Rock Me Faster (Licks of Leather #4) - Jenna Jacob Page 0,55
because of me. Bernie knelt down and looked me straight in the eye.
“You might have more money than god, you spoiled little shit, but you’ll never be rich until you start counting the things in your life that money can’t buy. Things like love, respect, and happiness.”
He slammed the door and took me back to the penthouse, but to this day, his words stayed with me.
I glanced at the beauty beside me as a cold chill slid up my spine.
If Harmony thought I was trying to rub her nose in my meaningless wealth by taking her to Sylvia’s palace of prestige, I was fucked.
“Oh, hell. Our limo’s here. Let’s go, ladies,” Mia announced before planting a long, sizzling kiss on Ozzy’s lips.
“Buy something sexy,” Burk instructed, waggling his brows at Sofia before cupping her neck and claiming her mouth.
Harmony turned to me. I would have given my left nut for her to press the pretty bow of her lips to mine. But she didn’t. She smiled with a shit-ton more gratitude than I deserved and whispered, “Thank you again, Ross.”
“Will you do something for me?”
“Sure.”
“Buy yourself something…frivolous.”
“O-okay.” She smiled and nodded.
“You’ll have to show it to me.”
“All right.”
I squeezed her hand and lowered my voice. “Buy anything you want…spend as much as you want. This day is all about you. Understood?”
“Thank you, Ross.”
If I hadn’t been sitting down, the quiver in her voice and bewilderment stamping her face would have taken me out at the knees.
As soon as the three women left the restaurant, I turned to Quinn.
He held up his hands. “I know. I know. Ava is having some debit cards delivered to the front desk. It’s already handled.”
“It should have been handled before now.”
“You’re right. I’d been so focused on getting Harmony here in time, it slipped my mind.”
“In time for what?”
“The tour, of course.”
Quinn’s reply was disturbingly too nonchalant. He was hiding something, but before I could begin my interrogation, the waiter appeared and handed him the bill. Quinn quickly signed his name and stood.
“I’ve got some work to do, so I’ll meet you all in the lobby at three?”
“Sounds good,” Burk confirmed.
“Tell Ava hi for us,” Darren added as Quinn nodded and strolled away.
I was next to leave the table with a wave. But before I headed up to my suite, I stopped by the front desk and dragged the ragged twenties from my pocket.
“Can I exchange these for newer bills, please?”
The young brunette with big brown eyes tried to be professional, but as she reached to take the money from my hand, she purposely dragged her fingers slowly over mine and held me with a purely inviting stare.
“Is there anything else I can do for you, Mr. Walker?” she asked, placing the crisp, flat replacements in my palm.
“Actually, there is. Would you have a few minutes to join me…upstairs?”
“Yes. Oh, yes. I-I’d love to,” she answered breathlessly before turning to her male co-worker. “I’m taking my break, Chaz.”
The young man nodded as she darted from behind the counter and rushed to my side.
“Shall we?” I gestured toward the elevator.
“Oh, my god,” she gushed, practically running to the conveyance.
The young girl excitedly prattled on and on while I merely nodded and forced a fake-as-fuck smile. I probably should have felt bad for what I was doing, but I didn’t. My mind was focused on one thing, and it wasn’t sex…at least, not with this girl.
When we reached Harmony’s suite, I arched a brow. “Do you have a pass card to unlock the door?”
“Oh, yes.” She shoved a hand into the pocket of her pants and pulled out a key card, then quickly opened the door.
I could tell by the fresh track marks on the carpet that Housekeeping had already been in to clean the room. My plan was falling into place perfectly. Though I didn’t invite the hotel worker to follow me to the bedroom, she stayed right on my heels. And when I breached the portal, Harmony’s sweet, flowery scent, still clinging in the air, slammed me like an aphrodisiac.
I stopped at the edge of her bed and my mind started filling with images of her silky wheat-colored hair spilling over the fluffy pillows and her naked body writhing in ecstasy as I devoured her succulent virgin pussy.
“Um, excuse me, but I don’t believe this is your room,” the desk clerk blurted, pulling me from my trance and pointing to the sexy stilettos Harmony had worn with that cock-hardening dress yesterday.
