In these circles, people knew me by face, even if they didn’t know me personally. And I didn’t like having all sorts of people coming up to me trying to get something. Whether Kit truly wanted me or not, it was handy having her around, if only to keep off the obvious sharks.
By the time we had checked in, Sarai and Richard were coming through the door as well, Richard having kept up with us most of the way there. She smiled and we moved to the side to let them also get checked in. Already all our bags were in the resort lobby, and I headed back over to tip the person who had taken them from the car and would take the car to be parked elsewhere.
Kit stuck by me still, and I took her hand as our luggage was wheeled toward our room. Already others in the lobby were looking as if they might come over to us, two women sitting near the window having been whispering until we got closer. As one of them got to her feet and gave the other a coy look, I turned to Kit.
“Do you want to check out the facilities while we wait for our friends, my dear?” I asked, speaking fairly loudly.
Although she seemed puzzled for a fraction of a second, I glanced toward the women, keeping my face turned more toward Kit. She followed the look and then nodded.
“I’d love to, darling. You and me for a moment.” She spoke as loudly as I did and then we hurried past the women, neither of us giving them a chance to meet our gaze.
It was everything I needed. We were soon away and in the elevator, with no one but the bellboy bringing our luggage up for company.
“How long do you think Sarai will give us?” Kit asked. I couldn’t tell if she was being suggestive or not, but I shrugged.
“Depends if anyone decides to intercept her and Richard in the lobby. She likes to talk to people in places like this. Something about you never knowing where your next job or client is going to come from.” I smiled despite the words sounding derogatory. No matter how much I knew it could be good for business, I had never liked small talk and having to figure out who was genuine and who wasn’t.
The joy of what I did was in the actual doing, not the people I worked with or the accolades. I liked designing buildings and then the satisfaction of seeing them finished and, if I chose the people I worked with well, the final building being even better than I hoped.
With Kit, I was enjoying the social aspect of it more, but that was because I was enjoying Kit. All of Kit.
If Sarai didn’t give us time for anything, I knew I was going to need to take a cold shower. My mind was already in the gutter, thinking of everything I could do to her. It would have to wait until later.
As we went into the room and looked around at the suite, I considered my option. Did it have to wait for later? Or could I play with Kit a little before I got her into the bed this evening?
While she tipped the bellboy and I watched her exploring the room, I grinned. I was sure I could make this more interesting. And with any luck, it would also take her mind off the pressure of fitting in with all these rich snobs.
CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX
Kit
Although I had spent some of the morning crying, and I’d been nervous about a long weekend with Lukas at the resort, I had to admit, so far it had its perks. The suite was bigger than my entire apartment, and Lukas had already made it clear that the weekend would have some fun elements and wouldn’t be all work.
Sarai would make sure there was plenty of work of one kind or another if she had her way, however.
I tried not to think about it as I walked into the bathroom and saw the bathtub was big enough for two. Beside it there was also an ice bucket and a couple of glasses. I didn’t know if there was any champagne anywhere, but I didn’t doubt Lukas would find some if we wanted it.
By the time I walked back into the main room of the suite, Lukas had moved our bags into the bedroom and was looking in the fridge by the bar. I felt a little nervous again, not sure how long we would have until Sarai wanted us, or even when we would be expected to go back downstairs.
It provided me some comfort to know that Lukas hadn’t wanted to talk to the women in the lobby and had made it veryobvious he only had an interest in me, but I had to wonder if that was the reason I was here. Did he just want to put off women he didn’t want, or did he really want me?
As soon as he noticed me, Lukas came over to me and pulled me into his arms. For now, it pushed the fears out of my head and helped me to feel as if he wanted me here.
“You’re beautiful, you know. And I know that you’re not sure about this whole thing, but I’d like to help make sure you have fun and don’t worry about people. No one who matters thinks badly of you or wants to see you fail.”
“Thank you,” I replied, blushing at the sudden attention. Had he been reading my mind? “I hope that you’ll have fun as well.”
A smirk spread across his face, making me wonder if I’d said the wrong thing. Or the right. What was he thinking?
“There is something I thought of. If you think you can trust me.” He gently stroked my cheek, growing a little more serious, but there was something about the way he was looking at me.
I gulped, but slowly, I nodded.
“I want to show you another element of being mine in this relationship. See if we can keep you from worrying about how you’re dressed or look, and a little more…interested in other things. Are you okay with that idea?”
“You want to help me not be nervous?” I asked, not sure what he could be thinking of that would allow him to do both.
“I want to help you be all sorts of things, but yes. If you’ll give me the chance, I’d like to try something. I know this will push you in some ways, so if it gets too much, you can stop at any point, but I’d like to show you that having a dom doesn’t have to stay in the bedroom and it doesn’t have to just be about sex or you giving yourself to me.”
