DORIE

Iknew Eliza saw me and Kaisen dancing and I didn’t care. Her eyes flicked to us, just for a second before she looked away. Her smile never faltered as she laughed at something Cullen said. Maybe she didn’t care either. Or maybe she just didn’t want to see it. Either way, I wasn’t going to let it stop me from savoring the moment.

Kaisen’s hands were warm on my waist, his body pressed against mine in a way that felt both familiar and electric. I could feel the tension in him, the way he was holding back. It only made me want him more. His breath was hot against my ear.

“Let’s get out of here,” he said.

“We can’t,” I said.

“Why can’t we?”

We were both feeling the heat. I wanted him naked. It was pretty clear he was hoping for that as well.

“I don’t know,” I said. “They’re going to notice if we disappear.”

“Who fucking cares?” he said. “I don’t. Let’s go. They’re all drunk anyway. And I guarantee you Eliza doesn’t care. The party is over. There will be no penis pops. Do you really think she and Cullen are going to stay here much longer? Look at them.”

My gaze drifted to where my sister and her fiancé were definitely going to be making a break for it.

“See,” he said. “They’re practically stripping each other naked with their eyes.”

“Okay,” I said before I could change my mind.

He flashed a grin. “Let’s go.”

He grabbed my hand and pulled me off the dance floor. I bumped shoulders as he pulled me through the crowd.

“Almost there,” he murmured. He glanced over his shoulder. There was something primal in his gaze that made my stomach flip.

He guided us toward a side exit. The moment we stepped out, it felt like we’d crossed into another world.

Kaisen didn’t let go of my hand. We moved quickly, laughing under our breath like two teenagers sneaking out past curfew. I glanced over my shoulder, half-expecting to see Eliza or one of the girls chasing us, but the coast was clear. For now, at least.

We walked back to our hotel as fast as our legs would carry us.

“My room,” he said.

“You know, I’m wasting a perfectly good hotel room by coming back to yours.”

Kaisen smirked. “Trust me, you’re not wasting anything.” He pressed the elevator button, his free hand sliding around my waist to pull me closer. “Besides, my room has a rooftop hot tub. I’ve been dying to use it.”

I raised an eyebrow, trying to play it cool even though my heart was racing. “A hot tub, huh? Is that your idea of romance?”

He leaned down, his lips brushing against my ear. “You’ll find out soon enough.”

We stepped inside the elevator, the space suddenly feeling too small with the way he was looking at me. As soon as the doors closed, he pinned me against the wall, his mouth crashing into mine. My hands tangled in his hair as the elevator climbed higher and higher. By the time we reached his floor, I was breathless, my lips swollen and my mind hazy.

The doors slid open just before he could hike up my dress and take me right there in the elevator.

He fumbled with the keycard to his suite but finally managed to get the door open. I walked inside, barely getting the chance to look around when he grabbed my hand and jerked me backward. He kicked the door shut behind us and nearly swallowed me whole.

I swatted his hands away, pretending to be offended. “Slow down, cowboy. I thought you were going to show me some romance.”

He groaned, dropping his forehead to mine. “You’re killing me, Dorie.”

I laughed, stepping back to unzip my dress myself. “Patience is a virtue, Kaisen.”
