Chapter 16-1

I took a long shower. I needed time away from Mikko to calm myself down.

I knew that Mikko knows exactly what he does to me.

"If you don't get out of that shower soon, I might just get in there with you."

I was startled by Mikko's voice, but I knew that he didn't see me jump.

"I'm getting out." I sighed and turned off the warm water. I reached out to grab the towel and couldn't find it. I opened up the glass door, getting out some of the fog and clearing it into the room just to find Mikko smiling while holding the towel on his hooked pinky just out of my reaching range. "This isn't funny, Mikko," I chastised. His grin broadened. "I think it's pretty funny."

"You're not the one standing here cold wet and naked."

His grin took on a more wolfish nature that made it a smirk. "I can make you hot wet and naked."

"Ha," I said without amusement. "Now hand me my towel."
