“Thanks.”
“You know,” I said as we pulled apart. “You remind me of those strawberry candies we used to eat as kids.”
Liam barked out a laugh. “Strawberry Bon Bons?”
“Yeah!”
“How so?”
“You’re all hard and unapproachable on the outside, but soft and sweet on the inside.”
Liam shook his head, but he couldn’t shake the grin. “You’re such a goof.”
“It’s why you keep me around.”
I gave Liam one last wave before walking into the hotel lobby and finding my way to Damien’s room.
The moment I opened the door, I relaxed. Breathing in deeply, his scent lingered on everything.
I sat down on the edge of the bed and kicked off the heeled sandals I’d worn. I blew out a breath and leaned against the pillows. Exhaustion settled over me, making my limbs feel like 2-ton weights. The jet lag was kicking in.
I gave in, letting my eyelids fall closed while my breathing evened out, and before I realized it, I’d fallen asleep.
I moaned, waking only a little as I became aware of the pleasure my body wanted. I’d had plenty of wet dreams before, most happening recently and starring a certain sexy redhead. But this was real.
My clit throbbed, and I tried to move to touch myself, but my arms were still heavy from sleep.
But Damien knew what I needed without words, and I groaned as he pushed his fingers inside me.
I felt kisses and little nibbles along my thighs as I moved against Damien’s hand. His fingers felt much better than mine had earlier.
Since I was still half asleep, my orgasm climbed faster than usual, and I came harder. Toe-curling, leg-straightening, hard.
I tried to fall back asleep when Damien moved up my body, fully clothed.
Why did he have clothes on? He should always be naked…
He placed his lips to my ear. “God, you are so sexy. Even when you are trying to fall back asleep on me.”
I tried to open my eyes, but they scratched like sandpaper.
He nipped my earlobe as he growled. “I need you to stay awake, baby girl. Just for a little while.” He ground his hips against my core, sending tiny shock waves of ecstasy up my body and into my breasts.
That was enough incentive for me to pry my eyes open.
“Hi,” I said with a sleepy smile. I could wake up like this every morning. With him over me, waiting to claim my body.
“Hey.”
“Welcome back.”
“And that is one hell of a welcome.” He cocked his head. “Someone sent me the hottest messages I’ve ever received, only to find out I was too late.”
“Shoulda, coulda, woulda.”
“I haven’t been able to think about anything else since I read your text. That’s cruel, Cay. And I wanted to show you just how crazy you drove me, just how much I needed to feel your wet pussy around my dick. But then I come in here, and you are sleeping and so fucking adorable. I almost didn’t wake you.”
“I’m glad you did.”
