Torn Between The Carter Brothers

6: Getting To Know Each Other

“That’s ridiculous and we both know it! Why would he come in here without knocking? And we’ll also lock the door.” I informed him, watching as he slowly sat up, which drew my focus to the fact that he was shirtless and only in a pair of some low slugged pants.

“Bunny, my brother suspects that this relationship is fake, so I can’t put it past him that he won’t try to come check if we’re not sleeping in the same bed during the middle of the night. He has spare keys to all doors here, so he can definitely do that,” he explained and I let out a sigh while dragging a hand across my face.

Again, when I agreed to come here with a fake boyfriend, it wasn’t with someone who I expected to share the bed with.

Since I didn’t have any other argument, I ruminate through my bag, pulled out my sleeping outfit and disappeared into the bathroom to get changed. When I reappeared, he was laying in bed again, his arms underneath his head as his eyes tracked all of my movements, making me a little uncomfortable, but also making my skin feel impossibly tight underneath.

When I approached the bed, a grin was tugging at his lips as his eyes slowly raked over my body.

“Cute.” He stated and I blushed furiously, knowing I was anything but cute in the large shirt I had on right now, and the baggy pants I chose to pair it with at the last moment. I usually paired the shirt with a pair of shorts, but now that I’d not be spending the night alone like I had initially hope, I had to quickly improvise.

After that, I was clearing my throat once in stood at the left side of the bed.

“So, this is how we’ll sleep then. You’ll sleep on that side and stay on your own side throughout the night.” I pointed out, still unable to believe that I was presently sharing a room with a man tonight, much less one I met a few hours ago, who had kissed me more times than I’ve been kissed in my entire life.

“Okay, bunny,” he drawled lazily and I rolled my eyes as I glared at him.

“Can you not call me that in private? We’re not in public so using the nickname is kind of pointless.” I pointed out but he waved me off while shaking his head.

“But it’s not. I need to get used to calling you that, and you need to get used to being called that as well. Think of it as practice.” as he explained, I folded my arms and scoffed.

“Maybe find another nickname? This one sucks, and it sounds very lame.”

He arched a brow at me, his lips twitching. “Oh, is it now? And what kind of nickname would you prefer?”

shrugged my shoulders. “something powerful and dangerous,

adorable like you are.” He pointed out, and I did try this time,
