My confession still had me dizzy, my blood pumping hard in my veins, regardless of how it had landed.
Lee and I were finally in the same place, and if the world ended tonight, even with all my regrets pestering me in the background, my life would be complete and worth it all.
Quiet cheering broke out across the room as the owner descended from the stage. I hadn’t heard the rest of what he’d said, but I felt the applause as every cell in my body screamedfinally.
“How fast can you walk in those heels?”
“How fast? Where are we going?”
“Our hotel room. When we get up, don’t run, but walk as fast as you can.”
I stood from my seat, following Lee to the elevators. We didn’t speak or look at each other as we stepped onto the crowded car. I stuck close to Lee as he pressed the button for eleven. After a very long ride and stop on every floor, I followed Lee off the elevator to room 1137. He scanned his phone over the lock, and once it clicked, he held the door open for me to walk through.
“Aren’t we going to miss dinner?—”
Before I knew it, his hand was in my hair while he lifted me up by the waist and pinned me against the wall, capturing my mouth in a frenzied, desperate kiss.
“We have to go back,” he murmured against my lips as we stumbled over to the king-sized bed. “But I couldn’t wait,” he panted, his eyes feral as he slid his hands up my thighs. “It’s going to be quick, but we have all night later.”He dipped his fingers inside my panties and groaned. “Wet already for me?” A hint of a smile ghosted his lips.
“That suit and that kiss,” I said, breathless. “I’m only human.”
He smiled, finally. A wide, beautiful smile that was all for me.Hewas all for me.
“Like I said, this is going to be quick and maybe a little rough.” He rested his forehead on mine. “Is that okay?”
“Don’t threaten me with a good time, Doc,” I teased, helping him take off his belt.
Once his pants dropped with a soft swish onto the carpet, he hooked his fingers into my panties and slid them down my legs.
“Wait,” I said, pulling at his tie when he stood. “Didn’t you say this tends to be long?” I untied it, letting it fall as I slipped his jacket down his shoulders. “Maybe we had to call home because our kid needed us and it took a while to get off the phone.” I plucked his shirt buttons open one by one as his gaze seared into mine.
“I love that you called her our kid.”
I hadn’t realized the slip. The way Lee’s face lit up made my eyes burn, even while I was so turned on I could barely get my fingers around the last button.
“Don’t get me wrong, I love quick and rough, but does it have to besoquick?” I kissed across the expanse of his chest as his moan vibrated against my lips.
He spun me around before I could get his shirt off.
“I think that’s a great idea,” he rasped in my ear as he pulled the tab on my zipper, the soft whir as he dragged it down kicking up my pulse even more. “I definitely have the world’s hottest date,” he said, kissing down my back before he unhooked my bra.
We’d been having a lot of sex lately, but this was already different. The sneaking away definitely made it seem hotter and forbidden, but after two big declarations, mine only sinking in halfway with Lee, I wasn’t going to be the same when we sat back at the table tonight. I was handing Lee the last piece of my soul.
“I love you so fucking much,” he murmured against my skin and dove into my neck, his hands squeezing my breasts as his erection grew harder against my back. “Get on the bed and spread your legs for me.”
I climbed onto the bed, wearing nothing but the pendant he’d given me tonight while he snaked his hand under my waist and drew me closer.
“Hold on,” he whispered, both of us groaning as he slid into me.
It was supposed to be fast, but the pace was so slow it was maddening. Lee inched in and out, hooking my leg over his hip as we rocked together.
“Wait,” I said, panting as I pushed against his shoulders.
“Wait again? You’re killing me.”
I flipped us over and got on top. I moved my hips, wanting him deeper and harder and I couldn’t get enough. Lee’s face was a mix of crazy lust and elated surprise.
“You’re so beautiful, I can’t take it,” he said, locking eyes with me while he coasted his hands over my breasts and down my stomach.
