CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

MARLOW

I cannot believe what Wyatt said about worshipping every inch of my body.

It took everything in me to keep it together, the way my panties practically caught on fire.

I stick my phone back in the lacy garter, happy it worked so well. I bought one for all of us girls for this trip. When I look at Wyatt again, I try to act unaffected as I push my hair off my shoulders and smirk.

“We’ll discuss the ground rules on the way to your room,” I say.

He smirks back and holds out his hand for me to start walking. “I can’t wait.”

When I move through the crowd, winding through the club and then the casino, Wyatt’s hand oh, so low on my back, I try to get my thoughts together before we reach the elevator. I thought getting out of the club and away from the seductive beat drumming through my skin would help tone down the desire that’s taken over every rational thought.

But no.

It’s even more pronounced when we step into the elevator and I pointedly step away from his hand and go to the opposite side. His eyes never leave mine, his expression amused, cocky, and filled with such promise. I shiver, running my hands up my arms to still the goose bumps. He steps closer, his hands lifting to replace mine and I hold up my hand, pausing him.

“One night, and we don’t let this affect our relationship at work or around our friends…your family…and you’re still the same with Dakota, no matter what.”

Hurt skitters across his face and then he nods and looks at me more intently.

“I’d never treat Dakota differently. I swear to you that will never happen. I love the relationship I’m building with your little girl and as long as you’ll allow me to be, I’m in her life to stay.”

Tears fill my eyes and I blink rapidly, trying to will them away.

He takes another step closer but doesn’t try to touch me this time.

“As far as one night goes, I want so much more than that. But I know you’ve been through a lot and I’ll be respectful of what you want. I’ve proven I can stick to boundaries, and that will remain true. But make no mistake, Marlow…I want you and I don’t care who knows it.”

A whimper escapes my lips just as the elevator dings and he props his hand up high on one side of the door to keep it open as he looks at me.

“Do we understand one another?” he asks.

“I think so,” I answer, my voice barely above a whisper.

He smiles and my chest squeezes with a surge of wonder and fear and lust. Gathering my courage, I take a deep breath and step underneath his arm and off the elevator. He’s by my side in seconds, his hand on the small of my back as he leads me to his room. He opens the door and I walk inside, taking in the suite, the lights of the Strip brightening the living room.
