any words. My eyes fell to his mouth, and for a change, I didn’t overthink my actions. Leaning in, I pressed my lips to his. He wrapped a hand around my neck and kissed me back, but didn’t try to make out with me. Instead, we shared a very tender first kiss. After, he pulled back.
“You broke your own rule?”
“Eh. Fuck the rules.”
A smile spread across his face, and his eyes grew darker. “Yeah?”
I nodded. “Yeah.”
He squeezed my neck and tugged my face back to his. The second kiss wasn’t tender; Weston kissed the living shit out of me until I was breathless.
After, he dipped his mouth to my ear. “How about we keep one of your rules? You come first.”

It was after two by the time the three of us walked back into the hotel lobby. Scarlett had kept us entertained the entire way with the worst pickup lines she’d heard tonight, plus some memorable ones from over the years.
Weston pushed the up button to call the elevator, and stepped aside for us to enter first when the car arrived.
“What’s your go-to line, Wes?” Scarlett asked.
He shrugged. “I usually go with…hey.”
Scarlett snorted. “I guess that’s all you need when you look like you do, pretty boy.”
Weston winked and tilted his head in my direction. “Worked on this one.”
I’d been standing in front of the button panel on the right side of the elevator, but forgot to push our floors. After a minute, Weston noticed we weren’t moving.
“Helps if you tell the elevator where you want to go, Soph.”
“Oh shit. Yeah.” I hit all three of our floors, and the car started to move.
Scarlett’s room was on the third floor, so her stop came first.
“Thank you for a lovely evening, Weston. I had a blast.”
“Anytime. But I have a feeling you have a blast wherever you go.”
Scarlett and I hugged, and then the elevator headed up to its next stop. Weston’s room was on the eighth floor. The doors slid open, but he made no move to exit.
“Are you…getting off?” I said. “This is your floor.”
Weston shook his head. “Nope. I’m going to your room to get you off.”

Sophia walked into the suite ahead of me and flicked the light on in the hall. In the living room, she turned on a lamp. I followed close behind her and turned it off.
Normally I didn’t give a shit about mood lighting. In fact, I don’t know that I’d ever considered it before. But the light in the hallway illuminated the room enough for me to see her, and anything more felt like a distraction.
“Do you want some water or something?” Sophia asked.
I shook my head and crooked my finger. “Or something. Come here.”
Sophia bit her bottom lip, but moved closer to me.
I traced her pulse down her neck with one finger. “You have no idea what your skin does to me. It’s so soft and perfect. Every day while I watch you get your coffee, I daydream about sinking my teeth into it. I want to suck on every part of your body and leave marks.”
She laughed nervously. “But then it won’t be perfect anymore, will it?”
“Actually, the only thing that could make it more perfect would be marking it as mine.”
I cupped her cheeks and pulled her close. Now that I could finally kiss her, I never wanted to stop. The woman knew how to kiss. She sucked on my tongue, bit my lip, and tugged until I felt it straight down in my cock. But it was the soft mewl she let out that got to me. It traveled through our joined mouths, wrapped around my heart, and squeezed.
I grabbed her ass and lifted her off her feet. Her long legs wrapped around my waist as I carried her into the bedroom. I’d never wanted a woman missionary style like I wanted this woman. Actually, I’d never wanted any woman the way I wanted Sophia at this moment. I couldn’t wait to spread her out on that king-size bed and watch her beautiful face as she came undone.
Sophia’s fingers threaded through my hair, and she tugged. We were both still fully dressed, but the way I felt, I knew if I didn’t slow things down, I was going to break the one rule I’d told her we’d keep. So I forced my mouth from hers and broke the kiss.
She shook her head as I tried to pull away. “No. More.”
I smiled. “I want to take my
