She wanted to show him what he did to her and that started with them getting the hell out of the public hallway. His thigh would not keep her satisfied for long, no, she wanted his head buried between her legs.
“Lola, we should stop.” The words did not register at first. Stopping seemed like the opposite of a good idea. They had the chance to chase their pleasure so why wouldn’t they?
“I don’t want to stop.” She couldn’t keep out the wine in her voice. It didn’t matter that it made her sound pathetic, she was horny and in need of release.
“Trust me, preciosa, I don’t want to stop either. But I don’t think I would be doing my job if I didn’t remind you of our business arrangement. I don’t want you to do anything you aren’t comfortable doing.”
Business arrangement.
Those words hit her hard. It hardly seemed fair that she was this close to release, only for her own words to come back and haunt her now. But she hadn’t taken the time to consider how this might feel for him. She gasped in horror and shook her head. “Oh fuck, I swear I’m not paying you for sex. Holy shit.”
A gruff chuckle met her mild freakout. “No, I know. Believe me, I want to. But when I get you back into bed, I want it to be because you want me and not because I stood up for you in front of your family and you feel like you owe me.”
She didn’t feel that way…did she? Fuck, her head was all fuzzy with big emotions and horniness. Damn, this man and his chivalrous nature. “I hate you a little bit,” she muttered.
“Trust me, I hate myself too.”
“Then I guess we should go back to our room.”
“Yeah, it does seem like we should.”
“Our room with only one bed.”
“Just the one.”
“That couch couldn’t have been comfortable.”
“It wasn’t,” he agreed with a small smile tugging at his lips.
“Then maybe,” she bit her lips, squirming under his gaze. She had just been rubbing herself against him and now suddenly she was shy? Make it make sense. “Maybe you should take the bed.”
“And kick you out? Nah, I wouldn’t dream of that.”
“I said nothing about being kicked out. I said you should take the bed. With me. It’s a big bed.”
The man was full-on smirking now, his lips plump and still shiny from their kisses. “You want me to sleep with you?”
“Just sleep. As you said earlier. We shouldn’t jump into anything right now, but I think we are both mature enough to share a bed and both be on our best behavior.”
“I'm nothing if not a gentleman,” Javi said and Lola had to keep herself from rolling her eyes. What they had been doing seconds ago was the furthest thing from gentlemanly she could think of.
“Then it’s settled. You’ll sleep with me and tomorrow I will deal with my family.”
Javi’s cocky smile dropped. “Yeah, about that. Again I’m sorry—”
Lola stopped him with a smack to the chest. “No, do not apologize for standing up for me after they showed you their true colors. No one has ever done that for me before and I will not let you"sorry’yourself out of this.”
“Well, when you put it like that, I guess you’re right.”
“I’m always right. It would do you well to remember that.” She winked and slowly—and very reluctantly—began to untangle herself from Javi. Once she put a bit of distance between them and straightened out her clothes, as well as pretending as if she didn’t see Javi’s erection through his pants, she spoke again. “Now, let’s head back to the room and order a pizza since we didn’t finish dinner. We can continue watching your silly movie from last night.
“Silly? That’sLord of the Ringsyou’re talking about. Show some respect.” He winked at her. Lola laughed and turned on her heels, heading straight toward the elevator. She didn’t look back, but she heard Javi’s footfalls as he followed behind, just like he promised.
CHAPTER26
Lola
Javi was a cuddler and that made her inexplicably happy. After the terrible dinner incident that resulted in being pinned up against the wall and kissed until their lips were swollen, Lola led them back to their room. Javi immediately went to the bathroom and stayed in there for a questionable amount of time doing God knows what. Her mind conjured up images of Javi braced over the bathroom sink, cock in hand as he pleasured himself to thoughts of her.
