Between signing books, shirts, and other swags, I attempted to keep an eye on my girl. But Gina kept disappearing into the crowd of readers. Even with the murder of Rodney and Chad, these voracious readers wouldnât be stopped from seeing their favorite authors.
I spied Redd from two rows away. He looked miserable. His face was blotchy, and his red-rimmed eyes were still watery. If I was Penny Buttons, Iâd send Redd away with his dour and dreary demeanor. He wasnât helping her out at all.
âI think Iâm done with you,â Deidra announced as she threw down the pen and rubbed her at her hand. There was an hour left before the signing ended. âItâs not as busy as usual. And we know why?â Her remark was as sharp as a pointed blade.
âAre you sure you donât want me to stay longer?â
She glanced beside me, a tiny thin grin on her pixie face. âI think you have a visitor.â
I turned as Gina strode up with a brilliant smile.
âDid you miss me?â She tipped onto her toes and kissed me generously in front of all who could see. âI missed you.â
I pulled her tighter to me and tasted her sweet lips. âI did miss you.â
Someone gagged behind us. We both turned and saw Tammy, with a hand on her throat, pretending to retch.
âIgnore the bitch,â Deidra said with a snap of her fingers. âWhy donât you two get out of here?â
âSounds like a plan to me.â Gina gave me a squeeze before she led me out of the signing.
Outside the event room, I pulled her short. âWhere are your sister and friends?â
âThe Babes are going to try to find out more about Molly and her association with Rod Stiffâbut Iâll explain that to you later. Iâm done,â Gina announced as she leaned against me again. âTake me up to your room.â For the first time, I noticed her eyes were bloodshot. There was a hint of dark shadowing under them. But thereâs also a spark in her blue depths.
âWhatever you want, sweetheart.â I squeezed her tight to me. âAre you hungry? We can get something to eat and bring it up.â
âI told the girls weâll meet up with them around two for lunch,â Gina said as they headed toward the elevator.
âThatâs a good idea.â I smiled.
I pushed the up button, and the door opened right away. After she pressed seven, we quietly stood hand in hand with our own thoughts.
We remained quiet through the hallway until my hotel room door had shut. Then she was on me. âI canât wait, Philly,â she confessed. âKiss me.â
With the drapes still drawn, only a hint of light came from between the cracks. I didnât get a chance to turn on the light either, as she jumped into my embrace and clasped her arms around my neck.
I didnât hesitate and supported her weight, cradling her ass in my hands. Her legs automatically wrapped around my waist. We were eye to eye before I kissed her crazy.
