“You have to eat something. I can go find you Saltines.”
She nods then winces. “And some club soda?”
I smile while I transfer my stuff from Anh’s fancy purse to my mini leather backpack. “Yes, and club soda. Any other requests?”
“Tylenol.”
“You got it.”
“Thanks, Hattie. Hey, are we going back today? If we are, we might need to bring a bag for the car.”
“A bag?”
She mimes yakking, and I understand what she’s saying. “Got it. I’ll talk to Ed. Maybe we can stay one more night.”
I head back to Ed’s room and knock lightly on the door. A few minutes with no answer. Should I knock again or just leave? But then Ed opens the door, a towel wrapped around his waist, water trickling down his chest, his face in a sleepy smile. “There you are.”
He wraps his hands around my waist, pulling me inside. Our lips meet as the door clicks, the taste of mint from his toothpaste bright on my tongue. He backs me against the door, running his hands down my spine and lifting me up, cupping my ass in his hands. He moves his mouth to my neck, and a moan falls from my lips. The towel from Ed’s hips hits the floor.
Then I remember my mission.
“Ed, I have to go.”
He mumbles into my neck.
“Anh’s not feeling well.”
“Bummer.” He sets me down softly. “She’s sick?”
“Hungover. She needs crackers.”
“Okay. I can come too. Just give me a minute.” He gestures to the fact that he has no clothes on. I follow him as he moves toward his luggage, admiring his ass, desire building in my chest. I grab his hand as he reaches for some boxers.
“Maybe we could be quick?”
His smile overtakes his face. He reaches for a condom instead with a small eyebrow raise at me. I nod and quickly shimmy out of my shorts. Ed helps bring the shirt up over my head then picks me up again, this time leaning me against the massive window.
“Ed, someone will see.”
“There’s no way. We’re too high up.”
I’m not sure he’s right, but I want him too much to worry about it. “Okay,” I say in a breathy voice.
The glass is cool against my back, while Ed is hot against my chest. Running his mouth along my shoulder, he thrusts inside me. I clench around him with each of his movements then sigh and relax as I let him in deeper and deeper. His arms are shaking, either from exertion or pleasure, I’m not sure. I get down, turning toward the window, and guide him inside me again from behind. He groans out my name, sending fresh tingles on my skin.
Ed puts his hands on top of mine on the glass then runs them down my arms to my breasts, cupping them in his massive hands and pinching my nipples between his fingers. I cry out with the overwhelming pleasure from it. He squeezes harder, and I arch farther into him. My entire body is on fire as a massive pulse shoots through me. I can feel him release as well, every muscle tight. We’re both left panting and wet-noodle relaxed.
He pulls out and turns me around, wrapping me in his arms.
“Holy shit.”
I sigh. “You can say that again.”
He laughs and yells, “Holy shit! Why haven’t we been doing that all summer?”
I kiss his cheek lightly. “We can make up for lost time. But first, Anh needs crackers.”
After a quick cleanupand getting our clothes on, we head out in search of a convenience store, stopping by the front desk on the way out to book an additional night. We’ll leave tomorrow, and no one will vomit in the car.
