“And we need to find a place to stay,” she said.
Josh picked up his phone and asked SIRI for directions to the nearest hotel.
“You forgot cheapest,” she pointed out once the phone offered an address.
“This doesn’t look like the cheap part of town,” he said as they pulled through the security gates at the front of the community. “If you want Helena to visit us, we can’t expect her to drive an hour away.”
“I only have so much cash,” she said. And no access to bank accounts or credit cards.
“This is technically our fifth date. My turn to pick the location and pay.”
“You paid for the motel last night too,” she pointed out.
“Extenuating circumstances. We were already right there.”
That was one way to look at her meltdown on the beach yesterday. But so far he’d paid for everything on their road trip—a trip that had been her idea from the beginning. Of course without him, she would have had to have relied on Noah or Josie to purchase a bus ticket for her. Hiking would have taken too long—especially for their anxious friend in the air force.
“I’ll pay you back for the rooms last night,” she said.
He shook his head. “Just have your golden lasso ready.”
WHILE JOSH WENT out to pick up a pizza instead of splurging on the overpriced room service, Caroline surveyed the five-star room for something that resembled Wonder Woman’s lasso. His cell phone’s not-so-budget-friendly selection featured a queen-sized bed. The modern headboard and nightstands were permanently attached to the wall. Not far from the foot of the bed stood an oval-shaped desk with a sleek black chair. Beside the desk was a cabinet that housed a flat-screen television and the mini-fridge, but sadly lacked a golden lasso.
She walked through the bathroom. Shower. Tub. Two sinks. A stack of white towels that might work if she cut them apart . . . But she moved on to the closet.
And after careful consideration she selected the white sash from one of the bathrobes provided by the hotel. She set the sash on the bed. She could do this. She could play the part of the superhero seductress.
“I have pizza,” Josh called. The smell of melted cheese followed him into the room. “I also talked to Lily. She promised to text Helena’s number. We can try calling later. Maybe her husband will be out? Or in bed already?”
“Maybe.” She picked up the sash and dangled it in the air between them. “I found my lasso while you were out. How hungry are you?”
“For half a pie? I need a workout first.” He set the pizza on the table and headed for the bed. He pulled off his Moore Timber T-shirt as he moved past her and tossed it aside.
“I think we’ll work up an appetite.” She toyed with the makeshift lasso, pulling it taut between her hands.
He sat on the edge of the bed and held out his hands. “I’m ready for your best superhero impression.”
“Oh no, this is your date. You call the shots,” she said.
“You want me to tell you how I like to be tied up?” he said with a laugh.
She nodded as anticipation spread through her, honing in on the part of her body most likely to respond to his touch.
“All right.” He stood up and began stripping off his jeans. “First thing, I’ll need you to lose the clothes.”
“Ah, the ‘get naked’ step.” She pulled off her top. Her cargo pants joined her boots, shirt, and underwear in a pile. “You know, so many of the comic books skip that step.”
“It’s a shame.” He kicked off his boxers and they flew across the room. “Now I want you to tie one end of the rope around my wrist.” He held out a hand. “And the other to yours.”
“Worried I’ll run away?” she teased as she followed his instructions. She tied a double knot at each end, but struggled with her wrist.
“This way I’ll be able to rein you in if you get too wild,” he said as he took the end of the rope from her and finished binding her left wrist to his right.
“I wasn’t planning to go far.” She sank to her knees and ran her hands up his thighs. Unlike his position last night, her mouth lined up perfectly with his erection.
“Fuck,” he murmured.
“Soon. Very soon. But first . . .” She wrapped her hand around him and guided him to her lips. Pumping her hand up and down his hard, thick length, she ran her tongue around the tip of his cock.
