Amara’s scream had turned into a whimper as I crashed through the door of her bedroom. I saw her sit bolt upright and nearly jump out of her skin as I spun from corner to corner. There was nobody else in here – and judging by her reaction, it had been a nightmare.
“I’m sorry!” she wailed, confusion in her voice. She was covering her face from the glaring light off the bottom rail of my pistol. I slapped the light switch on the wall, then clicked off the weaponlight and lowered my sidearm. She lowered her hands slowly and blinked a few times – only for her hands to shoot back up and clap over her mouth. Her eyes were as big as saucers. After a beat I realized that I was nearly naked – I slept in a pair of tiny workout shorts, and hadn’t wasted time putting on anything else.
Her hands remained over her mouth as I saw her eyes sweep up and down my body. She was rapidly turning beet red. I felt a flush creep over me, though I had no idea why – I was certainly no stranger to women seeing me in my underwear, and I knew how good my body looked. So what was different now?
