        As the woman turned around, Alex’s eyebrows rose slightly in surprise. God, she was beautiful. Staring for only a moment, he quickly dropped his gaze, his mind registering only afterward the blush that was coloring her cheeks. “Yeah, you know, it’s something about these doors.. Mine almost did the same thing to me earlier.” Luckily he’d had his keys on him so he walked right in with no problem. Clearly that situation was very different from this girl’s. “I’m Alex, by the way. Just moved in.” He was rambling, a nervous habit that often presented itself when he was in the company of beautiful women. He was doing well to speak at all, considering her lack of clothing. “You know what..” A thought struck and he pulled his t-shirt off, holding it out to her. “Here. Sorry if it’s a little warm.. I was unpacking.”

        Peri appreciated the fact that he averted his eyes. She wasn’t exactly self-conscious about her body, but in this particular case, it was the vulnerability more than anything else getting to her. She also appreciated his remark about his door doing the same thing, but really, nothing said could detract from the impressively awkward situation she had put herself in. “I’m Peri,” She replied, giving him a small smile. “Well, Hyperion. But I usually go by Peri.” An eyebrow rose just slightly when Alex took his shirt off, but she still took it appreciatively, pulling it over her head. “Warm or not, it’s better than standing here in my knickers.” Her gaze trailed down his body, lingering for perhaps a second too long before she cleared her throat and looked back up at his face. “Any way I could use your phone? My mum has my spare key.”

   Peri tugged at the hem of the t-shirt for a moment, just making sure that her arse was covered. She was being silly,...
