They stopped at the edge of the pier without a word.
Roxxy leaned against the railing and took in the sight of the river at night.
Myles slipped behind her and trapped her. He bent down and pushed his face into the crook of her neck. He nuzzled it, and her head fell to the side to grant him permission.
He closed the gap between them, and her heart raced at the feeling of something hard resting on her ass.
“I think this is much better than me embarrassing myself in there trying to dance.” His lips brushed her ear.
“I don’t know,” she teased. “It would have been hilarious to see you dance.” She squealed as his hand came up and tickled her side. She broke his hold on her and turned around to face him.
His hooded eyes were locked on her.
“What are we doing, Myles?” she whispered.
She had to be going crazy.
She was seriously considering inviting him back to her hotel.
He leaned closer to her, and her heart thundered. His hand rested on the small of her back and brought her flush against him.
“We are enjoying each other’s company,” he answered.
She slid her hands up his hard chest and bit back a groan at the size, strength, and power of the man holding her as if she were a delicate flower. He made her feel safe and protected. Her hand continued up to the back of his neck, and she guided his head down to her.
Tomorrow she’d blame her actions on the excellent food, wine, and fresh air.
She wanted Myles Burton.
His lips covered hers, and she was lost.
Myles drove his tongue inside her mouth, commanding the kiss. She pushed closer to him, a moan slipping from her. She tightened her hands around his neck. She refused to budge.
God, he can kiss.
She tore her lips from his. Both of them were left breathing hard. Her core clenched from the heat in his gaze.
“Want to go get a nightcap at my hotel?” It was her chicken way of asking him to take her back and ravish her.
Her body was going haywire at the moment, and she needed Myles to soothe the ache between her legs.
His hand came up and cupped her face. He pressed a hard kiss to her lips. “Let’s get out of here.”
Chapter 8
Myles sensed Roxxy’s nervousness. He could tell it had taken a lot for her to drum up the nerve to ask him back to her hotel. That was why he’d tried to make her feel comfortable in the car once they’d left the restaurant. He got her laughing at his jokes, even played music trivia.
Hell, he had to find a way to calm himself down.
His cock had been trying to drill a hole in his slacks to break free. The feeling of Roxxy’s curvy body was enough to almost make him blow his fucking load before they’d even got started.
Now in the elevator, he couldn’t take his eyes off her. Her light-brown skin begged for his touch. Her bare shoulders were downright sexy. He never really knew when he’d got into shoulders, but Roxxy’s were perfect.
“Why are you staring at me?” she asked softly, her voice breaking into his thoughts.
“Because I think you are beautiful,” he replied automatically.
“You’re just saying that.” Her lips turned up into the corners, and she looked away.
He snagged her small wrist and tugged her close to him. Everything about her was dainty compared to him, but he knew she was much tougher than she appeared.
She stumbled into him with a gasp. He wrapped an arm around her and slid his hand down to her hip.
“I say what’s on my mind. I don’t have any reason to lie.” He stared down into her eyes while she leaned into him.
Her eyes widened when he pressed his lower half against her. He wanted to make it very clear, tonight, she was his.
He glanced up and saw they had a few more flights before they arrived at her floor.
“Can I come clean about something?” She bit her bottom lip with a guilty expression on her face.
Myles’s raised an eyebrow and nodded.
She blew out a deep breath and reached up to dust something off his shirt. “I wasn’t really inviting you here for a nightcap.”
The elevator announced her floor, and the doors opened. She stepped out of the car. His gaze dropped down to her ass, and his mind was flooded with all the things he could possibly do with it.
“I’m shocked.” He placed his hand on his chest and followed behind her into the hallway. “And here I thought we would enjoy a nice drink or something.”
