took a long, warm shower. Soap led to caresses and caresses to more. I was beginning to think everything with Killian led to more. We were too tired to watch a movie, so we went straight to bed after I braided my hair to ensure the wet mass wouldn’t dry hairy scary. Killian patiently watched me and then as soon as we climbed into bed, he slowly removed the hair tie and unfurled my handiwork.
    “Argh, you must like the Medusa look on me.”
    “Hmm,” he said tiredly and pulled me in close.
    His musky, just-washed scent surrounded me as I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
    The alarm woke me up.
    “It’s Saturday,” I mumbled.
    “You don’t run on Saturdays?”
    I rolled over expecting him to next to me, but Killian was standing beside the bed dressed in sweats. I squinted with tired eyes and noticed the brush in his hand.
    “Sit up.”
    I tried to pull the sheet over my upper body, but he stopped me. I shouldn’t have bothered, but I chalked it up to sleepiness and not thinking clearly. I sat forward and Killian ran the brush through my hair.
    “You have a few interesting kinks.” I could hear the laughter in his voice as he continued with sure strokes, obviously trying to get my hair to lie down properly.
    I laughed, but wanted to kill him at the same time. “I have interesting kinks? Nearly naked when in the house, sex in the rain, no hair ties, and alarms that go off on Saturday mornings… you, sir, have kinks.”
    He gathered my hair behind my neck while another rumble of laughter escaped him. “Those are rules, not kinks.”
    “Rules?” He was joking, wasn’t he?
    He pretended I hadn’t spoken. “I’m changing one rule and letting you have a hair tie while you run.”
    He placed the hair tie in question around my hair.
    I so needed to switch gears. “I’m running?”
    “Would you normally run?”
    “Yes.” I couldn’t help the doubtful sound in my voice.
    “I had my trainer map a course for you with a distance of fifteen miles. There’s a paper on the kitchen counter you can take with you.”
    I fell in love all over again. “You’re not coming with me?”
    “I have a game tomorrow and don’t need to be lying in a hospital bed. I’ll be in the gym working man weights while you’re gone.”
    “Man weights?”
    “Yes. You don’t want me all skinny and wasted away to nothing do you?” he said teasingly.
    I let pretend angst enter my voice. “I’m wasted away to nothing?”
    He pinched my hip, really not managing to pull any skin. “I have no idea where you put the food you consume. I’ve never seen a woman eat the way you do.”
    Okay, now I was feeling some genuine angst. “You’d prefer I ate salad.”
    “Fuck, no. Please eat. It drives me crazy that women don’t eat, but seriously you could gain weight and still be skinny.”
    I had body issues… his words hurt. I looked away, but his fingers lifted my chin and turned my face so I had to meet his eyes.
    “You are incredibly sexy—every thin, tall, gorgeous inch and I wouldn’t change a thing. But, woman, you can eat.”
    He kissed me, morning breath and all. He tasted like coffee, so I was guessing he’d been up for a while. He pulled back slightly.
    “Are you running?” He slid his hand over my cheek, caressing his thumb across my jaw.
    “Yes,” I breathed.
    “I’ll meet you in the kitchen.”
    Damn. He walked away. I put my running clothes on, looked in the mirror, and wet my hair to get rid of the kinks before walking to the kitchen.
    The map was amazing, and my heart skipped a beat when I thought about what he’d done.
    Killian followed me outside after I drank a large glass of water. He hit the button on the controller in his hand and the front gates opened.
    “Hurry back.” He kissed me quickly then walked inside the house.
    His neighborhood was incredible. Low-hanging trees, mega-mansions, and amazing cars parked in long, gated driveways. For someone like me, I didn’t even know areas like this
