” Can you not stare , ” I snapped at Valen . His roaming gaze made me self conscious . My body was not what he would be used to , my stomach wasn’t flat , my hips had faint stretch marks and my boobs didn’t sit perky on my chest anymore . My body was ruined from carrying Valarian . While he stood looking like he just stepped out of a sports magazine all hard chiseled muscle and tan complexion while my skin was pale in comparison and I looked frumpy . ” Does my staring bother you ? ” ” Ah , yeah . I wouldn’t have said it if it didn’t , ” I tell him , turning away from him .

” You have had a baby , that doesn’t make you look any less appealing , Everly , so don’t shy away from me now , ” he says , putting his head under the shower spray t o rinse the shampoo from his hair . Easy for him to say , I don’t have ex’s for him to compare himself against . Whereas I have seen the girls in the papers that he kept on his arm , even met one of them . As if I wouldn’t feel inadequate compared to their perky fit bodies while I looked like used goods .

Valen leisurely moved about as he got out , uncaring that he was standing around naked in front of me but unlike him , I averted my gaze instead of gawking and kept my eyes strictly above his pecs .

Just move aside , ” I tell him . ” Always so serious ,

” And you are always annoying me . Please move , ” ” ” I will , but you have to sleep in the bed with me , ” I shake my head , and he folds his arms across his chest and looks down a t me . ” No , ” ” Fine , we will sleep here then , ” he shrugs before leaning against the door and with a devious smile on his lips , and I glared at him . ” Fine , but I want the bathtub . You can have the floor , ” I huffed before turning around and walking over to it . Somehow I don’t think his OCD ass would cope with sleeping on the wet floor . ” Are you really that bloody stubborn ? ” Valen asked . ” Yep , ” I tell him , popping the P. Valen growled behind me , and I climbed into the bathtub . I have slept in worse places , but I know he hasn’t . He would not last long . ” Everly ! ” ” Valen ! ” I retorted .

you look at that we have something in common , and you are sleeping with me , ” Valen growled while I struggled to

to pull me from the tub . He laughed before tossing me over his shoulder . I banged on his back before digging my elbows into it . ” You can be a jerk , ‘ ” ” Imagine Valarian’s little face when he finds you in my bed instead of on the 11 couch , ‘ ” That is guilt – tripping and you know it , don’t use our
