Chapter 54

“All your clothes?” I asked. “Even the big robe?”

“Yup, even the big robe. Now that we made it to the main floor, we can use the elevator.”

“True. Are you going to wear any of your clothes?” I now had on four T-shirts.

“Can’t.”

“Because…?”

“I’m not clean. You took a shower.” Finn inhaled as he approached with a navy hoodie. “Mmm. Fresh and clean. I still smell like sex, dirty, sweaty, amazingly wet, musky, and wonderful sex.”

“Mmm. Yeah, you do.”

“Sex we’ll never get to have again unless I can get every single piece of my wardrobe on your person.”

I smiled a moment, but then turned serious, as serious as I could under the circumstances, which was hardly serious at all. “So, now it’s more a contest than a punishment.”

“Things can be two things, Russel, like your butt and my face.”

“True.”

Eventually, I did, in fact, have on most of Finn’s winter clothes.

“Warmer?” he asked.

“Toasty. Your punishment/contest thingy was also caring?”
