Page 54 of A Reclusive Heart

They had a month left of this tour and he hoped the police were able to find the sick fuck before it was over. If they didn’t, some things were going to have to change and he was afraid those changes were going to push Jamie back into a corner and she’d go back to being afraid of her own shadow. It was only because they’d kept certain details from her that she wasn’t panicking right now.

“Please tell me that they have room service,” Jamie mumbled pathetically, looking beyond fucking adorable.

“They do, but the kitchen closed an hour ago,” Nick explained as he grabbed his bag of toiletries and headed for the bathroom.

“Of course it did,” Jamie muttered, dropping the menu back on the small coffee table and plopped down on the couch with a sigh.

The knock at the door had him biting back a smile. He ignored Jamie’s questioning look as he tossed his small bag to her and headed for the door. When he spotted the bellhop waiting outside the door, Nick stepped aside so that he could roll the cart overflowing with food inside the room.

With a polite smile, the bellhop placed two trays onto the coffee table and rolled the cart back towards the door where Nick stood waiting. He slipped the kid a hundred before closing the door. That was the first thing he’d learned about this job, in places like this, money was everything. There wasn’t anything that he couldn’t get by greasing the wheels a little. It also didn’t hurt that the manager’s wife was a huge J.L. Lewis fan and Nick promised him a set of signed copies if he opened the kitchen for his little recluse.

“What’s all this?” Jamie asked, shooting the covered trays a curious look.

“This,” Nick said, lifting the tray even as he bent down to kiss her, “is dinner, sweetheart.”

“Is that double fudge cake?” his little sugar addict asked on a gasp.

He chuckled as he set the cover down. It figured that she’d focus on the cake instead of the large plate overflowing with stuffed chicken breast, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and dressing that were giving off a mouthwatering aroma that had his stomach growling, reminding him that they hadn’t eaten since last night.

“It’s actually triple fudge with real Belgian chocolate and chocolate mousse in the middle,” he said, chuckling when she released a reverent gasp of pleasure.

When she picked up her fork and went for the cake, he wasn’t surprised. “I’m going to grab a quick shower before I eat. Try to eat some real food, too,” Nick said as he stepped into the bathroom only to come to a halt and add, “and don’t touch my cake, woman!”

“I won’t!”

Little liar, Nick thought, his lips twitching as he raised the lid off his food ten minutes later and found his slice of cake gone. His little addict seemed satisfied at the moment with her sugar intake and was now focused on her actual dinner. Since he’d actually ordered the second slice for her, he didn’t say anything as he dug into his own food.

When they were done, he placed the trays outside their room just as Holly was opening her door across the hallway. Her eyes widened in pleasure when she saw him and then narrowed when they ran over his bare chest and unbuttoned jeans. Without a word, she slammed her door shut and he resigned himself to a call from Rick in the morning. Not that he cared. With some sick fuck after Jamie, he wasn’t letting her out of his sight. Holly could bitch all she wanted about the sleeping arrangements and it wouldn’t change a damn thing.

Nick closed the door and walked back into the room just as Jamie was climbing under the covers. He waited until she was settled before shutting the lights off and pulled his jeans and underwear off before he joined her. Before his head hit the pillow, she was curling up next to him and he realized that she’d ditched her pajamas and was naked.

Neither one spoke as his mouth found hers and he gently rolled her onto her back. When he slipped a finger inside of her, he found her wet and ready, which was a good thing because he was too tired to stretch this out tonight. He wanted it hard and fast and she gave it to him.

The louder she screamed, the harder he fucked her and when she dug her nails into his ass, he quickened his pace until he thought the damn bed would break. After she came the first, second, and third time, he didn’t slow down, but instead gave her everything he had. When he couldn’t hold back any longer, he pulled back and turned Jamie onto her stomach before covering her body from behind. He slammed into her as he wrapped his arms around her, cradling her breasts in his hands as she drenched him in her arousal. Her walls tightened impossibly further around him seconds before she was screaming his name.

His balls pulled up almost painfully as he felt himself harden further inside of her. As her walls clenched mercilessly around him, he pinched her hard nipples, forcing her into another screaming orgasm that robbed him of his own. He buried his face in the pillow as he roared her name.

Afraid that he was hurting her, Nick rolled over onto his side and pulled her with him, still inside of her. Moments later, they were both falling into a deep, satisfying sleep and he realized that he never wanted to let her go.

CHAPTER 27

“Oh, God,” Jamie muttered, panting hard as she braced her hands on the tiled wall behind her and looked down.

Nick winked as he leaned forward and slowly ran the tip of his tongue between her slit. It felt so good, but it wasn’t enough. She needed more. She needed him.

Taking a deep breath, and praying that her legs didn’t give out, Jamie somehow managed to step away from Nick and moved into the middle of the large bathroom. She looked over her shoulder to find him getting to his feet to come after her and that’s when she did the most brazen thing of her life.

She got down on her hands and knees and offered him up a view that she hoped he couldn’t resist. She couldn’t seem to get enough of him, Jamie thought when she felt him grip her hips and rub the tip of his cock over her bottom. A moment later, he slid a thick finger inside of her as he continued to tease her bottom with the tip of his cock. The combined sensations left her desperate for more as she pushed her hips back so that she could ride his finger.

He continued teasing her until she couldn’t take it anymore and shifted her weight onto one arm so that she could reachbetween her legs and slowly tease her clit in time with his strokes. A few seconds later, Nick was replacing his finger with the thick tip of his cock and-

Left her with no choice but to whimper when he was forced to go find out who was banging on their door. Releasing a shaky breath, Jamie got to her feet while she listened to the muffled argument coming from the other side of the bathroom door as she wrapped a towel around herself. When Nick stormed back into the bathroom a few minutes later, looking close to killing someone, she knew that it was time to get to work.

“What’s going on?” Jamie asked as she reached back and pulled her hair into a messy bun.

“That was Holly,” he said tightly. “Apparently, someone in the office got the times mixed up and the convention starts in fifteen minutes instead of two hours.”

“Oh,” Jamie mumbled sadly.
