BLAINE
Jesus, why did he have to be so damn sexy in the morning? His sexy hair looked in need of a haircut, but it did work on him, in fact, my fingers itched to run through it and wipe away from his forehead. I’d never known that even my soap smelled good on him that it never did on me.
Crap! What in the ever-loving heck happened to me? I’m a single mom for god’s sake. I needed to focus on my son and not to some hot— jerk. A huge jerk who wanted to bury his manhood to anyone had a hole.
I was taken aback by what he said before he left me alone. My room was my little sanctuary, but I couldn’t just push him out even the tension already thickened in the room that made my heartbeat quickened in my chest. Blame it on my dry spell.
Jeez, calm down!
His bright and warm cerulean blue eyes never missed meeting mine. He was playing catch with Ben. Why did he have to be so nice to my son? I didn’t want Ben to feel sad when it was his time to leave. I’m sure Ben would understand if he was not going to see him again, but of course, he would probably ask why he had not seen Xandry around.
I released a shaky sigh and closed the door behind me.
“Is everything okay?” He sauntered closer.
“Yeah, why wouldn’t it be?” I answered flatly.
“You just heaved a sigh, sweetheart.” He looked sincere, brows knitted.
“Don’t sweetheart me, Alexander, twenty-three.” I regretted once those words left my mouth because he just chuckled and shook his head in amusement.
Funny, huh?
“How did you know my age, Blaine Noelle?”
“Jeez, how I hate that name.” I wrinkled my nose in disgust. It just reminded me of my ex who called me Noelle because Blaine was too masculine and plain for him.
“Why? It’s beautiful. You’re just like Saphoera, she doesn’t like her name as well.”
My brow arched. “Saphira? Like from the Eragon?”
“Yeah, but spelled differently.”
“I mean who’s Saphira?”
