Chapter Seven

~ Laura ~

It was late when we got back to the penthouse, and I was both keyed up and exhausted from the day. We’d done so much and had so much fun yet not even skimmed the top of everything to do here. I’d grown up in a boring small city where the sidewalks practically rolled up at eight at night. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say there had been nothing to do but eat and go to a movie. So being here with Luke, I just felt as if the possibilities were endless.

Including one possibility I wanted to pursue tonight.

Either Luke wasn’t on the same page with me, or he was doing that not rushing me gentlemanly crap. Not that I didn’t appreciate it. I’d been pushed and coerced into the directions other people wanted, but I needed this as much as he did. And I was starting to believe him about looking for long term. After seeing his brother with Emerson, I suspected it was a Malloy family trait that they saw what they desired and went for it. And Luke wanted me.

I wasn’t so sure about the whole forever thing, but I sure wanted him, too.

The penthouse was eerily still as we walked through it, and though we had a magnificent view of the Strip through the expanse of glass on the far side of the great room, we couldn’t hear any of it. Luke didn’t turn on the lights as we entered, the outside illuminating the room well enough for us to navigate it. It was as if we were enclosed in our own little cocoon. Just Luke and me and enough sexual tension that I wasn’t sure how I’d make it through another lonely night alone.

“Well…” Luke said, his deep quiet, voice matching the silence as we stopped at my room. “Here we are.”

“Here we are,” I repeated. My teeth sank into my bottom lip as I gazed up at him. My heart slammed against my chest wall as I contemplated the coming kiss and what I wanted to say to him.

His hands slid into my hair, cupping my throat, while his thumbs caressed the sensitive skin near my ear. My breathing stuttered as my anticipation grew. Fear twined with it as I imagined him shooting me down.

“This was the best day of my life,” he told me. “Being able to spend time with you, live life with you. I want that forever.”

“Luke…” I whispered. “You don’t know—”

“I do know. I knew it the second I saw you.”

He started to lean in, and I wrapped my arms around him, going to my toes and pulling him closer. “You felt it?”

“Yeah.”

“Me, too, Luke. I… I don’t want to sleep alone tonight,” I whispered against his lips. “I want you.”

“You’re sure?”

“You’re sure I’m yours?”

“More than I have been about anything else in my life.”

“Then take me to bed.”

Luke moved so fast that if I’d changed my mind, there wouldn’t have been time. Not that I would have.
