From Best Friend To Fiancé (Savannah and Roman) novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327

He exhaled sharply. As if I was something exhausting. A task. A chaos he did not request.

“Elizabeth, I am about to take a shower,” he said, tone dry. “You need to leave.”

I didn’t move. “I don’t see how that concerns me.”

“I’m about to get naked, darling. Now go.”

My throat tightened. Heat shot down my spine. My entire body went still. There was a pause where my mind didn’t think. It just reacted. My tongue slipped out instinctively to wet my suddenly dry lips.

His eyes flicked down and back up. Slow. Deliberate. Knowing.

A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. “You are one naughty little lady, aren’t you?” His voice dropped lower.

I scoffed, though it sounded weak. “What do I care if you get naked? I’m staying right here. You can strip if you want. I don’t care. Your

nakedness isn’t going to affect me because I’ve seen plenty of naked men to last me a lifetime, Reese.” Lie. Obvious lie.

I’ve only seen naked men in movies and TV shows and exotic magazines I consume. Or even the few adult videos I’ve watched to feed my

curiosity on intercourse and the male anatomy.

Somehow, it felt like Reese knew I was lying. I could tell. The entire room knew it.

His smile widened. Not sweet. Sharp. “If you say so.”

He didn’t rush. Reese had no intention to. He stepped backward while keeping his eyes locked on mine. His fingers moved to his belt buckle. The metal clicked. The sound was louder than it should have been. He slid the belt free, dropped it on the bed. Then his fingers

went to the zipper.

Time stretched thin. I blinked twice in rapid succession, my lips parting. Something fluttered low in my stomach. Something warm. Something terrifying.

Then the pants fell.

And Reese, in one smooth motion, stripped the final barrier between me and the man I had been obsessively wanting since the moment I first laid eyes on him.

My breath left me in a single, soundless choke. “Oh my fucking God,” I whispered to myself.

Heat flooded my face, my neck, the tips of my ears. My heartbeat ricocheted against my ribs like it was trying to escape my body. My fingers curled tight around my own arms to keep them from doing something insane. Like reaching. Touching. Feeling.

Reese didn’t move. He didn’t cover himself. He didn’t shy away. He stood there like a challenge.

Say you’re not affected. Say it. Go on. Lie again.

The room suddenly felt too small. My skin felt too tight. My body felt foreign. I was aware of every heartbeat, every inhale, every thought.

He tilted his head. “Everything alright, darling?”

I couldn’t speak for a moment. My mouth opened. No sound. Then I nodded. My eyes stayed glued to that part.

Reese’s smile deepened. Victory, “You were saying?” he murmured. “Something about being unaffected?”

I swallowed. It sounded loud. Embarrassing. My face burned hotter.

I should have looked away. I should have turned. I should have left. But I didn’t.
