Chapter 4

• Sydney POV
• I shook my head and patted the front of his Jacket. “Hey,” she said softly. “You’re drunk, That’s why you’re propositioning me—”
• I didn’t know what else to tell him, that was the only thing I could say to him, he had to be very drunk to be attracted to me sexually.
• “It’s true,” He said. His arm—strong and firm—went to my waist and he pulled me against him, close enough that my breasts pushed up against his chest.
• “I wanted you and I told you from the beginning but you didn’t want me, I had to ease into it”
• I gasped, surprised at the feel of his mouth against mine, I . . hadn’t expected that. And yet, I was filled with the desire for more. The kiss had been way too brief.
• His thumb grazed my lower lip, his gaze on my face. “I want you so much I can hardly stand it. It’s not just because you happen to be here and I’m horny. It’s because it’s you here, you are the one pressed up against my chest, and you make my dick hard every time you smile, Will you stay the night with me?”
• I gazed up at him, considering. From the way he watched my mouth as l licked my lips, to the way he pulled my body against his, it truly did seem as if He was attracted to me
• And really . . . what would it hurt to stay the night with Him? He made it clear that this would be a fling. A one-time thing.
• A gorgeous guy wanted me for just one night of hot sex? No strings attached, no worries, no relationships, no nothing?
• How was there possibly a downside to this?
• Because I wanted this man, and he wanted me.
• What could go wrong with that?
• So I bit my lip, leaned forward, and pressed my mouth to his in a silent answer to his question.
• kissing him was better than ice cream. Sweet, creamy chocolate ice cream with hot fudge dripping down the sides? Tasty, but not nearly as appealing to my senses as the warm breath of this man kissing me, his tongue slicking against my own in response to my kiss, his mouth opening wider to accept my tongue.
• The groan he made when our mouths locked, and the way his hand stole down to my ass and clenched me against him as if she were beautiful and sexy and he wanted me like he wanted no other woman.
• And when my mouth parted from his, a small, dreamy sigh escaped me.
• I wasn’t sexual but he made me feel that way like he wanted my body and he couldn’t get enough of kissing me.
• He made me feel like kissing me was better than breathing.
• “Want to go inside?” He murmured and cupped my face with his long fingers.
• I almost forgot that we were outside and I shouldn’t be doing this with him, I barely knew this man.
• “I shouldn’t,” I answered immediately
• “The question wasn’t whether or not you should, but if you wanted to,” he said, and one of his fingers traced my full lips again.
• I took that fingertip between my teeth and licked the tip. “More than anything.”
• “Then let’s not overthink it. Let’s just feel for a night.”
• That sounded kind of wonderful. I nodded and he gave me another quick kiss, then took me by the hand and led me back into the hotel room. He flicked off lights as he went, leading me through the maze of rooms.
• And then we were in the opulent bedroom. The walls were a soft warm wood, the drapes a pale cream color. The bed was a sumptuous king with a quilted white headboard and dozens of pillows tossed onto it. It looked like something out of a dream. “This is like no hotel room I’ve ever stayed in before.”
• I had to say that, this was far better than any hotel I had ever been in, I hadn’t been in a lot of them.
• “It’s nice, isn’t it? You should see the bathroom.” He said still holding me
• “Can I?”I asked
• He gestured at a door off of the bedroom. “Be my guest.”
• I wandered in and gasped at the sight. It was beyond luxury—a rain shower; a sunken, Matted tub; thick, plush carpets—it had everything. I peeked at a door off to one side and laughed to see exercise equipment. “My goodness. This place is bigger than my apartment.”
• “Mmm. Then I’m glad you’re here to enjoy it.”
• He pulled me against him, pressing my back against his front.
• His arms went around my waist and he nuzzled at my neck, brushing my hair aside and kissing my nape.
• I shivered.
• So I turned around, wrapped my arms around his neck, and pulled him in for a long, scorching kiss. My tongue played against his, then flicked against his lips. “I’ve seen enough in here. I think we should go back to the bedroom.”I was in control of what was happening, I had to be so I wouldn’t feel bad about what I was doing.
• He groaned and gripped my ass in his hands. “I couldn’t agree more.” But he didn’t stop kissing me, Instead, he walked backward in small, slow steps, heading back toward the bedroom. And I giggled against his mouth, still kissing him in return.
• Mouths locked the entire time, we staggered back to the bedroom. I accidentally stepped on his foot and he winced. “Sorry,” I breathed.
• And that was all it took to ruin the mood.
