"Can you not stare?" I snap at Valen. His roaming gaze made me self-conscious. My body was not what he would be used to, my stomach wasn't flat, my hips had faint stretch marks and my boobs didn't sit perky on my chest anymore. My body was ruined from carrying Valarian. While he stood looking like he just stepped out of a sports magazine all hard chiseled muscle and tan complexion while my skin was pale in comparison and I looked frumpy.
"Does my staring bother you?"
"Ah, yeah. I wouldn't have said it if it didn't," I tell him, turning away from him.
"You have had a baby, that doesn't make you look any less appealing, Everly, so don't shy away from me now," he says, putting his head under the shower spray to rinse the shampoo from his hair.
Easy for him to say, I don't have exes for hi
