Her fingers closed around my tie, and she used it to drag my mouth harder against hers.

A growl tore from my chest. I turned her against the door, pressing my body along every curve that had nearly ruined me downstairs. The satin skimmed a flat stomach before surrendering to fuller hips and an ass my hands had spent the entire evening itching to claim.

I gripped it with both palms.

Charm moaned into my mouth and pushed herself deeper into my hands.

“Fucking hell, mami.” I dragged my lips along her jaw and bit lightly beneath her ear. “You knew exactly what this dress would do.”

“Yes.”

The answer came without a single trace of embarrassment.

I pulled back enough to look at her. “You wore it for me?”

“I wore it because I knew I looked good.” Her chest rose against mine. “I wanted to see whether you were smart enough to notice it had your imprint all over it.”

“Every man downstairs noticed.”

“But you were the one I watched.”

Possession struck hot and immediate. I caught her chin and held her face toward mine. “Say that again.”

“I wanted you looking at me.”

“You had me staring at your ass in front of people who know exactly how hard you fucked me up.”

Her smile carried nothing fragile. “Did that bother you?”

“It bothered me that the dress stayed on this long.”

Charm’s eyes darkened. “Then do something about it.”

I bent and retrieved the key card from the carpet. When I straightened, she extended her hand for it.

I kept it.

Her eyebrow lifted. “Are you stealing my room?”

“I’m taking you inside it.”

“That sounded like intention.”

“It was.”

Charm leaned against the door and watched me bring the card toward the lock. “You’re very confident for a man whose heart I’m planning to steal back.”

“You already had it.” I pressed the card into the slot. “Look what you did with it.”

Pain flickered through her expression as the light flashed green, but she refused to let it make her retreat. “Then I’ll have to show you I know what it’s worth now.”

I wrapped my hand around the handle without opening it. “You can spend the entire weekend trying.”

“I will.”

“It won’t change what happens when we reach the airport.”

“Then you have nothing to worry about.”
