Me: At your hotel? Gemma is resting here in the guest room.

Jason: I'm staying at The Plaza. Come meet me here. I'll text you when I've checked in.

Me: Can't wait.

When I set the phone down, I realize my heart is beating fast, and I'm more excited than I've ever been. I go to my room and make an overnight bag just in case. I change and put on some sexy underwear that Jason can peel off or rip if he prefers. I notice that Gemma is out of her room and in the kitchen, so I go see if she needs help with anything.

"Hey, do you need anything?" I ask.

"No, I'm just making myself some more tea. You look nice. Going out?"

"Jason is here, and I'm spending the night with him at his hotel. Will you be alright here alone?"

"Definitely. Don't even worry about me. Go have fun with your hottie."

I take her into my arms for a big hug and hear my phone ding.

"That must be him. You have a good night."

I go get my bag and rush out of my apartment. Jason and I have some time to make up for, and I won't rest until we're even.

Chapter 5

Jason

One of the pleasures of having your own successful business is that you can afford certain luxuries. That's why I'm staying at The Plaza, even though I would much rather stay with Amber. But room service and a spa on the premises are among some of my favorite amenities. I remove my jacket and grab my phone to text my girl.

It feels right to call her my girl. She's become my everything in such a short time. So much so that I'm thinking of switching my business headquarters to New York to be with her. I'm having a lot of thoughts about the future, and my tigress is in all of them.

Me: I'm in my room. Do you want something to eat? I want to call for room service

Pixie: I'm on my way. Order me fish if they have it, if not chicken.

Me: Your wish, my command

I put in the order and go to take a shower. The flight from Vegas to New York is long, and I want to be ready to sweep Amber off her feet when she gets here. Before I know it, there's a knock on the door, and I come out with a towel wrapped around my waist. I look through the peephole and see my beautiful pixie standing there. I open the door and immediately pull her into my arms.

She's laughing in my arms, and I start giving her kisses all over her face.

"You're the most beautiful thing I've seen all day," I tell her.

"Wow, this is how you should say hello to me every time we see each other." She giggles.

"I can do that. Let me help you with your bag."

Taking the bag from her, I open the door so she can come inside.

"Hey, this place is amazing."

I put her bag on the floor next to the bed and step behind her. Her neck looks delicious so I place a few kisses there. She moves her head to the side, allowing me access. My hands are on her slender waist, and I move them just below her luscious breasts so I can tease them.

"You are the one that is amazing, Pixie," I whisper in her ear.

She turns around in my arms and links her hands around my neck.

"I fucking missed you so much, Jason. I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but it's the truth."

I rest my forehead on hers and breathe her in. She's finally in my arms.
