He abruptly pulls back, and I almost fall forward, following him for more kisses.
“You make me lose my head, Ains. We should probably go out to the main space and make the rounds,” he murmurs before pressing one last kiss to my lips before stepping fully away and adjusting his suit jacket to cover the front of his pants.
I have a very hard time holding in my laughter as he adjusts the crotch of his pants too.
“This situation is your fault, you know.” He chuckles as he leads me out of the room.
“Yeah, I’m mentally giving myself a high five right now.” I smirk over at him as he shakes his head with mirth.
We’re instantly bombarded when we leave the room by people wanting to talk more with Ledger. I try to move to the side to let him work, but he softly places his hand on my back, silently holding me in place. When I look up at him, the subtle shake of his head tells me he wants me to stay. And right now? After the kiss we just shared? I’ll do anything he wants.
It takes the better part of an hour for the constant string of people to finally slow down. When we’re completely alone, Ledger’s shoulders slump with exhaustion and I can see how the past couple of hours have worn on him. I know there is a little more of the conference we were planning to attend, but all I want to do is take him to our room and let him unwind, whatever that looks like.
“We can skip the rest of the day if you want to,” I offer.
He gives me a small smile. “I’d love to take that offer, but I need to network as much as possible. I don’t want all the incredible work you put into that presentation to go to waste because I slacked off.”
I’m about to rebuke him, but he grabs my hand and squeezes it.
“Take the compliment, Ains,” he says with a little rumble in his voice, sparking a trail of goosebumps where he touches my hand.
Fuck, I don’t know if I’ve ever been as affected by a man as I am by Ledger.
“Well, I’ll follow your lead.”
We stayed at the conference for most of the day, and I’m wiped out. Who knew a group of landscapers could put on such an intensive conference?
When we finally make it to our room, I collapse on the bed and let out an exaggerated sigh.
“We can rain-check dinner.” Ledger’s deep voice pierces through my tired haze.
“Nope, just give me five minutes,” I mumble into the bed.
His chuckle sends goosebumps down my arms.
“I’m going to jump in the shower really quickly, but we’ve got plenty of time before dinner, so there’s no rush to get ready.” His soothing voice gets closer and closer as he talks, and before I realize it, I feel his lips on my temple as he whispers, “Thank you for today.”
And then he’s gone.
I lie there for far too long, or maybe it’s only a couple of minutes. I’ve completely lost track of time at this point. But what I do know is Ledger just turned the shower on and my libido has suddenly kicked into high gear, imagining him stripping out of his suit that he looks far too good in.
I roll over onto my back and contemplate my next move. I know we talked about going slow and really getting to know each other before jumping into the physical stuff, but fuck if I don’t want to throw that all out the window right now.
Hearing a soft groan from behind the bathroom door practically makes the decision for me.
I get up and make my way to the bathroom, stripping out of my favorite suit as I go. I crack the door open in only my bra and panties and see Ledger’s head thrown back under the spray of the shower. His hand is running up and down his torso as the other hand rests on his thigh, forcing my eyes to wander to the erection he’s sporting.
“Are you just going to stand there, or did you want to join me?” His gravelly voice jolts me out of my dick stupor.
“Umm…”
“I promise nothing will happen if you don’t want it to. We can just shower together and save water.” His smirk is devious, and I’m absolutely sunk for this man in this moment.
Fuck it.
“And what if I want something to happen?”
I open the door fully as I walk in and unhook my bra. The straps trail down my arms before falling to the floor in front of the shower. Ledger’s gaze travels the path my fingers take, watching them hook into my panties as they slip down my legs. His hand casually grips his cock as he moves further back in the shower so I can come in.
