Chapter 98

June's POV

We turned the bath into a shower and cleaned ourselves off after that. I discovered just how difficult it was to get cake and frosting out of my hair (incredibly difficult), and Zed pretty much just watched me with a sexy smirk that made me want to punch him or kiss him.

Or maybe both.

After we were clean, Zed headed downstairs to heat some food while I stepped into my room to change. Everything I had with me was still in my carry-on, and still dirty because I’d been hiding away for so long. I contemplated going into the other room and stealing one of Zed’s shirts, but that felt like… girlfriend.

Though technically, I had just agreed to be his girlfriend.

I wasn’t sure whether to cringe or grin at the thought.

The towel was still around me as I paced the room a couple of times, trying to make up my mind. Usually, I was pretty decisive, but all of the mate and girlfriend stuff was new and went against every rule I’d made for myself.
