CHAPTER 5

Drive

N ight in the hotel was a lot different daytime. The amount twenty or thirty somethings out on the town increased drastically, while the people dressed in business attire has dwindled to almost nothing.

Thank god. She was ready for a night in the city. Even if it was Monday, it certainly didn’t feel like it. It felt like a Saturday. This trip had been so off, and today was the first day she’d felt on.

Shane felt his eyes on her before she saw him. Then Ryan was moving across the room to her like a predator to prey. His dark eyes intent on reaching her before she ventured into the crowd. He had always been sexy. Tonight, he was magnetic. She wanted to touch him as soon as she laid eyes him and she felt his need mirror her own.

He was dressed in a black button-down shirt, black slacks and black shoes. The top two buttons of his shirt were open, revealing the hollow of collarbone and a delicious tan. He carried that casual I’m-not—even-trying aura that drew women in like flies. She knew his secrets. She was one of the women. Shane licked her suddenly dry lips. If she’d been wearing panties, they would’ve been damp.

“Hey sugar.” He said. And there he was, moving in to hold her. His hand was on her waist, feeling its way to the small of her back and down where his fingers felt the curve of her ass. He kissed the corner of her mouth, then placed another kiss on her temple. Wanting and waiting.

He spoke into her tumble of curls. “You. Are. Breathtaking.”

She smiled, pleased with the feedback.

“Really?” She smiled as his breath tickled at her ear. “You too.” She whispered back.

“Tess is already in the car. She flagged down the driver. What’s his name? Jude? Or something,”

“Joey.” Shane supplied. “It’s Joey. She picked him up for a few days. Her own private Uber.”

Ryan laughed. “Well, that’s Tessa. So, Anthony’s not joining us tonight.” He paused, waiting for her reaction to the news.

Shane nodded. “She told me. He called earlier this afternoon. She was ahhh, less than pleased.”

“I’m sure.” As he spoke, Ryan moved them toward the door. Now, she could see Joey, sexy and stoic, as he stood beside the Escalade. He was tall and lean, dressed very much like Ryan in an all-black ensemble. Ryan curled his hand around her waist and ushered her toward the SUV.

“Come on. Let’s get out of here.” He said. They moved in tandem through the automatic doors. Joey waved enthusiastically when he spotted her.

“Hey,” she teased, “you clean up good.”

He laughed nervously, a blush rising in his cheeks. “I might say the same to you.”

Ryan measured him with his eyes, taking in the younger man.

“You might.” He said, his serious demeanor staying for a moment before he found a smile for their young driver. “Hi Joe, I’m Ryan.”

Joey reached over taking Ryan’s hand. “Nice to meet you. Heard a lot of chatter with your name attached to it, today.
