Chapter Thirteen

The bed shifted under Jared, nudging him awake. He forced his eyes open when the warm body next to him pulled away. The night before teased his half-conscious mind, and a nagging reminder wormed its way into his thoughts; a voice whispering how completely she’d almost made him lose control.

She’d drawn out a side of him he thought he’d reined in long ago. The side that should know better than to say what was on his mind and wanted nothing more than to growl dirty words into her porcelain skin. He’d even considered sex without protection.

At least he’d pulled back before they’d gone too far. Stopped her from doing whatever her version of “returning the favor” might have been. He’d kept things from being about anything more than just immediate pleasure. Right?

Something tickled the back of his thoughts, reminding him he’d all but offered to introduce her to his sister. Maybe he’d lost a little more control than he’d intended to.

What was wrong with him? He watched Mikki climb out of bed and pluck her clothes from the floor.

“It’s five a.m. You’ve only been asleep for a couple of hours,” he said

She jumped and turned to face him, giving him a fantastic view of her naked figure. “We both have places to be today.”

He pushed up on one elbow, smothering the disappointment swelling inside. She had a good point, and he didn’t have an argument. It wasn’t like they could lock themselves away for the rest of the week. Or that he’d ever see her again outside of trade shows. “Right.”

Still, he couldn’t just let her walk out. He sat up and scooted forward on the bed until he was sitting on the edge. He tugged her between his legs and pressed his lips to her stomach. The sound that tore from her throat was somewhere between a sigh and a moan. He continued the line of kisses as he stood, tracing up her sternum, her throat, and finally her mouth. She molded into him, palms hot on his chest.

It was too soon when she stepped out of his grasp, dark gaze not meeting his. “I have to go. Last night was good.” She shook her head. “No, that’s not true. It was amazing.”

He sank back to the mattress, silent and watching while she dressed. She gave him one last weak smile before she left. The moment the door swung shut behind her, he flopped back onto the bed, stare directed up but thoughts turned inward.

“Fuck.” His soft curse echoed in the quiet room. The ache in his chest defied every denial he tried to feed himself that this was all over. He couldn’t do this. He couldn’t fall for her. It didn’t matter how much she was everything intoxicating, she was also everything completely wrong for him.

He wasn’t going to throw away his career or sense of order for a fling. This job was important, and she worked for the competition. On top of that, he’d already let himself be distracted too much this trip.
