Chapter Sixteen

André

In two hours, something had changed. I couldn’t call it, but the way Marcus looked at me when I walked inside? A totally different person than the one I’d been looking at just the day before, and that one had told me he wanted to be with me. This one, though, was on a whole different level.

I shut the door behind me and he stood from the desk, his arms wide. Was he...offering me a hug?

The hell with it. I crossed the room to let myself be engulfed in his embrace.

“How was breakfast?” he asked, his voice soft in my ear.

I snorted into his chest, then sighed as he rubbed my back. “George didn’t ask a single thing about me. Not how I’m doing, nothing about the business, just logistics. In and out in under ten minutes, stuff he could have emailed instead of making me get up at the ass crack of dawn, and then he was gone.”

“You should’ve come back upstairs.”

“Thought about it. Didn’t want to interrupt you. Didn’t think I was in the right mindset.” I pulled back and Marcus tipped my chin up to him, leaning down for a brief, firm kiss.

“Understood. You hit the gym?”

I nodded. I had, and had even taken advantage of the showers. Something I didn’t normally do, but given the way Marcus held me, refused to let me go, I was grateful to have someone who actually cared.

Part of me itched to know what had changed between last night and now, but the smarter part of me knew to just enjoy it. “You get anything done?” I asked.

He pointed to the computer and walked in that direction, me following him as he sank into the seat. “Yeah, you can see where I’ve been working out the outline. The various pros and cons of each of the options, the one that we’re ultimately recommending, but the benefits of the others that our recommendation doesn’t have.”

I nodded. This Marcus, the all-business one, was seriously fuckable. And soon, in forty-eight hours if I was lucky, I’d get a taste again. Not that rushed, hurried version from yesterday, but a true chance to indulge in him. The way his arm hairs crinkled, the way those abs rippled under his shirt, the way that ass of his clenched when I squeezed it.

“You paying attention over there?”

I looked at him. “Not at all.”

Marcus swiveled in the hotel desk chair. “I like it. But let’s do what we came here for.”

And we did. For the rest of the morning and early afternoon we worked, stopping only for a quick lunch break, until it was time for me to start getting ready. I hopped in the shower, yes, another one, and when I came out, I found a suit and tie hanging on the bed. “What’s that?”

Marcus looked up from his position at the desk. “My outfit for tonight.”

I’d considered asking Marcus to come, the thought of having him on my arm something that sent shockwaves through me. But I hadn’t wanted to push those boundaries.
