Taryn doesn’t say anything as she follows me to our door and steps into the room.
Worried about her silent reaction, I barely notice the gorgeous room Jules reserved for us. He went above and beyond by giving us a suite. I’ll have to make sure to thank him tomorrow, whether Taryn decides to stay or not.
The look on her face is making me panic. She’s looking around without saying anything, and I hope buying her clothes wasn’t too weird.
“Hey,” I eat the distance between us. She’s at the master bedroom’s doorjamb, staring at the California king-sized bed in the middle of the room. A cream colored shopping bag with Star Cove Country Club printed in blue on the front is sitting on the silk of the comforter.
She doesn’t resist when I take her into my arms. “Taryn, I hope I didn’t overstep. If I did, I’m so sorry. I promise it wasn’t my intention. Please, pretty girl, tell me how I fix this.”
“Oh no, Colsen.” Her eyes are huge and shiny as she looks at me; like she’s on the verge of tears. “That’s the most romantic, most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for me. I don’t think I deserve it.”
“Are you kidding me?” I pull her closer until her soft chest is flush with mine. “You deserve everything, pretty girl. I wish I could take you to a nice place like this every weekend. Once I go pro next year, I’ll be able to do stuff like this any time we can get away together.”
I’ve actually been meaning to talk to Tucker about planning a nice vacation for us and Taryn for next summer. By then, we will no longer be Cove Knights. And even if our girl decided to audition again for a second year with theShooting Stars, that horrible no fraternization clause wouldn’t apply to us. We’ll have had our sign up bonuses, and we’ll be able to afford to take her somewhere awesome. Maybe the Caribbean, or even Paris.
“Colsen,” she murmurs, her hands running down the lapels of my suit jacket. “There is something I’ve been meaning to talk to you about. I was thinking about getting you and Tucker together to tell you, but…”
She looks worried.
“Are you breaking up with us? Or with one of us?” The panic from earlier rears its head again. If I had any doubts that I’m falling for Taryn, the way my heart drops at the thought of losing her confirms that I’m done for.
Taryn shakes her head. “No. It’s just something about my past that I think you guys should know.”
Relief floods me again. “Then it can wait until tomorrow. We’ll try to find somewhere to go together, the three of us. Somewhere where we can talk without getting spotted and causing trouble for you.”
She hesitates for a second, but eventually she nods. “Ok. So since we’re all talked out and we’re alone in this beautiful suite, I think you should kiss me.”
My smile mirrors her own. “Yeah?”
“We wouldn’t want to let this beautiful room go to waste, right?”
“That would be rude.” I agree and finally, fucking finally, I do what I’ve been dying to do since I saw her arriving at the party in this perfect dress.
I kiss her.
Fuck. Her lips are soft, and when she melts against me, I struggle not to immediately deepen the kiss. I got us this room so I could take my time with her.
Our last few encounters have been in situations wherewe could have gotten caught. I’ve been dreaming about worshipping her body, exploring her with my hands and mouth like on the first night we were together.
So I purposely keep our kisses playful and shallow.
“Colsen,” she pants, fisting my shirt as my mouth leaves hers to glide down the column of her neck.
“Hmm?” I find the spot at the base of her neck that drives her crazy and open my mouth.
Taryn arches her back to give me better access, and I suck on the soft, smooth skin near her collarbone the same way I’m dying to do to her clit.
She pulls my face up. “When I asked you to kiss me, I meant like this.”
Sweet Jesus. Her mouth covers mine, and when I feel the tip of her tongue brushing against the seam of my lips, I can’t help but allow her in.
She tastes like Champagne and pure sin. Every brush of her tongue against mine sends sparks of heat down my spine.
I feel my way down her perfect body while I devour her. Our breaths come faster as we lick and nip, exploring each other. But it isn’t enough. It’s never going to be enough with Taryn.
My hands cup her perfect ass over her dress and I press her against my body. My cock is so hard that it’s almost painful.
Fuck. I said I was gonna take my time. “Wait, wait.” I cover her hand with mine when she tries to open the button of my pants.
