Melissa
Elaine frowned up at me. “Mel? Are
you okay?”
She started to rise, but I held out
my hand. “Please stay. I just… I need to go. I’ll have dinner in the room.”
“But you don’t have a key!”
“I’ll get one from the front desk.
Please… just stay.” I turned and hastened to the restaurant exit.
Elaine spoke again, and the low
sound of male voices joined hers, but I didn’t stop. My heart was flying, and I
was out the door, fast-walking through the convention center hall in less than
a minute.
I’d intended to exit the way we’d
come in, but somehow, I’d gotten turned around. Now I was headed in the
direction of the small bar from our very first night. Between me and it were
three signs for men, women, and the large “family” bathroom. I paused, trying
to remember the quickest way back to the spa side of the resort. Just then, I
felt a presence approaching quickly. I started to go, but Derek’s voice stopped
me.
“Wait,” he said, touching my arm.
I turned so abruptly, he bumped into
me, catching me in his strong embrace, his familiar woodsy scent all around me.
“Oh,” I said, clutching his solid arms, looking up into his intense blue eyes.
Energy rushed through me so hard, I was sure he could see it. I almost felt
like I could see it reflected in his own eyes.
“Here,” he said glancing around
quickly before pulling me into the family bathroom.
I only had a moment to observe how
very clean it was before he had me against the wall, pinned by his huge
physique.
“You never came.” His voice was a
low, husky whisper. “I waited all night.”
My hands rested on his chest, and
heat flamed through me with every heartbeat. My eyes traveled up, up, up to
his. They were darkened now, and I was certain he was thinking the same thing
as me. He remembered how fantastically our bodies came together two nights ago.
I barely registered him reaching out to lock the door.
“I’m sorry,” was all I could say.
“When you walked in the restaurant
tonight… god, you’re so beautiful.” He spoke against my skin as his lips
pressed into my brow, his beard roughing my closed eyelids. “Are you feeling
bad?”
“No,” I managed to say despite the
heat surging through me as his lips moved to my temple. “I… didn’t think I
could eat.”
“Good,” he said in a thick voice
before covering my mouth with his. Mine opened quickly, drawing him in. Our
tongues entwined before his lips moved to my jaw then down my neck. “I thought
about you all day.” His breath whispered across my skin, and I couldn’t stop a
surge of desire low in my stomach. “Will you let me have you here?”
“Yes,” I barely spoke, and he
dropped to his knees.
He gathered the thin fabric of my
dress, shoving it up to my waist as he caught the side of my thong with his
thumb.
