Chapter 123

Lizzy's POV

My eyes started to close, but I shook myself awake.

Shower.

I needed to shower, then I could sleep.

Forcing myself out of bed, I set my feet on the floor and grabbed the nightstand, swearing under my breath when I almost fell over. My legs were like jelly.

I carefully made my way across the room, hands out at my sides, and my knees bent a little like I was ready to catch a basketball or something.

Pulling the door open, I stumbled across the hall. One of my knees decided to give out when I’d almost reached the bathroom, and I went down with another muttered curse.

Warm, strong arms wrapped around my waist before I hit the ground.

“Easy,” Elliot murmured.

That was the moment I realized why his ears had been red.

I was naked.

Absolutely, completely naked.

And while I had a kid, he was doubtlessly a virgin.

Shiiiit.

An inward groan almost escaped, but I held it back, mumbling, “Thanks.”
