Charlie couldn’t believe he was holding this beauty in his arms. He looked down at Riley’s flushed cheeks and unwrapped her legs from his waist. He adjusted her clothes, covering her, and did the best he could with the condom.

Riley blinked up at him, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth as she steadied herself on her feet.

“You watched me dance,” she said, her words so soft he almost couldn’t hear them.

Charlie hit the button on the elevator to make the doors open. “What?” As he waited for the metal doors to slide apart, he was struck with the reality of what he’d just done.

What would have happened if someone from a lower floor had been waiting for an elevator? His first time with Riley could have ended in disaster, and that wasn’t what he wanted her remembering. He cursed himself for his carelessness.

“Yesterday before dinner,” she said. He led her out of the elevator and into his suite. “You sent me texts saying you watched me dance.”

He couldn’t help but smile. It was a nice memory. She didn’t have the typical dancer’s body—lithe with minimal breasts and no hips. Riley’s curves made her movements all the more beautiful, all the more seductive. “I liked watching you. Did you mind?” he finally asked.

She frowned. “Why would I mind? It was…”

When it seemed as if she didn’t plan to finish her sentence, he tipped up her chin and looked into her eyes, his heart tight. “Tell me.”

“It made me feel like I matter.”

Internally, he winced. He understood her statement even if he wanted to protest. For too much of his life, moments of feeling significant were few and far between. Who knew rich heiresses could feel the same way? “You do. More than you know.”

He dipped his head to sip at her lips.

His cell rang, and Charlie fished it out of his pocket and threw it on the floor, never taking his lips from hers. After five rings, it stopped for ten seconds then started again.

She giggled against his lips, pulling away slightly. “You can get it.”

He grunted. “The day I choose that damn phone over a beautiful woman in my arms is the day you need to put me out of my misery.”

She tilted her chin up, her eyes luminous as she treated him to that beautiful smile. “Maybe it’s important.”

The cell stopped ringing and his hotel line started. Charlie sighed and snatched it up. “Singleton.”

“Great news!” Rick said. “UltimatePokerPowerhouse.net made an offer.”

“I’m a little busy right now, Rick. Call me tomorrow.”

“I told them to piss in the wind, of course. They totally low-balled you, but don’t worry man, I’ll take care of it.”

“That’s what I pay you for,” Charlie grumbled. The offer should have been a relief, but right now, the only thing he cared about was standing in his room with too many clothes on. “Talk to you tomorrow.” With that, he hung up.

“Was it urgent?” Riley asked, chewing on her bottom lip.

“To my agent, everything’s urgent.” He exhaled slowly and treated himself to a long head-to-toe-and-back-again look at Riley.
