Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 152

Joshua stood close behind Allison, wrapping his arms snugly around her waist. "Allie, I've got you," he whispered softly.

Allison felt a bit awkward; she'd never needed help just to freshen up before. She grabbed her cup, filled it with water, and squeezed out some toothpaste. Whenever she traveled, she always packed her own toiletries and disposable bed linens.

As she brushed her teeth, Joshua stayed right behind, his arms still around her. In the mirror, their bodies seemed perfectly matched.

She glanced at his reflection, noticing two dark reddish hickeys on his neck, a reminder of their passionate night together. As she recalled those intimate moments, her cheeks flushed a rosy pink.

Joshua caught the change in her expression and smiled. "What's on your mind?" he asked.

"Nothing," Allison replied quickly, her eyes darting away, feeling a little guilty for getting caught up in her thoughts.
