I look into her caramel eyes. “Let’s take this somewhere else.”

She nods. “Okay.”

I grasp her hand in mine to lead her to where we can be alone, but before I can, we’re interrupted by security. “Sir, your brother’s here.”

“Which one?” I grumble.

“Me, you dick,” Connor says, looking behind me to get a glimpse of my little minx.

“I thought you were still working and wouldn’t make it in tonight.”

“I wasn’t going to, but I know how you hate this place, so thanks for taking care of the place for a couple of hours. Lucky for you, I’ve got it.” He claps me on the shoulder and smirks. “Interesting,” he adds before walking around us and then heading upstairs to his office.

“Ignore that asshole,” I tell her as I turn us around toward the exit. “Let’s get out of here.”

Since I’m in a suit, I left my motorcycle at home. We enter the parking lot to my spot, which is the second one by the door. I press the button, starting my car so the AC can kick in, then I open the door for her. “Please,” I say with a light wave of my arm. My body is demanding I carry her and strap her down so she doesn’t get away. A feral desire has washed over me. She’s not like any other woman.

“Thank you,” she says, sliding into the passenger seat. I close the door and walk around to my side. Once I’m in the driver’s seat, I give her a smirk. “I don’t think this is wise.”

“Well, sweetheart, I believe it’s the best move either of us could make.”

“I don’t even know your name.”

“It’s Ian.” I bring her hand to my lips, kissing the back of it. “Now that we know each other’s name, I believe we should go somewhere where I can strip you bare and lick every inch of your sexy body.” Even if she says no, I’ll be okay taking her home.

“Why can’t I just say no?”

“Because you don’t want to, Callie.” I pull out onto the road. “What’s it going to be, beautiful?”

“I want you,” she confesses.

“Good,” I answer, focusing on the road to the nearest hotel. It’s only a three-minute drive, and we’re pulling into the valet area. “Here we are.”

My gaze focuses on the valet, wondering if he wants to keep his eyes. In a low whisper so Callie doesn’t hear me, I say, “You better get your eyes off her, or you’ll be looking for a job for the blind.” He shakes as I drop the keys into his hand. I walk around and take her hand, leading her to the entrance. I’ve never been here before, but there’s a first for everything. It’s quiet because of the hour, so the concierge greets me in a hushed tone.

“Wait right here,” I say, sitting her down in the lobby chair. I don’t want her feet to hurt in those sexy stilettos.

“I need your best room for the night.”

“Sir, that’s nine hundred a night,” he replies in a hushed voice.

“I don’t recall asking that.” He nervously nods, typing into his system, and I hand over the black card along with my ID. A moment later, he hands it back with the keycard.

“Thank you for your stay, sir.” It’s late, but it’s going to be the best money I’ve ever spent. I walk up to Callie, who has to be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Her eyes lift to meet mine as my shoes tap the marble surface, alerting her to my return.

“We’re ready.” I want to be inside her at this very moment. I’d fuck her so damn hard in the elevator, but I’d kill anyone who saw her pussy. I find that I’m suddenly extremely possessive of her. That’s a damn first. This woman is racking up a whole bunch of firsts, and I try to fight off the instant fear that hits my spine.

“Just let me know if you change your mind.”

“No, I haven’t.” As we walk to the elevator, I wrap her arm under mine, doing my best to control the raging lust and the underlying emotion I can’t describe that’s unnerving me.

When we step in, I hit the code on the keycard sleeve and then enter my keycard. “The penthouse suite?”

“Yes,” I answer. Adjusting my suit jacket, I pull her into my arms.

“We only need a bed,” she says.

My mouth is on her throat, kissing and marking her flesh. I want to be inside her as deep as I can go until she comes on my cock. “We don’t even need that, but I want you to sleep after I tear your body apart and put you back together again.”
