To Rose’s disappointment, Josh kept his hands to himself during the short ride back to his hotel. Though the clench and release of his fists at every stoplight gave her some idea of his sense of urgency. Her own hands clenched on the steering wheel in concert with the squeeze of her thighs until they arrived at the hotel and she—as politely as possible—hurled her keys at the valet.

Thank goodness the elevator was empty.

His lips pressed against hers the second the doors closed. One hand curled around the back of her neck. The other slid down to grab her ass, a move nobody had pulled on her since high school. Sometimes nostalgia was nice.

“God, I want you,” he murmured against her mouth. “You taste so fucking sweet.”

“That’s the four sugars I added to my coffee.”

“Nah, I’m pretty sure you always taste this way.”

She paused. “Hey. Wait. The elevator isn’t moving. We should probably—”

The doors binged open.

Josh’s hand flew from her butt as they jumped to separate corners.

Staring at them with no small amount of judgement was an older couple dressed as if they’d just come from something fancy. A ballet or maybe a really exclusive dental appointment.

They’d forgotten to push the button to go up.

“We’ll wait for the next one,” the lady said with lips pursed and eyebrows raised.

Josh’s disgruntled “fuck” barely waited until the doors closed. “We keep getting interrupted. You think this is the universe telling us to keep our hands to ourselves?”

Rose couldn’t keep her lips from twitching into a tiny smile. “Maybe it’s just the universe telling us not to miss your floor.”

Mere seconds after the doors had closed, they re-opened in the right place.

“Huh.” Josh huffed. “Yeah. That’s definitely more useful. Pragmatic even.”

Josh backed away to hold the door open, moving at the speed of a hundred-year-old turtle.

Still, the heat in his eyes made a tight knot in Rose’s core. “Do you think you should move a little slower?”

He grinned. “We agreed this is only going to be a one-time thing, right?”

She rolled her eyes. “Not counting the other two, yes.”

“Those didn’t count. So, we’re going to finish this thing, and we’re going to take the time to savor.”

Oh. “Savor?”

“Savor.” He reached his hand out, extending a finger to gently trail along Rose’s collarbone. An oddly intimate move, given that he wasn’t touching her anyplace particularly private.

She managed a rough swallow. “You were in quite a hurry before.”

He leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers. “Well, I do have curry on my pants. It hit me, though, that rushing keeps nearly getting us into trouble. We need a new approach.” He chuckled. “Besides. I’m a single dad with a rare night alone. My chances for a long night of naked time are few and far between.”

“I thought you had to work tonight.”

He shook his head. “Someone suggested I tell my boss to blow himself. I’m giving the idea serious thought.”

Rose pulled Josh’s keycard from between his fingers. Thankfully, it had been in his wallet after all.
