One of his hands slid over my ass while the other one held tight at my waist.
“I love your ass,” he murmured in my ear. “I’ve always loved your ass.”
His words shivered through me. I had no idea he loved my ass, the very thought thrilled me to the core, so much so, I kissed him for all I was worth.
I heard him groan under my kiss and that thrilled me too.
The phone was ringing again and the thing on the night table vibrated and clattered. Lee’s hand was in my underwear and my hand was at his belly, exploring his washboard abs on a downward descent.
Then the door buzzer went, three quick buzzes and then a longer one.
Lee’s hand stilled.
“Fuck!” he clipped from behind clenched teeth.
“What?”
He flipped me on my back as if I weighed no more than a sack of feathers and gave me a quick kiss.
“Don’t f**king move,” he warned and angled out of bed.
He grabbed a pair of jeans before he walked to the door and I watched him go, frozen solid and fascinated by my first, unadulterated view of his perfect, na**d body including the particularly generous gift with which God had chosen fit to endow him.
At the sight and the realization that I was sleeping next to a na**d Liam Nightingale, I’m not embarrassed to admit, I think I had a mini-orgasm.
I heard voices, tried to get my body back under my control (and failed) but then in mere moments, Lee came back into the room.
He walked straight to the bed and hauled me out. I slammed against him and he kissed me, hard and deep, but unfortunately not long.
“I have to go,” he told me.
I wanted to scream, “No!” I was beginning to get seriously hot and bothered, he’d just admitted he loved my ass and always had, and I wanted to explore his God-given talents.
Instead, I just kept holding on to his shoulders because that was all I was capable of doing after his kiss.
He smiled.
Damn the man.
“I’ll pick you up at Fortnum’s as soon as I can. Promise me in the meantime you won’t get into trouble.”
I nodded my head.
He stared at me a second, then sighed.
“You’re lying.”
“No I’m not,” I replied.
“Just don’t do anything too stupid.”
As if!
He brushed his lips against mine. He let me go, headed straight to the bathroom, took a shower, dressed and left.
I called and asked Ally to come pick me up.
We had a long, busy day ahead of us if we were going to find Rosie.
