Finally Hudson turned to me. “Good day then?”
I nodded, knowing I couldn’t hide what I felt for him.
His eyes darkened with desire and a whole lot more. “Tired?”
I shook my head.
Hudson’s lips curled at the corners. “You ever going to talk again?”
“I’m afraid of what I might say.”
He stepped into me, sliding his arms around my waist to pull me close. “Don’t be. Ever. Not with me.”
Melting against him, I slid my hands across his chest, desperate to feel every inch of him against me. “Will you do a late dinner with me tonight?”
“You don’t even have to ask.”
“And then after… do you want to spend the night with me?”
I felt his heart beat faster against the palm of my hand. “More than anything.”
I didn’t remember much about dinner that evening. I did remember the look on Hudson’s face when I met him outside the restaurant (something I insisted on because I knew if he collected me from my suite we wouldn’t make it to dinner). I wore an LBD—a little black dress. It was simple but form fitting, and although the sweetheart neckline only hinted at cleavage, and the hem sat a respectable few inches above the knee, it was still sexy. Especially paired with my Jimmy Choos. And by the smoldering heat in Hudson’s eyes, he thought so too.
I remembered how gorgeous he looked in a cobalt blue shirt that matched his eyes.
I remembered that I hardly ate a thing because I was so nervous and excited about what was going to happen between usafterdinner.
But I couldn’t remember our conversation. All I was cognizant of was the palpable heat between us. Both of our minds were on one thing and one thing only.
Suffice it to say we rushed dinner.
In fact, in retrospect it was almost comical how fast we hurried down the corridor to my suite, hand in hand. However, neither of us were laughing. At the time, there wasn’t anything funny about the potent sexual desire licking between us like flames scorching our skin.
My hands trembled as I fumbled in my clutch for my room key card and as soon as that door opened, Hudson pushed me gently inside, let the door slam shut, and then shoved me against the wall, pinning me there with his body and his mouth as he crushed mine beneath his.
I wrapped myself around him, wanting us to melt together, and my fingers curled in the hair at the back of his neck as I licked and sucked and flicked my tongue against his, our kiss so deep I’d forgotten where we were. All that mattered was Hudson.
My breasts were swollen, my skin burned, and because the entire dinner had felt like foreplay, I was more than a little ready for him from just his kiss and the anticipation. I tugged his shirt out of his suit trousers so I could slide my hand up under it to feel his smooth, sculpted, hot skin against my palm. I groaned into his mouth and Hudson’s grip on my waist turned almost bruising. He sucked my tongue hard and I shuddered in need, eliciting a growl from him that turned the heat between us into wildfire.
Our kiss lost all control and I felt his warm, callused hands on my outer thighs as they brushed my skin, pushing my dressup to my waist. Hudson curled his hands around the fabric of my knickers and tugged, breaking the kiss to stare into my eyes as he pulled them down. I felt them fall around my ankles and as cold air hit between my legs, my belly squeezed, causing another rush of wet.
I shivered with want as I kicked my underwear away. Hudson’s eyes were so dark they were almost black and his jaw was taut with tension. He brought his lips to mine but barely brushed them, staring deep into my eyes.
“Spread your legs, angel,” he murmured against my mouth.
Another belly squeeze.
Holy crap.
I did as asked, my breath stuttering as Hudson leaned one hand against the wall at my head and slid the other between my legs. His fingers pushed in, eased by my wetness, and as his thumb came down on my clit, his eyes flared and a groan rumbled out between his lips from somewhere deep inside him.
“Fuck,” he grunted against my mouth. “Fuck, you’re ready. So ready.”
“That’s what you do to me,” I whispered on a gasp as his fingers moved inside me.
Hudson dropped his hand from the wall as he kept pleasuring me with his other and he made short, jerky movements as he unbuttoned and unzipped his trousers. Then he took my hand and suddenly I had his hot, pulsing erection in it.
His eyes squeezed shut for a second as I fondled him and when they opened he stared deep into mine. “And that’s what you do to me.”
