We walked to my room in silence. I showed her the text from the bodyguard. Her mother wasn’t finished packing, and they were staying one more night.
She nodded without a word. As I closed the door behind us, I asked her, “Was your father the guy on the street yesterday?”
Her eyes widened like I’d broken something, but then she tugged her shirt over her head. “Yes, but let’s not talk about him, ever.”
My heart thundered as her white bra somehow made her seem innocent. Then her lips met mine, and her kiss burned through me. Desire rushed in my veins, and I held her tight against my body, not wanting to let go.
As the kiss ended, she tugged at my shirt, and I helped. “Are you sure you don’t want to talk first?”
“Absolutely.” She reached for my belt buckle.
I helped her out of her jeans, but her lips practically melded to mine. She tugged me toward the wood floor. My body was tense and ready, but I found a condom.
She helped me roll it on and curled her shoulders like she was needy and ready. Without foreplay, she climbed on and rode me, hard and fast. We both found our release, but then a thought hit me as she collapsed on me. I was falling for her hard, and I wasn’t sure how she felt about me.

Kendal rested on me, and I didn’t dare move. She naturally smelled like florals, even after eating burgers and sipping on wine mixed with lemon-lime soda.
She sighed, let me go, stretched, and stood. Then she waved for me. I followed her as she said, “Let’s clean up and head to bed.”
I grew hard at the word, and she giggled. “I won’t be long.”
She closed the door and took a second. As she finished, I quickly washed off. She was bare naked and waiting for me on the bed when I came out. I pressed against the bathroom door and took a moment to stare at her. My lips curved higher. “Kendal, you’re the sexiest woman I’ve ever met.”
I wondered if I should make love to her all night to show her how I felt.
She wagged her finger for me to join her, and I followed as she said, “You must meet the most beautiful women in the world, but thank you.”
I leaned down and kissed her. Then as I sat, I said, “Your sexiness is superior in every way.”
She climbed into my lap. “Keep talking that way.”
Our kiss steamed me up again. Making out with Kendal set me on fire with need. Immediately, my cock grew ready, and I whispered, “I can’t get enough of you.”
“The same,” she whispered.
I needed to taste all of her and be inside her.

Kendal
Joel half made me believe we were possible. Being with him made me feel like a different person, as if dreaming a little was okay.
We were so different. I knew how the end would play out and how broken I would be. But for now it didn’t matter.
While he was in the shower, I'd needed a minute to myself to breathe. I considered joining him, but instead, I wandered into the main room. He’d stayed out earlier, and I thought he’d been on the phone.
I found room service and laughed. Then I brought the plate, the bottle, and the glasses into the bedroom. Once everything was set, I tasted one of the desserts and let out a small sigh.
Delicious, just like him.
It was time we celebrated our brief moment in time. The bathroom door opened and I held up the bottle. “You ordered champagne? Did you think you needed to seduce me?”
He stared at my naked body. Goose bumps grew as I saw his approval. It shouldn’t matter, but it did. Then he pointed to the plate. “Don’t forget the chocolate-covered strawberries.”
