Since we are both already dressed in anticipation of leaving, I nod. “Like I said a few minutes ago, I should get back to Cindy.”
That was my excuse to leave because I felt overwhelmed after he carried me from the bathroom and laid me on the bed before he ate my pussy with such tenderness that tears welled in the corners of my eyes as I came.
“I was planning on taking you back there.” He smiles.
“I can make it on my own,” I say softly. “Go meet your client.”
“Potential client,” he corrects me.
“Tell him that Carrie Gilbert says you’re the best lawyer in the country.”
His soft laugh sends my heart soaring. It’s such a beautiful sound. It warms me from the inside out. “What would your sister say about that?”
I slap a hand over my mouth and fake being shocked. “Promise you won’t tell her.”
We stare at each other for what feels like endless moments. We made an agreement before we slept together for the first time that our relationship would remain a secret. Neither of us has broached the subject since.
He cups a hand around my neck before he kisses me softly. “I won’t tell Abigail a thing about us.”
I welcome in the confirmation, but a part of me wishes he would tell her something. Maybe something about never intending to fall hard for me, but despite his best intentions, he couldn’t resist me.
“I’ll walk you down?” he offers.
I glance back at the bed and the rumpled sheets. It’s evidence of every orgasm I had tonight and hopefully of a few more during the next two times I visit this hotel suite.
“Sure.” I look at his face. “I always feel like I should thank you for…”
“For what?” He skims a finger over the curve of my jaw. “I should be the one thanking you for the best sex I’ve ever had.”
I don’t know if those words are based in truth, but I’m not about to question him.
I want them to ring in my ears and stay in my memory forever, so before he can say another thing, I hurry past him to grab my bag. “We better get going.”
He pockets his phone. “You have the keycard, right? I want you to use it the next time we meet up because, damn, that was a hell of a nice sight to see when I walked in.”
A blush doesn’t color my cheeks this time. Instead, I straighten my shoulders and smile. “I have it, and if you play your cards right, I may be completely nude the next time you walk in here.”
“Swear to that under oath.”
I close the short distance between us with just a few steps. Looking into his blue eyes, I sigh. “Trust me, Rook.”
“I do,” he whispers. “With my…”
Before he can finish that, his phone is sounding off again with a series of chimes.
“Jesus,” he whispers. “I should toss this thing in the East River.”
Laughing, I set off toward the door. “Your client awaits, and I have a cute kitten that needs my attention, so let’s go.”
CHAPTER FORTY-NINE
Rook
Kirby glances back at me with the brightest smile I’ve ever seen. I know she views this experience as a gift just for her, but it’s as much, if not more for me.
The memories of this afternoon will live with me forever.
Seeing my daughter holding tightly to the hand of the woman I’m falling in love with is overwhelming me in a way I’ve never felt before.
