Chapter Eight

Charley giggled when they stepped off the elevator, and Alex bent down to pick her up.

“Alex!” She clung to his shoulders as he carried her to the door of his hotel suite.

Her head was swimming from the tequila at the reception and the bottle of champagne they’d just split in the limo. There was no way she wouldn’t have the mother of all hangovers tomorrow.

Regardless of that…all she could think was Oh my God…he’s carrying me!

“This Vegas wedding comes with all the bells and whistles,” he said, juggling her a bit as he swiped his keycard over the pad and unlocked the door. “Including the threshold.”

He carried her into the room and she nuzzled her face against his neck, loving the smell of him.

“I’m more interested in the honeymoon part of the package,” she murmured, desperate for sex.

She’d never been an overly sexed person. Something she’d just chalked up to her genetic makeup.

Yet another way she’d failed to see how wrong Ben was for her. There wasn’t a goddamn thing wrong with her libido.

What had been wrong was the man.

Alex didn’t put her down, didn’t stop walking, carrying her right through the living room to his bedroom. Then he tossed her on the bed.

Charley laughed for a second, thinking his actions a joke. Her humor was short-lived when he followed her down, caging her underneath him, kissing her, running his hands through her hair, gripping it, pulling it until her scalp stung.

Oh yeah.

Game on.

She loosened Alex’s tie, pulling it off, and she started to toss it to the floor, but he took it from her.

Gripping her hands, he looped the soft silk around her wrists, holding them together above her head.

“I’m going to tie you up one night. Spread eagle and naked. All mine. I’m going to play with you until you’re screaming, begging to come.”

Charley fought to breathe, trying not to beg him to do it right now. Every racy, kinky, dirty thing she’d ever read about and wanted to try raced through her mind.

She wanted to do it all.

With Alex.

“I’ve got some free time now,” she offered.

“Jesus, Charley.” He chuckled, then kissed her nose as he released the tie. Her hands were free, but she didn’t lower them. Didn’t want to give up that fantasy just yet. “You’re perfect.”

The words sunk in deep, drowning out every horrible feeling she’d experienced in the past few days after having her heart stomped on. She’d run the gamut as far as pity parties went—feeling like that gangling awkward tomboy again, like the world’s biggest fool, certain she had the word sucker tattooed on her forehead.

Alex was the answer to a prayer—helping her find her confidence again, her footing.

“I’m just saying,” she purred as she wiggled her fingers—still above her head, “it seems a shame to waste the opportunity.”

“Another night,” he repeated.

Reality snuck in.

There wasn’t going to be another night.

This was it.

Her one-and-only, one-night stand with Alex Stone.

It was the same as any other woman had ever gotten, and she’d be an even bigger fool than the one Ben Jerome had left in his wake if she fell victim to Alex.
