“Why would I be?” She pressed her palm to his chest. “What’s going on?”
He closed his eyes. “I was so mad. And I yelled. And…”
“And I deserved your anger. We’re both going to yell sometimes. We’re passionate people in our own way. I wouldn’t even say we’ve had a fight yet. Just intense disagreements. Samuel. There’s going to come a day when we get really heated about something and you’re going to have to remind me I’m not in a courtroom, okay? Sometimes I get entrenched in making an argument and proving my point. But all of this? It’s just high emotion, like you said. We’re okay. I think we’re pretty darn good so far for two people who aren’t technically dating.”
He rolled his eyes at that. Yeah. They were doing so well at being apart. “Okay…”
“For the record, good sir?” She nuzzled closer and kissed his chin, then the corner of his mouth. “I don’t like angry sex. I’m good with mad sex, but if I’ve got something to be angry about? I’m going to want to work that out first, okay? I much prefer make-up sex.”
Now that was a good tip. “Good to know.”
“But you want to know my favorite?” she whispered.
“No.”
He laid back and closed his eyes. In no way did he need to know that tidbit of information right now. Jessica laughed and smacked his shoulder.
“Oh, come on.”
He shook his head. “Nope.”
She leaned on his shoulder and he felt the brush of her lips on his ear. “I’ve always wanted to wake-up getting fucked.”
Oh, hell.
Chapter Sixteen
Tuesday. Hotel, London, UK.
Jessica stared at her reflection. The dark circles weren’t as prominent. Her eyes were brighter, more alert. She couldn’t lie. Sleeping next to Samuel had made all her fears go quiet. Her one, real night alone hadn’t gone all that well. That was why she’d passed out on the plane so easily. Samuel had been near, and when he was close, she didn’t have a fear in the world. Now if only she could cover up this permanent blush.
God.
She was fine with everyone knowing she and Samuel were together. Hell, she needed to be honest with herself here. She liked that the others knew. It made their wonky relationship real to her. It wasn’t something they were hiding. He wasn’t playing both sides. She wanted to give this a serious shot.
“Oh, Samuel,” Kelsey moaned on the other side of the door.
Jessica’s face flamed hotter. “Shut. Up.”
Kelsey howled with laughter while Jessica closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath.
“Fuck me,” she muttered.
Then again, fucking was what got her in this predicament, to begin with.
She wasn’t sorry. Baruti or Kelsey should have closed both adjoining doors. They couldn’t blame her for everything.
Honestly, Jessica felt better after last night. Knowing this connection was important to both of them really made a difference. It settled her knowing she and Samuel were on the right side, hand-in-hand together. Maybe they hadn’t quite put a boyfriend-girlfriend label on things, but this was a level of commitment. And she was all in.
Jessica opened the bathroom door and glared at Kelsey, who was perched on the foot of a bed putting her shoes on.
“You’re really obnoxious, know that?” Jessica said.
Kelsey grinned back then glanced at the closed adjoining doors. “You make him human.”
Jessica flopped down next to Kelsey. The stiff mattress bucked hard enough it almost sent the shorter woman flying off the side.
“Shit!” she yelped.
