I pulled her even closer so she could feel just how hard she’d made me, and her body almost melted into mine. “Meaning you in my bed, all night, doing whatever I tell you to.”
Her whimper had to be one of the sexiest fucking things I'd ever heard. I was used to the women I paid putting on a show for me, but if she was acting, she deserved some kind of award. It felt very real.
“You have a room here?” she whispered back, and my smile widened.
“Yes.”
Almost reluctantly, she pulled back from me so she could see my face. I didn't know exactly what she saw there, but I could only assume it matched the lust I could see in her eyes. It seemed to satisfy her, at any rate. Whatever she was looking for, she found it, based on her response.
“I just need to let them know I'm leaving.”
She gestured to the doors for the party she’d been at, reminding me that I had completely forgotten about Jackson. I should fill him in too. “I'll meet you back out here in a couple of minutes.”
With a nod, she quickly made her way into the other room, and I watched her go with an intense mix of satisfaction and anticipation. It had been a long time since I'd been this excited to get a woman in my bed, and I had a feeling this night would be worth every penny in the end.
As soon as that thought crossed my mind, I realized we hadn't actually agreed on a price yet. That went against my usual rules, but it didn’t worry me too much. Whatever she asked, I could afford, and once we got up to my room, we could settle it then.
I really couldn't wait.
~Gemma~
My whole body trembled as I stepped back inside the party and caught Holly's eye from the door. In the middle of a conversation, she nodded at me to say she'd seen me, and I leaned back against the wall as I waited for her to finish, wrapping my arms around myself to try to stop my shaking.
I couldn't quite believe I intended to go upstairs with this man I had never met before and knew nothing about, and yet, I had no doubt that I wanted to do it. His words and his touch set me on fire in a way no one ever had before, but then, no one had ever spoken to me like that either. The only man I had ever slept with had always been very respectful, which I thought I wanted. Now, suddenly, I wasn't quite so sure. The thought of what might happen, of what Cole might say and do to me when we were alone in his room, had my heart racing.
“What's going on?” Holly asked as she walked over, giving me a curious look. “Are you okay?”
I nodded, trying to sound nonchalant. “Better than okay. I just wanted to let you know I'm going to leave now and you probably won't see me until tomorrow.”
Her eyes widened in surprise before a wide grin spread across her face. “No way! Who's the guy?”
“He's attending the party across the hall,” I explained, gesturing at the door behind me. “I don't know much about him, but he's just...”
I trailed off, unable to find an adjective to adequately explain what Cole did to me, and Holly's smile got even bigger as she watched me struggle.
“Lost for words, huh? This must be some man. Have fun, Gem! You deserve it. And be safe. You're just staying here in the hotel?”
I nodded again. “If it gets weird, I'll just leave. I've got my key and my phone.” As proof, I grabbed my small clutch bag from the table where I’d left it earlier and held it up for her to see.
She wished me luck, her enthusiasm spurring me on as I returned to the hallway. Theemptyhallway, with no sign of Cole, and for a moment, I worried that he might have changed his mind. However, not more than thirty seconds later, the doors to the other party opened and he strode out, a smirk on his face and a dangerous gleam in his eye.
It felt like a magnet pulled me towards him as I walked forward. He didn't say anything, just put his arm around me as if it belonged there and led me over to the lift.
When the lift arrived, other people were already inside so we walked in and stood quietly, his arm still around my waist and his thumb tracing a circle on my hip. Nothing in the action was inherently dirty, but combined with the smell of his cologne and the firmness of his body next to me, it still sent heat through my body, leading straight to the steady pulse between my legs. I could hardly believe he’d turned me on this much by barely touching me.
As the lift doors opened on Cole’s floor, he led me out and began walking down the hall towards his room, but as soon as the door closed behind us and we were alone again, Cole pushed me up against the wall of the hallway, pressing the length of his body into me. “What's your name?” he whispered, his hands running up my thighs and under my dress.
The idea that I would be doing this with someone who didn't even know my name would have been unbelievable to me just a few hours ago, but I sure as hell didn't want to stop.
“Gemma,” I managed to gasp, though for a moment, I almost thought I had forgotten it. Focusing on anything that required brain power seemed impossible as he lowered his lips to my neck, sucking and licking at it while his hands rubbed my thighs, getting closer and closer to my already soaked knickers. My knees were ready to buckle. “Shouldn't we... go in your room?”
“What's the matter, Gemma?” I could hear the smirk in his voice even though I could no longer see his face. “Afraid someone will see you? That they'll see just how wet you are for me?”
With that, he pushed my panties aside and pressed a finger inside me while I grasped at his shoulders to keep myself upright. “Bloody hell,” I panted as his thumb brushed my clit, making my thighs and stomach clench involuntarily.
A deep chuckle echoed in my ear. “Those aren't the words I would use, but I'm guessing that means you're ready for this.”
Just as abruptly as he’d inserted it, he removed his finger and walked away, heading further down the hall and leaving me slumped against the wall. He didn't even look back to see if I would follow. He was so damn sure of himself, so in control, and for some reason, it only turned me on more.
