“Umm,” Jodi said, rubbing her nose to hide her smile because she was pretty sure that he wouldn’t appreciate it at the moment, “what exactly are you doing?”
“Condoms,” Danny bit out, panting as he continued to wrestle with his pants.
“What about them?”
“Need them!”
“You didn’t bring any with you?” she asked, realizing that he hadn’t planned on making love to her on this trip and not really sure how she felt about that.
“No,” he said, pausing in mid-wrestle with his shirt to shoot her a hopeful look, “did you?”
Biting her lip, Jodi shook her head because like him, she hadn’t planned on making love him, mostly because she’d expected to end up staying in the room next to his parents. “No.”
“Shit!” Danny snarled, returning his attention back to the wrestling match with his clothes.
“Ummm, do you want some help?” Jodi offered, stepping out of the shower as she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself.
Getting to his feet, he pointed a finger at her and said, “Stay here.”
“But-”
“Stay here and don’t get dressed,” Danny said firmly as he grabbed his shirt and backed up towards the door. “Stay naked.”
“Umm, okay?” Jodi said, watching as he reached back, opened the door and stepped out into the hallway.
“Naked!”
Sighing, Jodi walked over to the bed, picked up the remote and dropped down onto the soft mattress with a groan, wondering how long it would take before Danny realized that he’d left his wallet and shoes behind.
Chapter 31
“That will be twelve dollars, sir,” the front desk clerk said with a warm smile as she placed two packs of condoms on the counter.
“Shit,” Danny growled, startling the clerk as he frantically searched his pockets for his wallet. “I forgot my wallet in my room.”
“If you have your ID or your room key, I can charge the purchase to your room,” she offered, smile back in place.
“I don’t have my wallet,” Danny admitted, rubbing the back of his neck.
“If you’d like to go back upstairs and get your wallet, I can set these items aside for you,” she suggested, already picking up the small boxes and placing them on the counter behind her.
He stood there, staring intently at the condoms, already knowing that if he went upstairs to get his wallet that he wasn’t coming back down. Jodi had given him the go-ahead and he was too tired to fight it anymore. He wanted her so fucking badly and he couldn’t wait any longer, but he couldn’t give in without a condom.
Unless…
Maybe she was on birth control, Danny wondered hopefully, but just as quickly dismissed the possibility. She’d only been with one man before him, a fucking loser, but it had been a while since she’d had sex and hadn’t had much of a reason to use birth control. He also didn’t think that he had enough self-control to walk away if she wasn’t.
“Hey, asshole!”
He sighed with relief as he turned around and found Aidan coming towards him. “Thank fucking God,” Danny said, moving to meet his brother halfway.
“Everyone’s been calling you since yesterday. You were supposed to meet us at the park-Hey! What the hell are you doing?” Aidan demanded when Danny grabbed him by the arm, turned him around and snagged his wallet.
“Thanks,” Danny said, pulling out two twenties before he tossed the wallet back to his brother.
“Danny!”
He ignored his brother and returned to the small hotel store and grabbed a couple of bottles of water, a few protein bars, and a couple of cereal bars for Jodi and headed back to the small counter. He placed the items on the counter and stood there, waiting impatiently for the clerk to finish with the couple that she was checking in so that he could pay for his stuff and go upstairs to Jodi.
