Chapter Nineteen

Dead Hookers Can’t Do the Running Man (Too far? My bad.)

MARK

I scrubbed my face with my hands and let the cool water hit my back as I lathered up. At my age, I should be used to the occasional cold shower, but Fiona was a whole different story. She had damn near lit me on fire and my cock was still screaming at me to just go out into the main room and take her against the wall.

After the best kiss of my life and the mood-crushing interruption from room service, I hadn’t been up for steak, even if it was filet mignon and probably cost as much as my grocery budget for a month. There had also been Fiona’s swift change in mood, which didn’t sit well.

Did she regret our kiss? Well, I suppose calling it just a kiss was a bit of an understatement, but still. I hoped like hell she didn’t regret it because it was happening again when the time was right. We may be playing this little game right now but I hadn’t forgotten the end goal was to win her over, as strange as that still sounded in my head.

So, I’d asked her where the bathroom was and took my bag in for the obligatory cold shower. I’d promised to return for dinner in a few minutes and told her to start without me. Good thing, too, because this was not working. Cooler temperatures alone were not going to calm my raging hard-on so I had to take the situation in hand.

Ten minutes later, I had changed into fresh clothes and felt a bit more relaxed thanks to the shower activities. I ventured out into the main living space again and spotted Fiona leaning against the kitchen counter biting her lip and staring out the window. When I passed through her line of sight she seemed startled and her cheeks immediately pinked. Oh yeah, she wasn’t unaffected by our kiss in the least.

I was hoping we could pick up where we’d left off after we ate and grabbed the money, even though I still thought her story was too good to be true. But I was willing to go check out the location if there was even a remote possibility we could be over and done with this crazy-ass situation. Half of me could believe my old man had acted so selfishly and idiotically, but the other half knew it couldn’t be that easy. I guess we’d see.

“Hey,” Fiona said with an awkward little wave. “I thought I’d wait for you.” She gestured toward the table where the plates still had those silver dome covers.

“You didn’t have to,” I replied, but she didn’t meet my eyes. I sighed. “Look, I can tell you feel uncomfortable about what happened between us, but you don’t need to. We can just set that aside for now and focus on food and then the money if that will make you feel better.”

I hated to see her discomfort and I reminded myself not to act like a Neanderthal and attack her over the table.
