Some days Kyle wished he hadn’t gotten out of bed and up until ten
seconds earlier, he’d believed today was one of them. That was until he came
across a beautiful man in the hallway of his apartment building, wearing
nothing but a book for modesty.
Kyle opened his mouth to say something but the man lifted one finger
against his lips asking for silence. An easy request to grant as Kyle couldn’t think of a single thing to
say. He stood there and blinked, not entirely certain if he was dreaming or
not.
The muffled sound of something smashing against the other side of the
wall caught his attention making Mr. Sexy wince and curse under his breath
before meeting his gaze whispering. “I’d wondered who my new neighbor was, but I didn't expect
to meet you like this.”
Of course you have to have a delicious accent too. For the love of
everything positive in the universe, Kyle, say something! “Wanyuuugh?” Too late, Kyle realized his tongue had managed to stick to
the roof of his mouth. If a massive cavern opened at his feet, he’d quietly
step over the edge to his death because nothing could be worse than the
embarrassment heating his cheeks.
“Adorable,” Mr. Sexy's lips twitched in a half grin. “You wouldn’t
happen to have a towel or even a sock you could spare, would you? It's a little
chilly out here.”
"Uh, yyy-es...ah, in...” Kyle struggled with his keys for a moment,
forgetting which one opened his apartment, before finally picking the right one
and gently unlocking his door. “Do you know what's going on in there?" He
opened the door and stepped out of the way allowing his nude neighbor to enter
first.
“I imagine they are looking for something I no longer have. Given that
fact, I felt it was safer if I hid out here until they left.” His neighbor kept the book in place but walked
across the hall as if there wasn’t a single thing unusual about the situation.
“There’s an afghan on the chesterfie...” His brief grasp of English slipped away when Kyle’s neighbor passed him. His gaze caught the way his back muscles flexed as he moved, a tempting tan line and then the sweetest pale bum. Curved with a light dusting of hair Kyle could easily imagine would feel
incredible under his fingertips,
“You’re quite literally saving my life here, thank you.” His nudist
neighbor dropped the book on the coffee table before reaching for the afghan
and wrapped it around his hips. “My name is Joel, by the way. And you are?”
“Kyuugh.”
Don't stop here!
