As the hot water rained down on me, I tried to calm my mind, but remained focused on the fact that Alex was somewhere in this hotel hating on me right now. The look of disappointment on her face when she saw Kyra on her knees was etched in my mind.
You know how I knew I was upset? I couldn’t even jerk myself off as I normally might’ve in the shower. I was too preoccupied to get it up at the moment.
After I got out, I felt no better, not a bit refreshed. I still felt like the asshole Alex surely thought I was tonight.
I threw on a T-shirt and some gray sweatpants before lying down. The springs of the mattress on the uncomfortable bed pressed against my back. It was eerily quiet in my room, aside from the noise in my head. I contemplated turning on the TV, but what was the point? I wouldn’t be able to focus on anything anyway. So I just lay there, staring at my own pathetic reflection in the glass of the TV screen.
A few minutes later, a knock at the door caused me to sit up.
Without checking the peephole, I opened it. A long breath escaped me as I took her in—the beautiful blonde I’d been searching for all night. Alex looked neither happy nor sad. I couldn’t read her expression. “Thank God,” I muttered. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”
She stepped into the room, and the door clicked behind her. She fiddled with her hands, but didn’t say anything.
“Remind me to get your phone number after we talk. Tonight would’ve been a lot easier if I’d had it earlier,” I told her. “Not that you would’ve answered me after what you thought happened.” I sighed. “How did you know which room was mine?”
“I asked the woman at the front desk.”
“Hold up.” I scratched my chin. “She said it was against hotel policy to give out room numbers.”
“She mentioned there was a man who was also looking for me. Since we were clearly in search of each other, she agreed to give me your room number after I gave her your name.”
“I’m so sorry about what you saw earlier. But it was absolutely not what it looked like.”
Alex nodded. “I know that now.”
My eyes widened. “You do? How?”
“Right after I saw you with Kyra, I went downstairs. But I didn’t stay. When I came back up to our floor, you weren’t here, but she was still out in the hall. She’d lost her room key. She was also slurring her words, and I realized she was pretty drunk. She started rambling on about how you blew her off when all she was trying to do was blow you.”
A breath of relief escaped me. Well, thank God Kyra is good for something. Who would’ve imagined she would be the one to save my ass?
“I’ve been worried you thought I was a horrible person.”
She tilted her head. “Getting a blowjob wouldn’t have made you a horrible person.”
Now I knew I was more relaxed, because the word blowjob coming out of her mouth caused my dick to twitch. Any sexual arousal I’d lost in the shower was back in full force. This bombshell of a woman—a real woman—had me aroused in a way I’d never felt before.
“You know what I mean, Alex. There was no way I would’ve been messing around with her.” I took a few steps closer. “There’s something happening between us, whether you want to admit it or not. I sensed the way your body reacted to me when we were up close and personal earlier…” My eyes fell to her neck, which was turning pink. “It’s the same way you’re reacting to me now.”
She shook her head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Despite her attempt at denying things, her breathing became heavier. When she ran her tongue across her bottom lip, I wished I could reach out and bite it. There was so much I wished I could do right now.
I wanted to fuck this woman in the worst way. But it was more than that. I would’ve been fine just staying up all night and talking to her, too. Anything she wanted to give me, I’d take. I wondered what would happen if I kissed her right now? But instead of attempting that, I stepped back. “Why did you say what you did earlier about young people?”
She narrowed her eyes. “What did I say exactly?”
“When you bowed out of coming out with us, you said us young people should go enjoy ourselves, as if there’s a world of difference between you and me just because of our ages. You know damn well there’s not.”
“I didn’t mean anything by it.”
“Well, it pissed me off.”
She arched a brow. “But it’s the truth, isn’t it? You and your friends are younger than me.”
