CHAPTER EIGHT

ELEANOR didn’t remember going back to the hotel. She knew they must have called at a late-opening pharmacy or something on the way, because Orlando had mentioned the need for protection—but all she was aware of was his arms holding her close, the hard warmth of his body against hers, his clean masculine scent.

When the lift arrived, to her relief, they were the only ones waiting.

‘Which floor?’ Orlando asked, his voice husky with desire.

‘Third.’ She could barely force the word out. Couldn’t think straight, she wanted him so badly.

He pressed the button; as the doors closed behind them, he rested his hands either side of her on the wall of the lift and bent his head to hers. The walls were mirrored, so she could see their reflections kissing, stretched out in an infinite line.

Right now she didn’t want this to stop. Ever.

The lift glided to a halt and the doors opened again.

He broke the kiss and stared at her, looking dazed. His mouth was reddened and slightly swollen; she knew that hers would be in a similar state. That it would be obvious to anyone who saw them that they’d just been kissing each other stupid.

And she didn’t care. She wanted him to kiss her again. And again. Until she forgot the whole world.

‘Room…uh…number?’

Ha. He couldn’t string a sentence together either, then.

As if he’d guessed her thoughts, he kissed her again, and her mind went blank. ‘Number?’

Ah. Key. It would be on the key. She fumbled with the zip on her tiny handbag and took the cardkey. ‘Three-oh-five.’

To her shock, he scooped her up into his arms and carried her down the corridor; she was forced to slide her arms round his neck for balance. Eleanor was about to protest and ask him to put her down when he stopped outside her door. He brushed his mouth against hers, then let her slide all the way down his body until her feet touched the floor again.

She was aware that they were in a public place—that it was obvious to anyone who saw them exactly what was going to happen, the minute her door closed behind them—but the desire that flooded through her pushed everything else out of its way. And, judging from the hardness of Orlando’s body, it was the same for him, too. Need. Urgency.

Key. Where was the cardkey? Oh, yeah. She was still holding it. She nearly dropped it, then it wouldn’t fit into place and she almost growled with frustration. She didn’t want to wait another second. She needed Orlando right now. Needed to feel his body inside her. Needed him to make her forget the world.

‘Oh, why won’t this bloody key work?’ The words ripped from her in frustration.

‘Relax, piccolo,’ Orlando whispered against her ear, the warmth of his breath sending a shiver of pure lust down her spine. He took the cardkey from her and pushed it into the slot. And at last, at long last, the door swung open.

‘Dio, I am glad
